  • Graham Linehan: Father Ted co-creator arrested at Heathrow over his X posts

    Jump

  • He wasn't saying anything about trans men, at least in the part you quoted. That's a slur used against trans women.

  • Bazzite has gained nearly 10k users in 3 months while other Fedora Atomic distros remain fairly stagnant

    Jump

  • They make dedicated Nvidia images and I've heard good things. It's supposed to be one of the distros to pick if you want a good out of the box experience with Nvidia. Only used the Amd/Intel image myself though.

  • Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia'

    Jump

  • Crypto was an annoying bubble. If you were in the tech industry, you had a couple of years where people asked you if you could add blockchain to whatever your project was and then a few more years of hearing about NFTs. And GPUs shot up in price. Crypto people promised to revolutionize banking and then get rich quick schemes. It took time for the hype to die down, for people to realize that the tech wasn't useful, and that the costs of running it weren't worth it.

    The AI bubble is different. The proponents are gleeful while they explain how AI will let you fire all your copywriters, your graphics designers, your programmers, your customer support, etc. Every company is trying to figure out how to shoehorn AI into their products. While AI is a useful tool, the bubble around it has hurt a lot of people.

    That's the bubble side. It also gets a lot of baggage because of the slop generated by it, the way it's trained, the power usage, the way people just turn off their brains and regurgitate whatever it says, etc. It's harder to avoid than crypto.

  • So proud!

  • Alright, I see the problem. I'm describing how some men literally spread their arms across the back of multiple seats and how some men literally spread their legs out so that each knee is blocking access to each seat beside the and you are interpreting that as people complaining about guys being allowed to use their armrests. No one is complaining that you take up physical space. They are complaining that you are spread out in a way that blocks access to the space around you that you don't need. If you don't sit down and spread your knees wide enough to block access to the seats next to you, then the term manspreading doesn't apply to you.

  • So proud!

    Jump

  • Size doesn't make you spread your legs, blocking two other seats or make you wrap your arms around the back of the other seats. I've seen plenty of men who can keep their hands and knees in front of themselves.

  • So proud!

    Jump

  • What I picture in my head when I hear the term manspreading is the guy on every bus or subway who is sitting in a middle seat with legs spread wide. It could also be arms around the backs of the surrounding chairs.

  • YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position.

  • I made a typo for one of my employment dates while filing the background check. Caught it right after submitting it and then asked around and everybody told me that they'll call and ask about it if they can't figure it out from just looking back at my resume.

    Next morning they called me and said they had to close the role because of budget cuts. Two months later I got an email saying my hiring was being paused because my background check was flagged and I had 10 days from the check to dispute it. I decided to call the company and they told me that they had already hired someone else for the role.

    So yeah, getting the dates right can be important.

  • Popular Artificial Sweetener Linked to Higher Risk of Strokes

    Jump

  • They aren't artificially sweet, they are a sweetener that is artificial (man-made). As opposed to natural sweeteners that you can just grab from nature.

  • Tennessee man pardoned for Jan. 6 offenses gets life in prison in separate case accusing him of trying in incite "civil war"

    Jump

  • My point is that the part about the prosecutor only applies to the last part of the sentence. It's the newspaper doing an "allegedly" thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn't actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.

    The article later goes on to talk about how he was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life by a judge.

  • Tennessee man pardoned for Jan. 6 offenses gets life in prison in separate case accusing him of trying in incite "civil war"

    Jump

  • According to prosecutors is describing "...for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a "civil war,"" not the sentencing.

  • I honestly think they're impossible to understand

    Jump

  • I taught my mom to play by using a couple of starter decks, giving a short overview of the objective and what the parts of the card meant, and then played a couple of matches with our cards revealed to each other. You just need to be patient, willing to explain anything, and be generous with allowing take backs and reminding about any rules they missed. And remember that if you want someone to keep playing with you, they need to be able to have fun too.

  • US judge orders release of Palestine advocate Mahmoud Khalil

    Jump

  • Last time, the judge said they can't hold him just because Marco Rubio wants to deport him. They were allowed to hold him under the flimsy green card application allegations. This is taking away their other excuse.

  • Free Arturo

    Jump

  • It didn't really look like he raised his weapon towards the crowd. He had it lowered until they either started yelling or shooting, hard to tell from the video, he only raised it into a running stance. It was still pointed mostly sideways.

    I thought the video would be a slam dunk against him, but it just looks like he panicked when the shooting started and ran away.

  • Tesla’s phantom braking nightmare: lawsuits surge as drivers lose trust in Autopilot

    Jump

  • This isn't an issue with the Full self driving that people signed up for the beta for. It happens with the cruise control too.

  • Tesla’s phantom braking nightmare: lawsuits surge as drivers lose trust in Autopilot

    Jump

  • Yeah, Tesla's don't have ordinary cruise control. They have adaptive cruise control and autopilot, which is adaptive cruise control + lane keeping. Both just use the camera. If you're hoping to rest your foot during a cross country drive, then you better prepare for it to lurch every time it sees a shadow. Once every couple of miles if the road has enough shadows.

  • ArcaneGPT

    Jump

  • It's a common thing in programming. There's some legacy code that isn't being used and yet removing it causes things to break. Nobody has the time to figure out what is still referencing that code, so it just gets a comment next to it saying "Not used, but removing it breaks the build" and then forgotten about.

  • Gillibrand Announces Legislation To Ban Distribution Of Blueprints For 3D Printed Firearms And Curb Epidemic Of “Ghost Guns” - Kirsten Gillibrand | U.S. Senator for New York

    Jump

  • This press release is from 2023. Not sure why it was posted like it was news.

  • Americans will use anything as a unit of measurement

    Jump

  • I think mistakes like this are usually caused by someone changing their mind on one thing they wrote and forgetting to proofread the whole thing to see if it still makes sense. I imagine this sentence started out as "Rock the size of a small boulder".
