  • Bill 62 Petition: Protecting Vulnerable Road Users

    Jump

  • A good initiative, but given that Ontario is controlled by the Ford mafia, I don't imagine there's much chance of it succeeding.

  • My word game had some weird archaic racist word as one of the answers.

    Jump

  • If I'm writing a blacklist for slurs, I'm not thinking of archaic words like "griffe". I'm just making sure it doesn't use anything that would be used in a modern context.

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

  • Fun fact: you get more accurate info by simply running man hier

  • Unless the game procedurally generates the words from a dictionary

  • How does the game work? Did you have to give this answer, or is it like boggle where you have to construct whatever words from a set of letters?

  • How do y'all cope without meds?

    Jump

  • I recently had to stop taking my vyvanse due to some bad side effects and holy shit I forgot how bad this was

    FYI you are probably also dealing with withdrawal in addition to being unmedicated. Getting off of meds after having been on them is a very different experience from never having been medicated.

  • Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?

    Jump

  • It's entirely possible to use, enjoy, and benefit from Linux while also using proprietary software. Your attitude only hurts the reputation and adoption of Linux by perpetuating the notion that you're either all-in or else you're out. Your idea of "Linux the lifestyle" is a fantasy.

  • Can someone explain this command for me?

    Jump

  • In other words, RTFM

  • In-N-Out burger and fries

    Jump

  • That sounds very useful if you ever plan to bring your dog on a roller coaster

  • Deleted

    Open AI seems inherently evil

    Jump

  • Silicon Valley (the HBO show) was joking about this a decade ago. "Making the world a better place through highly scalable caching and consensus algorithms", "I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do", etc.

  • Rastafarian [beetlemoses]

    Jump

  • An Abrahamic religion based around worshipping a hereditary monarch is problematic? Colour me amazed.

  • The Elder Scrolls Online now “officially” playable on the Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Not necessarily. My understanding is that you can earn a green check as long as your game feels like a native console experience, even if it's running on Proton

  • LLMs have a strong bias against use of African American English

    Jump

  • I never said it can't understand it. I am agreeing with the notion that it has a bias against using it.

  • Flat Top

    Jump

  • Could also be good for matryoshka dolls

  • Meta considers mixed reality glasses , code name : puffin, will release by 2027

    Jump

  • Those who fail history will be doomed to repeat it

  • Code names don't need to be good for marketing, they are just for being able to talk about a thing

  • LLMs have a strong bias against use of African American English

    Jump

  • Makes sense. AAVE is mostly a spoken thing, LLMs are mostly trained on the corpus of written text on the internet and in books. It's pretty rare for people to write in an AAVE style in those contexts.

  • Flat Top

    Jump

  • Perfect for stacking multiple of them

  • Difference between downloading on public wifi and mobile hotspot?

    Jump

  • None of this is a likely threat, but is any of it completely outside the realm of feasibility?

    Yes. It's well beyond being worth considering. You're describing a massive conspiracy where hundreds of people from multiple countries' governments as well as private corporations would all need to work together without any information leakage. All this to entrap some Canadian programmer who tried to torrent season 2 of a TV show aired in 1990. If any of this was worth doing, it would have been done by now, yet we hear of nothing like this ever happening.

    I've gone my entire adult life downloading copyrighted material without using a VPN and it's never caused me any problem. My contract with my ISP confers me a level of trust that I'm perfectly comfortable with. I'm familiar with the Canadian law around this stuff, and how it's been interpreted by the courts in the past. I am under no threat of financial damages being pursued against me. My ISP has no incentive to log my online activity or report it to foreign authorities. And even if they did, the Canadian courts limit the pursuable damages to four figures; barely enough to pay for the lawyer that would file the suit.
