That’s a pretty fair point, though I assume a spare powerbank would solve the problem nearly as well (albeit slower and with a cable).

Screwdrivers are pretty entry-level tools though.
I’ve never had one of those actually work…
Clearly the train didn’t yield properly, time to ban trains.
Also, since they’ve been bombing nuclear facilities I can guarantee you that they have boat loads of very shitty (radioactive) chemicals laying around there which with these bombings now will also be spread around everywhere
So far no radiation was detected, so perhaps it was stored more securely (or somewhere else).
I think they did briefly mentioned they improved the sticks, but they never clarified what exactly.
I’m tempted to say that although many of these are gaming icons, they’re not PC-exclusive so they’re not really PC-gaming specific mascot material. Most of these characters are playable on consoles too.
I guess this makes MMORPGs and RTS games prime candidates, like a character from Runescape, Starcraft or WoW. Or perhaps something that shows off modding, like the Thomas the Tank Engine dragon (even if the game isn’t PC exclusive).
The Kerbals from KSP could be mascot material too. Dwarf Fortress would be an option too. Or what about a guest from Roller Coaster Tycoon 1/2?
Even sitting on a couch moves your phone more than simply laying on a table. They can use accelerometer data to determine how, if at all, it moved.
They likely have the data to show it didn’t move at all. Eg it wasn’t on your person.
I’m not sure a technical solution is feasible, other than dns-blocking these trackers. I suppose lawmakers need to spring into action to make this shit illegal.
Yeah it’s Javascript that’s the issue that can just take all this data in the client and send it wherever. And that’s exactly what’s happening.
A lot of those things are also required to render a webpage correctly.
It’s a pretty simple concept. Train any kind of model on only “good” data, and it fails to distinguish between that data and bad data.
Take image recognition. Feed it hundreds of images of an orange and ask it to find the orange. After training, it will be very good at finding that orange.
Then add a picture of a Pomeranian dog in there, and watch as the model confidently marks it as an orange.
The model should have been trained on lots of images that don’t feature what you want it to output as well, so it knows to distinguish that.
Perhaps a slightly less doom-and-gloomy scenario (because not all muslims hate women): in many muslim cultures it’s expected that a relationship turns into a marriage quickly. A non-muslim colleague of mine started dating a muslim girl and her family was totally supportive of the relationship, but he did have to marry her within just a couple months of dating. They were both happy to do so but they’re a fair bit older than you are. Your girlfriend might not feel ready for such a thing.
Talk to her about it, and ask if she’s worried about her family’s reaction, what she expects and why. Don’t pressure her into introducing you to the family, but clarify that you’d just like to know why. You can express you’d like to meet them of course, but just remember that her decision should be final in all this. That will help your relationship going forward, and once she is ready for it you’ll get to meet them.
True, it’s not a perfect measure. But surely an instance with fewer users also tends to have fewer active communities, no?
It might be better than nothing at least.
I suppose we should normalize lemmy instances closing new registrations, to keep the user count at a manageable level for the admins.
The 5th of November is Guy Fawkes Night in the UK: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night
I mean it’s easier to sort like that for humans too.
Valve didn’t decide to pull it, and the game is still downloadable if you purchased it before.
