You can’t properly hate somewhere until you’ve lived there…

If you think you’ll be safe, then go. Travel broadens the mind, even if you go with preconceived ideas.

Just built a new pc, the first for a few years but probably the 20th or so I’ve made in total. This one’s a home server, replacing an HP ML110 Gen 9. It’s running proxmox with a dozen linux vms and is performing very well so far.

• Ryzen 5700X
• ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS, AMD B550 (Full linux compatibility)
• 48gb of ddr4 (32 new, 16 re-used)
• 2tb nvram (I have a nas for bigger storage)

Cheap PSU, half a case nailed to a wall (seriously. I keep it in a cupboard). A fanless gpu just to get it booting. Stock cpu fan and that’s about it. Idles at around 50 watts, which is less than half of the ML, and is almost silent.

Not sick, no. But if I know it’s AI, it does have less value to me. It can still be an amusing distraction if it was cleverly prompted, but there’s no thought gone into the generation.

Real art reflects not only the technical skill of the artist, but the effort they put in, their life experiences that made them look at something in a particular way, and their soul. No matter how good AI gets technically, it’ll never have that. But maybe it will be able to fake something that’s almost indistiguishable, like how lab grown diamonds can only be told from natural diamonds by someone with many years of experience.

Why do you view it with such horror? Do you see it as the start of AI taking over everything and the end of humanity?

I’m not a developer at any of these sites, but a couple of guesses:

1. They genuinely think relative dates are a more user friendly experience.

2. They know they serve old content, but want it to appear relevant. I’ve seen social media do this on several platforms where they obscure the date entirely on content that is not very fresh. This can be frustrating when you’re searching for an answer to a technical question and do find advice, to only find out after trying it that it refers to a version of the software that’s now very out of date.

3. SEO. Tricks like this might help the page rank higher in search engines. (I don’t know, I’m not an expert and SEO annoys me, but it feels like something designers might do to trick the engines)

Neither is a technical reason, it’s going to be about design, marketing and aesthetics.

Ublock will block what’s displayed, but not show you the actual. Something like UserScripts would allow you to extract the dates from the html and display them, or perhaps some css tweaks to change how things are displayed. But these would need tailoring for every single site you want and be liable to break if they change anything on their end.

Alternatively, you may wish to search sites for their Accessibility settings, or explore software that tries to do this for you - or even contact the sites and ask them to make the dates more readable on accessibility grounds.

Nice. It’ll be good for most of the world to not have to rely on an increasingly unstable US export market for cpus.

Never heard of it, but isn’t it the case that if it is shut down, that group of people will just move elsewhere as they have before?

That’s fun, but it’s just a third party summary of your posting history, not what Reddit is using.

I hope this sack of shit burns to death in his own crappy creation some day.

Whilst I share your sentiment, Elon Musk did not create Tesla Motors.

Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning did. Musk only got involved, and later inserted himself on the board and ultimately took it over, after they sought him out for capital investment. I often wonder what they think about that decision today.

A reasonably unbiased write up

So you need the self control required to add this extension for those sites you don’t have the self control not to visit too often?

If it prevents us having another crappy week thanks to the like of Crowdstrike, good.

Because Musk has turned it into somewhere that hate speech is not only tolerated, but encouraged.

Lemmy is literally the antithesis of X, no wonder you’re being downvoted.

Why are you cross posting content from a hate site to lemmy?

A perfect use for them - controlled environment, difficult conditions, repetitive and predictable workflow.

But I’m puzzled by the design - why have a cab? Wouldn’t a more efficient layout be a whole-bed platform with all systems underneath?

Play store is impossible to browse to see what’s worth trying for this reason.

I bought NMS when it was released, and hated it. Ok, it’s legendary as something that was released before it was ready and that undoubtedly spoiled it for me - endless running and nothing to do, and I’m sure it’s better now.

Elite Dangerous was quite fun for a while, but I got frustrated with the flying aspect quite a bit and after several deaths I gave up. I’m old enough to remember the first Elite, which was even more unforgiving.

Freelancer sounds interesting - I started searching and landed on the Amazon page for it, which told me " You last purchased this item on 29 Apr 2005". I have no recollection of the thing, but then I have played a lot of games. Still, worth a revisit - I’ll take a look. Thanks.

Ok, but apart from that, it’s okay, right?

Seriously - what is a good space exploration/trading game that doesn’t require a huge learning curve? (I’m not a fan of flying stuff and too much trading is boring, but I do like exploring)

“Free speech” for these people has only meant for them.

ecological compatibility,

The what now?

I’m not American, but CVE’s absolutely form the cornerstone of IT security, and are the trusted keystone of industry security globally.
