Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing to have only available via subscription? And what isn't yet, but would be?English
3·4 days agoI basically spend 40hrs a week hosting presentations where I’m constantly drawing and clicking and highlighting text. So maybe.
On top of that I spend another 5-10 hrs a week doing non-meeting stuff.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican declares second "civil war" has started in USEnglish
124·5 days agoI’m sure it is documented, but I’m just thinking now if families during the civil war were as divided over politics as people are today.
My Dad loves Trump, I am on the other side. I would not fight in a war, as I would not fight against my family even though we do not agree politically.

338·5 days agoI think there are a lot of things that are behind subscriptions that you do not realize. One example is computer mice.
They use switches that are only rated for a certain number of clicks before they stop working.
I was going through mice about once every 18 months. I decided to learn to soldier and just replace the switches once they broke.
I found that the switched in the $100 Logitech mouse I bought were only rated for 5 or 10 million clicks. The switch they use can be purchased in a 70 million version. Why didn’t they use that from the start?
I ended up repairing 3 mice and have a lot of extra switches sitting in a bit at home.

Technology@lemmy.world•Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faithEnglish
355·6 days agoHow is a cyber squatter worse than companies who squat on other things like money or diamonds.
The man bought the domain and if lambo wants it, they can buy it from him.
How long until other companies start trying to get any domain name that is part of their name now?

politics @lemmy.world•Trump's return to MAGA rallies is a flopEnglish
221·6 days agoYeah we are great now.
Can’t you tell, we have less pencils in our home and umm… pencils are made with lead, and that is bad for us.
Oh, they are also made with wood and that can catch fire. So our homes are safer.
Umm and uhh… You know, I could slip and fall on a pencil.
So, yeah, We are great again.
/s < if it wasn’t obvious.
Also I know pencils are not made of lead, they are made of graphite.

223·8 days agoI’d love to see games do this because they are clearly not being optimized. Can’t wait to see that not happen.
Good thing, I’m happy with retro games and the occasional indie.

12·8 days agoI left windows just 2 months ago to use a MacBook for work.
In both computers I had 16gb of ram.
Windows usage was significantly higher in regard to ram usage.
I use today Linux is way more efficient, but after seeing similar efficiency with Mac, I’m changing my language to say Windows is extremely inefficient.

World News@lemmy.world•Three French teens drown in freak car crash in swimming poolEnglish

World News@lemmy.world•Three French teens drown in freak car crash in swimming poolEnglish
6·12 days agoWell, it appears that they were doing drugs and letting the 14 year old drive.
That’s still to be confirmed, but the articles states there were empty NO2 cans in the car and due to positions it looks like the 14 year old was driving.
But if you are going to be driving around on drugs, I don’t have sympathy for you.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Advice on which PS3 model to get?English
5·15 days agoI live in a third would country and getting games here could be difficult if not impossible for some titles.
So, I may need to resort to backups. It sounds like ps3hen would be suitable for me.

Technology@lemmy.world•I would like to create my own digital chatting "character"English
1·17 days agoI do not really understand what you want to do. But I think you want to use an existing AI model and create your own personality from it.
Is that correct?
If so, you want to download ollama and run it. Then you will also download and run sillytavern.
In Sillytavern, you can create different characters and give them different personalities.
This does require some technical knowledge, but it does not require you to code anything. You will also need a GPU with ha decent amount of ram for any complexity.

1·20 days agoSo is this a huge breakthrough that’s going to be adopted by ai companies across the board? Or maybe there is some downside.


OMG. These plans are getting on my nerves.
When a parent gives a kid their device and sets the child’s birthday, then enable these. If the birthday is over 18, the let them do what they want.
Let parents parent the kid and get the government out of my life.
