I mean, global warming us slowly into extinction is a pretty AI way to go about it

+1, I have our thermostat kick down an extra degree at night to tell our bodies that it’s sleeping o’clock. It makes. A huge difference in the quality of sleep I get.

A warm shower or bath followed by cooling tricks your body into going into its sleep cycle and producing melatonin.

Let us know how it goes

The recycle bin? You mean the other landfill bin, right?

If: you’re a starred contact and call twice within 10 minutes and I happen to have the phone at hand and I’m pretty sure you have something important to say I’ll probably pick it up.

That happens about once or twice a year. We invented voicemail so we can speak when it works well for both parties.

Read the fine print too, a lot of these “mental health counseling services” have carve outs that stipulate that they can pass along data about your sessions to third parties (like your employer.) Most of them aren’t health care professionals so health care law doesn’t apply.

I wrote snapshot hooks for Arch that fire before installing or upgrading packages and I have a simple shell alias that I can use to fire off a manual snapshot any time I need one. If a package breaks in an inconvenient way and can’t just be dowgraded back to function or I have some other time pressure I can just point my root partition at a clone of my most recent snapshot and reboot to roll back. I don’t usually bother rebooting into a cloned snapshot to test changes as I can just perform the same steps to roll back and the automated rolling snapshots mean I don’t need to baby anything to have the same protection.

Friendships are formed via proximity and common interests. Go places with other people who enjoy the same hobbies and make an effort to get to know some of them.

Big open world RPG protagonist vibes

I can tell the difference between a good basic pair of headphones and garbage pretty easily. There’s a noticeable difference between basic cans and higher end cans too but it’s a 15-20% improvement for a 500-10000% price increase.

If someone’s happy with older airpods then more power to them, I don’t need much more than a pair of Sennheiser HD598s myself. Would I take HD800/820s if offered for free? Absolutely. Will I pay $1600+ for them, not today.

My RAID5 of 28 disks is ultra safe I tell you

Here’s an even easier hack than all of that :effort:

Just hold the power button down for about 10 seconds, ez-pz

Gimp 4.0 is on schedule for a 2040 release at this point

You can access Gmail over IMAP and pull down messages locally. If you do this; Back. Up. Your. Mbox.

Also, fun fact, you can move messages from a local mbox to Gmail while preserving read status and original dates if you want to add old email to Gmail for some reason.

+1, your list of browser extensions, list of plugins and list of available fonts are also available to anyone trying to fingerprint you. This idea that NAT will somehow obscure you enough to be anonymous online is security voodoo.

Yes, the machine that stays off 363 days of the year is such a security risk to my home network 🙄

I assume it’s a way to build a training dataset to fine tune a model over time. If they pay creatives for 2y while feeding the AI at some point they’ll no longer need humans in the loop (outside of spot checking or go/no-go judgements.) That’s how I’d get this off the ground anyway.

I’ve been waiting for this to happen. We’ve seen an absolutely huge increase in the number of readers who expect books to be a collection of specific tropes showing up in various scifi and fantasy book communities asking for book recommendations that match a chosen hyper specific trope collection. I’m not sure when this started but I’ve noticed more of it every year for a while.

I’ve been expecting someone to start churning out AI produced content (books, short videos, generated game plots) in the same collection of tropes style since generative AI really caught on back in ~2022. It’s amusing as hell that trashy-short-soap-opera-on-tiktok is where it really gained a hold first. I think we’re going to see a whole lot more of this across every form of media soon and I hope the flood doesn’t draw too many users away from legit content creators who work hard to produce their own content.

I mean, the horror of having to tick a box to use rotating v6 addresses. These are all solved problems, they’re not a flaw worth ignoring the entire ipv6 protocol over. Most major operating systems have moved to stable privacy preserving addresses by default, that’s true, but it’s not all that difficult to turn on address randomization and rotation either. And, hell, if you’re that married to NAT as security just use NAT66 and call it a day, nothing about NAT is exclusive to ipv4.
