@datarama@hachyderm.io @dalias@hachyderm.io Agreed. It also, I've noticed, has the side effect of making screenshots almost useless. "Oh, this was three months as of the time the picture was taken" which... great? yay? and when was the picture taken? Sure, maybe it's in the metadata... or not. What should I do, take a picture of the screen showing the program/browser with the "3 months ago" while holding today's newspaper?

ffs

@dalias@hachyderm.io ooooooh, interesting

To be honest, I'm very vague as to the specific architectural differences between micro and monolithic (why not "macro" or "mega"... well, actually, I can imagine why they don't use either of those) kernels... and I kinda feel like the wiki articles are on it, too.

Is it genuinely a somewhat hazy boundary between the two?

just gonna throw it out there that you know what, if I was kidnapped and enslaved and forced to grow lettuce I'd be goddamn fucking sure every last leaf was guaranteed diarrhea lettuce

@fraggle@social.coop @dthompson@toot.cat @cwebber@social.coop maybe so, but like any good tech leader, she’s an expert on evaluating proposals about things she doesn’t understand!

@cwebber@social.coop @dthompson@toot.cat @fraggle@social.coop Sure thing, I'd be happy to! GCD-009 is a proposal to extend the ActivityPub protocol with ATProto. Hope this helps!

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Those "AI detector" services are worse than useless, anyway, statistically speaking (because they're harmful), but they're also just... not really possible.

An analog would be like trying to determine if your ruler was accurate... by measuring it against itself. It just doesn't work or make any sense.

@dalias@hachyderm.io basically assumed that second part, yeah -_- blehhhhh!

But that first one! Damn, that's quite a trick they've pulled there for sure. Ugh, I hate capitalism.

awwwww fuck, accidentally bought pectin with sugar (can you even find it without it!?) and the ratio of sugar to pectin is goddamn 8 to 1, meaning I have to add 9 grams of the mixture to get 1 bloody gram of pectin…

Meaning my initial estimate of how much pectin I’d need to add to 1.89 litres of finished product to get roughly a 1% pectin mixture is roughly 170 fucking grams of the stuff, of which 151 grams is sugar

Which is 51 more grams of sugar than the recipe currently calls for, which I was thinking of reducing as it is!! Damn man. I wonder if you can buy “just pectin”. Not pectin+sugar+citric acid. We’re not all trying to make jam, pal…

@jrdepriest@infosec.exchange @Viss@mastodon.social @liquor_american@universeodon.com Having lived his whole life in one of the wealthiest parts of America, Mueller couldn’t help thinking his area probably had some ties to Jeffrey Epstein. “I think it’s very difficult to get an immense amount of money without—this is my opinion—without doing something a little shady,” Mueller saysfrom the mouths of babes, as they say. from the mouths of babes.

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place @cwebber@social.coop best part of Ringu truly is when you're cracking open some boys with the cold ones

@pikhq@social.treehouse.systems it's odd, but this post made me wonder, "are all the boosters male?" I'm sure there's some booster out there that's a woman. Right? Statistically speaking.

I haven't met her, or seen her, or heard about her, and to be honest, I'm as disinterested in meeting her as I am any other booster, but..

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io @brianhonan@mastodon.social I'm not even watching and I hope Belgium beats the fuck out of the US.

"should people have AC?" is really just "which people deserve to stay alive in a world made more hostile to human life"

it's not a question I'm interested in debating because it's in bad faith (or, if the person isn't aware it's in bad faith, is wasted energy)

save as many as you can. Upgrade our infrastructure, re-allocate resources to keeping people alive. The question really isn't "who deserves it" or "should we" but just "how do we do it".

AC is not a luxury. Full stop. Climate control is not a luxury. It is a necessity for human life. We break down and die outside of a certain temperature. You wanna talk about "biological realities", there's a fucking biological reality for you.

I've found that a lot of social questions boil down to, "who deserves to thrive?" and/or "who deserves to live?" and in looking at them like that, it becomes remarkably easy to predict what a person's viewpoint is going to be on public transit, climate control, food, housing, policing, etc.

"some people are alive without AC" yeah, and others aren't, what is your point?

"cultures have lived in the heat since forever" yeah, and they build infrastructure to help them stay alive!

so until our dwellings and buildings are capable of regulating their temperature to keep humans alive and comfortable we'll probably have to rely on methods like air conditioning. not gonna fucking entertain the question of "who deserves to not die of heat stroke" disguised under the false premise that not boiling to death is a luxury.

I really don't get why people are arguing about whether or not AC is necessary in deadly heat while the oligarchs who have, and continue, to ruin the climate and hoard resources and destroy things just...

just kinda feels like smoke blown artificially to distract from the people who built air conditioned bunkers out of stolen wealth

seems like it would be better to talk about how to take the resources back and build infrastructure suitable to a changing climate

@cwebber@social.coop Noah’s flood was a metaphor about how too much sauce kills you, obviously!! You’ve gotta have the stuff on the top! It’s the only way to live!
