- Comment on Burger King will use AI to monitor employee 'friendliness' 6 hours ago:
Haven’t been there in a couple decades, but that kind of 1984 BS would put them from passively skipping to actively disliking.
- Comment on Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras | TechCrunch 3 days ago:
Couple dead pixels from a particularly bright light might well make them unable to do their plate reading job efficiently. Might make for an interesting study.
- Comment on Liminal Space 5 days ago:
Every time certain segments of society speak it causes small potions of the audience’s brains to drip out of their ears. These bits are scraped up off the floor and, after mixing well with some tapioca, come to plausibly resemble the mental functions of the person last heard speaking.

If one wants to be an ‘aktually’ arse then take note that ‘declawing’ is actually a much more precise term than ‘mutilation of extremities’ which could perfectly well mean putting their tail in a wood chipper and be technically correct
- Comment on Beans 5 days ago:
On a whole I don’t support any sort of unnecessary bodily modification, declawing, tail bobbing, circumcisions, or whatever.
What bothers me is when people find it necessary to interject some unneeded drivel because of some passing word that’s a perfectly well accepted term.

Do you just go around looking to be offended?

- Comment on What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally? 1 week ago:
My go to for messing with chat bots is Kobold that’ll let you split the work between multiple GPUs. I get the impression the actual processing is only done on one but it lets you load larger models with the extra memory.

I was using a Nvidia 3060 for a while, then had 2 in one box, then switched to a 3090.
The amount of vram is a big factor for decent performance. Getting it to not sound like a predictably repetitive bot though is a whole separate thing that is still kind of elusive.
- Comment on Rechargeable electric arc lighters kinda suck for the average person, and will typically end up as e-waste. 2 weeks ago:
Pretty close, had one for a brief while, mostly used for incense till something got screwy and apparently connected the electrode to the casing to zap the hell out of me.

Like to be, maybe Floyd, more realistically Statler/Waldorf

Death, the ultimate health program.

Consistency is key. For many the problem is they think of it as something you need to do for a while and then go back to ’normal’ when really you should be looking for a new normal.
Apps can help, the best one is the one you actually use honestly and routinely.

Unless you’re a huge person to start or have massive water weight you don’t. A pound of fat is approximately 3,000 calories, so you would need an almost 3K deficit every day to drop that, and since most people eat around that much as their normal intake that’s an extreme amount that could be deemed starvation.
Now if you happen to be huge where the normal body functioning uses well past that then maybe, but if you’re anywhere below 300 lbs that would be a crazy amount for 2 months.

No idea, never had a reddit account and not sure there’s a place on the fedi to support a 3rd party site. Just seems an odd thing for a first post on what’s functionally a reddit alternative to ask how to get back on reddit.

Here’s betting they essentially told him to stuff t and he’s gonna try and spin continuing the status quo as some big win for the master negotiator.

- Comment on Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot 1 month ago:
That you should have the option to run locally without calling back to home base without a special pass from MS.
- Comment on Logitech caused its mice to freak out by not renewing a certificate 1 month ago:
It’s a mouse, they used to just be a simple thing you plug in, get a basic driver from the OS and it makes a cursor move.
- Comment on Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkill 1 month ago:
Have run Lemmy and now Piefed, it’s nice to have things customized to your wants, but probably wouldn’t bother if it was setting up a host just for that.
- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 1 month ago:
Would depend, are you saying the same volume in same state or different states? If you freeze 1 volume of liquid water and compare it to a liquid same volume of water I would question it. Is the trapped air in ice from the ambient environment or is it dissolved air expelled from the water as the molecules lock together?
Would be interesting to freeze two samples in sealed containers with one being in a vacume.
- Comment on What are therapists allow to share about their clients? 1 month ago:
All medical journals and manuals where at some point someone’s story, or an aggregation of multiple stories perhaps. What differentiates it is the connection to a person. It’s plenty fine to talk in the abstract about cases for things like instruction or peer input, but only those that are a proper member of the care team, or are given specific disclosure access, should be able to attribute the discussion to an individual.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 month ago:
I fail to see the problem with having modern games on there? It’s still the same DRM free platform regardless.
Plus, for a large part those older games where also made by mega corps of the day, some still around others faded away, but hardly a collection of indi devs across the board.
- Comment on YSK pills are a scam (reposting bc mod accidentally removed it) 1 month ago:
Exactly, but rather than asking to talk about it OP wants to play a troll game. I’ve had someone in my house try and OD as well, it’s not something you forget.
- Comment on YSK pills are a scam (reposting bc mod accidentally removed it) 1 month ago:
Put a pill in a glass of warm water and check on it in a few hours. If you mom was sick and had a bunch of pills in there it wasn’t because they just stocked up over the years.
- Comment on North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location 2 months ago:
This is a company that's been reported to use the dwell time of you mouse over a product as a potential indicator of interest. Something like a Citrix remote desktop is extremely chatty trying to keep the origin and server in sync with every move of a mouse or keystroke. If the ACKs from the origin confirming the receipt of screen change data took an abnormally long time it could show in system performance metrics pretty easily.
