This is my favorite version of this so far.

By not doing a New Year’s resolution. If you’re going to do something, start now, not in the new year. Leaving it to an arbitrary day when “everyone does something” just gives you an out when you don’t succeed. Just go and do it now. There’s literally no point in waiting and honestly a lot of reasons not to wait.

Skewed priorities like trying to make sure that Firefox continues to exist even with the massive amount of competition in the browser space and everything being taken over by chromium. Yeah. Definitely skewed priorities.

Or it’s because Tesla is like 60% of the market and their quality is absolute shit. https://insideevs.com/news/686440/tesla-60-percent-ev-market-share-new-registrations-2024/

If that’s the first thing you see then maybe you have a problem. It took me a full 20 seconds to see it.

Just so you know, companies already use drones for roof surveys. I work for sunrun and we use them to analyze roofs for solar installations and whether roofs need to be fixed before hand.

Well it sure does sound like advertising won doesn’t it. I completely stopped using Google it is so bad now.

I believe it’s because currents of air rotate in the opposite direction. So to cross the equator the air would have to pass a boundary of global air currents which are going counter to the hurricane’s motion. See this picture for a reference.

Veritasium. As soon as he put out a video with sponsored content where he lied with science I immediately knew he could no longer be trusted. I completely stopped watching his videos that day.

Turns out Lisa has a crippling bug that bricks your computer.

Hey @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com, just so you know, this tool is most likely very illegal to use in the USA. Something that your users should be aware of. I don't really have the energy to go into it now, but I'll post what I told my users in the programming.dev discord:

that is almost definitely against the law in the USA. From what I've read, you have to follow very specific procedures to report CSAM as well as retain the evidence (yes, you actually have to keep the pictures), until the NCMEC tells you you should destroy the data. I've begun the process to sign up programming.dev (yes you actually have to register with the government as an ICS/ESP) and receive a login for reports.

If you operate a website, and knowingly destroy the evidence without reporting it, you can be jailed. It's quite strange, and it's quite a burden on websites. Funnily enough, if you completely ignore your website, so much so that you don't know that you're hosting CSAM then you are completely protected and have no obligation to report (in the USA at least)

Also, that script is likely to get you even more into trouble because you are knowingly transmitting CSAM to 'other systems', like dbzer0's aihorde cluster. that's pretty dang bad...

This article has so many inaccuracies… I haven’t talked with a single person that thinks Reddit shouldn’t charge for api access. And the final comment about being legally obligated to pursue profit is just factually incorrect. https://legislate.ai/blog/does-the-law-require-public-companies-to-maximise-shareholder-value

You can find plenty of other sources just like that one saying the same thing. I’m pretty sick of this myth, because it gives all these companies a bogeyman to hide behind.
