Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.zip•UK | Government must stop children using VPNs to dodge age checks on porn sites, commissioner demandsEnglish1·15 hours agoCheeky Proton VPN ad midway through the article.
Only when I can’t be arsed to deal with the backslash.
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.zip•A massive Wyoming data center will soon use 5x more power than the state's human occupants - but no one knows who is using itEnglish5·15 hours agobecause the future occupant of the data center has not been named.
It’s not thay “no one knows” but that information simply haven’t been disclosed.
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.world•Coding students whose jobs were taken by AI forced to find work at ChipotleEnglish5·15 hours agoAI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.
When people make claims about what “AI” is going to do in the future they’re talking about Artificial General Intelligence - not Large Language Models.
It cost me like 100€ to start mine.

Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.world•If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then?English2·1 day agoOr more likely it was a shitty job that shouldn’t have been done by a human in the first place.
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you not feel lazy at your wfh job?4·2 days agoI used to think my dream job would be building custom furniture in my own workshop at home, but now that a small part of my work actually involves making custom pieces, I’ve learned it’s not my dream job after all. I’m far more productive when I have a set time and place to show up - otherwise I’ll procrastinate until noon and end up working through the whole evening.
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL you shouldn't bring camouflage on a cruise.English8·1 day agoIn my experience you don’t even need camo to blend in. I’m a self-proclaimed military autist and my entire wardrobe is earth tones. That alone is enough to startle people on the trails when they’re not looking ahead and I suddenly appear in front of them on my bike. Camo obviously helps, but it’s not about perfectly blending in - it’s about not standing out. When I spot people in the woods it’s always because of a pale face or hands, or some brightly colored or white piece of clothing. Black stands out a lot too, but anything gray, brown, or green usually disappears into the background unless you’re staring right at it.
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A handful of people are slowly killing over 8 billion people, but we're expected to sit idly by and let it happen2·2 days agoBecause of climate change? That’s not even on the ballpark when it comes to the worst case scenario estimates of the excess deaths because of it. No wonder young people are so stressed out…
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt?2·2 days agoIs it not debt when you owe money to the bank?
stainless hose clamp
That’s exactly what I was about to do
I didn’t actually mean to remove that piece. The bolts and nuts had rusted away, and it fell off while I was hammering the old exhaust loose. I had to cut the remaining bolt shafts from the DPF flange and drill new holes for through-bolts.
You usually don’t lose anything by at least trying to fix something that’s already broken. At worst it’ll just remain broken. Even if I don’t intend to repair it, I’ll still usually tend to disassemble it just to see what it looks like inside - and there’s often a part or two I can scavenge for the “DIY box” in case it comes in handy later. I also don’t worry too much about how pretty the fix is, as long as it works. Also, there’s instructions for almost everything online. Just go for it.
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there any other ways to make money online / passive income besides filling out surveys?20·3 days agoYou can invest in index funds online. I passively earn over a month’s salary that way every year.
Still not interested in being a bully, sorry.
Perspectivist@feddit.ukto World News@quokk.au•Putin demands full control of Donetsk and Luhansk as condition for ending Ukraine war4·3 days agoThe issue with giving up territory beyond the current front lines is that this would leave the Ukrainian fortified positions behind enemy lines and if Russia continues the war then there’s nothing stopping them from advancing. That’s why Russia doesn’t want a ceasefire either because Ukraine would just use that time to further build up their current defensive positions making it even harder for Russia to advance in the future.
Bimbos. Like proper, over the top plastic ones.
