  • Oh yes

  • I think this is one reason I'm frequently labeled a reply-guy.

  • I was a professional, and I didn't have a backup of my personal system for about 2 decades. I just didn't have another 4TiB of storage to copy my media library onto. I'm now on backblaze, but there was a long time there when I did not have a backup even tho I knew better.

    Also, even in a professional setting, I've seen plenty of "production support" systems that didn't have a backup because they grew ad-hoc, weren't the "core business", and no one both recognized and spoke up about how important they were until after some outage. There's virtually never a test-restore schedule with such systems, so the backups are always somewhat suspect anyway.

    It's very easy to find you (or your organization) without a backup, even if you "know better".

  • /s ?

  • I just want juice, is that so much to ask?

    Jump

  • Yes, you can get the 100% juice label by taking (e.g.) cranberry concentrate and the reconstituting using (e.g.) apple juice instead of water, adding calories and sweetness without adding a (non-juice) sweetener.

    On top of that, most of the juice aisle does not even qualify for the "100% juice" label.

    Gotta read the fine print on the label AND the government labeling regulations AND have some level of trust in the government to get what you want from a mass-market product. Local products and producers are not a panacea either.

    But, I'm going to overdose on ACE-K given the amount of Zero Sugar Mtn. Dew I think, so I'm not going to shame anyone for their favorite juice, whether it is "100% juice" or not, from concentrate or not, or whatever.

  • If the bug doesn't already exist / is included under an existing bug scope, yes.

    I don't think I will, but I probably should.

  • I think they are turning it into a HTML ordered list, and the Lemmy CSS isn't set up for that.

    A bit of browser inspection, and I can basically guarantee it's because the li::marker CSS is sized for no more than 3 digits.

  • I never had a conversation on geocities, but I do remember you could do some SSI stuff, so maybe it was possible. I think lost my last geocities site password and didn't care to go through the effort of resetting it in '96 or so.

    You can telnet into the HTTP port basically everywhere that doesn't auto-redirect to the HTTPS port (and start/resume a TLS session), and there could be stuff in the HTML source (or headers) that a browser might hide from you, at least by default -- but I can't think of how you would use that in geocities to "see private messages". (In theory you could manually start/resume a TLS session, but a proper telnet client might break on some of the bytes received, and you'd definitely have to figure out how to send some non-ASCII bytes.)

  • there is a special place in hell for these scientists

    Jump

  • That's also the way I feel, but I think that's probably human bias and closely related to the evolutionary pressure behind my mirror neurons and how strongly they trigger correlates with outside sentient phenotype.

    I think if I knew what it felt like (if anything) to be an ant colony, I might have different views around the causal use of boric acid (and related) to keep them out of human spaces.

  • there is a special place in hell for these scientists

    Jump

  • I think there's a lower limit of complexity for sentience, based on memory-persistence, self-firing, and self-recognition. I think there's no need for moral concern for non-sentient things. (But, that's just my ethical framework and philosophical worldview; the only "evidence" I'm at all aware of is thin and vague.)

    But, as far as having a subjective experience, I think that might go quite small and alien including fungi and plant or even certain sub-cellular structures. Probably anything that maintains a border and internal homeostasis including parts of the bodies of larger experiencers could be having an internal perspective -- and any human words applied so those experiences would tell you more about human bias than the experience.

    Jump

  • Shadowrun used the term "bioware" instead, do you like that better?

  • My enthusiasm for tech is basically gone.

    Jump

  • Your feelings are valid. The "rise" of "AI" has been a net negative for my subjective experience, too.

    On my good days, I still enjoy programming, but I just ignore AI, and if it is too forcefully suggested, I just blacklist the purveyor.

    On my bad days, I don't have enthusiasm for anything, but I still program because this project isn't going to get done any other way. I've tried throwing AI at other things, and it screws things up so badly it takes me more time to fix it. And, sometimes it "lies" and I don't catch it immediately.

    I have a good selection of subscriptions on YT (and Nebula), communities on Lemmy, and Follows on Mastodon, and I start there when I just want to enjoy the web. I intentionally avoid following algorithmic suggestions of unknown quality (and defintiely turn off any sort of auto-play); I find I will spend time on that stuff nearly without bound, but it's less enjoyable than what I (or other humans) have curated.

    I started programming in '85 as a child. I used to be a professional Haskell programmer. I'm open for work. (All I need is vim and some API docs and I can write anything from C to JavaScript to Lean.)

  • I'm struggling to think of any online services for which I'd be willing to verify my identity or age

    Jump

  • Fidelity, Banks, Coinbase (before I got out of cryptocurrency entirely).

    But, basically, only when government regulation does (or SHOULD) impose KYC requirements.

    Age and ID verification might be good in a very few cases, but it should definitely be a deviation from the norm.

  • What should be done and over with by now?

    Jump

  • I’m confused, why would “Accurate Noon” be important?

    Why is any particular time important? It serves me to be able to tell time without a clock and synchronize my internal clock with solar activity.

    And for countries that sit far enough from the equator, wouldn’t it be inaccurate regardless?

    No. Distance from the equator doesn't significantly affect when the sun it at it's peak. It does affect how high in the sky the peak is.

    Time adjustments (like "daylight saving") drags the Sun E/W (which is why we "need" timezones). Increasing latitude dags the Sun N/S.

  • What should be done and over with by now?

    Jump

  • I'd rather have accurate noon / celestial time for the few months it is still allowed and still have to switch twice a year than let the government make wrong-noon ("daylight saving") time permanent. So, many of the "end time switching" movements I actively resist rather than support.

    I imagine things like this aren't "done and over" because there is no majority opinion.

    RCV / a Condorcet Method might help.
