I'm not following how blocking this handful of users involves "getting really good with personal filters". In jerboa it's like three taps to block someone, and the last time I used voyager or lemmy through a desktop browser it was similarly easy. And how does blocking people uncritically posting that content risk blocking people bashing AI?

This just seems like a repeat of the witch hunt post about the db0 instance a few days ago. I can only speak for myself, but the last thing I want is for this to become some sort of community where we organize against specific users or communities. Fighting amongst ourselves in this little slice of internet social media will have no effect on the actual companies and market forces pushing this slop.

A big part of what makes lemmy what it is is that people aren't doing that sort of witch hunt shit here. If you want to curate other communities, then make your own copy and enforce your rules on it, or work your way into their mod team.

Most of all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. And holding their head under just gets you a drowned horse. Speak out as you can and curate your own experience.

So even this instance of personal responsibility is significantly offset by the actions of a few. I'm all for doing what each of us can, but that's fucking hilarious.

So, what this seems to be saying, and what is reflected in the settings screens I can access on devices I have at hand, is that Gemini will still have (limited) functionality hooking jnto certain apps even if you've disabled "Gemini App history".

The app is being pushed through normal updates via Google Play (by your carrier or Google itself). In some cases the app can be uninstalled by the end user through the normal UI, and in other cases it installs as a system app and requires adb to be used to disable and/or uninstall it.

EDIT: FALSE, GOOGLE HAS NOT PUSHED THE APP OUT YET, JUST A SETTINGS PAGE

As always, the most secure way to use android is through a custom locked down ROM like Graphene OS.

I'm sure there's a combination out there that would get what I'm looking for. I just haven't found it yet, and a lot of the scene (especially what gets coverage by youtubers) seem to be focused on increasing difficulty by making individual zombies more threatening (night sprinters, randomizers, adding different "zany" zombie types) or adding environmental hazards (nuclear fallout, airborne virus, eternal winter).

You can adjust settings, and I do, but once you clear an area if you stay near the area the options are either "randomly spawn in zombies where you've cleared" (ignoring whether a zombie could actually path there or not, last I tested it) or "no more zombies". There's no built in way I know of to simulate a glob coming in from the edges of your safe zone if the edges are farther out than the limit of cells it simulates around you.

I could probably get something together with the horde night mod. Just haven't had time to tinker lately.

Respectfully: As I've already stated, none of this exists in a vacuum. You don't get to just declare shit irelevant. Regardless of your mental gymnastics, you are peacocking/gloating about having the right beliefs/voting policy in the aftermath of these children being dead.

Disrespectfully: Your belief that you can somehow claim any sort of moral highground here is absolutely ghoulish. I sincerely hope you never are denied compassion or help in your time of need by someone professing beliefs like yours.

The people? Or the husks in skinsuits we through mass delusion have decided to refer to as politicians?

Or maybe they're just upset that you're using the deaths of children to be smug.

There's a lot more going on in politics than "insert vote, recieve outcome voted for". Gerrymandering, simply being stuck in an area where you are the political minority, politicians campaigning on an entriely different platform than the actions they take later while in office... I could go on, but I expect my words would be wasted.

The dead girls weren't even old enough to vote.

In b4 you start running your mouth off about how it's okay to wish death on the bad people because of what they're doing to you/the good people. Two wrongs don't make a right, and even if it did, you're aimed at the wrong targets. Get your scope zeroed in properly.

Not really related, but it makes me sad that this isn't easily possible in Project Zomboid. It's the exact sort of feeling I want from it.

This is just a blatant grift. The link on how to add links just sends to a ko-fi page where you're charging money.

And completely ignoring a whole bunch of reasons that "the million dollar webpage" worked that mean that something like this won't.

Good luck I guess.

There will always be more content than anyone can keep up with in a single lifetime. I've long since lost the motivation to race along at the front edge of new shit.

I pick up new artists from shows, movies, youtube videos, and games. I also regularly let youtube music (revanced, so no ads) run past the end of my playlists and suggest new stuff. I used to use Pandora for this as well.

On super rare occasions (been over a year now) I'll check out you groove you lose threads on 4chan and discover a few more artists.

Yeah. Anthropic regularly releases these stories and they almost always boil down to "When we prompted the AI to be mean, it generated output in line with 'mean' responses! Oh my god we're all doomed!"

I love all these articles that frame the public's reaction to something as the problem, while ignoring or glossing over the cause of the reaction entirely.

"How dare you question the orphan grinder! No, the real problem is that you don't understand why the orphan grinder is necessary!"

I might be, if I had seen any evidence of what you're describing occurring.

I'd imagine that is also the reaction of most people downvoting you. You keep insisting this is happening, but I haven't seen it. Provide some screenshots, anything to elevate this past "impassioned rant" and into the realm of having hard examples to talk about.

So, there is some jank in how Microsoft handles the desktop that results in more shortcuts on in using more resources. It always has to have all the images and icons loaded at all times.

But with the increases in baseline RAM I'd be shocked to find anyone with more than 4GB experiencing slowdown from it, even in the most extreme situations.

Similar thing with trash/recycling bin. Are you already low on storage space? Then yeah, clean it so your PC has enough spare space to work, or to use for swap (effectively extra, slower RAM by way of using drive space). But that was also far more likely to be a problem on the old drives measured in MB.

I'm not 100% on the technical term for it, but basically I'm using it to mean: the first couple of months it takes for a new hire to get up to speed to actually be useful. Some employers also have different rules for the first x days of employment, in terms of reduced access to sensitive systems/data or (I've heard) giving managers more leeway to just fire someone in the early period instead of needing some justification for HR.

Because you can buy other people's code for cheaper than developing it yourself, as long as you use it within the restrictions of the license you paid for.

What? There's a big difference between "legal to sell as a compiled binary" and "legal to release as source".

Yeah, that kind of comment is going to fly over the head of a lot of stupid people.

I'm not shedding any tears for the companies that failed to do their due dilligence in hiring, especially not ones involved in AI (seems most were) and involved with Y Combinator.

That said, unless you want to get into a critique of capitalism itself, or start getting into whataboutism regarding celebrity executives like a number of the HN comments do, I don't have many qualms calling this sort of thing unethical.
