The data collected from these tools are used to train models that detect cars and stuff with precise accuracy. Decades of data from millions of users each day. Once these are perfected, they will be sold to smart car users as auto-driving mode and what not. These services are likely going to be subscription based to maximize the profits.

Which instance? We should maintain a list of these instances to ensure we don't lose our data due to idiots like them.

Yesterday, I made a choice that was very tough for me to make. So three years ago, I had a best friend, and we both liked each other. Things got hard because my feelings went too far, I became emotionally unstable and turned into an attention seeker. So because of that, I then ended the friendship.

Recently, she added me back. I thought we could be friends again because I felt like I improved my mental state in the last two years and won't turn into an attention seeker again. Well, a week later, I was the same as I was three years ago.

It was ruining my mental health severely. I couldn't focus on anything. But I still wasn't ready to give up on the friendship because she was a very nice friend, and I still liked her for some reason. So I refused to give up. But things got worse real quick, and then I decided to write a long message to her explaining why I can't continue this friendship and then I blocked her everywhere.

At the cost of ending all probabilities of a future with her, I feel much better now.

Gotta do something about this attention-seeking thing, though.

They said competition, not alternatives. As things are right now, and knowing people, not just trying to make a technical point, Firefox is the only competition.

Hi, I spent some time trying out the dictd package. I also read this protocol's specification. As things are right now, each host-name would require its own parser, because I couldn't notice a very similar pattern between them. Webster, Jargon, wn, all these have their own standardization for including synonyms and examples.

The specification doesn't enforce any pattern on the definitions either. I don't think it's going to be very useful even if I do implement it because the parsers are going to be quite complicated.

Ah that. That shouldn't be a lot of work as all the visual stuff are done by separate functions. I can do it. I will look into it.

I don't think they would make a model like this uncensored.

It was a decent experience, but it had too many features to meet my taste. I like basic things. Their automatic timer detection supports a lot of formats, but it doesn't support something like "in 5 minutes," but it does support "in 5 hours/months/weeks.". Too bad, I frequently forget to do things throughout the day, so I have trained myself to set up quick-to-do tasks to remind myself a few minutes later. But doing it an hour later is asking for too much.

I don't get what's up with people nowadays throwing up the adjective "misogynistic" everywhere, when 80% of the time they're really not seeing something misogynistic, but rather some ideologically conservative crap.

A 502 Bad Gateway Error is a general indicator that there's something wrong with a website's server communication. Which for your case is http://lemmy.world. Basically the instance is struggling so you're getting these errors. Liftoff can't do anything about it other than showing you a more friendly error (which it should).

Making an Android or iPhone app can be a huge can of worms, all thanks to Google and Apple. However, with some basic knowledge of networking, you can easily go through the API documentation of LemmyNet and make some TUI based app for desktop. Python modules can simplify the process. If you will be using Python, there is a wrapper for this API too. See this list for wrappers for other languages. You can do all sorts of things with these wrappers.
