threats from Musk to step down if the deal is rejected

A threat is a good start, but is it a promise?

Well FQDN you too

Probably to make them appear right in clockwise order! Sometimes two wrongs make a right. Except when lexical ordering is used.

But… why would you place them anticlockwise when the hands move in a clockwise direction

Over the years I have found transporters to be the most annoying plot device in all of Star Trek. I don’t think there’s any situation that couldn’t be solved with a transporter with some creative writing (or create so many paradoxes).

They’re the Star Trek equivalent of Rian Johnson’s Holdo maneuver (ramming other ships when going to hyperspace).

This isn’t new. European companies and governments have been avoiding US cloud providers ever since the CLOUD Act was introduced seven years ago.

I have some exes that I wanted to and could be friends with (one I was for several years). But it just doesn’t fly with a new domestic partnership. I can tell my current girlfriend that I’m going to see female friends, but going out with friends who I’ve previously had sexual relations with is stretching it. I wouldn’t want my girlfriend to do that and so I won’t do it to her.

It makes me a bit sad, but I have effectively ended those friendships by no longer agreeing to seeing them.

I also have exes that I wouldn’t wish on my biggest enemy and I avoid them like the plague.

Typically the competitive multiplayer ones fail because of kernel-level anticheat.

50% increase per 18 months yields

0.03 * 1.5^t=0.05 =>

t = 1.26 18-month periods,

or 1.26*18/12 = 1.9 years before the market share is 5%.

They clearly have not been to a Swedish breakfast buffet.

The US has been on this path at least since Reagan was president.

This cynicism towards LLMs here truly boggles my mind. So many people seem to build their entire identity around feeling superior about themselves due to all the products and services they don’t use.

I think they’re just scared as hell of the possible negative effects and react instinctively. But the cat is out of the bag and downvoting / hating on every post on Lemmy that mentions positive sides is not going to help them steer the world into whatever alternative destiny that they’re hoping for.

The thing that puzzles me is that this is typically the hallmark of older more conservative generations, and I imagine that Lemmy has a relatively young demographic.

The anti-AI hivemind here will hate me for saying it but I’m willing to bet $100 that this saves a significant number of lives. It’s also indicative of how insufficient traditional mental health institutions are.

Not a funny line but I laughed out loud when selling items in Lethal Company for the first time. It’s an absurd game made with humor, and the multiplayer gameplay creates a lot of hilarious situations.

I’d say most of the GoF patterns evolved in a C++ toolchain (and then the Java junior devs started a cargo cult around them that has survived to this day). The book was never as language-independent as the authors envisioned it to be—in fact I’d argue that with the right programming language design the patterns happen implicitly or are obsolete.

Oh you sweet summer child.

I don’t understand what there is to be obsessed about. Or rather, what do you do? Study ever finer details of what exactly happened over the course of the war? To me it seems mostly “on this day some people killed some other people, and on this other day more people were killed”.

I haven’t been using it forever because I was just recently forced to switch to it from Pocket (courtesy of Mozilla’s enshittification journey), but Instapaper seems to have been going strong since 2008.
