    WHAT THE FUCK IS "POLLUTION"!?

    including large volumes of unburned methane

    Ooooh. Yeah, that's bad. Methane is a pretty bad greenhouse gas.

  • Would a commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he is thirsty and having a Roman Soldier pass him an ice cold Coca Cola be better?

    I tried it using Sora, but "This content can't be shown for now. We're still developing how we evaluate which content conflicts with our policies. Think we got it wrong? Let us know."

    This was the prompt:

    Give me a Coca Cola commercial where Jesus has been nailed to a cross, and says "I'm thirsty", after which a Roman Soldier passes him an ice cold Coca Cola.

    I tried replacing "Jesus" with a man, but no dice :(

  • Christmas celebrations

    Christmas is more of a cultural celebration than a Christian one, and thus not political.

    I'm atheist, but I still celebrate Christmas, because it's a good excuse to gather friends and family, and have some fun together.

  • Pride is a political movement - or did they not fight for the rights of LGBT people? Flags are inherently political. Flying a flag signals allegiance and identity, which are political at their core.

    This makes pride month political.

    Being Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Transgender isn't political in and of itself, but movements are.

  • Most important?

    Morrowind.

    I was already playing it, when a pack of dogs killed my two geese. One had a broken neck, the other had its guts spilling out.

    I'm convinced that Morrowind helped me through my depression, and prevented me from becoming suicidal.

    But I also like Drakan: Order of the Flame, Little Big Adventure 2, Dune 2, and Warcraft 1.

  • Nobody questions why

    When she first popped up there were MANY people who questioned who the fuck she was that she could speak to the EU leadership. Why her? Because she's been an activist from a very young age, and her parents have connections (being minor celebrities).

  • I like LLMs. Instead of making a racket, I just use them, which may make it seem like everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs.

  • Whats your such opinion

    Jump

  • Eh, I liked it for explaining how people can behave differently.

    It doesn't have much predictive power, and thus is bad science, but I like its descriptive power. I also think it's a bad idea to see it as a quaterny (binary, trinery, ...) instead of a spectrum. Same with being introverted/extraverted - that's a spectrum as well, IMO.

  • Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.

  • OK, and? A car doesn't run like a horse either, yet they are still very useful.

    I'm fine with the distinction between human reasoning and LLM "reasoning".

  • What is your go-to sites after torrentgalaxy went down?

    Jump

  • If your ISP is blocking this website, set a DNS in windows to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 (Google), 9.9.9.9 (Quad9), https://www.dns0.eu/, or DNS4EU.

    Yes, blocking certain sites is done in the Netherlands, due to Stichting BREIN using/abusing our legal system. Nobody likes them, but it is what it is.

    PS: I'm using rargb, since it hasn't been blocked (yet - BREIN has to sue per website being blocked).

  • The first two options (autocd and cdspell) have been a lifesaver in fixing my frustrations with the default bash settings (and even lets me stick with bash, instead of feeling I should move to zsh or any other shell.

    I can just type a foldername, tabcomplete it and press enter to go there. It's great.
