I really only need like 2 or 3 mm of extra nail on one thumb to open oranges and grapefruits perfectly fine. Anything longer than that and it becomes unwieldy and unhygienic.

I accept that people sometimes keep their nails long. That acceptance comes with a caveat that I will not be eating anything handled by hands with long nails.

Who let JD Vance onto Lemmy?

I have a feeling USB drives will be readable for a long time to come, considering that we still use the standard almoat everywhere, nearly 28 years after its introduction.

That said, copying the data from old archives into new formats is always a good idea

Edit: I was envisioning actual external hard disk or solid state drives accessible using a USB connection. Thumb drives and other ultra-portable data formats are notorious for poor data integrity over time.

Hopefully this puts LSD on a path to being easier to research and potentially becoming part of an approved therapy for certain conditions.

Yeah I get a big popup that says “Plaintext is exclusive to subscribers” on the direct link. However if I enable reader mode, navigate to the author’s page, then navigate back, it works fine

Adjusted for time since release, 4 more to go!

I think I know what you mean. It’s like the Internet has allowed us to share how fucked up each and every corner of the world is and it aggregates the worst of it and puts it on full display. So now I can’t really feel anything when I see headlines as awful as this, I just turn into an unfeeling psychopath. Luckily my moral brain and my feeling brain are different, and the moral brain still wants to do something about this injustice, however I can.

If you distribute encrypted materials you also need to distribute a means of decryption. I’m willing to bet a honeypot was used to trick him into distributing his csam right to the government hinself.

NFTs are great for replacing things like deeds or vehicle titles, where we need paperwork to verify ownership. But the problem arises when it’s cryptographically hard (meaning exceedingly unlikely on reasonable timescales) to reverse fraudulent transfers of those documents. Cutting out a centralized authority at the price of making the system more vulnerable for gullible people is almost always not worth it.

From the article:

Sure, mobile editing apps exist, but they’re not really suitable for much outside of small tweaks like skin smoothing and color adjustment

Pretty bad ad for phone apps if that’s their take on them

Average is better means fewer incidents overall. But when there are incidents, the damages for those incidents tend to be much worse. This means the victims are more likely to lawyer up and go after the company responsible for the AI that was driving, and that means that the company who makes the self-driving software better be prepared to pay for those worst case scenarios, which will now be 100% their fault.

Uber can avoid liability for crashes caused by their human drivers. They won’t be able to do the same when their fleet is AI. And when that happens, AI sensibilities will be measured my human metrics because courts are run by humans. The mistakes that they make will be VERY expensive ones, because a minor glitch can turn an autonomous vehicle from the safest driving experience possible to a rogue machine with zero sense of self-preservation. That liability is not worth the cost savings of getting rid of human drivers yet, and it won’t be for a very long time.

The problem with self-driving cars isn’t that it’s worse than human drivers on average, it’s that it’s SO INCREDIBLY BAD when it’s wrong that no company would ever assume the liability for the worst of its mistakes.

Literally everything in the world has political implications. Get over yourself

They’re saying that google services are dominant and anticompetitive, but not dominant BECAUSE they’re anticompetitive.

Even if they were playing fair with competitors, they would still be #1 because they were that good. But because they weren’t okay with giving competitors a fair chance, they resorted to anticompetitive practices that hurt consumers, and now this ruling is going to hurt google in return. They could have played nice and everything would have been better for everyone, but they didn’t so here we are

Palworld is a dormant game, much like Terraria, that will spur to life with content updates as it approaches completion.
