This is just one step away from eugenics. When the data is in the machine, you just know it will be used for malicious activities.
They tried it a long time ago, but it seems to be rolled back to Windows again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiMux

I hope our French friends can learn from this initiative during the adoption phase.

Re:YouTube as Storage on Saturday February 14, 2026 @05:19AM (#47013347)
Just make sure you have you have a bot network storing the information in with multiple accounts. Also with with enough parity bits (E.g. PAR2) to recover broken vids or removed accounts.

Or it fires to soon and you get an explosion to the face and hit your head on the steering wheel.

Where is this fanfiction located? So you know.. I can avoid it at all costs of course.
The only Microsoft account I have is my 20 year old hotmail that has an appropriate name for a 16 year old who discovered the internet.

If I can't make a local account, I will not use it.

TIL a new word: Sanctimonious: making a show of being morally superior to other people.

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

Re:Testing Intel’s Arc A770 GPU for Deep Learning on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @03:04AM (#37059527)
This can be molded into a generational power grab thriller. Think Godfather trilogy, but both Su and Huang are sort of Sith lords.

The family started with nothing, multiplied and played the strategic long game to conquer the AI marked to enable Skynet.

But Intel are the Jedi hacker good guys.

we invented "In a moment Ramen"
Me: Hey babe, your're almost a litre!

Her: Why?

Me: Because you're a qt!

Exactly this! But not with salt, but caramelized sugar. Maybe also pinch of salt just for the kick.

Can't be worse than the PFAS infused kind right?

You never forget your first.
Do these people have a life? Or are they paid by some social media influencer company to mold narratives?

Replacing Reddit with Lemmy is like giving Meth to a cocaine addict.

I deleted Boost app from my phone, to not mindlessly open it. Coincidentally Boost is an alternative app to access Reddit through their API.

Luckily I don't use reddit from my laptop, due to to horrible experience. So no muscle memory to trick me into visiting.

Complete with a police force and secret service.

Of course an independent judiciary system to keep the powers at be in check.

I'm going to be a virtual lawyer that specializes in subreddit law.

Is there a good way to scrub automatically? My account is almost 10 years and it seems like a good time to end. I did it with MySpace, Tumbler and Facebook before and I never looked back.
Re:Intel Is All-In on Backside Power Delivery on Monday June 12, 2023 @09:24AM (#36293028)
Hopefully the competition stays healthy and keep challenging each other for the top position. Intel proved already that being on the top spot for to long they became lazy.

All fun and games until a 4000Kg Orca is joining the game.
Lot's of good comments already. I personally needed to shift my mind regarding written messages. When I receive feedback in written form and I think the other person has ill will, I perceive the text as angry written and a personal attack.

When I started checking with others how they interpret it, they always saw it as neutral or constructive. So my assumption of the senders state of mind, influenced the way I perceived the feedback text.

For me it really helped to "baseline" with others and/or often just ask the sender what the intention of the criticism was. Get into an analytical state of mind and figure-out what the intent behind the criticism is. If could be that it's made with the best intentions and can help you get better at what you do.

Re:Marginalia: Search the Internet on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @08:08AM (#35612881)
What have you done? I tried to cut back on Reddit, but this seems like I could go done a rabbit hole for a few hours per day.
I'm getting The Da Vinci Code vibes.

Brown? You mean Dark Orange right?
Re:Orbita – A MIDI Turntable Sequencer on Thursday March 16, 2023 @10:59AM (#35182818)
You need to have two, a soundmixer and a DMC turntabelist.
This would be such a godsend when I was in school. When there was no "click" with me and the teacher, I just zoned out and flunked the class. A teacher that is custom made is really a game changer.
Maybe I'm juvenile, but floppy is just such a weird word and it puts a smile on my face every time I hear or read it.

Especially if you realize that the 5.25" is just a "floppy floppy"

TIL: Blackballed. It has nothing to do with the Blue variety.
Me neither, so I'm reasonably disappointed. Can I propose a method?

We should shoot something really sticky up there, creating a snowball effect. When it becomes to heavy it will fall and disintegrate. We will have some collateral damage, but you cant make an omelet without breaking an egg.

My guess would be it fixates on the most dominant source available and mutes the other factors. It probably favors human voices over other ambient noise, therefore singeing the man out.

It will really get freaky when there an ambient noise resembling a human voice. I'm thinking the Bear scene from the movie Annihilation.

Not often I get goosebumps from a Hacker news reply. Thank you.
