I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
Assuming that there isn’t a better extension out there for people to switch to, this move might push some people into quitting Facebook completely.
If you’re using uBlock origin, then you won’t see ads anywhere else. Meanwhile on Facebook, every few posts will be an ad.

That already fell apart, they gave up after the site got overrun with bots. Coincidentally, they were planning to use “AI” to run parts of the site, including moderation
To be fair, I haven’t used Chromecast in a long time. Maybe even 10 years ago now.
I remember having connectivity issues, where I’d go to pause the content and realize it disconnected again. So maybe the battery drain was because of poor connections, or poorly designed apps
Its nice to be able to use it with a remote instead of fumbling around with your phone.
Also performance, decoding support, not burning your phone’s battery, etc
No ads, better performance, customizable
I also tried Projectivy in the past but I don’t remember why I switched away from it. I think there was a performance bug that was causing it to crash. Both may be good options now
Thanks, I didn’t know about them before today and this is probably why
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hail_cannon
There is no evidence in favor of the effectiveness of these devices. A 2006 review by Jon Wieringa and Iwan Holleman in the journal Meteorologische Zeitschrift summarized a variety of negative and inconclusive scientific measurements, concluding “the use of cannons or explosive rockets is a waste of money and effort”.[7]
There is also reason to doubt the efficacy of hail cannons from a theoretical perspective.[8] For example, thunder is a much more powerful sonic wave, and is usually found in the same storms that generate hail, yet it does not seem to disturb the growth of hailstones. Similarly, hail cannons are placed at ground level, while hail formation occurs at altitudes above 10,000 meters; a device with an effective range of 500 meters, above, would be unlikely to have an impact at an elevation 20 times higher.[9][10][11] Charles Knight, a cloud physicist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, said in a July 10, 2008, newspaper article that “I don’t find anyone in the scientific community who would validate hail cannons, but there are believers in all sorts of things. It would be very hard to prove they don’t work, weather being as unpredictable as it is.”
This is in line with how a lot of large open source projects are dealing with it
I agree with the point you are making, that this study shows that there is a risk of people using these systems to generate biological weapons.
However, in this particular study, they created bacteriophages. Those are viruses that attack bacteria, and the focus of that research is usually around creating antibiotic treatments (fight bacterial infections with viruses that kill them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage
No problem!
That’s the one I forgot to check 🤦 I looked in !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
Thanks!
Check out lemmyverse.net to find communities. If you set your home instance (top right, button with a home icon, enter slrpnk.net in your case), then it will open the page where you can subscribe directly. There’s a longer guide here with more tips: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities
If you aren’t sure what you want to subscribe to, there is a list pinned on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca @blaze@piefed.zip had an amazing list of non-politics communities that unfortunately I can’t seem to find right now.
Once Lemmy releases the big v1 update, both Lemmy and Piefed will have multi-communities that you can subscribe to in order to get a lot of similar content.
As for your requests specifically, check out these. Some are more relevant than others, and the small ones grow as interested people post to them:
Added more context to the title
What’s idiotic is that OpenAI broke the law, got caught, and was successful enough in turning it into a marketing stunt (aimed at investors) that other companies want to do it too.
With this precedent, all you need to do in order to get away with hacking is to change your user agent to something an AI agent uses. /s
I don’t think that’s what the user is asking for though. I read it as wishing that the games didn’t have those security requirements, so that they could play the games on Linux.
The joke in the meme isn’t “thank you to Linux maintainers for not compromising security”, its a joke about those games themselves.
Also their point about toxicity is valid, and I’ve found that it varies by distro. Without being specific, in case I just had a bad experience, some support communities were very hostile to users asking questions. If the new person didn’t phrase their question perfectly, using all the correct terminology, the support person refused to answer the question. It was a thread of “You said X, but X actually means Y, so I don’t understand your question. Did you mean Z”, when it is obvious from context what they meant.
User experience wise, Canvas > Moodle easily
I didn’t know Canvas was open source, that’s cool
I think it comes down to
ETFs are generally better, especially if you don’t touch them for a long time.
Winters’ lawyers alleged the platform “repeatedly and insistently misdiagnosed” him while drawing on previous discussions about religion to assure him he would recover.
I forgot that it “learns” now, I haven’t tried it in a long while 🤦
I haven’t tried any myself yet, but I’ve heard that watches have a hard time reading the data compared to bands that go around your arm or chest, or even the rings. I don’t think I’d enjoy wearing a ring while sleeping though
I think people are tired of these headlines because we’ve seen the same thing for many companies, without lasting consequences. It’s even worse for elon musk related stocks, because of how much manipulation those ones go through.
I don’t have a source, so take it with a grain of salt, but I vaguely remember a discussion that one of his companies couldn’t remove him because the stock was artificially inflated by his presence. It might have been tesla
Just keep subscribing to things :)
We have this guide for how to do that more easily:
