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.

NewsI am that autistic person who would be quite happy to yell shutup over and over until she got the point.

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.

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.
You’re damned right they didn’t.
Why does this seed smell like poop?
Jam = sticky
Sticky things clog. Jam when it gets stuck somewhere thickens as it dries into a rubbery mess.
Hence the concept of something being “jammed” becoming synonymous with clogged, blocked, disrupted.

If only Ripley’s Aquarium wasn’t such an atrocity against sea life.
Only Aquarium I’ve ever been two where half the animals are visibly sick with fungal infections, and rather than quarantine and treatment, they just replace them like stock.
Rioting. Burning down the government, and hanging/decapitating the rich.
I guess they want that rolled back to the old methods as well.
Admittedly took me far too long to confirm this was, indeed, satire.
I often play docked, but when I do I am usually playing something with high graphics demand (FFVII Rebirth) where I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.
For local games I’m playing stuff more like Moonstone Island, Planet Crafter, etc and it works great. I like the ability to slap on some extra peripherals. I attach a small USB keyboard for games that occasionally need it, and a mouse, but I generally play with the PS5 controller I have.
My one beef is Smart TVs like my Samsung playing poorly with their stupid “smart device detection”.. And it some times takes some playing around to get the video to connect properly (sound comes through).. A problem absent from my “dumb” Westinghouse TV/DVD combo LCDs i grabbed. So YMMV on connectivity if you have a less than well built Smart TV.
Source or something?
Fuck capitalism.
But hold up, here comes May.
I think the word drink was originally only an action, until someone started to refer to all drinkable items as “drinks” and the language adapted.
A similar thing is happening now, as people call things that can be eaten, “eats”. So you can " eat an eat”
I’m a Xennial and I have hated the LOL shit right from the start. Actually aside from the basic abbreviations from IRC, I tend to avoid acronyms entirely and prefer properly typed messages. Anyone sending “lol” with every message won’t see a lot of responses from me.
I recommend using Droidify client for FDroid, it has all the repositories and they can be easily enabled in its config, including microG.

Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).
I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.
I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.
I used Zimaboards. They are affordable and all you need if you couple the cluster with a TrueNAS Scale box and setup Democratic CSI.
This one?
