How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?

I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

Mostly.

That’s exactly how I handle my five month baby, just with more screaming and pooping.

Same with OneDrive.

It’s just a folder of markdown files, basically anything should work.

Tor browser is not Tor.

This is Tor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)

Tor browser is an additional piece of software built on top of it. Using the network(what everyone else means when they say tor) is unfortunately not enough to prevent fingerprinting.

No it isn’t.

And this is really important. If you go on Google tracked websites without tor, Google will still know it’s you when you use tor, even if you’ve cleared all your cookies.

Tor means people don’t know your IP address. It doesn’t protect against other channels of privacy attack.

Just asking questions makes it harder to sue under English libel law.

Look at the difference.

Elon musk is a Nazi.

A clear factual statement leaves room for disagreement. Maybe he’s just an edgelord fascist radicalized by 4chan but doesn’t have enough fashion sense to be a Nazi.

Elon musk is a Nazi?

Perfectly safe.

Hash tables are super efficient when they’re not nearly full. So the standard trick is just to resize them when they’re too close to capacity.

The new approach is probably only going to be useful in highly memory constrained applications, where resizing isn’t an option.

The general recommendation is to plant endangered plants on your land or get rare animals to nest there.

That can make it really hard to develop on. Bonus points if you can get it to spread to your neighbors.

A university I worked at had a similar policy to the first one.

They wanted a single username and sign on across all IT systems but also had some really old legacy systems that didn’t support long passwords.

So they’d force everyone to use passwords that were exactly as long as the maximum legacy password length.

For me, the worst system is the Microsoft authenticator which locks me out my account for five minutes if my fingerprint doesn’t match the first time I try.

The irony is that if he’d just looked up how to build a fertilizer bomb on YouTube he’d have got much better advice.

I think the easiest way to describe how it feels is it is like having a tooth taken out.

You’ve had it removed because the pain is too much, and now finally that pain is gone, but instead you’re sat there feeling puffy and swollen from the recent trauma, and you’re just constantly aware of this gap where there used to be something present.

Just like going to the dentist, it gets better though. And I’d do it again in a heart beat if I had to make the same decision.

I mean the fundamental problem is that humans are dicks and moderation is always needed. It should also be paid, and supported with counciling and recovery time when needed. Dealing with toxic content is a job.

Federation isn’t very good at this. The tech is great but everyone is a volunteer and there’s (afaik) no global ban hammer so trolls move from one instance to another. Bluesky currently has venture capital to pay for moderation teams, and centralized ban options.

I don’t know how long this can last without advertising revenue though.

The other great ambiguity is hug/jazz hands. 🤗

I’m sorry your mom just died. *jazz hands*

1. Fuck those things.
2. The main problem with them is not just the software, which is awful, but that it means you’re working at Amazon.

It’s about generative AI as it is currently used.

But yeah, the complaints everyone has about Gen AI are mostly driven by speculative venture capital. The only advantage Google and openai can maintain over open source models is a willingness to spend more per token than a hobbyist. So they’re pumping cash in to subsidize their LLMs and it carries with it a stupidly high environmental cost.

There’s no possible end game here. Unlike the normal tech monopolies, you can’t put hobbiest models out of business, by subsidizing your own products. But the market is irrational and expects a general AI, and is encouraging this behavior.

That’s probably more a stalling tactic then anything else.

The longer they can run down the clock, the greater the chance is that Trump dismantles the FCC before the case is over, and even if he doesn’t do that it lets them keep selling data for longer.

Privacy badger does this.

Every embedded link to Twitter requires you to click to enable them.

Both. It’s satire.

The “benefit” of world hunger is that it keeps people locked in their place and entrenches the status quo. This is actually true, and the author believes it, but he doesn’t like it.

Many people benefit from world hunger though, and every time you hear that poverty is a hard problem to solve you should ask yourself, how much of that is actual problems and how much is the status quo resisting change?

If you hate billionaires but like steak, have you tried eating the rich?
