Bro, do you need a hug?
Bro, do you need a hug?
Correct, we’re all dying and we’ll all continue to die. Now, why don’t you start living, and enjoy the neon sign?
It’s ok, not every social event is going to go well and most of the time it’s nothing personal, we’re all just kind of bumbling along through the confusing and absurd reality that is life.
May I join this group hug?
First a $40 fee just to swipe plastic is stupid, even VISA don’t charge anywhere near that much for the card machine operator. Sorry you have to deal with that.
Also does the US not have smartphone banking apps? Do you have to pay fees for a bank transfer? Is it the landlord setting those fees? I’m confused how a free at point of use system is getting slapped with a fee.
Why does everyone in the US have to write cheques to eachother, wasting everyone’s time going in person to the bank to cash them in? Even my employer just does a bank transfer to pay me my income.
That’s fucking ridiculous, sorry to hear that.
But why can’t your landlord just accept a bank transfer every month you can set up on your banking app? Is this not a thing in the US?
Who the hell is still writing cheques? Does this landlord also contact the tenant by carrier pigeon?
I think this humanoid robot will be Elon’s 'Sinclair C5" moment.
Each time we peer into the quantum world we do a shit load of what is called Fundamental Research. This fundamental research leads to new discoveries in our understanding of quantum physics which then leads on to commercial research to apply these new discoveries to engineer new things.
What this new tool does is unlock a whole new batch of fundamental research that can be done which in turn will advance what we can build on top of it.
Unless this one has John Bercow as the robotic speaker of the house, I’m not interested.
This is the one with John Bercow, I’m sold!
Sorry citizen, every time you enter the bar we’ve got to take a swab from your genitals to check that since you were last here you haven’t fucked any kids.
Fucking ridiculous. If you want to prevent CSAM spreading across Europe do this instead:
Investigation and surgical removal of the whole rotten ring of kid fuckers will curve CSAM creation and distribution in the EU.
Then preventative measures to stop creators/ consumers of CSAM because prevention is more effective than trying to cure it.
Child sexual abuse is one of, if not the most evil act someone can commit and they should face very steep punishment for it. And anyone proposing any policy offering help to reform them is committing political suicide.
But ignoring the fact that people have the capacity to commit an evil act of that magnitude, demonising them, and then offering no support network to prevent them is not going to solve the problem. It doesn’t work for any crime and certainly not this.
Until your knees & thighs start burning.
And thus the inherent dichotomy of a decentralised social network is revealed: social networks require the network effect for good senses of communities which means one instance will end up hosting most of the bigger communities, therefore true decentralisation can’t occur on Lemmy but it’s a step in the right direction.
What y’all are forgetting is that when it comes to dominating a technology space, historically, it’s not proving the better product, is providing the cheapest/widest available product. With the goal being to capture enough of the market to get and retain that dominant position. Nobody knows what the threshold is for that until years later when the dust has settled.
So from Google’s perspective if a new or current rival is going to get there first, then just push it out and fix it live. What are people going to do? Switch to Bing?
So is you want Google to stop doing this dumb broken LLM shite, use the network effect against them. Switch to a different search provider and browser and encourage all of your friends and family to do so as well.
I have, I just use it to view Reddit without an account.
I am not going to like the day they remove that.
Like an emotionally abusive partner.
Oh for fucks sake.
Well y’all decided that finding and keeping zero-day exploits were more important than contacting the companies to fix them because you looked at both approaches and decided that intelligence gathering scale > cyber security robustness.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich:
“Well, as the first to co-ordinate time we-”
The International Telecommunication Union and International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service in Unison:
“Excuse me, I think you’ll find we manage the time.”
NIST: “I don’t see your footprints up there! We’re going off my Omega Speedmaster!”
MATLAB: And I took that personally.
