@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @catsalad@infosec.exchange yeah, but i just wanted to be funny and didnt click it :( Can i distract you from that with a cat picture?

@jwz@mastodon.social well actually, clicking the link isn't enough, you also need to read them. (Sorry, couldn't resist please don't block me :D)

@wtay @TheEntity @lu_leipzig @downey the point is not "excluding people for their political views" It's more about helping to fight back against a change that is sold to us as inevitable but has huge social and environmental impacts. By not accepting LLM generated code, you help push back against this. See it more akin to supporting renewable energy, instead of burning coal. Or supporting social programs in your area, instead of paying for bigger jails. Join in, and help stop gen-AI.

@futurebird@sauropods.win when i hit a wall with searches, i would ask myself: "how would someone who has no clue about this topic search for this." That used to help sometimes, but now it doesn't matter how I word the search, it only takes into account the most common word, ignores everything around it and spits out the most common places where it shows up. Even listing pages that are clearly off topic instead of small sites. (Although i suspect that has to do with the sites using google AdSense or not.)

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @catsalad@infosec.exchange if you're not using QuantumAgent skills for your AI workflow yet, you're missing out!

@markus_netzpolitik@chaos.social haben sie den Artikel gelesen? Voll von dem üblichen Unsinn der LLMs "Absichten" und "Selbsterhaltungstrieb" zuschreibt. Ja, diese Technologie muss reguliert werden, aber nicht aus den wirklich dämlichen gründen von denen der Artikel spricht. (Nein, ich hab ihn nicht zu Ende gelesen, der Anfang war schon dumm genug.)

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @foone@digipres.club yes, i too, erhm.. have friends that happened to.

@Phangurl@starbase80.wtf because he plays like an asshole. He is smart and quick thinking enough to know exactly when the referee can't see a foul and uses this ruthlessly. Same as the whole argentinian team btw. That foul that got one of them a red card in the final, could have led to serious injuries for the spanish player, especially on such a hard and bad quality field.

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange when i was 17, i tried to talk to an irish girl once, but she was so beautiful that my mouth just refused to cooperate. Could not speak. Nothing. I'm pretty sure my mouth moved a couple times without any sounds coming out. Soooo... What I'm saying is, this is almost certainly not what happened to that guy in your interview, but.. Who knows? :D

@sam@solent.social nice idea! I don't think there is a "works out of the box" option. But i found this: https://linux.die.net/man/1/autorun You should be able to install it, and put an executable file called autorun on the cd/dvd which gets executed. If you put the steam launch command for a specific game in that file, it should do what you want. (If i understood the manpage correctly) So, looks like it's possible without writing your own software.

@sundogplanets rare photo, right after mitosis!

@claudius @davep @ahltorp @jtb have you seen German politicians talk?

@dbattistella this is what Punk looks like(*) in 2026. (*) non-exclusive

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place done! Looking forward to the hat-puzzle-game :D

@joannaholman@aus.social if you tried to do that with (or to) this cat pictured here, there would need to be a fresh physiotherapist in each of the pictures...

@mym and they couldn't care less, because if you're a god among prey, these things just are not important. In other news, this morning i shaved the butt of the long haired orange black white cat that lives with us, and no, i don't know how those 2 facts go together either.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange didn't know you could still buy tiny netbooks 😋

@jackemled @flipper @futurebird yup, Occam's Razor, if it's the only explanation, then it must be the correct explanation.

@truhe@chaos.social is it posssible that you are confusing a rss feed of news from a website with a social media platform where people talk to each other? @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social

@scruss @nblr @dtl @cstross yeah, i feel the same, but it's hard to make the "its just a joke" crowd understand the problem. Maybe they never were told the "boy cries wolf" story as a kid.

@ErikUden@mastodon.de der letzte Mitarbeiter vom Kartellamt ist 1997 verstorben, das hat bisher nur niemand bemerkt.

@anja@chaos.social you are very lucky! What a beautiful void 😍

@hannah what a time to be alive.

@tezoatlipoca @nixCraft do you know why cars rust? It's not because we can't figure out how to make cars that don't. It's because that would make cars too expensive. That is gen-AI. If people had to pay the actual price for their use, they would hire humans instead. The product may be viable, but not at their true cost.

@pomegranate_stew friend-shaped bandit?

@KydiaMusic@mastodon.social sounds a bit like it is the foundation of vapor wave. Very cool!

@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk shouldn't even be necessary to say it after their "manifesto". Europe need to treat it like toxic waste.

@ErikUden hmm. Ich dachte man muss bescheid sagen, und nicht fragen ob man darf, und auch nur wenn man noch nicht gemustert wurde? Fact check? Wie ist es wirklich? Weiß es jemand?

@ErikUden ich hab den angry panda schon ein paar mal online in kontexten gesehen wo ich mir nicht sicher war ob rechts oder nicht. Ist das ein neues dogwhistle? Oder wo kommt das her?

@ddgulledge@social.linux.pizza @pluralistic@mamot.fr that's a good argument that this service is a sustainable business: the customer has to come back and pay for "license laundering" for each major release or important security fix they need. Courts will eventually have to decide if this despicable practice is legal.

@pixelschubsi @ErikUden Vielen Dank für die Infos, ich muss gleich mal ein post von mir editieren gehen :)

@stargrace what does "current management bought it" mean? That the actual humans leading it from iceland have put the money together to buy it?

@VE2UWY@mastodon.radio @ObbieZ@urbanists.social @straphanger@urbanists.social normal servers dont see the same load as compute GPUs though, from what i hear, a substantial percentage of them is literally trash after some years. So still true, but even worse than it used to be.

@Anomnomnomaly @Alice exactly this. It's even worse for electric cars. You can count the available elect estate cars on one hand and still have enough fingers left over to eat chips. When we bought our current car 4 years ago, there were zero options for electric estate cars. Only SUV and a few small hatchbacks.

@catsalad is this a possible new yarn-bombing trend? Little hats that go over the sensor turrets of delivery bots?

@fesshole@mastodon.social that'll be the last day we call them man's best friend :D

@gedeonm@mastodon.social half of your government is going to jail if they let that election happen.

@ricmac@mastodon.social this is just sad.

@babe all about this picture is perfect :D Especially the flower crown. I will need this as a reaction gif, I'm sure there is a situation where this is the perfect Reply.

@purplelotus13@mastodon.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr the problem is that all votes that dont go to the winning party are completely lost if i understood the system correctly. One party gets the majority, and thats it. No matter if 75% wanted something different, if one gets 20% and all others 19% the 20% win the election. please someone correct me, this is only what i remember from school, and its been a while... :)

@birdsarah@flipping.rocks the picture on the scale is hilarious. ;D This is exactly how i feel when i visit any doctor.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social don't worry, slop will reduce once the capital stops subsidizing inference costs.

@_elena@mastodon.social @paolo@mastodon.opencloud.lu @Gina@fosstodon.org Thank you for posting this :) I live in easy driving distance and didn't know about it. Ticket booked, now to see what talks i want to see !

@gloriouscow wtf? 👀

@gnuplusmatt@fosstodon.org when other search engines fail me (which is often) i use their 100 free searches. Its getting to the point where i consider more and more to pay them.

@swachter i have thought about selling things at local faires too, but I'm reluctant to use known imagery or logos. Are you not worried about selling things with the startrek logo or super mario mushroom?

@pixelschubsi @ErikUden gilt nur vor der musterung/grundausbildung? Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen das ich das nicht mitbekommen hätte das vor 2000 jeder über 18 dem militär bescheidsagen musste. das hätte ich wahrscheinlich mitbekommen.

@chris@mstdn.strafpla.net sorry, hab nach den ersten 5 worten aufgehört zu lesen, war nicht aufregend genug. [Dieser kommentar wurde ihnen präsentiert von der modernen aufmerksamkeitsökonomie]

@cstross@wandering.shop this is really tough. Prohibition is mostly pointless. There are certainly fewer people who consume whatever substance it covers. But never zero, and it criminalizes a subtantial number of people. Free sale is also not great, especially if adverts are allowed. Big problem is the socialized cost of healthcare from addictive substance abuse. Maybe sell them, no ads, and tax calculated to cover expected healthcare and other costs they produce, and used exclusively to cover that?
