Poor grammar is not a great strategy for getting your point across

How fucking long must it take for anteaters to get into heaven?

I mean, it’s not like it’s a time-consuming thing to do. I haven’t checked in with everyone, but at least one person is still using the setup two years later and is grateful for it so I call that a win. But my original point was about not making assumptions that people who use ublock are going to be tech savvy.

I’ve installed ublock on the phones of some very non-techie older adults in my life, specifically because they’re non-techie and never would have even known ublock existed otherwise. Granted these folks are definitely not on Lemmy either, but point is there’s a wide range of users out there

My understanding is that they used to be a fire hazard a few decades ago, but have improved significantly in safety since. Plus you don’t have to sleep with it on; using it to warm up the sheets before you crawl into bed is often sufficient, depending on your climate. Or you can use it elsewhere in the house, such as on the couch or a reading chair.

YMMV, but the cheap one I bought only lasted two winters before the electric part died, while the more expensive two I bought have lasted five years and counting.

That… sounds like a potentially serious medical problem

You know, there’s a shortage of RAM right now, not pixels.

Why does Baby Jesus look like Donald Trump?

Yeah, but asking for the small piece how I get through social situations like birthday parties with grocery store sheet cake; I think grocery store sheetcake is absolutely disgusting and a standard-sized piece will literally make me sick, but I will suffer a few bites to be part of the festivities and not make the host feel judged for their taste in desserts. Give me a big piece and I’ll feel obligated to finish the whole thing or rudely waste the gifted food.

Also sometimes I’m full or have a bellyache or already had a big dessert that day and really can’t handle that much sugar.

Either way if I’m wrong and decide I want more, there’s this concept called “getting a second serving.”

Bamigboye also said that he has PTSD from being kidnapped in his native Nigeria.

Bingo

According to the affidavit, Bamigboye also said that he has PTSD from being kidnapped in his native Nigeria.

I don’t have PTSD from being previously kidnapped, but probably would have likely done the same thing.

Sincere question:

Most of the comments here cite reasons for disliking AI that include one or more of the following: environmental degradation, resource consumption, increasing energy/hardware prices, disregarding copyright, disregarding privacy, undermining human artists, mass layoffs, creating a market bubble, throwing education into chaos, monopolization by corporations/billionaires, AI hallucinations/inaccuracy, a product that is overpromising/undelivering, a product that makes generating misinformation easier.

Which of these reasons for disliking AI do you think fall under your assertion of “anti-intellectual technophobia”? They all seem like legitimate, well thought out reasons for disliking something to me, especially when considered together.

This is also a huge problem when deciding how to write foreign names into Chinese: imagine the difference in public perspective when reading a news article about some country leader named “Prime Minister Sleepy Swamp Pit” vs “Prime Minister Strong Universe Zephyr” or whatever.

Boo, AI slop

Is this meme recommending the destruction of:

1. generative AI Godzilla

or

2. generative AI, Godzilla

?

I sometimes get sent/click on shorts too, however I absolutely cannot stand that YT shorts auto-repeat, which keeps me from watching more than one video at a time (hit that back button at light speed). Plus the clickbait videos are almost always disappointing (“I tuned in for 90 seconds for something that could have been summed up in a sentence and ended up being a total dud anyway!?”).

Pretty ironic, given that Oregon Republicans are best known for taking the ball and going home…

I do this (I watch the first season when it comes out and then if I really liked it I’ll wait until the whole series is complete so I can binge it in one go, and if I just thought it was just okay I’ll watch the seasons as they come out because I don’t care that much if I miss stuff on account it forgetting what happened previously) and I know it screws with viewership numbers when it comes time to decide what to renew/axe but when the alternative is rewatching the entire series every time a new season comes out…
