Are you sure you want to insert a cheat code?

Yes.

Cheat activated!

The best part is that you can everything exactly as they want and it still won't be good enough.

Copilot misses the question, elaborates on topic I was speaking aloud instead. (lemmy.world)

Was using my SO's laptop, I had been talking (not searching, or otherwise typing) about some VPN solutions for my homelab, and had the curiosity to use the new big copilot button and ask what it can do. The beginning of this context was actually me asking if it can turn off my computer for me (it cannot) and I ask this....

Lath ,

I believe it uses your browser history to gauge your interests and bases its responses partly on the type of stuff you participate in repeatedly.
So if for example you browse websites related to privacy more than anything else, it takes that into account and gets all creepy about it.

Lath ,

Toddlers aren't safe either.

Lath ,

Yes.

Civil war refers to a war between two or more ideologies or groups belonging to the same country. The only civil thing about it is the lack of WMDs and even that isn't a certainty.

Lath ,

You're in the US, aren't you? There are shrinks for anything in that country.

Lath ,

Online sovereign citizen?

Lath ,

And the blame lies entirely on the companies themselves. False advertising to attract investors and placate shareholders that means lying through their teeth to make a fuss and then backtracking through language manipulation.
They created the media that exists today. The resulting mess is their responsibility.

Lath ,

Is this for people who've never been outdoors? Because outdoors is more like Cabin in the Woods and Tucker and Dale meet Evil than this.

Office 365 asking for permissions to change browser settings (lemmy.world)

I have to use certain Microsoft apps for work, so I strictly only use the web versions as I am on Linux. However, just seen this setting pop up in Word while working on a document. I wonder what in specific they would change, considering i am on Firefox. Does anyone know anything about this? Is there an actual good reason for me...

Lath ,

Makes bing your default search engine.

Lath ,

Very unique was originally an insult veiled as an unintentionally incorrect usage of the expression. The hidden meaning could be explained as "I think it's retarded but I don't want to say that in public."

Source: chick movies.

As for Jealous vs Envious. Are you sure it isn't merely your perception that's mistaking the use?
I know I tend to confuse the two because one wants something that resembles what you have and the other wants what you have directly.
So the perception of those involved can mix up the two concepts in this regard.

Lath ,

It might have to do with grouping. Use less for one lump, use fewer for individual count.

Lath ,

The middle is decided by the average life expectancy in your country divided by half.
For example in the US, with all the school shootings, I'd say most people already missed theirs by several decades.

Lath ,

Oba means auntie/old lady. I learned that from hentai.

Lath ,

Bukkake.

Just keep small animals away from their hands.

VPN and Tor use on the lemmy verse, is it banned ?

Hi, I have noticed for three days now not being able to post comments from my Lemmy.world account while connected via Tor (I was left waiting for a spinning wheel )! I thought at first It might be a problem with LW servers but after three days, I concluded they are banning Tor and VPN users from posting, I Have found a user...

Lath ,

It definitely will. Past CSAM spam used abandoned or ignored instances to smuggle into the larger ones.
When you build something yourself, you also become responsible for what goes through it.

Age of Mythology

Lath ,

First of all, as a time honored tradition it is customary to say this: Never, ever trust an autosave. Manual saves and backup, always.

With that out of the way, yeah, libre office is kinda bad at the regular user stuff. If you aren't a fiddler who goes through options first and sets their own personal preferences, a bad time will be had.

Also, apparently crashes might reset the auto save tick depending on the version used, so check twice if it happens again just to make sure.

Ps: Never had an issue with it personally, but it's hit or miss with its users.

Lath ,

You worked in IT, not with IT. You made the bugs, but didn't experience them.
Your tradition is having users calling you for the dumbest of things and everyone you know calling you to fix their electronics.
We are not the same.

Lath ,

You are correct. And yet, I feel I must send a "whatever you think you know about what I’ve done and what I’ve seen, it’s not nearly as much as you think you know" right back at you, random internet acquaintance.

They're even shafting their shills when it comes to paying a decent wage.

How to constructively protest against AI voice transcription at work?

As a medical doctor I extensively use digital voice recorders to document my work. My secretary does the transcription. As a cost saving measure the process is soon intended to be replaced by AI-powered transcription, trained on each doctor's voice. As I understand it the model created is not being stored locally and I have no...

Lath ,

Dunno, maybe collect the news of every private digital data leak in recent years and show how unsafe it really is?

Lath ,

Cloudflare says it's not them, but the website owners using custom settings or malware taking over websites and posing as cloudflare.

Lath ,

Technically, no. However, when an officer is at their post in uniform, interfering with their work is a punishable offence.

Lath ,

They only care about the bread wiener in the family.

Lath ,

The US creating and arming its own imagined enemies? What a shock.

Lath ,

If they can't afford to lose money, they should stop being poor.

    It's alright. You'll still have your non-fucking mind.

    Lath ,

    Yea, but he's really passionate about it.

    Lath ,

    Companies: "Haha, dumbass! We don't care."

    Lath ,

    That's what you get for all the teabagging you've been doing..

    Lath ,

    Some comments complaining about the house elves status don't see how well it spills into real life.

    Society didn't care in the books, society doesn't care in real life. Change was slow in the books, change is slow in real life.
    Rowling was accurate as fuck in this regard.

    Lath ,

    Now you're reminding me of those literary analysis classes. "The author used the colour blue to express their hidden and deep sadness over the loss of a burrito to a seagull..."

    While we might be able to extract her point of view at the time of writing and we might assume its evolution based on her later public interactions, logic only suggests a probable conclusion based on those components, not a definite one.

    Rowling also integrated parts of her own experiences into her stories. How do we know Hermione wasn't a jab at herself or some other girl she knew? Must it absolutely be a broad perception of real life? Why can't it be a particular and individual event to have given it inspiration to grow into something bigger?

    Logic is only sound when it covers all the angles, not just the ones favorable to a set conclusion.

    This randomly reminds me there's a place in Los Angeles called eggslut.

    Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

    "Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

    Lath ,

    No worries. They'll reinvent the wheel eventually.

    Lath ,

    Don't go this route. It never ends well.
    But if you really need to know, then yes, a fuckton of face washing products for issues you never knew existed. You'll buy a dozen for starters, with a couple more dozen on the way.

    I believe they may be making a unilateral distinction between being a pussy and having one.

    Lath ,

    My faulty memory tells me 9gag has somewhere around 3000 or so. But I worked with a lot of numbers recently so I have no idea how accurate that is.

    Lath ,

    There's a lot of anti-stuff going around there. Let's just say that even if it were possible, federation with 9gag is definitely a hard pass from both sides.

    Lath ,

    We found the naked window neighbor.

    You were doing jumping jacks in front of your window. Nice bounce btw.

    What if a Death Divider bites a living person? Does it divide by 0?

    Do not get permanent fangs! You'll bite yourself more often than you'd like.

    Lath ,

    I've seen people in all stages of life bite themselves, so.. maybe.

    Lath ,

    Unless you're south of the equator ...

    Lath ,

    Commie. The poor will just trade the food for drugs, might as well throw it away as trash and shoot anyone that gets near it.

    Too link; didn't click (you should though): The accelerometer data in our electronics can be used to map us out like we're a Roomba vacuum cleaner, among other things.
