With the way the world is going? Survive.

It’s basically another board that you attach to a Raspberry Pi or similar SCB that allows you to gain additional functionality like adding sensors, cooling, more ports and so on.

Here’s one example: (click). The green board at the bottom is a Raspberry Pi Zero (I think) and the blue board on top is a hat, specifically a Sense HAT. It has additional sensors like one for temperature, a gyroscope, barometer, etc.

Alternative answer: “Right back at you”

Just do whatever.

It is highly unlikely that users on the internet will be completely replaced by AI bots in the foreseeable future. While AI technology is advancing rapidly, it still lacks the complex decision-making and reasoning skills that humans possess. Additionally, human interaction and creativity play a vital role in many aspects of the internet, from content creation to customer service. Therefore, it is safe to assume that humans will continue to be an integral part of the internet ecosystem for the foreseeable future.

I watch YouTube videos through NewPipe and FreeTube, does that count?

Terraria, definitely.

That look of betrayal when the driver hits the brakes, it’s beautiful.

That must have been one tiny sack of potatoes.

I finished the video with a completely different takeaway. I thought it was pretty grim. With a good reason, mind. Between Blackstone buying up housing using people’s pensions and his predictions for the future, I thought very little room was left for optimism. Good video, though.

For a second, I thought I was browsing the @fuck_cars community.

Somehow, I don’t think that replacing the word “Capitalists” with specific examples and their histories would make the meme funnier.

Not to be confused with ChimeraOS.

While I didn’t downvote, I share the sentiment. I like the idea of a socialist movement, but talking about rising against the owner class while being on a platform owned by the owner class seems a bit silly. Matrix or revolt.chat would have been better options.

Ah, so my experience was not an isolated case. Thanks for confirming!

I’m curious about something. When I was job hunting a few years back, everyone and their mother kept pestering me to get a LinkedIn account. I felt like I was a crazy person, because I seemed to have been the only one who remembered or cared about the 2012 leak. Was this the case for anyone else?

Ew, is that middle stripe supposed to be white? Did they wipe the floor with them or something?

That stupid Emperor Augustus haircut isn’t doing him any favors.

Thanks!

I don’t see the connection. Can someone explain, please?

Seconding Library Genesis. ZLibrary has a nice selection and all, but I’m kind of put off by how you need an account to access it. No such issues with LibGen.

It feels like torture, too. I gave it a quick watch and they’re just… rambling. There’s a laugh track sprinkled in here and there, but I promise you, it’s not funny.

If I tried LaMDA? No, truth be told, I only found out about it when ChatGPT blew up. The reason I said it’s not as good as ChatGPT is because that’s what most articles I find online are saying: ChatGPT delivers information in a plainer, clearer way than anything on the market right now.

That said, my original statement is misleading, sorry about that! I’ll make an edit immediately.

Oh, for sure. They even have their own chatbot called LaMDA. Trouble is, reports are saying that it’s not as good as ChatGPT and Google knows this. Right now they’re in panic mode.

Yeah, SoLita customers can keep this particular beer garden.

I’m glad this is getting more attention. I’ve recently tried joining a community for mental health only to find out they hang out on Telegram, which was alarming to me. I would hardly call a space owned by a company who sells data to government agencies a safe one. Regrettably, I wound up not joining because of this.

See, I don’t think it is. While Reddit has many, many problems, most users seem to be okay with it. Heck, until about year ago, there was a subreddit called WatchRedditDie which had ample proof of Reddit’s shortcomings. However, Reddit never really died, corporate interests just took over. After this revelation, the mods of the subreddit rightfully gave up and archived the subreddit. I believe Reddit will only die when a mass exodus of users takes place, which is just not happening right now.

Can’t speak for everyone, but I only connected a smart TV to my Wi-Fi network once and regretted it immmediately. Why? After that, it wouldn’t forget my wireless password and kept connecting to the internet, even though I didn’t want it to. That is why I’m never connecting another smart device to my network again, unless I’m double-dog sure I want to.

I am a former reddit user. Well okay, lurker. I liked the concept of reddit, but hated the issues that their team left unresolved: power tripping mods, censorship and later the whole Ellen Pao debacle and it just got worse from there. So I started looking for similar sites. I tried Aether, Tildes, I think I was also on Raddle at some point. Then I found Lemmy and here I am.

Well, how delightfully vague. A “sophisticated, encrypted communication device” could be just about anything that connects to the internet.

I’m a private person IRL, so I like to keep things as private as possible on the internet as well. I say “try to”, because heaven knows big tech isn’t making this easy for me.

Near as I can tell, this whole thing started with John Deere tractors. US farmers wanted to repair tractors themselves, because the alternative was calling up someone to have their tractor towed to an official John Deere™ repairshop, which was usually hundreds of miles away. The tow alone would cost them hundreds of dollars. So, they sought legal help, went to court and this is when other companies like Apple and Microsoft caught wind of this story and didn’t like the precedent one bit. After all, why let the users repair their own stuff, when the companies could be earning money on repairs? That’s why this outcome is so important.

Anyway, that’s the quick and dirty version. If you’d like to know more, Vice made a really good video about it two years back: https://youtu.be/EPYy_g8NzmI

And because of the whole karma-farming thing, the discussions on most subreddits are a joke. And I mean that literally, by the way. On like, 99% of all posts, instead of a discussion, everybody is trying to out-joke each other so they can get more imaginary internet points.

EDIT: A bad word.

Having read through the article, I still don’t know how to spot a toxic boss at the interview stage.

Just note that while the Humble Store does sells some games DRM-free, this isn’t their focus like it is over at GOG or itch.io and a lot of game keys sold there come with Steam’s DRM. On a related note, Steam actually does sell some DRM-free titles. A fairly comprehensive list of those can be found here.

I’ve never seen a company in such a hurry to lose more customers. Must be a new business strat.

Yeah, that admittedly makes more sense.

Not only are you breaking the law but stopping someone earning a living from their hard work.

Emotional manipulation, that’s what this is. I’m thinking they wouldn’t even need to resort to it, if their legal premise wasn’t so wobbly.

🤷‍♂️

That does make me feel a little bit better, yes :)
