I wonder if anyone’s “Trump converts to Islam on Easter Sunday” bet has paid out…

Proposed revision: Do not use Copilot for business purposes.

Hurry! Stir up more bullshit, we need to distract from Iran which was our distraction from the Epstein Files!!!

I’ll be honest, I don’t like the way AI is pushed and speculation ruining the price of computing, but it has helped me once or twice. For example I used someone’s vibecoded driver patch to get a relatively ancient audio interface working, which was the last thing that I would have missed using Windows for.

Oil was flowing through the Strait fine without US help. Now look at what they did.

Take Amtrak.

Yep. And I already know that he knows to announce unpopular stuff at 4:31 PM Eastern time on Fridays, right after the stock markets close for the week.

It appears the rear fell off. Senator, is this a state such a craft could typically find itself?

You put billions into it, Microslop. You should ask Slopilot how it can turn things around for you.

Years ago, one of my buddies tried to open a very long spreadsheet and Libreoffice couldn’t do it. I think the maximum row and columns reached parity in version 7. I think one more cosmetic feature that is missing is the easy to access table and chart style templates.

House Republicans enjoy not governing and taking the taxpayer’s paycheque.

Biggest for me is no promoted garbage. Second is that I can have more indepth conversations than on Reddit. Your replies can get seen if you post on “Hot” even if they’re not cheesy one-liners. Quality of discussion is far better than my last few years of using Reddit full time (until 2023).

Once in a while I glance at the Reddit website and there’s just so much short form video on the front page that it’s so annoying to know what’s going on.

Of course the more popular discussion topics (USA, tech, politics) are largely going to be the same as Reddit.

One advantage of this model is that moderation is more tailored to the instance topics of interest, without losing too much of the wider sphere. So .world can handle most of the popular general topics, but mander can handle moderation of topics from a more scientific lens, .dbzer0 can handle the intricacies around copyright law, .blahaj zone vehemently protects users right to call themselves whatever they wish, so on and so forth. With Reddit, if the site admins don’t like something you do, you get shut down no matter whether the community there accepts it or not. Here, if that happens and is unpopular, people can leave and go to another domain without leaving the federated network. Another is that servers hosted in countries outside the USA (feddit.de, lemmy.ca etc.) don’t necessarily have to follow USA law, while Reddit does.

The scammer is not going to be on the phone with the victim for 24 hours continuously.

Yeah, I take issue with that, but I don’t think it would be used if people complain to banks that reading the flag bricks the app.

I tend to favour privacy over big tech control, but I recognize we have to at least consider the cost-benefit of these tradeoffs, to live in a society. Of course I’d prefer a phone with no warnings, no nagging, if you get scammed that’s my fault and I will keep my phone that way if it means I will stay off Android 15 and de-Google my next phone. But Google’s plan is within the realm of an acceptable compromise to me because sideloading is still available to everyone without registration with Google. Each person will feel differently about it.

Taking your position to the extreme, if trading liberty for comfort is “always” a bad idea with no exceptions, you can turn off your phone and do without the comfort of it. (Only saying this because always is the word you chose to use.) To accept cellular and home internet services to communicate in the public realm requires you to give up some level of privacy, though of course it can be possible to stop a lot of the unnecessary surveillance that happens along with the necessary tradeoff.

If the process doesn’t include any phone home stuff, and is just a one-time cool off period to prevent scammers, this is acceptable to me. That should be enough to get potential victims to self-question, ask more knowledgeable people of what’s going on to avoid being unknowingly hacked, without being naggy every time for users that want to do what they want.

Making a software “foolproof” will probably invent a bigger better fool, hoping for some sort of free crypto app jumping through these hoops, but this should weed out most of the basic scams.

Forget a backup plan. Their main plan was half-baked, at best.

Soooo Tucker, this “Democrat” silencing of critics that you’ve harped about for years and years… it’s actually Republicans that do it, way worse and on super false pretenses. Enjoy your reward for being a forever constipated-looking Republican talking head.

🫰Done! I’ve deleted all existing recovery infrastructure! Now your disaster recovery routine has been reduced to 1 second, which is the time it takes to put your human head in your hands and cry!

Well just like a MATLAB plotting program “draws” lines and curves and stuff, Claude is a programs that puts together various reasonings based on the mathematician’s input.
