Lemmy as a whole is short on active conversations about my particular hobbies and interests, but I'm quite enjoying what is here, and hoping that my continued use of it will help it grow.

One gallon = 4.55 litres, if you were wondering whether your bladder might be able to hold it.

There are a lot more Europeans online than Americans (not to mention a few billion internet users on other continents), so when Americans post temperatures exclusively in Fahrenheit it comes across as kinda thoughtlessly parochial.

From the article:

Amazon has bet big on AI, with the company unveiling a new, AI-powered version of Alexa alongside updated versions of its Echo Frames and Carrera smart glasses last week.

So glad someone's finally come up with a rebuttal.

I was wondering why the researchers hadn't released any pictures of this newly discovered language, but on careful re-reading I realise it was transcribed in cunieform... so to me it would be totally indistinguishable from any other Hittite tablet.

It's screen-on time, and ten hours is quite normal for the Poco F2.

That would have made a lot more sense than what actually happened.

The update was impossible to revert (though TP-Link said "Ok write to our support and we'll give you the downgrade file" no fuck you).

That doesn't sound like it was impossible, it sounds like you just didn't want to do it.

I like to take shrs

I like Hadoop.

This is the sanest Spectator article I've ever read.

Robotaxis could potentially help traffic by being smaller than current cars. The vast majority of journeys shouldn't require anything bigger than a Renault Twizy.

I don't even want to imagine a world without associate editors.

Aha, thanks. I was confused because Horatio Nelson was an 18th-century British naval commander. I now learn that you're talking about a dude called Horatio Nelson Jackson, whom I hadn't previously heard of.

It died out about 450 million years ago, so it predates almost every animal you've ever heard of.

I'm not sure whether I'm misunderstanding the person you're referring to, or misunderstanding the word "Vermonter".

I'd love to debate this with you properly but I've got COVID right now and don't have the energy to put together a decent response, sorry. Basically I just don't see how the specific features in the new Chrome build let advertisers do anything they can't already do. I don't see how they contribute to ads getting worse, or where "nickel and diming" comes into it.

I know what the Topics API does. I'm asking for a concrete example of exactly how it's going to make my internet experience worse. (That Register article doesn't provide one.)

Serious question: let's say I continue using Chrome and Privacy Sandbox becomes the norm. How does my internet experience get worse?
