rollin

works fine for me too

install synaptic and your basically there man

What’s my basically there man? (Or should I say who is my basically there man?) I don’t think I’ve installed this. Is it like the Linux version of Bonzi Buddy?

</ smart arse little shit >

Sorry erm… how did the manager get in the balloon? Otherwise it sort of implies there’s a whole staff of people on the balloon in order to warrant a manager.

This actually made me laugh out loud, it’s so fucking irredeemably awful 😂

I don’t think you can have spreadsheets with multiple “sub sheets” (can’t think of an unambiguous name for them - basically the equivalent of browser tabs)

Pretty sure there’s no way to have graphical charts either.

I catch myself too often thinking that this is what it’d be like to be mauled to death in the jungle by a tiger.

Me: “Oh aren’t you a cute little kitty hey?”
Tiger: *pounces*
Me: “Blurrgh oof gosh your fur is sooo soft!!”
*violently mauls with paw*
Me: “Oh wow such huge toe beans!!”
*continues violently mauling and biting*
Me: *happy gurgling sound of blood filling up my trachea*

It basically means dodging legal restrictions on investigation by using illegal (or at least inadmissible) means to obtain evidence, and once the police have it, they look for legal ways to get that same information.

So everywhere “has it”, the question is whether they use it. I don’t know if there’s reason to believe that EU police forces use such methods more or less than their US counterparts.

My cat did pretend once to eat some crisps I’d given her. She was sat on a chair looking at me pleadingly, so I put a couple in front of her and after a sniff she “accidentally” knocked them on to the floor whilst pretending to eat them.

a machine capable of running Wasteland 2

Is there even such a machine on God’s good earth? It’s definitely a good game, but absolutely blighted by instability & CTDs last time I tried it a few years ago.

Where do I purchase whatever this guy was smoking?

I wonder what difference it makes when the user isn’t using English. They don’t mention that they aren’t considering this and don’t mention it on their How it Works page, but they do in the paper’s abstract: “Finally, our focus on English-language prompts overlooks the additional biases that may emerge in other languages.”

They do also reference a study by another team that does show differences in bias based on input language which concludes, “Our experiments on several LLMs show that incorporating perspectives from diverse languages can in fact improve robustness; retrieving multilingual documents best improves response consistency and decreases geopolitical bias”

The subject of how and what type of bias is captured by LLMs is a pretty interesting subject that’s definitely worthy of analysis. Personally I do feel they should more prominently highlight that they’re just looking at English language interactions; it feels a bit sensationalist/click-baity at the moment and I don’t think they can reasonably imply that LLMs are inherently biased towards “male, white, and Western” values just yet.

I presume that’s the owner’s name lol

Did she say how often they went up there? I’d be worried my cat would just stay up there all the time and I’d never get any cuddles

my information might be out of date yeah! I’ve just skimmed their wikipedia which hasn’t helped clear things up! Seems they did have difficulties around 2011 - “After two decades in decline, Philips went through a major restructuring, shifting its focus from electronics to healthcare.”

Then, “On 29 January 2013, it was announced that Philips had agreed to sell its audio and video operations to the Japan-based Funai Electric for €150 million […] Funai was to pay a regular licensing fee to Philips for the use of the Philips brand.[59] The purchase agreement was terminated by Philips in October because of breach of contract[61] and the consumer electronics operations remained under Philips”

It’s a long wiki article with a hell of a lot of transfers and acquisitions, and it’s not clear how up to date some sections are. So I’m not sure what the current situation is.

Phillips is another one not on that list. European company that AFAIK have mostly resisted the enshittification urge.

Same. This hardware keyboard is taking up potential screen real-estate.

If you want a hardware keyboard, just use a bluetooth one, you can get folding ones which fold up pretty small.

If you’re a firefox person, there’s an add-on called Peertube Companion which will convert peertube links to use your instance. So for me, that link takes me to peertube.wtf rather than peertube.gravitywell.xyz

Apparently it will also redirect you to your peertube instance when you watch a video on YouTube that also exists on peertube (I’ve never had this happen though! Not sure how it does the comparision - hashes I suppose?)

Ah ok that’s one I’d heard (the other being Day-see-ah like the other guy said). Glad to have it cleared up, thanks!

I didn’t even know Dacia was its own brand before Renault got it!

I’d love to know how you pronounce it though - specifically the ‘C’. Do you (i.e. Romanians) pronounce it like an S or a K or something else??

Sorry to hear that man. Aphantasia?
