• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK government delays AI copyright rules amid artist outcry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is something the US has got right, copy protection should only apply to works by humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assuming an average value of $500k per-house, a millionaire could own two houses and a billionaire could own the entire neighborhood⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You assume they are paying outright and not financing it over a couple decades. They own a significant more doing it that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨will pcs switch to arm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, Mac’s are ARM based with their M chips.
  Most single board computers like Raspberry Pi are ARM based.
  The 3 big cloud providers all offer ARM based platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I like those odds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Continuwuity v0.5.6⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I should downvote you for the name but I don’t read coworker like a week so I won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should've been the point or points for society to throw up their hands and stop supporting the government?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  2001, attacking yourself to justify another decade long war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey, I Shrunk The Vids - a Windows transcoding frontend for FFMPEG⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a good middle ground for people who don’t want to run Tdarr and who don’t want to learn longass commands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a program for tracking IEEE reference numbers and adjusting their order?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t most word processors deal with this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm sure a good lot of you, like me, had been anticipating/dreading that moment when we say, oh fuck this is it, for real. Like the BIG oh fuck. My question is, how ready are you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are users data protected on the fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t think so. There is also nothing stopping an instance admin to patch Lemmy to ignore delete requests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA's economy is based on letting children decide what they want to do with money that isn't theirs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Got to start that consumer mindset when their brains are knowledge sponges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dreams are just ai slop your brain forces you to watch.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not recently, but as a kid you may have. Kids have quite the imagination.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I had a time machine I would go back in time and give all my friends their mental health diagnosis before they had to live through the really tough parts.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But would medical professionals accept your claim to get the support they require?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  sudo sleep [3h?] | sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
  

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t need to rerun. There was an interview with Bryan Cranston about his time on soap operas and he said they repeat the same lines every couple episodes in slightly different ways to catch people up who missed episodes. And with 200 episodes a year, that is a lot of watch time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It has to be a soap opera running since the 60s right? Days of our lives kind of show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michelle Obama once said when they go low we go high. Meaning the republicans go low. What would be the equivalent of the Democrats going low instead of high ground?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Biden administration actions surrounding the rail strike. Give the damn workers paid sick leave already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: this is the hardware your favorite minetest server runs on⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Minetest?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game have you been most patient for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I see it like Factorio. It started as a crowdfund/Kickstarter so selling it below the price the backers paid diminishes the trust the backers showed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US mining company Alcoa hit with ‘unprecedented’ $55m penalty for illegal clearing of Western Australia jarrah forests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus Christ WA. Here take this $20M fine for clearing land you weren’t supposed to, also here is a permit to clear some other land…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High-speed train ticket between Newcastle and Sydney to cost $31 for one-hour journey from 2039⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  $31 in todays money so closer to $50 by the time it is actually running and the fair is adjusted for inflation right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game have you been most patient for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Rimworld.
  It’s on my list of games to play and steam will recommend it at least once a day but I just haven’t purchased it yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think of this "change your profile photo to Clippy to protest anti-consumer practices" thing, and would you say that organizing and collective action would be a lot better and such?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s useless. Changing a profile picture is like saying thoughts and prayers or adding a tint to your Facebook profile pic for whatever is popular to support.

  If you truly want to combat anti consumer practices, stop consuming it and actually complain to your consumer affairs regulatory body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But some of the best fixes are actually free⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The study revealed that quitting smoking, exercising more, improving sleep, and maintaining a healthy body weight were all linked to lower overall healthcare costs and reduced reliance on medication for back pain.

  Really? You don’t say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three-quarters of Australia’s new cars use more fuel than advertised lab rating, testing shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that really surprising? The ratings are in ideal conditions when people do not drive like that.

  I remember an offhand comment Jeremy Clarkson made on Top Gear where you look at the city driving number, the worst L/100K, as that is what you should expect when driving on a highway when it is suppose to be most efficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It makes sense to subscribe to niche communities on Lemmy because the popular ones appear in c/all anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you sort by New you only miss what you block.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 200K Australian Driver’s Licences Exposed in youX Cyber Breach⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know right. Between data breaches and the data mining done by tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft is any information actually private any more?
