I can’t say for sure they were proper research skills but they were some kind of research skills. I’m also not entirely sure what media literacy entails so I’m going to guess that no that was never part of the curriculum at my university.

It’s a wonder that there is anyone still buying Tesla cars.

Depends for how long. Buying a used NAS with a single 1TB drive is probably cheaper over a 10 year period than subscribing to some cloud service for the same duration.

Probably a lot of them. Definitely food distribution though.

Why are images coming from startrek.website often blank? Including the community icon and everyones profile picture if they are on this instance.

The post image should be hosted on imgur as it says, but it still won’t load.

The Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop. I recently bought a rather expensive model of it. Totally worth it though.

It’s a dystopia not a utopia. I think that is the cyberpunk hellscape that is to be expected.

I think they should have focused harder on the campaign rather than the car-centric open world though. They were never going to match the how good GTA does it.

Any way to group communities across difference instances together ?

Lets say I want to ask Lemmitors a question. There might an AskLemmy community at my home server so I can ask there. But there might be a much larger AskLemmy community on a server elsewhere. Is there a way to ensure that people who subscribe to AskLemmy on the other server could also see my post on AskLemmy on my home server ?

I don’t believe this functionality currently exists. It would be cool if moderators of any two communities could agree to link them together so they are effectively merged as one community, but with multiple entry URLs.

Poland Opens GDPR Investigation into ChatGPT and OpenAI amid Mounting Privacy Concerns (www.privateinternetaccess.com)

It’s not surprising that ChatGPT has been accused of breaching the EU’s main privacy law – PIA blog noted that ChatGPT was a privacy disaster waiting to happen back in February. As the first complaint to be taken up by an EU data protection agency, this case will be watched closely by other EU Member States, and around the...

What happens when countries start looking at Lemmy? This place doesn’t really do anything to adhere to GDPR laws.

Well for one thing a user is prevented from deleting their account when banned. I’m pretty sure this can be considered a violation of the law.

Things would only get worse for user privacy if nothing is done and we let tech companies do whatever they want whenever they want.

I’ve never seen someone on Reddit or in real life suggest that capitalism is good or that freedom of speech should protect nazism hate speech. Most people would also hold that very opinion that nobody should ever starve and that they should be protected by some social economic safety net.

I kind of hope I am just immune at this point. I’ll probably get it randomly in a few years when I least expect it.

I think that depends on what you mean by “having it”. Does having any amount of the covid-19 virus flowing through your body automatically mean you have it? Because the amount of the virus you have been exposed to is an important factor in whether or not you are impacted by it. Also if you aren’t impacted at all, but had what basically amounts to a microdose of the virus did you have covid?

It would be good to know what the medical definition is for this. I don’t actually know personally.

Do we ever hear of anything from the Gamma quadrant in any of the Star Trek series?

IzzyData,
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

I was doing a little searching and found something about “The Dominion Wars” which is supposedly mentioned at some point in Deep Space Nine. I only watched a little bit of DS9, but I do remember that wormhole that I think went to the Gamma quadrant. I should really watch all of DS9.

I should really switch over to Linux full time. I basically have no uses cases that require Windows anymore. Not that this activation patch tipped me over the edge or anything. Microsoft is allowed to fix bugs in their software.

IzzyData,
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve managed to never pay for Windows my whole life despite using legitimate copies since Windows XP. I guess I probably paid for XP through the hardware OEM, but I got Vista from University and then Win 7 and Microsoft has somehow let me upgrade that version all the way to Win 11. 😅

But if I ever actually had to pay for it I’d likely just switch to Linux forever.

Isn’t it more like a request? They don’t have to oblige.

How long did you have to wait before retaking your drivers test?

Im pretty confident in driving abilities for taking the test this week with nearly two months of driving with someone else. My only real issue with taking my drivers test is that its my understanding sometimes DMVs have a secret everyone fails once policy, or some instructors do. I’m mainly wondering on average in the US low...

IzzyData,
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

They will give nearly anyone a drivers license here. It doesn’t help that it is the de facto form of identification which is another ridiculous matter.

I think it would make more sense to me if instead of him turning around talking to who knows who it was an internal thought bubble.

I assume by baths you also mean showers. I think almost everyone I’ve ever met including myself would limit to once per day unless they specifically get dirty or sweaty from exercise.

In the US the difference would be shampooing the hair and using soap on your body compared to just rinsing with water.

I played it originally upon release and my biggest problem with the game was that none of the RPG elements mattered. It also felt more like a linear campaign with various irrelevant side missions.

Is it still pretty much the same in that regard?

I think learning a language. Specifically Chinese as it is the language with the most native speakers on the planet. There is nothing really stopping me from doing this so I don’t know what kind of magic would help me focus on this task.

IzzyData,
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

Yea. The question is completely absurd. There is no such thing as “reasonable ads”. It is also completely against the philosophy of the project and the developers would never agree to it.

You may as well just browse Reddit at that point.

IzzyData,
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

No, this is rewarding the implementation of ads and can’t be thought of as donating anymore. You are paying to remove ads thus giving them money for having added ads to the site.

IzzyData,
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

There are no ads I want to see. If I am looking to make a purchase I will specifically seek it out. There is no advertising for anything I want that is acceptable.

Implementing ads is more against the philosophy of free and open source software than it is with Lemmy or any piece of FOSS software specifically. As for Lemmy we just won’t see any ads on Lemmy.ml in particular which is run by the Lemmy developers. It’s also not entirely true that there is nothing to lose by just cutting off the Lemmy instance that starts implementing ads if people start getting to attached to specific communities or user accounts of theirs. It would be nice if Lemmy had some kind of community and user migration to mitigate this risk.

IzzyData, (edited )
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

I agree there is nothing stopping someone from starting an instance with ads. It’s just that the overlap of people that agree with such a thing and are enthusiasts of free and open source software must be very niche.

I’m also not suggesting the devs could or should do anything about it. I’m just saying it isn’t something they would do. It would be worth determining which license is being used, but I doubt it is one that prohibits commercialization of Lemmy.

At any rate I don’t think such an instance would survive as the type of user that would agree with both ads and Foss is limited. It is unlikely to ever become a real issue.

IzzyData,
@IzzyData@lemmy.ml avatar

Then our goals are fundamentally at odds. My hope for the future is the minimization or elimination of the ad driven internet. I’d rather see Lemmy die than succumb to ads and commercialization.

In 50 years from now maybe we will have found a better way. Perhaps instead of leaving the idea of social media and the Internets “public square” to corporations we could fund it in a more socialized way and have it be some kind of tax expense. I don’t want to see companies profiting off the simple act of communicating online forever. Maybe in the past it was novel enough to be a real technological hurdle that could only be done with privatized companies, but at some point I think it should be more like a public utility.

Are they really starting to put 1tb of storage in phones? I still see phones with 64gb on the market. 😔

My childhood originally consisted of the SNES and N64, but I mostly remember things from the N64. I don’t recall a lot of true horror games for the platform. There was Resident Evil 2, but the scariest things I remember were specific areas of Ocarina of Time such as the shadow temple or beneath the well.

It just pulled in the first frame of the video on the website. The reason Bill Gates is in this video is because of a famous anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft that can be thought of as an equivalent of this one against Google.
