On one hand, I agree with all the concerns listed in the article. Of course it’s all in the implementation. Digital ID doesn’t necessarily have to be terribly implemented and a privacy nightmare, but I doubt any current government would implement it any other way.

That said, it makes me pretty grumpy that people are happy enough to have corporations like google, amazon, facebook, et al know everything about them, but somehow a government ID is a bridge too far.

I still do not think he deserved to die.

That’s fine, but I think you can probably understand why other commenters do feel that way, given his profiting from hatred and the deaths of others.

your statement which mentions that someone can « deserve to die » because of his political view opposed to your

That’s not what I said at all though, is it.

Conservatives don’t deserve to die, disingenuous manipulator recruiting young adults to fascism do.

If all you see is someone debating asking to be proven wrong then you’re a naive idiot.

I’m also not from the US. youre right we’re living in fucked up times.

At first, I was kind of sickened by the rhetoric in these threads too.

The thing is, US legislative, executive, judiciary, and even the media, are all corrupt. There is no truth and no justice.

This guy was profiting by engaging in a culture war, and manipulating anyone he could into signing up. He was recruiting people to an ideology intent on persecuting minorities.

There are people celebrating in these threads, and it is sickening. However, I do believe that he deserved to die, and his death is much less sickening than the atrocities performed by the conservatives every day. If it were a time of war, we would’ve taken one of their generals. We are all lessened by it, but the world is undoubtedly better for it.

This is pretty much my take, almost exactly.

I don’t game so don’t have to worry about powerful GPUs et cetera.

Starting with the right hardware just makes everything easy.

I’ve also been using debian stable since forever. Avoiding jumping across to the latest shiny new OS has just made everything boring and predictable and maintainable.

Fair enough I guess.

Bike lights are intended to be super annoying to the point of being obnoxious here. They need to be bright and flashy enough for oblivious drivers to actually notice you.

Oh nice. I’ve heard of a fundamental attribution error before but didnt realise it was this.

You commonly see it written as “we judge ourselves by our inte twins but others by their actions”.

Using the examples in that wikipedia page, if we are late for work it doesn’t matter because we intended to be on time. If others are late it indicates a lack of planning or dedication.

Its a tricky game to play.

For you, if you know it will take you 3s to go from sitting comfortably to walking down the aisle, then fine - you can wait.

Most people need time to get organised. They’re also unable to focus on getting organised unless they’re standing up because that is one step in getting organised. They have no ability to prioritise the steps which are presently actionable.

Yeah. The dunning kruger effect is a real problem here.

I saw a meme saying something like, gen AI is a real expert in everything but completely clueless about my area of specialisation.

As in… it generates plausible answers that seem great but they’re just terrible answers.

I’m a consultant I’m in a legal adjacent field. 20 years deep. I’ve been using a model from hugging face over the last few months.

It can save me time by generating a lot of boiler plate with references et cetera. However it very regularly overlooks critically important components. If I didnt know about these things then I wouldn’t know it was missing from the answer.

So really, it cant help you be more knowledgeable, it can only support you at your existing level.

Additionally, for complex / very specific questions, it’s just a confidently incorrect failure. It sucks that it cant tell you how confident it is with a given answer.

Yeah i was going to point this out. Its not just the hitches. All of these assholes have backed in, and deliberately gone in further than the boundary of the bay to minimise how far their nose overhangs the other end.

Don’t do that.

Flashing tail light batteries last for many hours.

Riders often leave them on just so you dont need to remember to turn them on again when you depart.

Even if the battery did go flat, you’re not stranded.

I know you mean well but it might not be appreciated as much as you think.

Lots of love for LibreOffice.

Its a great opensource project that just keeps chugging along being great.

My team and I use it exclusively in our consultancy. Complex documents and spreadsheets all day long. LO never gets tired.

Without LO id be beholden to Microsoft.

Apache should really release the rights to the name OpenOffice and let LO have it.

The ribbon UI sure is shit.

LO has a command palette which is handy when looking for obscure functions. Shift esc.

It really is.

Its a pretty remarkable testament to the power of just lying constantly.

I dont think the US has a monopoly on shitty history, but only the US is trying to bring it back.

Not only print more of those books, but exhaust the library’s budget for other books.

LOL what?

Are you saying Americans will rise up once Trump imposes martial law in the next place?

Sure, sure. I’m certain thats the line Americans will not allow him to cross.

Mozilla is in a death spiral.

IIRC one of the reasons they discontinued support for android was because the other fork exists.

Lmao. Just straight up idiots up in here.
