Package manager choice is pretty important, and for that I always recommend debian-based for a pc for a new Linux user. APT is just so good.

It always seems like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with console gaming

Who needs credit cards when I’m rich enough to build an above-ground bulletproof bunker powered by supercooled 5-tesla magnets

Could I theoretically make my home immune to guns by surrounding it with kevlar-coated MRIs

Medical device manufacturers also threatened iFixit because it posted ventilator repair manuals on its website.

What the fuck is wrong with people. Anyone who opposes the right to repair for MEDICAL DEVICES is irredeemable.

Time to set my VPN to California

Why

If reddit hadn’t locked their API behind absurd paywalls, it would have been a cool project to try to make a browser plugin that gives accounts a “credit score” based on the factors you’ve been looking at, in order to let users quickly judge how likely an account is a bot.

It could let people adjust the metrics it uses to calculate that score in the settings, so even if it becomes popular enough for bots to start trying to game the system, people can adapt their scoring metrics themselves and share config profiles that they think are more effective at rating bots.

Might be something cool to see for activitypub/fediverse/lemmy accounts, but with the data available varying by instance it might be a little harder to calibrate a “catch-all” scoring config

Lower inflammation, except for people with pollen allergies for the species of trees around them

But wasn’t he just claiming a few weeks back that Kamala Harris wasnt black enough?

Sure Donny. Their rhetoric is of violence and intolerance for their fellow man. Right.

I really only need like 2 or 3 mm of extra nail on one thumb to open oranges and grapefruits perfectly fine. Anything longer than that and it becomes unwieldy and unhygienic.

I accept that people sometimes keep their nails long. That acceptance comes with a caveat that I will not be eating anything handled by hands with long nails.

If chat GPT were anywhere as advanced as Data I would 100% accept him as a coworker. The problem with LLMs isn’t that they’re not people, the problem is that they lack any sense of logic and abstract reasoning, relying on heuristic analysis to cover that weakness. As a result, they’re quite frequently wrong, and don’t have a way to know when they might be wrong, leading to them presenting every answer with the same level of confidence.

I didn’t know about that and yet I still knew something was off when I saw the pic

I have a feeling USB drives will be readable for a long time to come, considering that we still use the standard almoat everywhere, nearly 28 years after its introduction.

That said, copying the data from old archives into new formats is always a good idea

Edit: I was envisioning actual external hard disk or solid state drives accessible using a USB connection. Thumb drives and other ultra-portable data formats are notorious for poor data integrity over time.

Hopefully this puts LSD on a path to being easier to research and potentially becoming part of an approved therapy for certain conditions.

Really pushing HIPAA with this one, but with good cause
