is this like a joker dilemma where they’re both dangling over vats of acid and i only have time to save one?

juliebean ,

well, whether by bow or by vat of acid, i’d probably choose to spare my friend over some random celebrity. though i’d naturally rather not kill either of them.

juliebean ,

is this new on iphone? as far as i knew, that’s been a thing for most videos for ages on android, excepting only most music videos.

juliebean ,

probably ant man, as well as any film that prominantly features ant man as a character. the sci-fi nonsense justification of his powers is just way too stupid for me, and it taints everything it touches.

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

juliebean ,

just a historical factoid that a lot of people don’t realize: the luddites weren’t anti technology without reason. they were apprehensive about new technology that threatened their livelihoods, technology that threatened them with starvation and destitution in the pursuit of profit. i think the comparison with opposition to AI is pretty apt, in many cases, honestly.

i like my laptop cause i already have it, and have gotten to know it quite well over the past 16 years, but i wouldn’t recommend it. it would be nice to have more than 4gb of memory these days, cause i can’t have too many tabs open on firefox without it bogging down.

juliebean ,

T2 is definitely the best terminator film, but you’re missing out if you discount all the sequels. Dark Fate at least is pretty darn good, and it’s basically a direct sequel to T2, so you don’t have to watch all the films in between.

juliebean ,

my first os was windows 95, but my first linux distro must’ve been whatever version of ubuntu was current around 2007/2008.

juliebean ,

right now, job hunting, but as soon as i can stop job hunting, my answer will change to working.

juliebean ,

trying to start any kind of art as an adult sucks because inevitably by that point, you’ve got a fair head start on your art appreciation skill, which makes you perceive your initial attempts at art creation as particularly heinous. if you start as a kid, you’re less capable of recognizing how bad you are, and you aren’t having to compare yourself against peers who’ve got twenty years of experience on you.

juliebean ,

i may or may not have a tanksona, but that doesn’t make me a tankie.

juliebean ,

why dost thou speakest in riddles, fair traveler?

juliebean ,

even if they were breaking tos (and i don’t think it sounds quite so cut and dry), shouldn’t the response be to notify them and allow them to fix it, or just terminate the account? demanding a ton of money to make the problem seems a skeevy way of handling it on cloudflare’s part.

juliebean ,

the earth is round, that’s obvious if you just go to the beach, but the moon is a flat disk. the back side of the disk is home to a dinosaur utopia that nasa doesn’t want us to know about.

juliebean ,

how is penalizing employers going to hurt immigrants though? being cruel to poor people is the point.

juliebean ,

definitely the Tubbs Fire. You can see where my childhood home used to be in the wikipedia image! Fortunately, we didn’t live there at the time, we were a couple neighborhoods over, but it was still quite scary, the air was horrible, it lasted forever, and we had to evacuate for a while to my grandma’s house to the south. Fortunately the worst of the damage to our home was holes melted in the fake grass from raining embers, and a persistent smell of smoke, and nobody i knew got hurt.

someday, i want to live somewhere that doesn’t have to worry about ‘fire season’.

juliebean ,

why 73? which 74 year old are you wanting to oust? lol

juliebean ,

unfair comparison. both of these guys are far better public speakers than trump.

juliebean ,

thank you for sharing that article cause i had never heard of this and was completely confused.

juliebean ,

i like listening to Lily Simpson videos when i’m doing chores and such. Her videos are often fairly long (meaning i don’t need to stop what i am doing to pick another video), easy to take in without having to actually watch with my eyeballs the whole time, and of consistently high quality.

juliebean ,

depends on the opinion and what you mean by “respect”, i suppose. i will say though that if someone goes around spouting baseless nonsense and expects to be taken seriously, i will probably respect them less as a person.

juliebean ,

would a notification work? notify-send seems like it could fit the bill.

juliebean ,

is there a non sexist/queerphobic meaning for that term? i would assume the bigotry is the whole point.

juliebean ,

i really wish i hadn’t seen the trailer for From Dusk Til Dawn. if you know nothing about the film, and have ever enjoyed a tarentino flick, just watch it blind, please.

juliebean ,

context? this isn’t really news without a story of some sort.

juliebean ,

i hope all these conflicting answers in the comments have made you less confused, OP.

juliebean ,

if you missed the original, it had text at the top that this image has removed. said something like “men who dislike trump checking their muffins”. it was clearly a joke saying that anyone who dislikes trump is, idk, silly? bootylicious and flexible? (and therefore feminine by right wing standards i’m sure). i’m not sure what the precise nature of the insult was meant to be, but clearly anti trump people were the butt of the joke.

juliebean ,

a nose for a really big stone face buried under the desert.

juliebean ,

aren’t woks usually carbon steel? what’s yours?

juliebean ,

see, i’ve tried using them the “right” way, but i’ve found that i’d rather have the lid be sharp than the can most of the time.

juliebean ,

some ereaders do use android, my old onyx did, but honestly i much prefer the dedicated solution kobo has. they could use android, but if they’ve got the resources to make their own os targeting their actual use case instead of cramming a mobile phone os in there, why wouldn’t they? even their os has too much cruft for my taste, but it is a lot less than an android ereader.

juliebean ,

the term i always heard was maltheism. reading the other comments though, i’m surprised how many other terms there are for this.

fun fact: renowned mathematician Paul Erdős referred to God as the SF, or Supreme Fascist, who kept all the best mathematical proofs to himself.

juliebean ,

so the proof of the irrationality of pi is a bit more than i want to get into here, but there’s a very simple proof that there are infinite prime numbers which i will share here.

suppose that there is a finite number of prime numbers. write out a list of all of these prime numbers, and multiply them together. add one to this product, and you now have a number that is not divisible by any of our list of prime numbers, and thus should be another prime. this contradicts our initial assumption of finite primes, and therefore there are infinite primes.

any god is not above mathematics.

juliebean ,

i don’t know why “þorn” always gets so much more love on ðe internet ðan “eð”. ðey’re boþ cool letters.

juliebean ,

second day you say? why, by then we can have the second backup bridge designed, printed, and installed next to the first, so that is not a problem. every two days, a new bridge.

juliebean ,

my first time installing linux was ubuntu, because it was what i’d seen a friend using. i meant to install it to dual boot with windows, but instead ended up wiping everything from the family PC, which was very distressing, and my dad quickly reinstalled windows. this was back around '06 i think.
in '08, i first installed linux on my own system and actually got to use it. i’m not sure what i installed first, cause i did a fair bit of distrohopping, but i settled on ubuntu mate for a while.

juliebean ,

i don’t think we have any historically recorded events from 10k years ago. heck, ea-nasir only goes back less than 4k.

juliebean ,

i don’t get it. what would be the goal of this if it was social engineering?

juliebean ,

oh, you meant social engineering in the sense used in security, not the sense used in political science.

juliebean ,

i can’t personally recommend it, as i just found it, but ‘mindful notifier’ on f-droid appears to do what you’re looking for.

juliebean ,

if it makes you feel any better, i downvoted both of you (but this one is better because it seems to depict actual items, and not ai generated nonsense)

juliebean ,

i felt more than a little sick to my stomach at “one pedal driving”.

juliebean ,

she made a mistake. good design could have prevented her crash, and less negligent design should have let her live. absolute worst case scenario, it should have been an expensive mistake, but not a fatal one.

juliebean ,

honestly, i can barely tolerate two pedal driving, but the thought of just removing the ability to actively brake in an emergency seems profoundly short sighted and dangerous.
