President Reagen absolutely refused to even acknowledge AIDS for his entire presidency. So the FDA didn’t do anything regarding AIDS.

I mean, I have seen at least 1 Lemmy.world user here simp for the CEO.

Theres also zombie army trillogy. BTW these run om the same engine and have the same gameplay as sniper elite

I’ve called his work “light hearted monkey’s paw”

I mean, our stomach acid is hydrocloric acid. Just ours isn’t nearly as concentrated.

Yeah huge pita to watch anything on YouTube now. Every 3rd recommended video is clearly made with AI, and I’m sorry but not sorry, your video needs to be made fully by humans for me to care. I don’t care how interesting the topic sounds, if there’s slop in there I’m not watching. I don’t care if the video is obviously low budget give it the human touch.

One of the more annoying things is when it’s AI stick figures, like bro, just draw them yourself, they’re stick figures.

Hell, a few weeks ago I came across a video titled “Why are slugs? Broadly speaking”. Its thumbnail proudly has a “No Ai” on there and it was a good and interesting video on snails and slugs.

I mean, by US law (back when analog TV was standard) all TV broadcasts had to include closed captions on scanline 23(?) for people with hearing disabilities. it was part of the vertical blanking interval so it didn’t interfere with the regularly visible broadcast. It is good to include subtitles for all dialogue, spoken in the local dialect, in a foreign dialect, and even the various sign languages. That’s isn’t to say that yes, I fully agree that differently abled people should be able to take part in the dialog and should have accommodations where needed.

Semi related, did you know American sign language is closer to French sign language than it is to British sign language?

Oh shit, is this it? Is this actually the year of the Linux desktop?

You’re kinda being a dick to someone who has been vocally anti-trump since he first dated a trump supporter in 2012. That’s not a typo. Since Obama’s reelection I’ve hated the guy and voted against him in every election. Don’t blame me for him winning again.

There’s a lot of blame to be pointed directly at Biden and Kamala’s 2024 campaign for not reading the room and offering milquetoast promises.

If you don’t want to come back here fine, you’d personally give Republican’s ammo for their sudden hatred of Canadians and I would rather mend our two country’s relationship.

I mean, most people don’t know their encryption keys. A correct password retrieves the keys from the TPM, the duress pin wipes the TMP so now even a correct password is unable to get any of the data.

Hell, even if you use the same password in multiple locations (you shouldn’t) a good service will salt (add a random but consistent jumble of characters for your account specifically) and then hash (weird complicated math that makes it really hard to reverse your password) your salted password then check if that salted hash matches what’s on file.

sigh

I’m sorry Canada. A lot of us are waiting for it to happen too.

The “patch” for the X1 also allows anyone on the home console of the account to play the game, which has led to many people game sharing with a friend.

I’m disappointed I’m not lefty enough for the club 😭

A plane is a bus that is fast, can fly, and can traverse great distances. An LLM spews statistically accurate looking language with no regard for accuracy or content. These are not the same. One is objectively useful even if its common current incarnation pollutes a lot.

I’d like to thank the Canadian firefighters for helping us out, and I am deeply sorry we aren’t returning the favor. We’re all in this world together and we (the US) should act like it.

God that poor woman. That’s so many kids.

Yeah I’ve seen that one before. I was so glad to have training at my job that explicitly stated “if you aren’t the electricity guy, don’t fuck with the electricity” like I’d fucking argue that I should be allowed to lick the 480v. Nope, I want nothing to do with the spicy cables.

Yeah, I mean fuck us and all we do suck, but I don’t think people outside the US and Canada really grasp how big this place is. A few years ago I drove to Montreal. It’s a 12 hour drive going 100km/h the whole way, and that’s to get to the nearest city that doesn’t speak English by default, a 24 hour drive in any other direction and I would still be surrounded by people speaking English.

I don’t disagree that there needs to be regulation. I fully agree there needs to be regulation. Companies can and will fuck customers over with little to no concern. See for example the enshitification of pretty much everything.

All I am saying is that there are times when voting with your wallet has successfully bullied companies into complying with the will of the people.

Not voting with your wallet doesn’t work? Someone aught to tell Disney that after many people ended their Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions once Kimmel was fired.
