Atheism@lemmy.world
Sometimes when you order off Amazon and the like (Etsy, Ebay) you get little thank yous. The more religious sellers put bible quotes on them
I’m guessing it is something like that, but more escalated like a pamphlet?
Fuck AI@lemmy.world
But that could only be done if the method do so had been stored as a program in the databanks. In Voyager, when they try to replicate The Doctor; Harry writes a program and then tells the computer to run that program. When the hologram fails, he has to reprogram it and run again.
TechnologyBut more simple than that. If I’m not mistaken this is simply a font where A is mapped to P and B to V and so on. The fonts we use all are saved by the comp as character codes. Fonts are just a map of glyphs.
Wingdings is the mist famous and oldest case of a font where any letter typed comes out as something completely different.
So they have mapped a font where the letters are jumbled, and used the map with a script to encode the pages content to the same cypher. Loading the page with anything but the font that draws the intended letter instead of the letter that is verbatim on the page results in garbage.

LCARS was a data access and retrieval system capable of doing calculations and simulations. It was not, I REPEAT, was not “artificial intelligence”. It did not try to act or sound sentient, it simply responded to commands and ran programs.

Programmer HumorIs it Klit or Kilt, the readme literally says both…
Vintage StoryThis thread is so old, but we just got this for the family and are loving it. The seasons are gorgeous. And being chased by a bear is legitimately scary.

Mildly InfuriatingThis is largely part of being on multilingual web. It costs a lot of engineering time and effort to try and translate a page to multiple languages, but icons infer meaning without this need.
Headbangs
Global NewsGood to see I was wrong.

I’m there with ya, guess my leftist views weren’t left enough.
TechnologyI pulled my retirement funds from the market over a year ago when the market was clearly detatching from reality. They are in a cash account earning modest interest for now.
I don’t let fools in a stupor play with my money.
Anyone have a link to the vote breakdown?
I betting Canada abstained again, bowing down to the US.
politicsAt this point, to anyone surprised at this idea, I can only roll my eyes.
He was quoted, recorded on video, saying “You’ll never have to vote again.”
He told you exactly this. Morons didn’t really think about what that meant. Many of us saw it for exactly what it was.
You Should KnowThis is why I don’t buy chicken from costco. Thankfully theres a good provider (Sunrise Farms) from Richmond on the Lower Mainland that makes a frozen skinless, boneless breat that’s cheaper than Costco, cooks to nearly the same size it started as the water content is low, and is semi-local to Vancouver Island.
TIL “Ousado” means bold.
And what a perfect demonstration of the term.
I mean, when we had hard water we just put it through a tap mounted filter. Not sure why anyone needs water to be clearer than that.
I’m firmly in the camp that if you’re so concerned with appearances that you need to buy special ice cubes for a party, you need to reassess priorities.
“Clarified water”?!?!
Ok. I know Canada has great water supply, but where do you live that your water needs to be " clarified”?
Maybe the response teams would be more organized if there hadn’t been a coup by the orange turd? Or do these fundamental issues stem from before the Team America said “Fuck Yeah!”?
Lots of people use it, I recommend they try ifconfig.co - cleaner curl output.
What’s wrong with KDE? 😅
One of the reasons I prefer Nextcloud is it makes a lot of this easier. Nextcloud Notes is simple MD file and subfolder structure. Nothing special, no special clients needed. They have a droid client, the web version works from desktop, but you can also just sync the folder to a device and open them with anything.
The proprietary format of Obsidian and others like Joplin was too abrasive across clients for me and too locked in to their format. I prefer just using MD because I can edit if with whatever.
From 2006 onward I was a Gnome 2 fanboy and you could not convince me to use KDE.
Fast forward to Gnome Shell, and KDE Plasma; You couldn’t get me to touch Gnome. I love love love Plasma so much.
I can’t wait for Light No Fire, looks like it will be amazingly fun.
Uh, false. So called “serving” class jobs (wait staff, hotel maids and a few others) have a lower minimum wage in many of the provinces. In Quebec, their sales for their shifts are even tracked an proactively taxed for the expected tips they should receive. Which is why you get stink eye from servers in Quebec, they get taxed on expected tip output even if they don’t get tipped.
I see they have removed the “service” terms held over from slave nomenclature and now call it a “minimum tipped wage”.

If you are using the stock Fairphone OS, you have Google Play Services installed. /e/OS comes on the Murena version, or you have to install it.
Sure enough, no login wall from Debian desktop. This is some Android autodetection BS that is realizing I don’t have a Google account on the device and trying to force a login.
Ugh, I neeeed a Linux phone.
Ill bet they detect the Voyager client or Android. Lemme try this from desktop too.
On a non-google android (Fairphone 6, e/OS) this is what I am forcibly redirected to every time.
Do you have google play services on your device?
You have to login to see their patents? Lol.
Pro Tip is not Pro Working.
Pro living wage, pro profit sharing, pro median income for CEOs.. These are pro-working views.
Tip economy is part of the very class war problem we find ourselves in.
I do not miss the high pitched background screech of CRTs. Monitors or TVs. The TVs from the late 90s that would show blank screen instead of static were the loudest.
Comaps is not a fork of OSMAnd.. OSMAnd is a high powered offline maps and trip planning toolkit with many layer options, custom layers, multiple map views, and a range of plugins.
Comaps is.. Well an offline compatible Google mapsish clone. It doesnt have anywhere near the capability of OSMAnd. Its more “general user” focused.
As seen in Quentin Tarantino’s “Fill Bill”
I too agree that we should revive Webrings.
Working at MSN Tech support during the. Blaster Worm and its subsequent variants which triggered reboots in Windows 98-XP, I was put off from every version of Windows including XP, and it was the last windows I installed.
After working an 8 hour shift of repeating the same proceedure on a customers machine to properly fix the virus every 15 minutes, the same thing I had done every day for three weeks, I came home to find my XP machine bootlooping due to the second variant (Sophos) finding its way into my patched machine as the fix for it had come out while I was at work. Instead of joining the Freelancer LAN party I was due to be at that weekend, I spent the time fixing my machine and learning Linux. That year Windows became a secondary install, and remained that way until Wine had stabalised for most games I played. I think I dropped dual boot around 2011.
