Robin Williams, on my birthday. Great guy, a gamer, and knew his way around computers. It might not have hit as hard if it hadn’t been my birthday.

A bit more than Velcro. Memory foam, for example.

Soon to be Bo American (and proud of it).

A previous version of this article stated that the White House app was actively tracking users’ GPS coordinates every 4.5 minutes via OneSignal’s SDK. This characterisation, which circulated widely on X, including in posts that accumulated hundreds of thousands of views, has since been contested by independent technical analysis. Multiple developers who reviewed the decompiled code confirmed that while the GPS tracking constants exist within OneSignal’s bundled SDK, the app does not call that capability. No location permission prompt is issued to users upon installation, and OneSignal’s documentation states that location data is not collected unless a developer explicitly enables the feature. The GPS code is most likely residual from the SDK template rather than a deliberate implementation. This article has been updated to reflect that distinction.

This is at the bottom of the article.

Yes. Boost for Lemmy didn’t indicate what file format was used.

I only see a blank image and an empty body.

This is a smaller community with seemingly slightly more accountability, or at a minimum, decency and respect for our fellow humans and internet citizens. The majority of the animals on reddit because behave like 10 year olds in a COD lobby - hiding behind internet anonymity to act like complete assholes, and be as rude and disrespectful as they possibly can, because they believe there will be no consequences.

Microsoft locked down their Discord server because people were being griefers with constantly using Microslop. I got called a shill and on Microsoft’s payroll because I didn’t defend/celebrate that behavior. I try to not bad-mouth a company on their “premises” and if I do and then get kicked out then I shouldn’t blame the company for doing so. I don’t have a right to be a jerk to “them” on their property, even if it’s not to an actual person.

the Pentagon has said the contracts must allow the department to use the models as it sees fit, as long as those activities are lawful.

Who decides which activities are lawful? An official act by the President of the United States?

I suspect that the professor was trying to make it so that people would put some effort in instead of just giving up and lying.

Those in tech support wonder sometimes.

a-ha - Take On Me.

Over 12 years my highest voted comment on Reddit was 3 words and an ellipsis.

If it can’t do unique puns then it’s not me.

You might want to use Process Manager or the like to see if something is pegging the CPU/GPU. What is the model?

Are you using a cooling pad?

An employee on the work clock? Of course he is representing the company. If I see someone and they have a uniform then they are representing their company. They might be representing themself as well (personal reputation) but they are also representing their employer and their actions reflect on the company.

I think Trump is a piece of shit but you are in the wrong in this regard.

I sent the Darling link to a brother and suggested that he use it with Parallels… I couldn’t resist.

And it only takes one person with a grudge to cause a problem. I have seen it. I have shared accounts but very carefully and if someone abuses it then they permanently lose access to my stuff even if they are family.

People see me in cargo pants, polo shirt, a smartphone in my shirt pocket, and sometimes tech stuff in my (cargo) pants pockets and they assume that I am good at computers. I have an IT background and have been on the Internet since March of 1993 so they are correct. I call it the tech support uniform. However, people could dress similarly to try to fool people.

People will find ways, maybe makeup and prosthetics or AI modifications, to try to fool this system. Maybe they will learn to fake emotions. This system is a tool, not a solution.
