It's surely a nightmare for long term usage but is there a software that can beat the functional reactive sort of auto updates when using spreadsheets with a few thousand rows of data? I'd have to actually use my brain to do the same thing as a pivot table in an array programming language.

"Name one reason, I would like to try Linux."

"[Names some reasons]"

"[Argues forever]"

People like you are so irritating. What's the point of doing this? If you wanted to argue about it then why lie to lure people into responding?

It's Linux, fuck's sake, if you want to argue about it just make a top level post writing anything at all about Windows or any distro and you'll have plenty of takers.

jkrtn ,

Look at how mad you are on Microsoft's behalf. So according to yourself, you have deep problems to attend to. Go get some help, then, good luck.

jkrtn ,

Go argue with people who care about changing your opinion.

jkrtn ,

He's pretending he doesn't want to argue so that people will respond so that he can argue. I don't give a damn what he uses.

The two of you are in linuxmemes unhappy about how Lemmy linux users are being unfair to Windows. Good luck with that, I guess?

You don't need to pretend to want a genuine discussion "oh I do want to try Linux so much" to get an argument. Just be direct, plenty of people will oblige you. You're doing fine, BTW, your position is clear, nobody responding to you about OSes will get anything they weren't expecting.

jkrtn ,

If you find random people on the internet talking about pros and cons of an Operating System irritating, you have deeper problems to attend to.

Go find some help.

jkrtn ,

You are so mad about this whole thing. Unhinged. All you want to do is argue and whine over and over and over. You're still here trying to bait and provoke a response. Calm down and go get some help.

jkrtn ,

The best case scenario is: when they cut off access there is a large enough public outcry that they immediately reverse position (until the next attempt).

jkrtn ,

Whenever my workflow is interrupted by a review nag, they receive 1 star.

jkrtn ,

It's the sample image and dozens of other things. For example: people telling them they're too sensitive for life because they're feeling uncomfortable looking at softcore porn while doing their work or research.

jkrtn ,

Wow some clowns spent nearly half a million on some of the laziest JPGs ever drawn. Wish I had been in on a grift like that. If someone can afford to spend that much on a PNG they don't need the money so it is basically victimless.

jkrtn ,

The whole website is cringe. It has some of the best little communities are on there, but they are the exceptions. Most of it is power-tripping mods and disingenuous arguments from far-right lunatics on a foundation of "narwhal bacon lol."

jkrtn ,

All of humanity is a network of power-tripping fiefdoms.

jkrtn ,

No, you see, when the server demands something I dislike that is removing choice. And when I demand something the server dislikes that is defending freedom.

jkrtn ,

The nature of federation is that you can make your own instance with your own rules independent of a single walled garden and still participate with the other members. Create your own index if you don't like this one.

jkrtn ,

They only list instances that share their principles. The only "forcing" being attempted here is the two of you insisting they need to list instances they don't want to list. The point of federation is that you can start your own list if you don't like their policies.

jkrtn ,

You cannot prevent power centers from leveraging their influence, but with federation you can route around it.

jkrtn ,

The phone reports it, yeah, it is creepy. Should be illegal to even have the knowledge to differentiate.

jkrtn ,

I'm still not paying a fraction of a cent for the obviously LLM-generated bullshit that has flooded the internet.

Brand recognition is one of the key goals for running ads, it works.

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments (www.theguardian.com)

Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’...

jkrtn ,

How long has this been a law? The last time I went to NY I saw plenty of people sleeping in Penn Station.

jkrtn ,

Only if you're charging a luxury room price for the stable.

jkrtn ,

At least one person I saw was in the stairwells on the way from a waiting area down to a train platform. I don't think passengers would want to sleep in the corridor between the gate and the plane at an airport, but you're right, perhaps it is only the locked door that is holding them back.

Now I am kinda curious why they were staying there if they were supposed to be guaranteed shelter. I wouldn't be surprised if the state failed to house them despite the law and that was the warmest place they could find or if the offered accommodations were unfit or dangerous.

jkrtn ,

It should be something that must be returned if there's a severe fuckup within five years or something. Also they shouldn't be getting bonuses, they are already massively overpaid.

"Simply find the registry value and know to change it from 0 to 2 to turn off this specific recurring ad on your own machine." No thanks, I can actually just begin adless and remain adless with one simple trick.

jkrtn ,

Oh, no thank you. The framerate is great but the character editor is tedious and complicated so my current save is a little gremlin.

jkrtn ,

I was about to object that config files are also cryptic but you have a hell of a point that they contain comments. They are also usually are set up in a way to retain the contents across distro updates.

jkrtn ,

Luckily I know they're not talking about me because there is only one computer and one big project.

jkrtn ,

My views on humanity fell off a cliff in 2016. I've always been pretty cynical but that was rock bottom. Imagine my surprise that there was another cliff to fall off of in 2020. And the worst that happened to me was getting called "genocidal" because I don't believe "why not, maybe it works" is scientific enough to justify giving everyone ivermectin.

It is completely despicable to attack a healthcare professional because they don't agree with the conspiracy theory of the day. Let alone a family member. I'm sorry they decided to do that to you.

All this because a lone dimwit didn't want cloth masks to muss his makeup.

jkrtn ,

A shaman would be a step up because I don't think shamans actively make anything worse.

jkrtn ,

My healthcare professionals: "it is mRNA, it creates the spike protein and then is gone from your system in a matter of hours. Those proteins trigger an immune response that works as an inoculation."

Vs.

Guys on the internet: "the mRNA is experimental gene therapy that will alter your DNA and make your ovaries or testes grow spikes like a chestnut. It crosses the blood/brain barrier and gives you Creutzfeldt–Jakob."

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

jkrtn ,

Yes. The headline definitely needs a "for now" to be accurate.

jkrtn ,

That stuff should be operable on a published and standardized protocol that third-party units can easily talk to. Put in your own little control box with cellular transceiver.

jkrtn ,

Customers would probably like if manufacturers include a unit that uses the standardized protocol, yes.

Are you not paying the manufacturer for the cellular service to run the climate control? That's nice but doesn't sound typical to me. I'd like to choose my own, or decline the cell service and have it only available from my wifi.

An untapped mobile device biometric.

jkrtn ,

This is not quite the same product but I thought this device looked interesting

https://tillitis.se/

jkrtn ,

People in one of the other threads were speculating that it is widgets, or one theme that is able to do multiple configurations. Really should be containerized or something, tho.

I switched over because I preferred Apple's encryption decisions over Android's at the time. Apple drops your keys from memory while locked vs. Android unlocks once and then holds keys in memory. I hope that has changed since then.

I also could not find a way to activate biometrics for Play Store without also activating biometrics for unlocking the phone. I don't want the phone to easily unlock but if someone has my unlocked phone I am already fucked anyway so I may as well enjoy some convenience.

I mean, it's not a fortress, but it would be nice if a common thief cannot get in there just by stealing both the phone and a glass I was touching. (It was still fingerprints for everything when I switched.)

jkrtn ,

Why would I need redditor data when I could just download top 40s song lyrics and a book of puns?

jkrtn ,

So you need a strawman argument transitioning from loaning a weapon unsupervised to someone we know is depressed. Now it is just target shooting with them, so distancing the loan aspect and adding a presumption of using the item together.

This is a side discussion. You are the one who decided to write strawman arguments relating guns to extension cords, so I thought it was reasonable to respond to that. It seems like you're upset that your argument doesn't make sense under closer inspection and you want to pull the ejection lever to escape. Okay, it's done.

The article is about a civil lawsuit, nobody is going to jail. Nobody is going to be able to take a precedent and sue me, an individual, over sharing articles to friends and family, because the algorithm is a key part of the argument.

jkrtn ,

You're really deluded into thinking you're correct and that your strawmen are good arguments. "If we do anything at all about this, then extension cords will be illegal," really wet sobbing.

"If this civil lawsuit is allowed to proceed then we are already under 1984's Big Brother police state, they are coming for you," wild. Your imagination is a very frightening place. You feel threatened by so many things. Must be hard.

Why would I participate in your side quests? You like writing strawmen, have fun with it on your own.

jkrtn ,

"Vague" "easily exploited" "criminal" all doing a lot of work here, but it's good that you recognize your own words are a slippery slope fallacy surrounded by strawmen.

So frightened. I hope you can get some help and feel better.

jkrtn ,

"Everyone who disagrees with me has 'terabytes of files.'"

  • A guy who like serious and complex discussions
jkrtn ,

Hold up, let's get this straight: you're accusing me of redditor behavior, but this discussion has enraged you so much that you went looking through the comment history for anything you could possibly use as an ad hominem? Sometimes it is absolutely the case that every accusation is a confession.

There's some grass outside, man, check it out.
