As a professional IT guy, I love to show my users their uptime after they lie to me about how they already rebooted their computer and it still isn’t working right. Yesterday I showed a user her uptime of 152 days which is impressive considering the city she works in has worse average electrical uptime than the state of Texas.

2·9 days agoIt’s the lane assist I believe. If it detected you using the land assist too much, it will send you those alerts. Essentially, you either drive too close to the lines, weave in and out of them too much, your sensors are bad, or your city has bad lines lol. You can turn off lane assist in every Ford I know of. Usually a button on the turn indicator stick. Check your manual though.

43·17 days agoSo like, another open source competitor to LM Studio and OpenWebUI? Roadmap lists Ollama support. Honestly, this is pretty cool. I’m not sure what all the whinging in this thread is about. Are y’all mad because it’s AI related? This is specifically a tool for you to use AI without needing to pay the data centers or the proprietary enterprise AI companies… Self hosting an LLM is exactly what we should be doing with it.

Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit no longer the front page of the internet
42·1 month agoIt was a social norm to call black people the N word for generations… Social norms do not define good or bad behavior. They define what people find acceptable. Socially, the word you wish to be acceptable has made more and more people uncomfortable and has in fact become less and less socially acceptable to use casually. Many words you used to use are weird now. Growing up we used to say “frick” unironically. These days it would be a little strange to toss that in as a filler word. It’s the same concept except for the fact that the word has not become a slur, it’s just been outdated in its use.
Language evolves and words become acceptable and others become unacceptable. It’s the way it goes and is not a sign of sensitivity, instead a positive sign of progression of language. You are fighting against the nature of how language develops.

31·2 months agoIf you’re confused about the down votes, it’s probably the way you worded this thought. Saying it’s a man identifying as a woman, implies you believe they are a man not a woman and are only treating them as a woman because that’s what they want. In reality they are a woman who identifies as a woman.
I think you being downvoted and not getting an explanation as to why might leave you to continue the same line of thinking without correction.
It’s not a bad question to ask how this will affect trans women though. I live in a place where there are a lot of TERF women who might want to take advantage of this service and would be offended to be picked up by a trans woman.

1·2 months agoI don’t feel this way about discord communities I’m in. Maybe you should join smaller discord communities and actually make friends there. Hoping into a small group chat every once in a while to chat and make jokes or plan a dnd session or whatever. Does t need to be more than 10ish people to be enjoyable.
Far and away, business is the primary use case for PCs, education second, art and design art likely third, and gaming (while always growing) is still niche use case for PCs worldwide.
At best, gaming has over taken media consumption as a PC task but I think that has more to do with media becoming primarily, a mobile device activity in the last decade.

Here’s another article from a more well known source saying the opposite is true. That they have no windows 12 release plans for 2026 and instead they’re trying to fix the issues with 11 and reduce the amount of AI is being pushed on the user.




They do control who votes on our behalf though. Citizens vote through a proxy, not directly for any given candidate. And our representatives can technically vote however they want.
