14th_cylon,

so hje as just released from south korean prison and instead of boarding a plane home after he was escorted to the airport, he turned around and decided to “stray” into north korea… that doesn’t really make sense, but it is funny anyway 😆

14th_cylon,

unless that punishment was death penalty, i would still take that over north korea 🤷‍♂️

14th_cylon,

Right now deepfakes doesn’t work well when the face is viewed from extreme angles, so you can ask them to slowly turn their face to the side or up/down as far as they can until the face is not visible.

or, you know, you can just pickup the phone and call them.

14th_cylon,

i am not aware of that, no, but my point is not that the video call itself is suspicious. it is that if you have have a suspicion for whatever reason, normal cell call for a verification is far easier than doing some strange gymnastics the person above suggested (which may or may not work).

14th_cylon,

If you can.actually get people to switch, you should look into simplex chat

14th_cylon,

The biggest advantage(?) Telegram has is that everything is saved server-side

yeah, having all your secret data on a server you know nothing about is massive advantage 😂

14th_cylon,

is this a big joke, or do these really exist?

14th_cylon,

wow. that is lot of wasted time. i totally do approve 😆

14th_cylon,

i didn’t mean it in bad way. i totally get that sometimes money/time is not the only priority.

14th_cylon,
14th_cylon,

and apart from what the others said, if you’d decide to print the code for some reason, printing colored text on black background would be pretty wasteful way to do it

14th_cylon,

poor tree, i hope it is doing well…

14th_cylon,

top level domains .mil vs .ml

so it was a lot of individual typos, not a single big one, but they are appearantly pretty common.

up until now the domain management was outsourced to some commercial company from netherland, which tried to alert US DOD to the problem.

but in near future it is expected the control of the domain to be transferred under the control of local military junta, which can lead to these mails being stored and sold to higher bidder, or some similar fun stuff.

Entirely Automated AI-Powered Balanced News Site* (kbin.social)

For the last few months our team has been working on an entirely automated AI-powered news site. I am excited to announce that v1.0 is finally being released. This version includes full coverage with every article generated from 2 left leaning, 2 right leaning, and 2 neutral sources. We have also added an anonymous commenting...

14th_cylon,

we don’t need “balanced news”, that is fundamentally wrong idea.

when political party A suggests resolution that the earth is flat and B rejects it, the “balanced news” is not “A and B can’t agree on the shape of earth”.

we need trustworthy news and these can’t be generated by ai.

14th_cylon,

the problem is sometime there are no multiple perspectives, some things are just not a matte of opinion, but hard facts. and if you have truth on one side and bullshit on the other, no matter what the sides are, there is no middle road.

we need real reporting done by respectable journalists, not bullshit generated by ai. nothing personal against you, but i really hope this project will be a failure, because it this should have been future, it would be truly dystopian one.

14th_cylon,

The capitalist system doesn’t function without it’s workers, and the corporations don’t want anything disrupting their bottom line, including covid mitigations, which is why you see Right Wing nutjobs telling

good thing we have you, a left wing nutjob, to educate us.

what is your proposed alternative? to stop the word indefinitely? we are already living with a viruses among us and this will be another one. we will do all we can to mitigate the risks, but it will never be zero. c’est la vie.

14th_cylon,

original on the left and another fix on the right…

14th_cylon,

i already explained you once why the original joke is badly crafted. the fact that people repeatedly don’t understand it is the proof of that fact, so you claiming “it is a good joke” in the infinite loop is not really going to change that.

14th_cylon,

it is not matter of opinion, it is objective fact, so… keep disagreeing with reality, if it pleases you.

14th_cylon,

oh come on… drake equation is just pseudoscience written on a piece of napkin. it is not going to be affected at all. it will remain what it is - conjecture unverifiable one way or the other for the next few thousand years (unless vulcans decided to land here tomorrow).

14th_cylon,

feedly

14th_cylon,

so the mental shortcut between two screenshots in your link is not really explained. how does analysing open data equals “shameful help with union busting”?

14th_cylon,

good, but i am afraid they will just find another way to artificially shorten the length of a phone life.

14th_cylon,

yeah, it seems like the big anime corporation who produced that background can’t really make up it’s mind…

14th_cylon, (edited )

it is not true and you have pretty strange definition of “funny”

i take that back, after an explanation, it is hilarious

14th_cylon,

I didn’t double check if those buildings really are Microsoft and Apple

that is not what i meant

doesn’t make the unexpected contrast to Linus Torwalds on his walking desk less funny

ok, that is truly funny.

the problem is that unless you know that the butt you are looking at the third picture is linus’s, it just looks like some “haha, rich companies and poor linux” joke (which can be pretty easily disproved)

14th_cylon,

so, by your definition, the most funny joke in the world is some inside joke between you and your spouse? i don’t think that is how it works ;)

14th_cylon,

regardless of your definition of funny, if you share such inside joke with general public and then wonder why they don’t understand, that is serious lapse in judgement.

same as when you share a joke that is only understandable to those who have already seen it and received explanation or have seen some obscure 8 years old video. that is badly crafted joke.

Personal Justifications for different phone life cycles (kbin.social)

Yesterday, I was reading a thread that asked what's the point of buying a new phone as often as as people do. In the comments there were a variety of answers, but what interested me is that there were a wide variety of answers for how long each person liked to go before upgrading. So I've attempted to come up with justifications...

14th_cylon,

Plus you get to be smug about being green

better than to be smug about being “anti-green” 🤮

14th_cylon,

So we wouldn’t honestly be allowed to know legally without getting that admin in trouble.

i have no idea whether any of the speculations are true or not, but purely theoretically, this is really lame excuse. if you are representing open source community, you shouldn’t be taking meetings where you have to sign nda.

I made a tool that transfers your reddit subscriptions to lemmy (github.com)

One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I’d lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also...

14th_cylon,

because it is not unequivocal mapping and he asks how you deal with the situation where you have 10 possible replacements. do you just sign to all of them?

14th_cylon,

it is far more likely that when the time comes google will buy us government, than the other way around :D

this headline was making rounds in 2011

Apple now has more cash than the U.S. government

according to this, alphabet has over 100b of cashcash reserve. i don’t think they are going bankrupt anytime soon

14th_cylon,

it probably wasn’t very secure network if anyone can join and cause this. so instead of being misogynistic moron, you could spend some more time on improving your security.

14th_cylon,

no, it is misogynistic to draw a picture where she is the incompetent user causing problem and he is the brave security engineer whom she has to beg for forgiveness.

when it is in fact his shitty security that is root of the problem, because users will be users, no matter what gender. so it is the “hero” of this magnum opus who is really the incompetent one. do you understand how laughingly pathetic that is? bragging about your “secure network” when one user with windows can burn it to the ground?

14th_cylon,

that doesn’t change single word in my argument

14th_cylon,

They are allowed to touch computers these days, didn’t you know?

i do know, yes. does that piss you off? because you are investing lot of energy to defend stupid insulting behaviour. you are not really good at it, you are just trying to spin phrases taken out of context 180 degrees around hoping that you will hide the forest amongst the trees, but boy are you trying.

And in this case the offending user appears to be female.

yes, in this case the “offending user” is a woman. it wouldn’t be misogyny otherwise, that just comes from the definition of the word.

OP never said they were male.

that’s what we call understanding context. not a lot of women produces misogynistic attacks on other women.

she has to beg for forgiveness

You made that up, too.

really? so why is the title of the post “i didn’t do anything”? that is something kids would say when they break a neighbour’s window and are afraid of the consequences. does the woman in this case have to be afraid of the consequences from the op of unknown gender who can’t protect his network and brags about it in dumb meme?

or maybe she didn’t really do anything (which is even worse for the network admin’s reputation, because it means it just caught on fire all by itself), but that is really not what the meme template suggests, is it?

oh, and for your future arguments, i suggest using the word woman. “female” just screams butthurt incel little too much ;)

14th_cylon,

i had to unsubscribe from !technews @radiation.party because it is borderline spam.

i am not talking about quality of the posts, lot of these links are quite interesting, but there is so many of them that it just took over my feed and i want to see something else occasionally :D

there should be a feature to subscribe to community but exclude it from feed, or somehow limit it to max x posts per y time or something…

14th_cylon,

basically not liking discovery is "unconstructive"... https://imgur.com/a/KXRCj9v

it is from this thread: https://startrek.website/post/179186

14th_cylon,

and they’re an admin, if not owner of it.

there is a difference between doing moderation for the good of the community and being kid on a powertrip. when person asks “which of the new trek is worth watching” and then the mod starts deleting and banning people saying “x is not good, you are better watching y”, just because the mod is fan of “x”, that is not moderating, that is just shameful.

the mod is not owner of the community, it is the community that creates the content. we literally just had reddit-exit because of that.
