It’s pretty clear that they meant “a constant factor in our daily lives”, you really don’t need to be this hostile.

You dare speak the name of the accursed one??

Schools are better used to prepare people for your life, you mean.

I think perhaps it’s lack of utility is more on account of the user than it is on the uses…

God this is so true. I teach compuster science, and I always make a point in one lecture to show the students how many tabs full of basic questions I have to open when grading their assignments. Nobody can memorize all of this, and it’s so important to shake off that feeling of not being good enough just because you have to look something up.

I can’t decide if that’s higher or lower than I expected.

Sorry, I forgot the consensus is that we need to excuse their behavior and that they are absolutely deserving of my charity. /s

Screw off. They want this. They overwhelmingly want this. I’m fucking done trying to help them stave off the consequences to their own hateful, bigoted actions. Are some of them redeemable? Probably. But I’ve spent years trying to find those redeemable people, and now trump is president again. So, fuckem. They can suffer while I try to keep them from killing my family, which they keep promising to do. Please take your sanctimony and stick it straight up your ass.

Yeah, they don’t care. And they won’t care, even when it starts hurting them. They actually want this, we need to stop pretending they’re just uninformed victims. They arent, and they aren’t deserving of our charity or understanding

Uh… yeah, they get washed. Not frequently enough for this to be wrong, but still, they do get washed.

I would absolutely advise talking to a doctor about this. That very much sounds like an allergy, and although there are many meds that may help, none of us online can safely advise them for you, you really do need a prescriber with access to your medical records/bloodwork for that.

As far as first steps go, regularly taking OTC allergy meds and developing a daily cleaning schedule + filters for the bedroom + keeping your dog off the bed at the very least, and ideally out of the bedroom entirely, will help. Also frequently bathing your dog can help keep the dander down.

Pretty much this. How many artists did you follow on, say, reddit? There were so few on there, and those that were there mainly linked to alternate social media and just used reddit to get engagement. Lemmy is probably the most approachable activitypub interface (we all remember trying to find the damn content on mastadon/bluesky…) and it’s just not big or established enough to be worth trusting. Hopefully that will start changing soon as more people hop over from the myriad other sites, we seem to be past the critical point for new users, but it just takes time.

Loongsun’s, though you’ve got a point and I’m not sure if theres a chinese foundry doing 5nm (there’s plenty of research labs doing 5nm, I guess? But I did mean 7nm not 5nm, apologies)

This feels like an AI article, but assuming its not, they’re keeping their 3nm processes running. Honestly don’t know why they still have their 5nm equipment still running since (as I understand it, which admittedly may be flawed) they’ll never be able to compete on volume or price with chinese 5nm production, let alone 7nm…

You’ve a winning argument, to be sure! Not sure where I quantified how much I think hollywood influences culture but okay.

FWIW, obviously popular media both is influential and responds to culture. “Hollywood” really shouldn’t be treated as a singular entity if we’re trying for a semblance of legitimacy. This is really quickly going to fall into a discussion of the role of the audience and how that’s changed in the digital era (vs. when Aristotle first brought it up…), and neither of us care enough to suffer through thay. Suffice to say it’s not cut and dry, and beyond that I dont know any better than you do what specific impact they have (and neither do they).

This is a real Im14AndThisIsDeep meme. More people have access to platforms where they can share their creative works than at any other point in human history, if you aren’t seeing it then you’re not really trying to find it. That point would be fair, too; its hard to find original content (even more so with the rise of AI-driven SEO). It’s not the trend in hollywood, but hollywood doesn’t define culture NEARLY as much as they’d like to think they do…)

One of their previous attempts was this fucking thing, so at least the one clifton is holding won’t cause the enemies of democracy to pee themselves laughing…

I’ll say. Us little specialties are still safe for now (big data in my case) but we’re probably the first to go once these models get just a bit better. Not fun stuff.

I can personally attest that no, some people do in fact want that.

There is no home-user need to run bitlocker. There’s dozens of alternatives, that do not rely on TPM, that are just as effective, and that you really should be using anyways since they aren’t controlled by M$.

I think in this case it’s not exceptionally nefarious, just greedy. They’ll save boatloads of money (and be able to centralize their facilities) if these reactors get approved, instead of being forced to pay to upgrade the municipal infrastructure because of the terrific strain they’re placing on it. A massive power source, all for them? Hot diggity.
