For academical research

“Oh you shaved? You look better that way” and “I didn’t even notice, my attention is always to caught up in your blue hair” is all the comments I’m getting 🙃

I didn’t expect anyone to seriously consider saying “is 5G”, but honestly… I think it’s a good call. Answering uncomfortable questions with jokes is a great life hack, because itself will subspecialty associate the topic with humor and good emotions. Even if someone insults you with malice, if you but them with a good comeback, there’s a chance everyone’s laughing and the malice is retroactively denied (as in them thinking “of I was just joking” as well).

TFW being called out

@dessalines@lemmy.ml being as sharp as always, thank you for sharing this! I somehow missed that essay in the past, and recently even had a discussion where I argued in favor of signal. His overview makes some great points that shouldn’t be dismissed offhandedly. The important point is to not make the mistake of shunning signal in favor of an even less secure alternative. Also the user’s threat model should be taken into account. Those who aren’t anticapitalists (yet) might need to worry less about the concerns.

Hmm, this is a topic that has been debated for years, I guess instead of writing my own summaries, it’s great to link you to some resources, outlining why modern AI (“LLM”/“GPT”) is controversial:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model#Safety
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model#Societal_concerns
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT#Limitations
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop

Note that some issues apply only given certain output (e.g. hallucinations), some depend on the usage (the decision to generate and publicize AI slop is made by human operators), whereas some issues are always present (e.g. huge environmental impact).

Regarding the there being a difference between good and bad AI or not: Some people argue that it’s always bad, some are bit more nuanced, some are competely blind/ignorant to the problem. Only those in the middle camp would necessarily see a difference.

“This game doesn’t look like other games you’ve played in the past” pfft yeah sure, who are you trying to fool? 😘

But what kind of treats should I carry around? 😰 If I’d ever get this chance, I feel like I’d mess it up 😥

Cute girl 😘

Welcome to the club! I’m glad you found out and hope that as a community we can offer support and get updates from your end ❤️

How are your health care options?

It’s also paid as a fee by the store, which in turn means every customer (incl those not using BNPL) is indirectly paying for it.

We shouldn’t go down without a fight, out plan A must be to prevent dystopia. And you are right that asking "what if"s can encourage a feeling of defeatism by distracting from plan A, however it’s generally not bad to think about a plan B ahead of time.

$200/card? What are those, legitimate western numbers?/s You can find “2TB” SD cards on AliExpress/etc for $3. Increasing the capacity to 1PT shouldn’t be much more than a minor change in the firmware.

Is this about The forbidden fourth leche?

Short answer: The automobile lobby prevents it.

I would want to disagree, but I also don’t want you argue about definitions. Hope you’re doing well💛

You can expose your stuff to the internet, that’s not inherently frivolous, but it increases your attack surface. If you use cloudflared, you can tunnel it through cloudflared, which helps not publicly exposing your IP (but your services are still publicly exposed). You might be able to use cloudflared together with gluetun, but I prefer having the reverse proxy and cloudflared outside of the gluetun network.

I haven’t tried any out-of-the-box solution or setup script, so I can’t talk about them. if you go diy or want to edit any solution to have internet access exclusively over VPN (or not at all otherwise), I can recommend gluetun. Other than that, I just have a simple docker compose file and a reverse proxy. I recommend not exposing it to the www, but to keep it only accessible in your local network, or tailscale, if your use case allows it. Note: if you set up https, you might be leaking your subdomains in permanent certificate transparency records.

Understanding what “being trans pre-transition is like” was what cracked the egg for me.

our hero! (Assuming the ratio keeps getting better)

I can’t speak for myself, but I’ve seen some children/young teenagers with ADHD being already too focused on what’s next. Or they go to the toilet with a handheld gaming console or smartphone to begin with, and never diverted their attention except for the bare minimum required when going to the toilet.
