A German warship blasted the Darth Vader theme on the Thames. 'No deeper message,' Navy says. by GarytheSnail in c/weirdnews@real.lemmy.fan

[-] GarytheSnail@programming.dev 15 points 2 months ago

I initially completely misunderstood "no deeper message" to mean "there is no message deeper than the one being sent". Like, what message are they trying to convey??

I guess they meant, "don't read into it".

Looks like you also ran over your sentence budget.

[OC] Menegazzia Terabrata lichen during a snow melt (programming.dev)

Went rock hounding up in the hills by a creek and found this one. There was snow on the ground still but it was wet and rainy. Love the gradient on this one.

I misidentified this as a shield lichen, it is actually Menegazzia Terabrata

Why does the time package only define durations up to Hour? (programming.dev)

I am doing a lot of work right now that requires day and year durations and I have to define those myself. I wonder why they didn't include those in the time package.

I have no photography background and I'm just using my S21 ultra camera. I found this one hard to get the lighting right. I also wish I had gotten a bit more of the left side of the tree in frame.

This was taken at the south end of Camano Island, Washington, around dusk. The tree is on the cliff about 60 feet above the rocky beach.

You’re going to need an SSD in order to play Final Fantasy 16 on PC by GarytheSnail in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

What were you storing your stuff on?

The first reasonable sized consumer ssds I remember were the original ocz line. What was it like onyx or agility? And that wasnt until almost 2010 ish.

2002 seems suuuuper early.

Too much detail in this error message from EA by GarytheSnail in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

[-] GarytheSnail@programming.dev 15 points 11 months ago

Would they surface that to the user anyway? That's something to log, not to tell the client that xyz service failed because of error 123.

It feels like there is always one more little thing that you can get done before hopping off. But then that turns into 10 other little things you can do. And the next thing you know it's the next day and the sun is coming up.

This looked like a completely alien world from this perspective. I was captivated by these tenticles reaching out from the fungus powdered wood.

I'll share a few more in the comments.

Google Researchers’ Attack Prompts ChatGPT to Reveal Its Training Data by GarytheSnail in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

How is this different than just googling for someone's email or Twitter handle and Google showing you that info? PII that is public is going to show up in places where you can ask or search for it, no?
