About 20 years ago I made a script that converts pictures to HTML tables. Back then RAM was a severe problem for this, and even for more powerful hardware browsers tended to just crash on larger pictures.

I checked it again a few years later, and things looked way better. I guess using CSS it'd be rather trivial nowadays to do the same with a short video by just cycling through showing/hiding tables of each frame.

I find this situation rather entertaining. It shows yet again how important it is to educate people on the basics of how LLM work, including how they are being executed - I'm guessing with just a tiny bit more knowledge it'd also have been obvious nonsense to you.

He got purged a few years after the war.

You'll get different results depending on the printer type, though. For example, that kitchen paper would work in a inkjet printer (as in, would get pulled through, but you couldn't read the result), and work perfectly in a dot matrix printer. I know the latter as I used to print, err, learning aids on paper handkerchiefs with my dot matrix printer in the 90s. A few times teachers were suspecting something, in which case I'd just use it to clean my nose, and toss it. Nobody ever was curious enough to continue their investigation afterwards.

Thank you, the search result for that is glorious.

I'll probably need to look into setting up a dead man switch now to let everyone know if I get murdered by disgruntled parents.

Brauchst du Nachhilfe?

Ich bin ITler, unerwartete Sonnenfinsternis oder sowas ist der eher weniger kuriose Teil meines Arbeitstages.

It is a web designers masturbation phantasy - fancy looking, but convoluted and impractical.

Technically the notation with dashes is the non-standard one - the dash form is a GNU addition. A traditional tar on something like Solaris or HP-UX will throw an error if you try the dash notation.

We do have some steep copayments for some treatments as well. For example, if I had to go to the hospital for a month I'd have to pay about 1000 EUR myself.

On the other other hand, it would definitely be inappropriate for her to walk around entirely in the nude, so there's got to be a line somewhere.

Question here is - would that really be inappropriate, or is it also just the way you feel?

Where I'm from it's not seen as a problem to see family members nude - my wife coming from a different culture was a bit surprised when she bumped into my dad on the way to the shower the first time, but got used to it quickly.

Especially around the pool - assuming it is shielded from the street - I wouldn't see any issues about not wearing clothes (and wouldn't bother myself).

The more important part for privacy: Mail address is optional, and IP addresses are not stored in the database. A correctly configured instance (at least for EU legislation) also will not log IP addresses in the web server - with that you can have profiles that can't be tied to an actual human, and you don't have location and movement data.

The data deletion is pretty much a nice to have - it's on the level of the Exchange feature to recall Emails: Sure, you can ask nicely, but outside of your own server pretty much nobody will care. Lemmy is federated over multiple jurisdictions, so even with full deletion implemented there'll almost certainly be instances which will ignore the deletion request - and it will be completely legal for them to do so. More important is education about what you publish, and a basic understanding of the technical and legal realities you'll have to deal with if you later decide you want that information gone.

I already had that discussion with my 6 year old when she wanted to publish some videos - and she understood the problems quite well.
