I always wanted to know if Miley ever used this.

What’s wrong with Puppy Linux?

So LLMs operate like blind people - like every other web scraper and chatbot to exist.

There is no such thing as good or evil. There’s only the things that make us feel good and things that do not. For some people, the things that make them feel good are also things that make others feel good; but there’s a lot of people who only feel good by causing others to feel bad.

The only thing that matters is balancing what makes you feel better with the things that make the people you rely on feel better.

I know that a lot of the cheap Android handsets, which we mostly encounter as prepaid, have interchangeable camera bits.

But not identifiable to a specific type of phone.

That’s a challenge, but even moving to a “generic” lens should help to reduce the identifiability.

So you’re saying, always ‘scratch’ your lens and get a repair shop to replace it with a generic lens. And if possible, get the CCD changed to a compatible one as well.

Mayday would prefer against that, since it causes hassles with her existence.

Anyone who’s a fan of mecha anime or games already knew this. The human body is a comedy of errors masquerading as a marvel of bioengineering. We’re just fish who forgot how to swim and learned how about economics.

Following Washington’s guidance is what I call it.

You as a person don’t need direct representation, usually (though having a lawyer ready us always a benefit). The only way to stop the social media companies from extracting value and facilitating harmful criminal behavior is to stop their actions completely. Yes, that affects people. Yes, that means people won’t be able to use an online service. But if all social media went away tomorrow, the only one I’d actually miss would be YouTube.

Fediverse instances have a different structure, and what should happen is that the owner of each instance that wants to operate in Nepal should register with the government, and only federate with those who are also registered. Otherwise, you’ve lost out on a country that barely us a blip on the Internet radar, with the exception of rich, entitled, jerks ruining Everest and adding to the colossal body count.

No matter what, it’s not worth dying for. Protesting in favor of big companies is dumb from the start. Protesting in favor of niche platforms is dumb. Don’t risk your life for anything but life-and-death situations.

If you have an account from the old Holmdel server, it can be friendly since you can basically download your UI & configs. But most of us don’t have that anymore.

Ongoing development of mbin and attention to the platform as a whole. His lack of overt politics compared to the Lemmy devs also makes me happier. Plus, as an admin, he’s mostly hands-off in my n experience, certainly not a micromanaging mod.

Cool. My spare OS is Archbang.

On Android, I prefer QKSMS, actually.

I’m using a free account on a public instance. Zero tech knowledge & zero cost.

Self-hosting requires paying for hosting and/or bandwidth.

No, my phone (Android) usually has notifications/ringers muted

Holistically it’s UX.

If my wife or others in my life who use Apple want to contact me, they don’t have to go into a specific app and hope that I’m looking at it. They can go into iMessage, click the camera, and poof, a video call starts up. The only software I use that does that otherwise is Discord, and that’s not integrated with SMS/MMS. It’s the connection too (which is just as much part of UX) - I’ve had problems with Zoom or others due to connection strength, but not with FaceTime.

The fact that it’s a “just-works” solution is important.
