Eh, dislike this because outlets make claims about the future all the time based on what they think is most probable. I don't think that's lying in general. I would be more swayed that this is lying if they actually thought it was plausible that Trump would do this, and denied it.

humanity knows this. That's why I said heuristic. There's not enough time to figure everything out by ourselves, that's why we operate well as a team.

That's what I'm gunning for yeah, but it's probably not long enough.

It may not be jounalism, but how do we know it's Bad Faith

"Lied" means intentionally deceived. I don't know anything about this outlet, but what reason do we have to believe they lied? Perhaps they were themselves deceived.

Edit: people be downvoting me just because I'm ignorant and asking in good faith. We have to fix this culture on lemmy where all questions are assumed to be "just-asking-questions" style trolling.

It's only misogynistic if you have a different standard for men.

I don't see how what you said is inconsistent with me saying "self" is special in lua. Note that I did not say it's a keyword.

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Lua might have been a better choice, since self is special in lua.

I changed the title from "Spying" to "Eavesdropping" because the article actually directly supports that it is "spying" on you, just not listening.

They're very portable, so you can carry them around with you in case you come up with an idea of something to write on your Tesla while you're out and about. They stick to the surface quite well and don't wash off in the rain.

(Please try not to succumb to the temptation to write "F**k off Nazi Scum" or similar on somebody else's though like other people are suggesting. That might encourage people not to buy Teslas, which is a shame, because they're great American cars.)

Just wanted to prove that political diversity ain't dead. Remember, don't downvote for disagreements.

The experience seemed roughly on par with trying to advise a mediocre, but not completely incompetent, graduate student. However, this was an improvement over previous models, whose capability was closer to an actually incompetent graduate student. It may only take one or two further iterations of improved capability (and integration with other tools, such as computer algebra packages and proof assistants) until the level of "competent graduate student" is reached, at which point I could see this tool being of significant use in research level tasks.

What do y'all guys use for cloud storage, like DropBox, Google Drive, and so on? Ideally something which works even when offline.

I'd like to de-google of course.

I was once a privacy nut. But it's getting so hard nowadays, and there are so many more important problems -- global warming, AI, the inevitable collapse of the current world order... how does privacy improve the world? Please help remind me.

I do approve of privacy, of course. All this protect-the-children flak is bullshit. I just can't remember why I thought it was something worth fighting for and preaching about.

Please call it Twitter in the title unless there's a good reason not to. I thought this was Xorg.

In a poll on hexbear (see link), it was observed that there are very few cis women on Lemmy. I think this is the intersection of several problems:

  • engagement of women on Reddit was always low
  • fewer women in computer science
  • I'm hesitant to recommend anything fediversy to people who don't tinker with computers like I do and thus might need a more handholdy UX.

I gather that transgender people tend to be more into CS, though I don't see why that explains entirely such an astonishing presence of the transgender community on Hexbear.

Anyway, I just thought I'd open the floor to brainstorming.

I laugh because this is funny but then I think, oh god what if she's serious and now there's going to be a twitter campaign to remove satanic language in tech.

Safety tips:

  • Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren't safe
  • Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don't have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all)
  • Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the duration of the eclipse at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on.
  • When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.

Reminder that poor Gary Bowser was jailed for a year and owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He uses a wheelchair and has two kids.

It would be morally wrong to pirate all future Nintendo titles and pay the cover price to Gary's gofundme. Please don't do that.
