Well… The boys is actually pretty close. Evil corporation lying to the public and with uncle Sam’s support.

Nomad ,

You make no sense, son of chronos.

Nomad ,

So you represent the concept, not the youngest son of chronos?

Nomad ,

Interesting arrangement and glorious voice. He sounds a littleo out of breath though.

Nomad ,

There is a case of someone clowning against the glass and falling down with the glass and dying from it. So… Fear validated?

Sorry to tell you. Controling parents exist independent of the times. Them calling the police on you is a classic abusive move which is shitty behavior in it self, but the strain on society is fucked up as well. Classic narcist behavior. We love our parents either way deep down, but no need to make excuses for them. Go be happy, enjoy your life, do better with your kids. Help them become independent while being safe. Trust me they will still love you. Stop the cycle. <3

The Israeli government is truly disgusting. FTFY

Nomad ,

I would glue an NFC Tag there. And have tasker react to that

Nomad ,

Android triggers wegen when a Tag enters its scanner. I wager tasker can use that as trigger.

Nomad ,

Try setting it to manually connect to that Bluetooth device. Then trigger the connect with the nfc tag. Stick it where you put your phone while driving. Disconnect when the tag is not present anymore.

Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday’s debate in sharply different ways (apnews.com)

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are veering sharply in how they gear up for Tuesday’s presidential debate, setting up a showdown that reflects not just two separate visions for the country but two politicians who approach big moments very differently....

Nomad ,

Trump will ramble nonstop, hot mic rule will prevent them from moderating him (as if they would) and Harris will look bad because she has to endure his ramblings because getting into a shouting match will look worse.

Nomad ,

Let’s hope so. Media is mostly on trumps side. Murdoch that is.

It’s not about you being copied and destroyed. It’s about of continued consciousness. You are continually being killed and replaced by neurons dying off and others replacing the function. The problem is getting the information off the neurons without copy and kill. The key would be continuous transfer of neurons over time to a more longlived replacement. So you is still you and not you thinks it’s still you. Also… It’s up for debate if that matters as you are still a copy if you do nothing. But it solves the continued consciousness problem.

Nomad ,

I was testing some code late at night in the test system. Rolled out the changes, log on to the admin interface and write a short news article about how one of the more hated profs at the university had died suddenly and unexpectedly.

Result looks good, roll out changes to prod, about to call it quits for the night. Think to myself: common reason people get fired, maybe delete the story from test system. Check test system, no story there… Uhoh.

Story has been live for about three hours. Hope no spiders have caught it yet, hurry to delete it and learn how to purge all evidence from database.

Turns out the shithead admin had copy and pasted the server config for the test system from live and forgotten to change the admin rewrite rules to test system. Phew…

Veeerry reflective white paint. Probably not street legal

The man had Vitiligo, his skin literally bleached itself.

Well you have nearly the complete story. Church is about control: if you help someone hide his crimes, they have acess to repeated rape and you have control over them because you can always expose them. It might even build loyalty. Case and point marriage and celebacy: probably the only thing threatening the churches control-by-faith is the drive to protect your spouse and children. So they are not allowed to have them. Bonus round: why is there a concept of “sin” and “confession”? Because this helps the church know all the dirty secrets of powerful people and their loved ones. The rest is history (blackmail).

Welp… Smart designer wouldn’t even have included a server. Bluetooth connection to the crib would have been enough. If it needs an app at all… Our motorized crib hat buttons you know. You are not gonna operate that thing remotely anyways.

Somebody has a bad case of Varicosis

How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

I am a reddit refugee. Keep seeing that this is supposed to be somehow better than Reddit. As far as I can tell, it follows a similar format, less restrictive on posts being removed I suppose. But It looks like people still get down vote brigaded on some communities. So I’m curious, how it’s better?

Nomad ,

Hard to put into words. “Better” as in “more free” (as in freedom and no cost). Everything is maintained communally and so you and your data are not sold (out) for money.

Nomad ,

Why? Because local data recovery will be that much harder, forcing people into online backups with Microsoft

Nomad ,

IANAL, IANAA (not American). I would wager this argument won’t work due to subdivisions of the Disney corporation into a lot of sub corporations. The terms of service and any other contract are usually between the consumer and the relevant sub corporate entity. This is usually what protects the parent corporation from one arm of the business spreading it’s risk to the rest of the corporate body. In this case, arguments reaching across that would risk spreading throughout the company… Weird that they would risk it.

Use bettercap for Arp poisoning and Redoute bis traffic via your system. Sniff the dns traffic and record the domains he is resolving. Set them in bettercap to resolve to the IP of a garporn site.

*antisemite

I approve of your sarcasm though.

Do you consider the concept of honor to be self-explanatory? Why?

When I say honor, what I mean is the idea of every individual being called to answer to everyone else. You know, the kind of thing you see from the Klingons. “You are thirty and unmarried, you bring dishonor to us” or “shame on your family for eternity because you were arrested for terrorism” or “what a disgrace you...

Love the western definition meaning integrity. Loathe the definition meaning group pressure up to violence.

Nomad ,

I heard the worm was killed and removed. Seems to have left some spectacular damage though.

Nomad ,

Suggestion: treat black people like what they are. People. Like any other human.

How do you even suggest we detect black people around here? O.o

Nomad ,

The detector is most likely a machine learning algorithm. That said, releasing that would allow for adversarial training. (An LLM that would not be detected). Therefore they can only offer maybe an api to use it but can not give unlimited access to the model.

Nomad ,

That’s what the Chinese tried with chatgpt. Didn’t go well.

Help me understand littering

I consider myself to be the kind of person who can quite easily imagine myself in someone else’s place. I don’t know if I’m actually any better at it than the average person, but judging by the comment sections on social media and the conversations I’ve had with other people, I really struggle to get angry at strangers...

Nomad ,

Common reasons for littering are:

  • unavailability of trash cans (in a convenient distance)
  • inability to pay for trash disposal (this includes transport of heavy items or a large quantity of)
  • creation of jobs associated with trash removal (often including arguments that tax payers fund those jobs and as a taxpayer it’s their right to litter)

Exaggerated are these issues by low social education fueling short sightedness (“out of view out of mind”). So people lacking the understanding that somebody has to pay for removal of that waste.

Nomad ,

There is a rally good episode of the Huberman Lab podcast. Can’t recommend it enough. Explains how teeth to regenerate to a certain extend and how to promote that.

Nomad ,

UK… Not EU… Haven’t you heard of Brexit? They wouldn’t be allowed to do shit like that in the EU.

Nomad ,

Haha. I guess I also know only about the special children of America. Like Alabama xD

Nomad ,

Don’t ever buy Sony wireless buds. They stop working right around the one year mark. Customer service is horrible.

Nomad ,

Feels like the beautiful beginning of a cyberpunk novel to me. Delivery brothers both getting recruited by opposing criminal organizations as couriers ina an increasingly violent sprawl.

Nomad ,

Watch miss marvel and listen how her mother calls her.

Nomad ,

Love the idea. Now convince Mr Beast to act the human role and promote the movie as his Muppet alter ego.

CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem

This is an unpopular opinion, and I get why – people crave a scapegoat. CrowdStrike undeniably pushed a faulty update demanding a low-level fix (booting into recovery). However, this incident lays bare the fragility of corporate IT, particularly for companies entrusted with vast amounts of sensitive personal information....

Nomad ,

It’s called EFI. How do you think your BIOS update from inside BIOS is working? ;)

EDIT: oh, and PXE boot + wol.

Nomad ,

You have to register at a certain expected size so police can have enough policemen on site to be able to keep public order. There are very few cases where these applications have been denied and with good reason. Demonstrations are only dissolved if they get too unruly and dangerous for the public.
