Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

And they didn’t mention politics at all, they said not everyone wants to be reminded of the orange shitstain. I agree with them.

The finance ministry of the world?

Lemmy is more reddit-like, while mastodon is more twitter-like.

They do federate, so yes, you should be able to see, like and comment between them.

Good. Maybe the envoy can explain the concept of freedom of expression to them. It’s going to come as rather a shock…

…ask Turing? Who suggested that? The Turing test is not “let’s ask Alan” 😋

Delicious 😁

Several of those thoughts have absolutely zero to do with AI, though. Well, none of them, because it’s ml, not ai, but that’s a different battle.

Yeah, he did that… IN 2016. Fucking bots.

Then it is long obsolete, because to a common observer, something like chatgpt could easily pass that test if it wasn’t instructed to clarify it is a machine at every turn.

This particular photo is shopped, but i think false-perspective Illusions might actually be a good path…

The Turing test is about whether it passes as human, not whether it is human.

Shouldn’t have not pooped for three days.

That’s a matter of preference - off pizza i prefer green ones!

Also, for this, strangely enough it works better with the sliced ones than the whole ones. They’re a bit saltier. Like me 😋

Try pepperoni and black olives, that’s also pretty good.

Suçuk/mushroom is wonderful!

That’s very interesting, thanks!

So, basically, the US is very upset that the money they give is being used… The solution seems obvious…

Public bulletin boards are forbidden in, iirc, Brazil, or at least in the capital. Made for a very different view.

We truly love in interesting times. Fuck, I wish we didn’t.
