Lmaydev,

Obviously a giant cock and balls. Start simple and add details as you go.

Lmaydev,

Exactly why therapy is so useful.

I could never tell my family and friends part of me hated them because their love guilted me into not killing myself.

Lmaydev,

That’s really not how therapy works.

Lmaydev,

Only if they think you’re an immediate threat to yourself or others.

I talked about suicide a lot in therapy.

Lmaydev,

I thought it was about them forcing apps to use their payment system.

Since many apps require Google services to function on android they are using that fact to get a cut of all payments.

Lmaydev,

A huge amount of apps that an average user needs are on the playstore and require the services.

Google leverage that to force apps to use their pay services.

Google is using an unrelated thing to force the use of their pay services. Hence monopoly.

It doesn’t matter if a tiny percentage don’t do that. The vast majority need to.

Next Samsung Galaxy Buds to have on-device AI for language translation (www.sammobile.com)

It reportedly has the capability to translate languages in real-time during voice calls, video calls, and face-to-face. The feature is said to be better than language translation on Google’s Pixel Buds as the former doesn’t require an active internet connection.

Lmaydev,

AIs are way better at it.

Lmaydev,

Because 90+% of people don’t know what fdroid is and can’t get many of the apps they need there.

Lmaydev,

That is a false equivalency.

The trains cost money to run so you are using resources you haven’t paid for.

Pirating takes away a possible purchase. You haven’t actually used any of their resources or cost them anything.

If I wasn’t going to buy it anyway they haven’t lost anything.

If you streamed it from their servers for free using an exploit that would be stealing, as you’ve actually cost them resources.

Lmaydev,

They’ve actually found that trans individuals have brain structures that match their identity rather than their sex at birth.

So while the way genders are supposed to act is a social construct, gender is very much biological as well.

The truth is at this stage we don’t fully understand it.

Lmaydev,

…m.wikipedia.org/…/Causes_of_gender_incongruence

Lmaydev,

It does back up my claim we’ve found evidence of it in trans people. I also explicitly said we don’t understand it yet.

Lmaydev,

You’ve likely tried this but restart the device. When I switched like this it did a lot of random stuff before I restarted it.

Lmaydev,

It is very intelligent though.

It’s not simple to come up with coherent statements on such a wide variety of tasks.

It’s not just stringing random words together like predictive text. It understands context in a way that is very complex.

It is more knowledgeable than the average person by a huge amount.

For example I asked it to write songs about squidmas, an imaginary holiday I made up to irritate my children. It was able to rewrite Christmas songs but with a squid theme. That’s way more complex than predictive text.

Lmaydev,

You could say it’s artificially intelligent haha

Lmaydev,

Given it’s an artificial intelligence it stands to reason its understanding and knowledge are artificial.

I don’t think there’s any relevance pointing that out anymore. No one thinks it’s conscious or a general AI.

I also don’t see how it’s massively different to our ability to parse and output text tbh.

What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?

I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.

Lmaydev,

Not procrastinating and not unhealthy.

Valve needs to step up on Anti-Cheat

So yeah, I want to discuss or point out why I think Valve needs to fix Anti-Cheat issues. They have VAC but apparently its doing jackshit, be it Counter Strike 2 (any previous iterations) or something like Hunt: Showdown the prevalence of cheating players is non deniable. For me personally it has come to a point that I am not...

Lmaydev,

We went through this in RuneScape with auto miners. You just randomise locations and times slightly and it’s almost impossible to tell the difference.

It’s so easy to get around.

Lmaydev,

We don’t tip people for just doing their jobs.

Lmaydev,

You seem fun hehe

Lmaydev,

None. I bookmark stuff if I need to come back.

Lmaydev,

Yeah but my bookmarks likely massively outweigh your tabs haha

Lmaydev,

Pretty sure he’s just an idiot who had lots of money and believes his own hype.

Lmaydev,

Phones are the primary gaming system for many people.

You pretty much need a phone nowadays. So for people who can’t afford to drop money on a console it makes total sense.

Chances are you are also older and not the primary audience anymore.

Lmaydev,

Depends how time has progressed for them I guess

Lmaydev,

I still play warcraft 3 (non shitified version), StarCraft 2, diablo and the diablo2 remaster.

But yeah all their modern stuff is balls.

Hoping Microsoft will use the IP better.

Lmaydev,

Many Jews see a lack of empathy for the Israelis killed during the early morning massacre and for the relatives of the hostages - about 30 of whom are children - who are suspended in an agonising limbo.

This isn’t true in my experience. Pretty much everyone thinks it was an absolutely disgusting act. I haven’t really seen anyone defend or justify it.

Saying Israel has gone too far in retaliation against civilians is not defending hamas in any way.

Both of these acts are awful.

Lmaydev,

I used to use the same software I use as a developer for planning things. It’s was massively helpful.

Lmaydev,

It’s not sarcasm though.

Lmaydev,

It is by definition not sarcasm. So it doesn’t need a /s

Sarcasm usually involves saying the opposite of what you really mean. But it’s hard to infer from text so you add the /s so people don’t downvote because they think you are serious.

I.e. the OC is soo sarcastic /s or Trump is a once in a generation genius!! /s

Lmaydev,

the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

No.

Lmaydev,

On average they emit around half the carbon they absorb so this wouldn’t explain that fact.

It’s almost definitely false.

if i make static qr codes, no one can redirect them later right?

ive just heard of an incident where students redirected their books codes to p**n. can i make sure that doesnt happen? also, im using google to generate them, is there a foss alternative as im scared of tracking. lastly, can i make the qr code redirect to a specific page of a pdf as i want people to be able to scan them and...

Lmaydev,

The word porn doesn’t make it nsfw

Lmaydev,

This is a joke people, chill.

Lmaydev,

No that’s the point. If you are not insecure and trust your partner then you know it’s just acting.

Lmaydev,

There are plenty of people who are completely comfortable with their partners being strippers or porn stars. It’s just their work at the end of the day.

I’m sure plenty of people don’t really feel anything about it.

Lmaydev,

You are in fact the only person that can control your emotions.

Lmaydev,

Seven kingdoms. Late 90s RTS. I still play it and absolutely love it. It got overshadowed by C&C massively.

Lmaydev,

The original is free and open source and has been upgraded if you prefer it

7kfans.com

I still play this one. Just love it.

Lmaydev,

They forked it when it was announced they were going to shut it down. Not sure what the issue with that is.

Lmaydev,

I use Edge at work and it’s a really decent browser. It’s not Internet Explorer it’s basically Chrome with different tracking software lol

Obviously I use Firefox personally. But it’s actually decent.

Lmaydev,

I doubt most people use an adblocker.

Anyone who’s aware of these issues or cares about them really should have been smart enough to switch to Firefox a long time ago.

Lmaydev,

I wouldn’t personally call 42% that high and by definition not most.

Lmaydev,

I think it’s more that they know most people won’t bother if they make it difficult.

Lmaydev,

Not for long 😞

Lmaydev,

Roughly 60% of people use chrome so I’m sure there is a big cross over.

But I feel if people really cared they wouldn’t use chrome to begin with.

Time will tell.

Lmaydev,

I think they’re taking aim at people who use an adblocker because it’s simple and won’t bother if they make it harder than installing an extension.

Lmaydev,

I just avoid shorts or reels or whatever personally. They’re short and engaging making it easy to lose track of time.

But yeah you’re 100% right my parents (late 50s) have started doing it a lot. I’ve noticed a lot of teenagers do as well.
