Imagine an AI llm combined with an OS file search. Like “two years ago I was playing Skyrim and I installed a lot of mods, and I think one of them turned all the dragons into Kirby. Where was the installer for that mod?”
And then your computer is like “I gotcha bro, here’s the installer right here.”
That’d be pretty cool. But then again it’d probably also go “I’ll go ahead and install it for you. And hey, while I’m at it I know you’re gonna love this ad tracking program that paid M$ a few million dollars for your info, so Imma install that too. If you’d rather not install it, feel free to find your files and run the installer yourself”
Wasn’t there a study that found if you tell people you’re working on something, you get the same brain reward chemicals as if you actually did it and told everyone? So if you tell people before you’re done, you might just go “meh, I’m good, the rest sounds hard”. Or something like that.
there’s a popular free image editing program called GIMP (judging by the post id assume it’s probably also open-source). Anyways, if you Google “GIMP” you’ll probably see a lot of pictures of leather.
Yeah, the first one was a masterpiece in timing, and balance between story/action/comedy. This second one was great, I really enjoyed it, but the action scenes and the story development scenes both dragged on a little too long. Like did they need to have the meeting with the school councilor? I feel like they already covered a lot of those same points in his Dad’s party.
There were a lot of laughs, but the laugh-per-minute ratio was lower mostly I think because the movie was longer.
Anyways, still very very enjoyable, but yeah I totally agree the first one is superior
Yelp has started publicly naming and shaming businesses that pay for reviews. The review site's new index documents businesses offering everything from a crisp $100 bill for leaving the best review to a $400 Home Depot gift card for a five-star review. It also lists every business whose reviews have ever been suspected of...
Do they also notify users that they are the largest score manipulator by far of their data? And that they do so to bully small businesses to pay up or they will ruin them?
Keep giving them 1 penny and then tracking them down. Do this for most of your life until you are pretty young, and kidnap them. Then you can just relive your life over and over as many times as you want. I mean, sure, it’s not the ethical way to use their power…

You’re alluding to leg atrophy from wheel chair use, but could you go ahead and explain how you believe not wearing a bra would be less detrimental to your tits?
(I don’t disagree where you say it’s bad for your posture, and I’m not even sure I disagree with you saying it’s bad for your tits, which is why I’m asking for a clearer explanation. Maybe I just don’t understand what you mean by “detrimental”)
Right now there is a bit left to be desired when it comes to lemmys accessibility features, but it’s a good idea to be mindful of the fact the fediverse and its platforms tends to have pretty universal accessibility features that will likely come to lemmy sooner rather than later
I’ll try to do this, but man it’d be great if there was an AI program that could auto caption/describe pictures as I post them. Or maybe just one that could interpret and describe everything on the screen, for a visually impared user.
Rapid reductions in fossil fuel production and use are essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. Our new research shows most of the world's major coal, oil and gas companies are yet to make meaningful reductions.
You know the type, probably a good father or worker, but serious faced all the time, never smiles, often in a bad mood, very cynical. It’s just I feel like I’m on the path to this, I’m 28, just escaped 12 years of food service so I’m already super cynical and if someone comes up to me, I’m super ready to shut down...
I think one thing you can do is just practice smiling. Smiling sends you good brain chemicals, even if you’re not happy. Maybe those other guys joke and laugh with each other, but not you, because when they see your serious face, they think you don’t want to interact with them. If you smile when you overhear their jokes, they may rope you in. And people just like seeing someone smile. (Generally. If people start looking worried and edging away from you slowly, maybe dial it back a little.)
One other thing I think of as a hallmark of crotchety people is reacting to any development pragmatically or even pessimistically. A lot of things that happen in life could be interpreted in multiple ways, and you can try to focus on the positive sides of things. Boss asks you to do extra work? Maybe it’s an opportunity to impress them, or develop a new skill. Car won’t start? Well, it IS nice out, and it feels good to go for a walk. I know that isn’t always easy to do, often times a thing happens that is just crappy. But try to practice it whenever you get a chance, until it becomes a habit.
Additionally, since that’s not always reliable, make a habit at the end of the day to think of and say out loud 3 things that happened that you were grateful for that day. They can be big broad things like “I’m glad I’m healthy” or even “I’m glad my back didn’t hurt like usual” or really specific like “I’m glad Tony said he’d cover my shift at work, he didn’t have to do that.”

(I’m going to assume you just misremembered some details, but it’s possible this joke was recycled a few times. This is the only version I know about.)
I saw a post about this on a conservative site, and they all took offense to the implication that he “needed to be stopped”. And no one even mentioned the ‘coronation’ part.
I’d go with “Hey, it’s God. I actually AM real, but I’m heading out. You guys are on your own from now on, no more afterlife or anything. So be good to each other! Alright, I’m out. (oh, and just some advice? you might want to get ahead of this climate change thing)”
Yeah, I was hoping the wording of my message would make people give up religious malarkey, but you’re probably right. Even being told “don’t use religion to be a jerk” wouldn’t stop people from doing it.
Ahh, but if I die of starvation, I can’t very well make people happy, now can I? Assuming everyone followed the thought’s direction, the way to best make people happy is for me to live a healthy and long life, probably. (Of course, it’d be up to each individual to determine how to best make other people happy)
I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now.

Sorry, you forgot to disparage a group of people this time, so we actually can’t play a card. But don’t let that stop you from believing that everyone who disagrees with you is a brainwashed sheep or whatever you tell yourself. CERTAINLY don’t start to wonder what if everyone disagreeing with you might actually just be because your opinions are dumb, that’s a dark road to go down! 😂
The author does a good job explaining how join diagrams are more accurate than venn diagrams, but by saying that venn diagrams are bad and wrong, I feel like they completely miss the point. The venn diagrams can be understood almost instantly, whereas the join diagrams take time and thought to take in.
If someone was brand new to sql joins, sure maybe I would say a join diagram is better for them, so they can really understand what is happening. But for someone who just wants a refresher on join types they rarely use, I think the venn diagrams win. I guess ultimately I don’t like the claim that one type of diagram is simply “better”.
The whole idea is a privacy minefield, so it would have to be very carefully designed and implemented, of course making it opt-in. But still, should we even pursue this idea?...
Okay, I know at this point I’m not going to change your mind, but since I can’t rule out that you truly don’t understand how my basketball analogy relates to the Twitter action, here’s my best attempt at an explanation
In Twitter’s actions:
Ownership: Twitter owns the platform and has control over usernames, similar to how the person with the basketball owns the ball in the game.
Unfair action: Twitter took over a specific username without any prior warning or valid reason. This can be seen as an unfair move, as it disregards the user who previously claimed the username.
Moral implication: Just because twitter has the technical power and legal authority to control usernames doesn’t necessarily mean it is morally acceptable to take away a username from someone else arbitrarily. It’s a dick move because it shows a lack of consideration for the user who may have had an attachment to that username.
In the basketball analogy:
Ownership: The person who brought the basketball to the game owns the ball, just like Twitter owns the platform.
Unfair action: If the person who owns the ball suddenly decides to cancel the game and leave when their team is losing, it would be seen as an unfair and unsportsmanlike action.
Moral implication: Although the person has the right to take their ball and leave since they own it, doing so without warning and when their team is losing disregards the other players’ interests and ruins the fun for everyone else. It shows a lack of consideration for the fairness and enjoyment of the participants.
In both cases, the common thread is the concept of fairness and respect for others. Just because someone owns something (be a basketball or Twitter) doesn’t give them a free pass to act in an insensitive or inconsiderate manner. In a moral context, it’s important to consider the impact of one’s actions on others and to treat them with fairness and empathy, even if you have the right to do otherwise. Both situations address the significance of ethical behavior and being mindful of how our actions affect others, even when we have certain ownership rights.
