    Probably because they’re trying to sell shit with the assistant rather than the assistant be the product. I swear our echos get worse literally every day. No, I don’t ever want to hear “also” or “did you know” after you answered my question, shut up and stop trying to sell me stuff!

    In a real scenario that coconut is a much better weapon than the stick. Driftwood isn’t strong at all. And in a real scenario there’s absolutely no way you’d be able to enslave someone because you have to sleep at some point, so whomever is the slave will just kill the slaver as soon as they go to sleep.

    Because foss is usually not the easiest option. In fact it’s often quite difficult to maintain. So not only creating foss but then hosting your projects on foss is not tenable. Where does the line get drawn? OK you’re running forgejo. Are you running it on infrastructure that you control? You don’t control the DNS, you don’t control the ISP, you don’t control the fiber, you don’t control most of the stack. Putting something on GitHub is really inconsequential if you’re making your project open source since anyone can use it for anything anyway, so who controls the platform doesn’t matter in the slightest.

    What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

    I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

    I mean not using the native taskbar is a bit further than fixing stuff by using third party software. The taskbar is an integral part of the OS. If you’re switching it out then you’re making significant, deep rooted changes to the OS.

    I mean their mice are terrible too. I went through three of their mice in two years back in like 2016. Been using a Logitech g2 whatever their most famous one is since then and it’s not had a single problem. So much so that I bought two more for my other computer and my wife.

    tyler ,

    When was that? I don’t think I’ve ever viewed them as anything except junk and I had an asus laptop in 2007 or 8.

    tyler ,

    Nothing. It was a work mouse for me, I didn’t even use it for gaming. There’s a reason razer has a terrible reputation.

    Why in the world would you think that’s gpt? That’s not the normal style of gpt and it’s definitely the style of normal corporate sites.

    'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

    I've enjoyed Mark Rober's videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn't sitting right with me...

    I also was not happy about the video.

    This has nothing to do with being a walled platform. All these maintainers of all these lemmy servers would have to do the exact same thing if Nintendo came to them. And if they refused then Nintendo could go to the server host. And if that didn’t work you would end up in court. It has nothing to do with walled gardens and everything to do with Nintendo abusing dmca.

    I used these things in my edc kit. It’s not about the weight, it’s about the space, and they’re really only ever used in emergencies. I wouldn’t say they’re a good product though.

    Man I hated that book so much. This comic is hilarious though.

    tyler ,

    Modern machines don’t display accurate cycle times at all. They use sensors to detect when to finish.

    tyler ,

    Huh? Always on display has been around in iOS for years. Since 2022 with the 14.

    tyler ,

    It’s been around since 2022. Though I actually turned mine mostly off besides the clock because it’s just unnecessary and distracting the majority of the time. And super unhealthy.

    tyler ,

    lol yeah I literally use Spotlight for everything, it’s way faster the majority of the time.

    Oof that’s horrendous. Like the average is still around the same but the consequences are so so much worse

    Generative design isn’t AI. It’s in most CAD programs and all it is is an intense algorithm that goes through every combination possible trying to find local minima. The BBC has no clue what it’s talking about here, it’s not AI. There’s no “asking” it anything.

    tyler ,

    Since when is generative design machine learning? It’s finding local minimus not machine learning.

    How to immediately get your access revoked.

    You can’t money launder with bitcoin. The whole purpose is that everything is traceable.

    tyler ,

    That’s not how it goes. Laundering works because you don’t have to report the sale, you just have to report the income. If you can track the sale then laundering never will work.

    T-Mobile hasn’t done this for years. Att is just shit

    tyler ,

    3g speeds are fine, no clue what you’re talking about. I literally tether all the time and when I hit the limit it’s still completely usable, even for YouTube. And getting to that limit is well above the 5gb from ATT. Like I said, att is shit, T-Mobile doesn’t do this and hasn’t for years.

    Literally every carrier on the planet limits hotspot data in some manner. This isn’t a US thing.

    tyler ,

    50gb is not even close to 5gb and 3g speeds are not even close to 128kbs so no, T-Mobile doesn’t do this.

    tyler ,

    I have T-Mobile, they absolutely don’t.

    tyler ,

    128kbps is referring to the ATT limitation so you’re just proving my point. T-Mobile doesn’t do what att does.

    The goal of the bill was to get something with teeth passed. Fighting every lobby at once would be impossible, so they leave those devices out of it and will now be able to work on different laws for those things. At least that’s what I read they’re doing for the John Deere stuff at least. The legislators know it’s going to be a difficult battle, so they segmented the law to make it so that a failure in one spot wouldn’t cause a loss everywhere.

    tyler ,

    How did you write the title? Though I do think this person needs help, I’m very sorry I’m unable to help.

    Man people really set up the strawmen here. Congress has literally said it’s about foreign influence, not about protecting children. It has absolutely nothing to do with kids. It has to do with China influencing the citizens of the United States to do things that are beneficial to China, against the interests of the US government.

    It’s not a ban, if China gives up control of the app to a United States entity then there’s no problem. It has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children.

    tyler ,

    Yeah they’re clearly here because they think they have no chance of getting manipulated, that they’re better than others, or even that they think this is some sort of free speech thing. Sorry bud, that’s not how it works. The government routinely bans things that cause foreign influence, it’s just usually not at this scale and not something people are addicted to and use as their news.

    Literally Huawei and ZTE are banned from imports and sale in America for the exact same reasons. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/us-fcc-bans-equipment-sales-imports-zte-huawei-over-national-security-risk-2022-11-25/

    Gmail was an experiment for over a decade.

    I’ve had IT bug me about this at my company for the past several updates. For some reason their software never picks up that I’ve updated my machine, maybe because I literally do it only hours after the update has come out. Every single time I’m like “I’ve been on that version since the day it released. They then do something on their side and are like “oh it’s showing up as up to date now, thank you”… smh

    tyler ,

    Thankfully some states in the US have made this illegal, like Colorado.

    Kagi and sealngx figured it out just fine. Turns out if your goal isn’t to show advertisements then it’s not that hard of a problem.

    tyler ,

    Yeah. It’s well past my bedtime. I shouldn’t be online

    tyler ,

    Because they don’t. Neither iOS nor Android require an account.

    Yeah cuz musk is on Russia’s side and Russia is the one flooding the platform with bots. It doesn’t have to be conspiratorial levels of stuff, in another article they literally said it was an automated action due to reports. So Russia bots mass reported, it got removed, then someone at Twitter (probably not musk) reinstated the account after receiving a message about it.

    tyler ,

    That’s a great point. Sorry for insinuating that all of Russia agrees with putins policies.

    I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

    I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

    tyler ,

    Fucking whataboutism. Apple and Microsoft aren’t ad companies. They’re hardware and software companies. They don’t have to collect data on you to literally make any money, Google does. If Google doesn’t track everything you do they’re incapable of making money. The same is absolutely not true for ms and Apple.

    This thread is absolutely terrible. I’m very sorry op. As a software dev, I think I’ve hit the save button maybe ten times in the past 2 years. You are right that it should auto save by default. That’s just required in this day and age. People saying they don’t want auto save because they don’t want cats losing their work literally do not understand how auto save works in the vast majority of modern systems. A simple example is Google sheets, where you can literally see every change made to every character in every file throughout time. You’re not going to lose anything. Software devs solved this in their own tools literally decades ago. My job is literally editing text files all day long. I can’t remember the last time I lost data due to a crash or a cat or anything.

    Some people even mention LaTeX which literally has a solution with Overleaf. If software doesn’t autosave in this day and age, it’s shit software.

    What you have here is another case of Linux users jumping to defend the only things they have to defend, even if it’s absolute shit.

    tyler ,

    Gotta stop the cuddle to do that.
