The most generous thing I can think is that facial structure is not a protected class in the US so they’re saying it’s technically okay to descriminate against.

It’s fucking wild. Like, I love Steam, don’t get me wrong, but holy shit just suck less (edit: than other stores do) and charge less (edit: of devs) and you could gobble up a lot of that market share. But none of them do.

Every time I was prompted to use one by plugging my phone in to my computer nothing happened. That was a little over a year ago.

Person: offers you an apple

You: “Personally, I prefer organic, homemade apple pie! Not APPLE SLOP!”

They’re replying to the victim blaming mentality of “if you let them then you have bigger problems” in your comment. Not your point about it being less dangerous than remote execution.

Or, another annoying one, you find a thread, solve it yourself, and can’t post because the thread is locked for whatever dumb reason. You make a new thread and it never gets traffic from search engines. Only the old one. So nobody ever solves the problem because some mod is worried about necroing, oh the horror.

“Robot, parse this statement, ‘this sentence is false’.” The robot explodes because it cannot understand a logical contradiction.

I swear, that’s what this argument sounds like to me. Also, I’m genuinely confused why people don’t think that, if we can simulate randomness with computers in our world with pseudo random number generators, why a higher reality wouldn’t be able to simulate what we view as true randomness with a pseudo random number generator or some other device we cannot even begin to comprehend.

Either this paper is bullshit or they’re talking about some sort of very specific thing that all these articles are blowing out of proportion.

I don’t believe we are in a simulation but I don’t believe this paper disproves it. Just like I don’t believe in god but I don’t believe the question “can god make a rock so big he can’t pick it up?” disproves god.

I’ve taken too many phishing tests. I have lost the power of clicking.

In your defense, it seems like just a link to a repository.

SDF.org has dial-up. And a Lemmy instance. I think it’s lemmy.sdf.org

When I used Reddit I got news from there. If news sites weren’t so fucking atrocious to use I might browse them directly. Plus, it’s not like legitimate news isn’t shared on social media. AP is generally considered pretty unbiased and reliable and they have a TikTok account.

It is, but I know myself and realistically unless I’m forced to learn it in an environment where it’s first class I’m not going to use it on a regular basis.

I feel like if I was forced to use PowerShell I’d fall in love with it and want to use it on Linux. Passing objects between commands instead of text sounds amazing. So many (Linux) shell commands use slightly differently shaped text, it’s annoying. New line separated? Tab separated? Null separated? Comma separated? Multiple fields? JSON? And converting between them all and using different flags to accept different ones is just such a headache.

My wife’s pixel 3 just busted without any warning a few years ago. PLEASE be sure to have backups of your things and passwords. At the time they didn’t remember their password and was only logged in on their phone. We were able to recover through my email but it wasn’t a recovery address so it was really scary.

The worst part is we already had a family password manager they weren’t using, so it was very difficult to not make it seem like an “I told you so” moment, but they’re on it now and have backups and stuff.

But yeah. We took it to some phone repair guy and he tried a bunch of different stuff. The motherboard just failed or something. No way to extract anything. He said it happened a lot with that model (well, he’s only seeing the bad ones but still).

Ew. Please stop talking.

I had to tweak things often in Windows too. Windows pushed a broken update around December 2023 (or 2022, don’t remember) and when I restored from a system image Windows itself made it broke everything worse. Windows isn’t perfectly stable. There’s currently a bug corrupting people’s disks.

I think a huge part of it is that you’re more used to the types of issues you ran into on Windows and knew how to solve them easily enough that they didn’t cause headaches.

Documentation is easier.

For the love of all things good and pure, do not use LLMs to make your documentation.
