There is a documented thing insurance companies have started doing where they deny claims until you appeal them. AI was being used somehow to determine which cases.
Is there a reason? My pup is anxious about loud noises, and there is a field nearby that uses a gas bird scarer (sounds like a shotgun). She wouldn’t hide in the bath though, she don’t like baths much either!
Mine doesn’t like baths either. This was at my last house without central air so I think she went in when it was too hot, the bathroom was the coolest room and the bathtub makes a cozy hidey hole.
It’s both annoying and cute, she always leaves dirty paw prints lol.
Geez it’s just so incredibly sad to me that facebook has survived this long and even THRIVED while probably being the worst version of what they do, and being the most evil doing it
True. Those of us on social media at the time moved from MySpace moved because it was a step up as far as keeping in touch with friends, sharing photos and links. It was uncluttered and well designed and no annoying advertising. Just worked. It’s a clusterfuck of awfulness now.
It was certainly fun back in the day. I was in middle school when I noticed everyone around me starting to use it and it was a bit of a mixed bag for me… at that point not everything was social media so it wasn’t such a hellscape and was a bunch of fun, but even then I think it had a negative impact on me, my friends, and our social lives. I don’t know what it was like before, but seeing that a popular kid had a huge number like 100 notifications on their Facebook could not have been healthy—I don’t think that kids need analytics on how socially successful they are
You did good opting for a Linux distribution, but Gnome (Fedora’s desktop environment) is still pretty heavy: they recommend 4GB ram at least.
I would suggest a more lightweight desktop environment like LXQt. The best distributions that ship it are:
Fedora + Lubuntu: if you’re already used to Fedora commands and dnf package manager
Lubuntu: probably the most user friendly for beginners
SparkyLinux: for users that are a little more advanced but that has the lightest and most rock solid base (Debian)
It’s a maddening, yet somehow fun hobby. If you do it just remember it’s better to get a high quality small one vs a shit huge one.
I started with a CR10 knockoff that was a fucking nightmare. Good for learning how they work, but an overall shit user experience. I upgraded to an Artillery Sidewinder X1 and all my headaches went away (for the most part)
The Sidewinder has been reliable so far. If you really don’t want to mess with anything, a comment above recommended Prusa which I agree with they’re just pricier.
I haven’t shopped around in a few years so there may be more notable brands now. Get one with an auto bed leveler, that’s one thing I wish I had. I don’t have the heart to flash in new firmware and deal with the hardware install (bl touch)
I really wish more news sites set up their own instances. At the start I realize they wouldn’t be getting as many eyeballs, but it seems to make a lot of sense to have a @news or something. Then Wolf could have @Wolf[email protected].
How would you propose government officials officially distribute verified information? Just for government officials and distribution, that’s the whole point of having a .gov domain is so you can know it’s official
It'd be another method to drive traffic to their websites and gain more ad revenue. Same as maintaining a presence on twitter or facebook, or providing an RSS feed.
For some crazy reason they haven’t snatched it up yet. Atleast a domain seller website is saying it is free for pickings, if you want it.
Then again maybe their policy is to put everything as subdomain on cnn.com and make cnn.com their sole brand “if it’s not on cnn.com, it’s not that CNN”. Still i would have though they defensive register all relevant TLDs, even if they never ever use them.
Someone used to periodically fork my repo of a college assignment and change all the text to Chinese. I assume they were stealing it but I don’t know. I think their name was spikerman but I’m probably misremembering.
Apparently the Chinese government has created their own “home grown” OS which apparently took 10 years and thousands of programmers and is basically just Ubuntu underneath
There’s been so much tankie discourse that when I saw this in my inbox I genuinely thought someone was accusing me of being a shill for the Chinese government or something lmao.
probably has to do with windows 11’s unrealistic system requirements, most computers are perfectly fine but aren’t able to update so people switch to linux since buying a new pc is not very affordable especially in the current economy
