I rarely do. I don’t understand the point of it. I just ate and now you want me to eat more? If anything - we should’ve started with the dessert.

At my home. It’s where all my supplies are. I have just enough that I can just sit out the first few weeks of absolute chaos and then I’ll see where I go from there. I’d probably try and find a remote summer cabin somewhere by a lake which hopefully has solar power already installed but if not, I’ll figure it out. Main thing that it’s remote and has a wood stove and access to food and water. Hopefully in two floors as well so that I can collapse the stairs and sleep safely upstairs.

It would be great if there wasn’t thousands of other people in your city who had the exact same idea.

No, but plenty of other people would probably claim that many of them are.

Seems to be a touchy subject for you so I’ll just leave it at this. Take care.

I don’t. That’s what makes it even more bizzare. I don’t get what they have to gain from trying to stain an anonymous account.

Which is no different than Iran supplying Russia with drones.

Well that’s just disingenuous and you know it. There’s a big difference between offensive and defensive drones. Iran is helping Russia kill Ukrainians. Ukraine is helping Gulf nations (who didn’t start this war) defend themselves from attacks from Iran. No Iranians are dying from Ukrainian drones.

Do they support it or just not criticize them for it due to being so reliant on US weaponry?

I hope you got squared away ok

Nah, they’re still on it - and considering how much you’ve been discussing AI here too, it’s more than likely you’ve run into them as well.

Being careful with your words helps to some extent, but then there are people like this who don’t really care what you actually say. If they perceive you to be on the wrong side of an issue they care deeply about, they slap this cartoon-villain stereotype on you and treat it as fact. It’s not about what you said - it’s about who they think says those kinds of things. It’s intentional misinterpretation and ad hominems all the way down. No point even trying to engage with their insane troll logic.

That hasn’t really been my experience. Lemmy seems nicer on the surface because most of the userbase is ideologically aligned, so conflict is less likely. But once you make the wrong noises about something, plenty of people show up ready to prove just how mean and horrible they can actually be.

Also, on Reddit I never had anyone follow me around trying to cause reputational damage by spreading false accusations about me.

Media likes to focus on girls but it’s still worth remembering that 3 out of 4 people killed by suicide in the US are men.

LLMs not being AI is one of the most common confidently wrong statements I see spread here as fact pretty much every day.

We’ve had AI systems since 1956.

It simply refers to any system designed to perform a cognitive task that would normally require a human. For an LLM that task is generating natural language. For an Atari chess opponent it’s playing chess. They’re both still AI - narrow AI, but AI nonetheless.

People seem to expect general intelligence from these systems, and when they don’t get it, statements like this pop up. But AGI is not synonymous with AI. It’s also an AI system, yes, but just a subcategory of AI - same as GenAI is. No company claims to have a true AGI system.

So much confusion could be avoided if people didn’t use the same words to mean different things.

I did GRUB_DEFAULT="1>2" instead so it now loads the previous version instead - I think. I can only hope it’s fixed for the next update then, but for now everything seems to work fine.

I always felt like when I was a kid we got snow in November - half a meter of it by Christmas - and now there’s less of it and it comes later. But when I look up the actual snowfall stats for my childhood years, it’s not that different from what we get now.

It’s not all explained by climate change, but it does play a factor - especially with extreme weather events. Still, good to remember that weather ≠ climate.

I’m a self-employed home improvement contractor. I fix and install stuff in people’s homes. Yeah, I’m proud of what I do and think it’s important - and most of my customers seem genuinely grateful for my work too.

I cannot express how not interested I’m in doing that. I’m not a power user - I only need the web browser to run so I can watch YouTube videos.

When I hold shift during startup and then go to advanced options and select the previous version it all goes back to normal but I need to do this manually every single time.

The toilet in my chidhood home probably. Got about 10 more years to go before my current toilet catches up.
