But like, if you were running for president and about to speak to a crowd you’d probably low key phone half-pull and google the name and do the glance, right? Like ‘what city am I even in’ type shit, Trump is beyond dumb

My only interpretation is that Trump is basically senile grandpa at thanksgiving dinner making a gay jab at someone for having 2 pierced ears. I don’t even get how he could genuinely and sincerely mix this up
The day of a new patch in WoW I said in general chat “wow, they finally put a confirmation when you type /gquit , crazy how long it took” and sit in town and watch peoples guild names disappear
The guides, basically a quick and dirty walkthrough on setting it up, hopefully a few explanations about things, and a handful of common troubleshooting tips. Also pointers to a handful of communities that have helpful info in case something obscure pops up.
Basically, teach a man how to fish, as opposed to giving him a couple.
I think a lot of people who would otherwise dabble with a DIY home server never try because it’s pretty technical (beyond typical ‘build a pc’ stuff) so I think the education that would come with the hardware would be appreciated by many. Help them get their foot in the door by making the dive a little less scary. Nothing too over the top but point them to the places where people hang out discussing the more technical crap for when that day comes
I’m probably an ideal candidate for something like this but I’d much rather have someone walk me through setting my own thing up, rather than them handing me a bunch of preconfigured stuff that leaves me just as clueless.
If it came bundled around a bunch of DIY guides explaining the hows and the whys, it’d be far more appealling
Better yet do some low speed low elevation bullshit in their airspace in desolate bumfuck nowheresville and let the locals relay it. Who did that? Nobody really knows
I think the way to win is to understand the algorithm and juke it for good stuff. I saw an ad for THC gummies a while back, free sample, so I started reading the comments, clicked through to the site, backed out, read the comments again, then clicked back in and got a free sample. I spent so much time messing around with this random ad that the next thing I knew, every ad was for free THC gummies (just pay shipping but cheaper than actually buying from Cycling Frog or wherever). Eventually it reverts back towards a mean but if you see something cool you can def trick the whole algorithm to only hand you that cool stuff
Facebook still has that but they obscured it in favor of their dumb algorithm whipping up totally random things and ads.
To get to it click the 3 lines or ‘more’, then find ‘feeds’ and select that, then choose groups or friends or whatnot, and it’ll show you those posts sorted by most recent. No way to make this default.
But the algorithm is so dumb because it takes into account how long you pause on a post and seems to weigh that higher than other things - for example if you see an ad you hate, for like a slot machine game app, and you click ‘see less ads like this’, the amount of time you spend clicking through menu options while on that ad will make the algorithm give you more ads tangentially related to slot machine apps, despite you basically saying “I hate these kind of ads”. Really dumb algorithm. Even reporting some fly-by-night obvious scam ad impersonating a brand will lead you to see only those type of scam ads. Really really dumb.
Even you pausing over the post you did in order to take a screenshot, that’ll make you see more of those types of things
No, anything Google shows you is kosher and totally symbiotic. A website being shown on Google is at the site owner’s discretion - if they allow search engines to crawl they get the benefit of exposure, and the search engine gets the benefit of having relevant hits and ad revenue and all that. Most sites want click-throughs so it’s usually in their best interest to let search engines list their sites.
Google isn’t exploiting anyone, kinda the opposite, since site owners don’t pay for any ads or exposure (but that exposure has so much value that they’ll pay for SEO). Site owners can decline and Google abides. Anything on Google is on Google with consent.
No, the issue is that anything AI creates is by definition derivative. Google doesn’t whip up generative content, it points you to content.
OpenAI is claiming that they can’t do shit without scraping copyrighted works and we all know that’s a load of BS because we’re adrift in a sea of royalty-free text. Critical mass happened well over a decade ago. The amount of new random crap hosted on the internet in the past 30 days would probably take 500 years for one person to digest. Bear at a stream watching an impossibly large amount of salmon jumping
As a federal employee I’m really not understanding how assaulting a federal employee under any circumstance could ever be construed as ‘law and order’. This guy is like a 7 year old pretending to be a mafia thug
I don’t work in tech but I’d spend my own dime in a heartbeat on my own hardware and possibly even software if I spent any amount of time doing anything not strictly related to the work I’m performing for the employer. Kinda like how a mechanic is nothing without tools and most maintain their set. I’d want no ambiguity - I was using my stuff to do my stuff and employer has absolutely no say in how I utilize my stuff when I’m utilizing it for purposes unrelated to them, and there can be no claim that they are in any way even tangentially responsible in me doing anything aside from the stuff they are explicitly paying me to do. “We provided them with software and hardware so we feel entitled to some ownership” lol. If you give a corporate entity a chance to leave you bleeding and bankrupt in courts over a million dollar idea they’ll not blink an eye
It’s pretty typical for Vance. Yank the angriest incel imaginable out of their basement, give them a suit and a fresh haircut, shove them in front of a microphone and you get JD Vance. No exaggeration whatsoever
If Trump gets in, we set back the pro-life cause and free markets by a generation at least,'" Erickson revealed.
This guy is beyond naive. First thing Trump would do is go back on everything he said and all the republicans would do mental gymnastics to explain how it’s all congruent and justified and nothing was a bold-faced lie to the American people. And then Trump would contradict them all by saying he was in fact lying and it’s all part of a game that he’s winning, and they’d all bend the knee. Fool me 398 times
They assaulted someone for doing their job. Not just anyone - a federal employee protected under 18 USC 111, on account of that federal employee’s performance of their duties, in violation of 18 USC 111, and then make a statement acting like they’re the reasonable party in this incident.
i’d say they act like a bunch of 8 year old bullies but most kids are wise enough not to draw this kind of heat
Good point, the more I think about this the more absurd it gets. A handful of white xenophobes want to inadvertantly make 2nd generation Somali and 3rd generation Hmong the only truly legitimate citizens in America, shit is cracking me up
key word is ‘or’. You can be President if you’re a natural born citizen, and they’re suggesting that in order to be a natural born citizen one must prove that at some point in their family’s history, two citizens produced offspring on each side of the family.
Which is absolutely bonkers because there are probably a hundred million white people in America that have no fucking clue if their great-great-great grandparents or great-great-great-great grandparents obtained citizenship. Someone’s citizenship is illegitimate until proven otherwise with this kind of reasoning. We’re gonna need a bigger prison system lol, maybe convert the western half of Iowa into an open-air detention center? The implications are hilarious to me
So, in other words, the burden of proof in regard to citizenship would be on the citizen in question, and they’d have to show at which point in their genealogical history both parents were citizens and had a child? Sounds totally not messy at all
It’d be a little harder for a lot of civilians to be indifferent towards this whole war if it saunters up and starts banging on their front door
Edit: it’s a metaphor. Dude asked how 3-4 bombs would end the war and most things in a war aren’t meant to outright end it. Right now the whole thing is ‘out of sight out of mind’ for most people but if targeted strikes on infrastructure hit local news you bet you’re ass it’d be demoralizing
