Nope. After 2010s proved that the internet is the central location for political battles with Wikipedia Blackouts causing major political shifts, Pandoras Box has been opened.

The internet is now the premier location for propaganda and politicalization.

This is only true if people feed the monster.

Gen AI writes posts that can use specific dialects, that you would never be certain/realise. Hence the whole people-thinking-it's-the-thoughts-of-a-real-person-and-peer-pressure manipulation aspect.

If Gen AI algorithms are having difficulty with it also being used as training data due to the large amounts of it around, you can bet that you've read at least a few posts / comments each day written by gen AI.

I think you're missing the point of the post. Or maybe the personal insult is the action of a bot to encourage other personal insults against me as a form of manipulation of others to build a group against me?

Just to be clear, I'm not accusing lemmy (whoever / whatever that is as a 'thing) of adding messages, but bad actors are doing so to control the short-term narrative for (perhaps, mainly) capitalist reasons.

Kinda like propaganda gone wild. A Cambridge Analytica's former employee book, mindfuck is a good read.

I have about 300GB of personal data on the system

That's a lot of porn!

First thing to do is to prune the data and remove what you don't need. Be brutal (it really takes practise).

I wonder how many people around the world are laughing at USA right now.

Stop calling everyone a “skeptic” and call them what they are: ~~deniers~~ idiots.

FTFY!

...because of course, they don't need privacy, do they now. "Nothing to hide" and all that jazz.

 

Lost the house of my dreams today. Before putting an offer down, I call up some conveyancers to get quotes for work done and one of them instead views and puts an offer down.

Super angry. Had been researching it for about three weeks asking questions and wanting a second viewing. The agency didn't even respond to my first email asking questions for about ten days because apparently it was in their spam box.

I kinda want to go to the agency and flip the tables (not literally, I'm a skinny shit) and for this conveyancer to do it is probably a conflict of interest.

So yeah, really annoyed and have been stewing all day. How do you deal with such situations?

 

Still true today as it was back then.

And for the non-native English speakers

All the people under broken homes Don't wanna fight no more

All the people nursing shattered bones Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in peace So we've gotta fight some more

And all these who are in foreign lands Don't wanna fight no more And all those who've lost their feet or hands Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in peace boys We gotta fight some more

Hey we don't wanna fight no more Hey, Hey, Hey, We don't wanna fight no more But theres' no profit in peace So we gotta fight some more

And all those just trying to play their part Don't wanna fight no more And all those who own a human heart Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in what you want So we must fight some more

And all those who got an axe to grind Don't wanna fight no more And all those who got their burning lives Don't wanna fight no more But there's no profit in ever being right So we must fight some more

Hey we don't wanna fight no more Hey, Hey, Hey, We don't wanna fight no more But theres' no profit in peace So we gotta fight some more

And all the people under broken homes Don't wanna fight no more All the people never going home Don't wanna fight no more But there is profit in the land you own So we must fight some more

And all those who got a tired face Don't wanna fight no more And all those who are lost without a trace Don't wanna fight no more But there is profit in the love of hate So we must fight some more

 

Dell M4800 with a K2100 and I want to shove an M2200 in there. Both are MXM A. When putting the new card in, do I need thermal paste on the main chip or do I just bung the heatsink over it?

I bought the card from AliExpress, it looks shiny new and hoping it isn't a surface fake, so it reports it's an M2200, but burns out after a month!

Not sure if off-topic, but what's the best way to go about finding coding gigs at the moment? Need some urgent funds so need to reach out to people somehow.

I think of linkedin as a facebook for businesses leading you open to being spammed by agencies, which I don't really want.

Though I have years of experience of coding across many languages and fields (audio, computer vision, e-commerce backends, etc), and github accounts over the years with some pushes to the core of a few major projects, I haven't really kept the accounts, and past projects have nearly always been back-ends for clients so can't exactly add them to a portfolio.

Languages I'm currently using would be python / php (including symfony and laravel), though happy to switch to javascript/html coding, some c/c++ etc, so I'm not tied to one area I guess.

Is there a decent place to advertise or, is there a better way lately? Thanks

 

I'm working on a project that needs lots of toolbars on screen at once, even though not all of them will be used at the same time. So, I'm modelling this 'foldable' dock widget after what I remember Photoshop panels used to be like.

It's a work in progress, but would like to hear constructive suggestions.

Might as well help get this channel off to a flying start!

What's your favourite switch (key type) and why? What would you like to try but haven't yet and what have you tried but wasn't for you?

 

Working on a class that I'd like to use in a library (not for work) and think I'd appreciate external opinions!

If not, where else could I post code for critique? Thanks

 

They're noisy, clacky, impossible to use in an office, in your house without headphones, perhaps even annoying neighbours, need effort to make them work on USB, so why do people love them so much?

I've tested two. Didn't like them because sometimes if you don't hit the keys head on, they move a bit to the side with the spring and that's jarring on your fingers.

Where do you stand on the debate?

Also, first post, so what better a topic!

 

A great way to learn the basics. It'll be old, but that's ok. It's going to cover all the shell basics and then more. It's still going to be useful, it'll cost you pennies, you'll be able to dip into it when you want, and you'll be giving to a good cause.

 

Macro keyboards are mini programmable USB keyboards that can be pressed to trigger shortcuts, a sequence of keypresses etc. They can have several layers so switching to a different one will trigger different keypresses from the same key, so e.g. different IDEs can be represented.

I've just bought one with a view to setting up shortcuts for debugging. Each IDE has its own unique keys for navigating through the code, so I figure it'll be nice to just press one key to start debugging and one key to step into instead of a combination of ctrl+whatever etc

Do you use one? If so, what do you use it for and what size do you use? Is it too big / too small?
