it looks like this was posted twice around the same time. since the other one has more comments and upvotes, I’ll remove this one

Personally, when I’m reading an article, I skim past the parts that explain climate change, unless it has some new bit of information (ex. updates to historical trends). It’s not because I doubt climate change, but because I’m pretty familiar with the core points already.

I think it is helpful to talk about it in longer articles where you have room to dive into the topic, and put the current topic into a relevant wider context. However, I don’t think we should require it for the sake of mentioning it. It’s not effective at changing minds when its done like that.

I agree that the last article should have included the wider context. I would also be concerned if there is a growing pattern of not mentioning it when it needs to be. On this last point, while it’s more difficult, I would prefer if they analyzed sentiment and phrasing rather than counting mentions.

I agree with the point you are making, that this study shows that there is a risk of people using these systems to generate biological weapons.

However, in this particular study, they created bacteriophages. Those are viruses that attack bacteria, and the focus of that research is usually around creating antibiotic treatments (fight bacterial infections with viruses that kill them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

Yea I wouldn’t think twice if someone said “sub” or “sublemmy”, but “subreddit” would be confusing anywhere that isn’t reddit

No problem!

That’s the one I forgot to check 🤦 I looked in !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

Thanks!

If you set your home instance (top right, button with a home icon, enter slrpnk.net in your case), then it will open the page where you can subscribe directly. There’s a longer guide here with more tips: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities

If you aren’t sure what you want to subscribe to, there is a list pinned on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca @blaze@piefed.zip had an amazing list of non-politics communities that unfortunately I can’t seem to find right now.

Once Lemmy releases the big v1 update, both Lemmy and Piefed will have multi-communities that you can subscribe to in order to get a lot of similar content.

As for your requests specifically, check out these. Some are more relevant than others, and the small ones grow as interested people post to them:

• !imadethis@lemmy.zip
• !sewing@lemmy.world
• !diy@beehaw.org
• !artshare@lemmy.world
• !crochet@lemmy.ca (as an example of a community that grew over time)
• !sewingrepairing@sh.itjust.works

Also the proportions of the kid, the cart, and the milk is all off.

The cart is way too short and long/wide, and you can’t stack milk on top of other milk that neatly

The TV even kept the same reflection on it

Unless someone has more information on this, I’m going to chalk this up to AI-generated rage bait.

The kitchen area still has the same items on that shelf, there’s an ugly hole where the old CRT TV is (despite the room being “finished” looking), the reflection on the TV is still the same, and the patio turned into an office meeting room. I’m not going to spend time on perspective calculations, but something about the beams on the roof and the placement of the railing look off.

Out of curiosity, why doesn’t the tag go with the cat? It looks like it could fit on a collar.

Wouldn’t it be easier for the person or clinic to keep paper records instead?

Added more context to the title

What a scrungy otter 😄

Thank you for the tip, I’ll try to remember that one

What’s idiotic is that OpenAI broke the law, got caught, and was successful enough in turning it into a marketing stunt (aimed at investors) that other companies want to do it too.

With this precedent, all you need to do in order to get away with hacking is to change your user agent to something an AI agent uses. /s

Unfortunately some of the stuff that allows fingerprinting falls into a convenience vs privacy argument. It allows a website / web app to make changes to display things more appropriately, or have helpful functionality. That’s why when you use a browser that is very strict about fingerprinting, some stuff will break.

An even simpler example is the screen aspect ratio. On a small screen, you want to use as much of the space as you can, but that information can be used for fingerprinting. This was annoying on browsers like mullvad, before they updated the aspect ratio to something more modern.

That doesn’t excuse companies that abuse that data for malicious fingerprinting.

I don’t think that’s what the user is asking for though. I read it as wishing that the games didn’t have those security requirements, so that they could play the games on Linux.

The joke in the meme isn’t “thank you to Linux maintainers for not compromising security”, its a joke about those games themselves.

Also their point about toxicity is valid, and I’ve found that it varies by distro. Without being specific, in case I just had a bad experience, some support communities were very hostile to users asking questions. If the new person didn’t phrase their question perfectly, using all the correct terminology, the support person refused to answer the question. It was a thread of “You said X, but X actually means Y, so I don’t understand your question. Did you mean Z”, when it is obvious from context what they meant.

I didn’t realize that Ruby Tuesdays was a chain restaurant, so that’s probably the reason it’s a shitpost

It’s still wholesome though. Maybe that particular Ruby Tuesdays has an excellent team. Or maybe they like spreading good vibes and every review is like that 😄

There are people who use and prefer Bing

🙂‍↕️

I looked for a photo of a sea otter with fruit, but all I got was AI slop. So here is one enjoying some crunchy

Apparently it is both
