ProTip: push your knee(s) against the sink for extra support. Initially you’ll feel a little weird, but you won’t care after your back stops hurting. You can also use this when brushing your teeth and washing your hands.

Given the massive layoffs happening under the Assumed Intelligence banner, the answer has always been: “cheaper labour”

Apparently people who actually know how to do their ICT job are too expensive, right until the shit hits the fan, at which point it’s “drop everything and help me, now!”

Organisations are no longer run by Founders, instead they’re run by accountants and lawyers who only care about shareholder value, not the societal or environmental impact.

When the bubble finally explodes we’re going to be looking at an altered economic and technology landscape, if we don’t self ignite before that.

When I did events, I’d wear two pairs of socks, thin pair against my feet, then thick pair over the top of that.

I’ve also used moulded sole inserts from time to time.

Yes. Look up LOGO.

I’ve been washing clothes for many decades and although I was also taught to turn some clothes inside out, I’ve never noticed any difference if I didn’t and these days I’ll often wash with them oriented normally, mainly because that’s how I prefer to hang them in the cupboard or fold them into drawers and turning them when wet or after taking them off the line or out of the drier makes the whole process even more tedious than it already is.

In the vast majority of operating systems the person who installs the system is by default the highest privileged user, in the case of some of those systems, that user is called root.

However, the word root is also used to describe the basis of several file systems.

No.

Secure boot is about trusting which (signed) software is running.

On a positive note, a Dev responded to that post indicating that the behaviour of the platform is being reviewed.

Which counties voted what and what was their voting record over the last 33 years on the issue condemning the USA blockade of Cuba?

WfW 3.1

This is excellent and important. It also serves to highlight that registrars are making an absolute fortune off the back of this effort.

Depends on what your blender is capable of.

Repeat after me … AI is Assumed Intelligence, there is no reasoning, no semantic anything, it’s statistics the whole way down. An LLM does not “understand”, it does not “think”, nor does it have “concepts”.

It’s autocorrect on steroids, one “token” at a time, a perfect example of “sufficiently advanced technology indistinguishable from magic”.

If it’s feeding you something you don’t like or disagree with, take it up with the billionaire charlatans destroying the global economy and our environment whilst running the crawlers gobbling up every website they can hit.

I’ve been thinking about this for a bit, if all traffic is end-to-end encrypted, the server connecting two endpoints doesn’t have access to the data, so as far as I can see there’s no reason that this couldn’t be implemented using federated services.

I would be surprised if such a service doesn’t already exist, just waiting for widespread user adoption, which undoubtedly relies on mobile phone apps to pass a minimum threshold of viability, something which both Lemmy and Mastodon both struggle with.

The people here today are really part of the early adopters, once you start seeing mainstream media talk about the fediverse, you can expect traction.

The difference is in having a shower first …

The consortium clearly has too much money.

Endless pontificating and outrage on social media, numerous late night show skits and several live streaming channels keeping track of the progress, the destruction of history, the nullification of the offices of First Ladies throughout time, not to mention an improved bottom line for the companies who bribed, uh, funded it, a distraction from government caused shutdown and less time spent discussing why the Epstein files still haven’t been released.

It means your coffee pod machine just came online and the coffee is currently spewing from the spout … probably.
