  • Writing reports is hard? Fuck paper work? Policing used to be easier?Great, the reports are written for you and the paper work is done for you.You are still fucking liable for their contents, as you are (or should be) for your actions.

    Recorded and written reports are the backbone of accountability.

    Don't want to get fucked by the legal system because you have neglected your duties? Don't neglect your duties. Do the reporting, do the paper work.

    Using LLM in such reports should be equivalent of perjury. Use LLMs to create bullet points, turn that into a draft (or just submit the bullet points, because someone is likely to feed the report back into an LLM to turn it into bullet points).But know that you are (or should be) accountable for every last word on that report!

  • While true, quantity of poop particles also matters.Your body can fight off loads of bacteria. But once it gets to an infection point, it can't keep up and you become ill.

    So yeh, poop is everywhere. As long as it's small amounts, it's fine.

  • Battle Royale.Pretty sure it was the first foreign language film I've watched.

  • I don't refuse junk mail. I indicate my preference to not have it printed on paper, sent some distance, and hand delivered. I refuse it at the origin, not the destination.Worst case, the postal service recycles it at origin instead of having to ship it.

    Junk mail is junk.It isn't a resource.I don't think I've ever received something that meaningfully contributes towards a purchase that I actually want to make.I buy what I need. I find what I want, I think about if I actually need it, I find local manufacturers, I find local suppliers.I see if the price difference between local & inter/national is worth the saving (most of the time, it isn't and I'd rather buy from a local manufacturer or supplier, even at twice the price).Then I decide if I should buy something.

    Some paper shipped across the country and shoved through my letterbox is not going to influence my decision AT ALL.In fact, it's more likely to negatively impact my purchasing decision.Because here is a company that has excess profits to physical cold-advertise something to me, regardless if I have an interest in it or not.What a waste of money, resources and time.

  • Wait, the US doesn't have a free service to (a) remove you from postal spam lists and (b) stop spam being delivered?

    In the UK, I registered my address on a few of the things listed here ( https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/post-and-parcels/stop-getting-junk-mail/ ). And the only junk mail I now receive are political flyers & takeout menus delivered outside of the postal service (ie by people, not posties).

    Do Americans really have to put up with receiving random bullshit with no easy way of stopping it?!

  • Omg, even the thing that is enshittifying everything is now being enshittified itself.

  • Manage

    Jump
  • And here's me with my yay

  • In my experience, a Scheduler is something that schedules time on the CPU for processes (threads).

    So 10 processes (threads) say "I need to do something":2 of those threads are "ready to continue" because they were previously waiting on some Disk IO (and responsibly released thread control while data was fetched).1 of the threads says "this is critical for GPU operations".1 of those threads self declares it is elevated priority.

    The scheduler decides which of those threads actually gets time on an available CPU core to be processed.

  • Oh, actual horses.I was thinking the title was wrong. Or maybe that cavalry is a modern warfare term for something.The thumbnail is a bit hard to see.

    Nope.Clicked through, and there it is. A picture of a soldier riding a horse. Like, full on galloping.And the picture is clearly from a drone that is very very close.

  • That puts a lot of pressure on humans to not-make-mistakes.However, repeated "mistakes" are a pattern of hostility.Russia is hostile.And they keep on "oops"-ing and "plausible deniability"-ing their actions.Which is a pattern of hostility and should be treated as a declaration of war

  • In simple terms, this means that the image is now built so that it produces exactly the same result every time. If the image is rebuilt later using the same source, it will be identical down to the last bit.

  • Thank you for reminding me

  • Wtf is GNU/Linux? You mean SystemD/KDE?

  • And then OneDrive comes along, someone accidentally saved "to the cloud" (IE the default windows location of OneDrive). And of course someone (you) has to fix all the desync bullshit.Fuck excel, fuck Microsoft, fuck OneDrive!

    Thank god my company is transitioning to a decent no code solution (nocobase plus literally anything that can interact with postgres - currently n8n but not yet limited to that. It's a transition from excel, literally anything is better! (Tho, nocobase is awesome, non has it's perks)).Many parentheses, soz.Fuck excel, use a database!

  • Something about porn leading the way, something about DVDs winning, something about VHS winning.

    All of that doesn't matter.Because Linux desktop (in my experience, KDE Plasma and Wayland) along with distros that do sensible things (I use EndeavourOS btw) are just SO much better that Windows.I only boot windows for software I have to run windows with fullscreen or GPU based software that doesn't exist on linux

  • Professionals do seem to use excel.Holy fuck is it painful for anyone that knows what they are doing.

  • We will develope a new API in partnership with AI providers that allows for tighter integration with our browser. To the point, a user can easily make it agentic if they want to. Or they can opt into the parts they want.We are starting a new team that will work with such AI developers to ensure that the plugins they deploy both properly notify/request user permissions and only send the data they say they will.

    That's the "Let's go AI!" while also being "We aren't sheep!" message.

    Firefox should be the "user choice" browser

  • I also hope Embark do the right thing and get VAs back in to voice quests and cut scenes.Use the generated voice for items and locations only. Maybe, as an emergency, for continuity.

    I guess it gives them unbelievable leverage over the VAs: "We are offering you $10 to do 4 hours of voice lines. Or we will just use the model we have already trained".Which then puts even more downwards pressure on VA wages.

    I bet Embark has made bank, and it would be a massive PR win to get the VAs back in at an industry standard rate to do the quests and cutscenes.

  • Pretty much any mikrotik is a fantastic piece of kit to have.It is so unbelievably versatile.I love the various mikrotik routers, switches and APs I have. I use them all the time for little ad-hoc networks and projects and stuff.You will learn a lot about networking when using them.

    But Unifi is a hell of a lot easier to use, and I have not found anything I can't do on unifi (but I don't do bgp, mlag, etc at home).
