Hangglide,

Why would teleportation necessarily be faster than light?

Hangglide,

Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, “How much will it cost?” Nurse said “I have no way of knowing that.”

I said, “No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost.” She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.

How are we supposed to “let the market sort out the cost” when we can’t see the cost before the bill?

Hangglide,

Why can’t YouTube just render the video on the fly with the relevant add?

Hangglide,

If that is true, then how is it possible for software to determine the difference between a commercial and content? They are streamed from a different source. I’m suggesting that YouTube could encode the commercial in the same stream as content, and as far as the player is concerned, there would be no difference.

Hangglide,

Just don’t drink coffee.

Hangglide,

Are you even tangentially familiar with US history? US citizens have historically been right up there with Nazi level hate. Racism didn’t just go away. It just became illegal to own slaves.

Hangglide,

It will get hot quickly.

Hangglide,

Define slow. I have to wait months or more for an appointment in the US. Is it that slow? Emergency visits take hours, sometimes charging people who wait but don’t get service. Is it that slow?

Hangglide,

So, plus or minus a little, it is similar to the US, but free.

Hangglide,

Diversity is the most stable plan. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Get food from multiple sources.

Where are all the Positive, Wholesome Communities gone, and where are all the hugs, where is my wholesome memes, to help me fight, the politics

Hey, I’ve been looking at what I’m subscribed to on Lemmy and it really grim, and not really what I want from a social media. I’m into tech, but the tech subs talk about evil things companies do, a lot of linux meme and programmer humor, and it’s all cool and all, piracy talking about how it’s bad what certain company...

Hangglide,

All of my subscribed lemmy communities have no new content.

Hangglide,

I participate by commenting. I need to practice being more of an arsehole so I can fit in better here.

Hangglide,

Child support continues until the child is no longer a child (18).

Hangglide,

You can’t fix stupid.

Hangglide,

I actually appreciate cops keeping people to the speed limit. It is much safer for everyone.

Hangglide,

You have a pretty unique definition for the word designed.

Hangglide,

Bullshit. If I learn engineering from a textbook, or a website, and then go on to design a cool new widget that makes millions, the copyright holder of the textbook or website should get zero dollars from me.

It should be no different for an AI.

Hangglide,

How do you know it is purely derivative? Are you saying an AI can’t write a sentence that has never been written before or are you saying that it can’t have an original thought? If it is writing a brand new sentence that is an amalgamation of many other writings how is that violating a copyright (or any differentthan a human doingit)? The copyright claims are absurd.

Hangglide,

How do you get your Samsung phone to update. Mine says it is up-to-date and it’s running 13.

Hangglide,

Update quota? I am seriously regretting samsung instead of pixel.

Hangglide,

That’s great and all, but after you move, how do you get anyone at all to look at it?

Hangglide,

Federation just means it’s confusing to sign up. I don’t care if I am a leech. I just want content and the ability to use my preferred app to get it.

Hangglide,

I am on android, and it isn’t in my app store either.

[HN] Will Browsers Be Required by Law to Stop You from Visiting Infringing Sites? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list....

Hangglide,

What is the French first amendment?

Hangglide,

But the web app spams my browser history with everything I ever touched on Lemmy. I absolutely don’t want that. It is nice to have the app separate from my chrome history.

Hangglide,

Meanwhile, at my government job, we are paying people to live in our government supplied houses because we need people on sight.

Hangglide,

IR blaster in my phone.

Hangglide,

Lima absolutely needs to do this.

Hangglide,

I wanted to hire a guy and then we found a lie on his resume. He said he had graduated but in fact he had a few weeks left to graduate. He would have the degree by the time he started the position. Our agency wouldn’t touch him after that. A lie on the resume was a deal killer.

If he said “Degree expected on <date>” rather than I have a degree he would have the job now.

Why do sites disable pasting in password fields?

It’s 2023, why are websites actively preventing pasting into fields like passwords and credit card number boxes? I use a password manager for security, it’s recommended by my employer to use one, and it even avoids human error like accidentally fat-fingering keys, and best of all with the credit card number I don’t have to...

Hangglide,

Apps like tic-toc can see the text that you are holding in your “copy” cache. If you are copying passwords to log in to your bank or other sensitive site and then later open tic-toc, you just inadvertently gave them your password.

It is generally bad practice to ever “copy” your passwords, even if it is easier.

Hangglide,

In the USA, in a public space, Member B doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on. You have no right to privacy in a public space.

Hangglide,

I have nothing to hide but I still don’t want you watching me poop.

Hangglide,

Which is stupid.

Hangglide,

There is nothing stopping the fediverse from checking with other instances to see if a name is already in use. That would be a pretty cool feature to avoid a whole bunch of duplication.

Hangglide,

This is not right at all. Chicken is white meat. Cows are red meat. What you are talking about are fast vs slow twich muscle fibers; light versus dark meat on a white meat chicken.

Hangglide,

I am looking forward to new apps having the option to show this kind of information.

Hangglide,

That’s good. It might affect his dolphin harvest.

Hangglide,

But Putin said it. It has to be true!

What’s the difference between all those instances?

We have Lemmy.world, Lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, I think even yiffit.net. If I log in using wefwef it asks me where I want to login. And when I make a new account using another instance, it says ”… Lemmy is federated, so you can interact with everything on lemmy.ml even if you’re registered on a different instance.“ So if...

Hangglide,

This “It’s just like email” makes no sense at all to me. My email is nothing like Lemmy. It is the most confusing description I have ever heard.

Hangglide,

I can’t think of how it is even close to the same as email other that both Lemmy and email use the @ symbol.

If I send an email to a friend, no one else can see it. That is a note between him and me. The comparison is perplexing.

Hangglide,

My third party client (Relay) still works over there so I’m still using it until it switches to paid. The developer said he plans to switch to the paid model so he is keeping it running for free now.

Hangglide,

Lemmy can’t handle half my daily limit.

Hangglide,

I think that’s a terrible idea. I came here to get away from reddit. Let’s meet our own content.

Hangglide,

I am new like most of us. When I signed up I had now idea what an instance was. To me the name Lemmy.world sounded like it was more general and therefore would have more content so I picked that one.
