Quit porn, don’t quit masturbation.

Porn is the source of all the problems, masturbation is relatively healthy.

Yeah, YOU FUCKING THINK?

Seriously I hate the holier than thou “we['re the only ones that] care about cultural and racial rights” attitude the West has almost as much I hate the actual racism and cultural erasure that goes on here. I hate how people will bend over backwards twisting every fact and theory to justify this as “not about anti-Russian racism” and then in the very next breath twist everything the other way to justify how any amount of criticism of Israel’s genocide is “antisemitic.”

The “people” vs “government” dichotomy people have is also infuriating. Any Westerner when confronted about the West’s atrocities will instinctively say “oh but that’s my GOVERNMENT that’s like that, I’m just little old John Nobody who didn’t get to choose the society I was born into or what the elite of my country does, I don’t like it either.” Which could be a valid argument if they didn’t then go “oh those Russians are all Asiatic orcs, every single one of them personally wants to kill every Ukrainian so punishing average Russians is absolutely the way to punish Putin’s war.”

They consider incompatible with their values to mandate foreign actors indentify as such.

Lol so they’re so incompetent they can’t look past “does this guy speak Russian?” In their foreign actor counterintelligence?

This is cartoon level shit, like something you’d see from American Dad. Also they’re in for a real surprise when they learn about modern pre Caesar espionage tactics talking about choosing actors fluent in the language of your target.

Think about how much shoddy “gymbro science” there is on the internet. Think about Liver King or any of the other steroid riddled fitness influencers peddling the dumbest self destructive shit possible. Think about all the conspiratorial “health” pages pushing anti science alternative medicine drivel. Now imagine some"one" with zero formal kinesiology, physiology, or biology training, critical thinking skills, or common sense. Imagine that thing getting all that internet health garbage as its input data, without a single trained person to moderate it. Oh and that thing is an ethereal neural network without a body or experience keeping a body not dead.

I don’t even blanket hate LLMs, it’s overhyped but I still think there are niches where it could be useful, but anything to do with the human body or health are absolutely not it.

Silver lining I guess

I’ve heard reasons for it like "women’s bathroom needs places to dispose of pads/tampons but, like, it’s a box on the wall. Put one in both.

Also heard reasons along the lines of “men are faster at using the bathroom so why should we need to share with women” (even though with single bathrooms the washing your hands part is the time bottleneck, not the peeing part) or just general disgust at the idea of sharing a bathroom with the other gender (have heard it from both genders).

I think having a TPM enables a number of worthwhile security features.

But most of those security features place the TPM at the root of trust, something that is SEVERELY undermined by the fact that it is not open source, meaning it is inherently untrustworthy.

Is it not the one chip we should demand and accept nothing less than complete openness in its implementation and complete control by the person who owns the device? I also think the types of protections it grants in theory are very good, but the fact that it’s proprietary means it’s terrible at actually granting you those protections.

Damn my definition of “model” has been really skewed lately, I thought it was some kind of neural network for shading.

Being dumb.

Let’s all try to get smarter and more knowledgeable. Like, in general. We’ll need it to survive whatever the fuck is about to happen.

Reside: Vancouver. Biased because I mostly grew up here and am lucky enough to still live here but I really do think it’s something special.

Vacation: Probably Qing Huang Dao. Gorgeous Chinese beach city that I’ve only ever been to twice in my childhood, but it’s also really nostalgic for that reason.

Party (hardest one for me because I don’t party): Wanted to say New York or Vegas because nothing in Canada really compares to those, but with current events and my skin colour I’m going with Toronto instead. Like to not end up at a concentration camp while partying, but more generally because I know the laws of my own country better than somewhere else which I feel is a benefit if you want to party.

Then that’s not Lemmy. That’s Voat or any of the other first wave Reddit alternatives.

Not trying to say you don’t belong here, but that the cross reference stuff are the foundational principles Lemmy is built on.

AKA the idea Elon stole for the Hyperloop, but less stupid.

I don’t drive so it has more to do with the quality and reliability of transit going to a place than how many traveling minutes it is. Taking a train cross region feels faster than taking a bus cross town even if they take the same time because the train is more frequent, much more reliable, and generally has a lower mental barrier and therefore lower perceived distance.

Transfers also add significant perceived distance even if they don’t add much actual travel time, because it’s more annoying than just sitting or standing there. The timing of your next bus is also another thing that can go wrong and significantly delay your trip. I often find myself choosing physically longer routes that have fewer transfers.

Generally, if I’m near the train system, everywhere on the current line is “close” because it’s a one seat ride away on the highest quality transit mode. If not, I’d say 10 stops in either direction on the bus lines that directly serve the street I’m on is similarly “close.” Relatively, I consider one train stop to have the same “closeness” as two or three bus stops regardless of distance, but only because I would just walk if it was one or two bus stops away.

Also, because I’m walking for my last mile transport, everything feels significantly closer when the weather is favourable. Rain adds some distance but I live in Vancouver so I’ve mostly stopped caring. If it snows though, everything outside my house isn’t “close” anymore because of the gauntlet of death Vancouver streets turn into when snow or ice is involved.

Do people stare at the faces when in a work call and notice glitches? What information are you getting from that? I’ve always mainly looked at the presenter’s screen share and/or other windows on my own screen because that’s where the problem and information being discussed are.

He could put in a free ticket to get a free headset, or just make everyone’s life more difficult every single time they interact with him.

Hey, so have you or any of your coworkers ever voiced your concerns to him? Most people aren’t recording themselves through their setup just to see how it sounds unless they’re a professional announcer or something.

If you haven’t, you’re judging him for poor communication on your part.

Diagrams for complex architectures or control flow is pretty helpful.

Socialize with people in your community?

One of the biggest problems we face today is not having friends outside of work.

Why would they need to ask Ukraine for them when Taiwan has much more mature electronics manufacturing sectors than Ukraine?
