  • Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?

    Jump

  • Just had this discussions on Christmas. Jesuses teachings are pretty explicit that followers are supposed to be charitable and compassionate and give freely and help those they can. Talking to some conservative Christian about it they said they were finding it very hard not to be cynical and see every case of charity as just fraud.

    To the point where not imprisoning people for trying to move somewhere for work is something they really consider charity.

    It's a sharp contradiction to me

  • Whats the most Fediverse "Thing" you know of?

  • If a person asks you to provide evidence that anything bad is happening in China, you are about to get banned in that Lemmy community before you can collect or post said evidence.

  • Which pejorative aliases do you use for companies or products?

    Jump

  • "Crap made by slaves" for most goods sold here in the US. It's not always true, but total disregard almost every company with cases of proven forced labor of innocent people including women and children it's easier for me to write it all off as fucked up to buy. It's also all made to breakdown into known toxic waste soon enough to force you to buy more soon.

    "Sugar water" for sweet tea soda and filtered juices.

    "Advertised burger" for anything that I know sucks but for no good reason I really crave some gut wrenching to fastfood.

    "Internet of Stings" is a good stallmanism.

    "Unmanned ground drone" for a waymo or anything it. The cameras just creep me out.

    "Children electrocutioners" for ChicFila

    "Relic looters" for hobby lobby

    "The company that stole 300 bucks from me" for local crooked car dealer ship that stole 300 bucks from me.

    I hate ads because they make these horrible places seem normal, so I try my best at anti advertising.

  • U.S. bars Europeans it says pressured tech firms to censor American viewpoints online

    Jump

  • The coalition of willing that fought in the middle east was not just America.

  • At what point is liking childrens toys sad?

    Jump

  • Children's toys like games are limited in their function and scope. I don't think that makes playing with them sad ever but it can be more rewarding to make things with less constraints some times.

    I feel like Ive been playing less games now that games turned to hobbies turn to a career in which I can try to solve complex problems in more creative ways.

    I still play with blocks, little puzzles, games, etc though, so again a hard cut off doesn't really make sense to me.

  • Logging Sucks - A review of challenges with logging

    Jump

  • Tbh Ive had some joy using K8Gpt and I'm kind of excited to try Liz for my Rancher stuff.

    To me though, RAG AI is good as a semantic search at the moment but you really should check with your own eyes and not assume the convincing string machine has any actual understanding about what it is saying.

    Does help though when your eyes are bleeding and your troubleshooting something youre just not sure where to look.

  • Activist group says it has scraped 86m music files from Spotify

    Jump

  • The funny thing from what I've read the got the alot of raw audio files too so the people torrent probably are getting higher quality versions then what Spotify transcodes too

  • 100

    Jump

  • We really got the range here, so a "beer drinker" and a "beer drinker" are the same when it's a 3.5%abv vs 14%abv. Not to mention non-alchohalic that's becoming more common

  • Make it make sense

    Jump

  • My homelab welcomes the "outdated" or in need of maintenance chips coming my way.

    Oh no I can't use the latest text generation tool and all I can do it crazy simulation, 3d model, and graphics work. What a shame. /s

  • What was a time when you drank the kool aid?

    Jump

  • "I figured out what was wrong with the shell script I just had to update the #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash . Using the upgraded bash was a no brainer"

    Little did I know my shell script updates were just not posix complaint and used bashisms. Its been nearly a decade and I'm still haunted lol

    "Quantum computing is just like regular computing". That one still bothers me.

  • Why did you join Lemmy?

    Jump

  • It was open source, federated and written in Rust!

    The Reddit API enshittification event was just what kept me here.

  • People with nothing to hide need not be bothered about surveillance, Supreme Court says

    Jump

  • Supreme Court outlaws clothes. What criminal acts are hiding in those robs? Only the guilty would hide it

  • What "ruins it" for you?

    Jump

  • Pathos emphasis noted but no reasons provided.

  • What "ruins it" for you?

    Jump

  • Right?! Like if youre going for historical use the context! So much historical plots make no sense if you assume they had social safety nets, clean water, workers rights, access to global markets, concept of universal human rights, on demand light and heating, largely managed forests, and don't get me started on language barriers!

  • SaaS

    Proprietary

    Disable SELINUX

    Run as root

    Hard coded network depencies

    Built for windows only

    Appliance deployment only (run on a dedicated bare metal machine)

    Outdated dependencies

    Idk how many cool concepted apps were just dead on arrival because some combo these made them just fully suck

  • If Americans Had Serbians' Balls...

    Jump

  • If not us then who? If not now then when?

    His evil acts are being done on our behalf and with our power. I agree it should piss off every American to be associated with it.

    We have a duty to at least say it. A duty to tell our reps and senators. Our state goveners and legislators. Our mayors and councils. Our employers and coworkers. To tell them to reject complicity with unconditional acts, with ethnic cleansing, with the genocide. To call for protections at any level we can. To call for the removal from office of anyone that is complicit.

    We have the power. People are acting, but it needs to be any concionable person, any person who will be or someone they now will be affected by a government violating let alone failing to protect human rights.

  • RAM and SSD prices are still climbing—here’s our best advice for PC builders

    Jump

  • I don't like that this was removed, but it is very ironic for a AI summary about AI hype fueling a RAM shortage. It was at least properaly labeled and attributes and an open source model.

  • What is the technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry?

    Jump

  • And it's a balance too that self interest and ego gets alot done too. It's just getting over protective of ego or too self interested (very hard in an economy where a lot employers are straight up conmen) that leads to these pain points.

    I do find in the rooms I've had the pleasure of being with the smartest people in a field were always full of reasonably humble people.
