I think the disagreement or misunderstanding comes from the premise

If we had a different world where it was impossible to lie or hide anything, then a lot of our current problems would be gone. Meanwhile a lot of new problems might come up

In this world, if you can’t enforce that everyone stays completely open and honest, then it is in everyone’s best interest to keep certain pieces of information private

We do, but it’s a lot easier to have a personal device that you can bring into lectures and labs, and then take home with you.

With some classes, it is expected that you have a personal device. There are laptops that you can borrow, but again you need to go in to borrow and return it each day and download/upload your files each time.

IMO what we need is a student society Linux user group that advocates for classes to drop bad software and confirms that a particular class is ok. This would help non-linux users too since some of the windows-macos-only software is straight up spyware.

I do not and so I shouldn’t be one to judge

Is it data that could be recovered if needed? That’s where my concern is coming from. Not being able to back it up to fix OS issues might mean that you can’t back it up at all

I also have 2FA set up, let me know if you need that one

That sounds like a problem that you should deal with even if you stay on Windows 😄 Maybe I just enjoy organizing things

I had the same problem when I was in university. My concern with dual booting was if something went wrong, such as a bad windows update borking the bootloader. I didn’t have easy access to a second device and I couldn’t afford downtime during the term. There are also issues around clock sync or bios updates, and if you NEED windows for one course then its a pain to switch back and forth all day. Finally there are the unknown unknowns, I was new to Linux at the time and didn’t know what could go wrong.

I made do with WSL and switched over when I graduated. Looking back, I probably could have switched much sooner, but I get the concern

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-spirit

Its an umbrella term that is more common in North America

Two-spirit (also known as two spirit or occasionally twospirited,[a] or abbreviated as 2S,[b] especially in Canada) is a contemporary pan-Indian umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) social role in their communities.[2][3][4][5]

I meant in the case of the capybara

This crowd naming situation ended up on the same name as that one

I think this is still in line with the other commenters, since the main point was to go through a doctor for it. The doctor could figure out if stimulants would help, as opposed to other underlying issues like anemia

the ship was named the RRS Sir David Attenborough

Well that is a fun coincidence

Isn’t this pretty normal? World leaders give ceremonial gifts all the time, and its usually to the office rather than the individual

In Canada’s case

According to Global Affairs Canada, “all official gifts are handled in accordance with applicable Canadian laws, security requirements and government policies.”

Carney said the RCMP deactivated the revolver, meaning it is no longer able to fire live ammunition.

“The next thing that went through my mind is this is something for the war museum or a CAF museum or something like that,” Carney said. “It’s interesting and it relates to NATO and the bigger picture,” Carney said.

“We’re going to find the best home for it.”

Well fix as in, don’t give the LLM access to private repos in the first place.

But that would require Microsoft to admit that they were wrong

This sounds really bad for companies that have their repos on GitHub?

They should probably fix that before they get hit with lawsuits after a large scale leak of proprietary code.

It doesn’t sound like OP is mad at the creator, but annoyed at the increased number of projects that are abandoned

It’s hard to judge the longevity of a project, and LLMs can make a project look more stable and professional than it is. It’s fair to feel annoyed if you mess up that call and move your workflow to something that gets abandoned.

I’m not sure if I’d equate the two downvoted comment threads.

I’ve found grte’s presence on Lemmy to be generally positive, and while I don’t know enough about the contents of the argument to weigh in, the comment chain feels like pretty standard political discussion. I got to learn more about the differences between the german and korean subs, and what the prime minister might (or might not) be prioritizing.

Meanwhile, the other comment is flippant and unproductive

What would you have suggested otherwise? Seems like the three options were

• German submarines
• South Korean submarines
• The US muscles their way into those regions

Amazing !scrungycats@lemmy.world

I did find confirmation for the first account, but supposedly they are going to make a new account for the automated stuff. That should make it easier for people to ban or block it

https://lemmy.ca/comment/23580356

I didn’t find anything in the second account though

Can you edit the post to say that you suspect that this is what they are doing instead of stating it as a fact?

I am also suspicious, but looking through the accounts the activity could still be a human using LemmySchedule to schedule the posts ahead of time. There aren’t that many posts each day, and I couldn’t easily map the posts to any existing subreddit or other source. Normally these bot accounts have a lot more posts, and that’s why they get blocked or banned.

It could just be a user that is using potentially harmful strategies to get communities related to their interests off the ground

Where would Commonwealth countries fit into this, would Canada, Australia and New Zealand also join in?
