Because all their friends stay. So to get them to switch, you’d need everyone thay know to switch, which would need everyone they know to switch…

… soon, you need to organize a switch between millions of people, which really isn’t happening.

So the only people on fedi are those ok with keeping multiple profiles, and even then just the ones that value the technical aspects over quantity of content: mostly tech nerds and people with strong feelings about politics.

Cold soda holds on to carbonation better. Try keeping it in the fridge before pouring. This also reduces how much the ice waters down your soda

But when China steals all their (arguably not copywrite-able) work…

TLDR:

They found debugging commands that can be used to access the memory of the device over USB. This is as much a backdoor as any device that runs unsigned firmware

Unless you store secret files on your Bluetooth dongle, you shouldn’t have to worry about this.

Cartels have boats, but no one’s shipping drugs up to Canada just to smuggle them south: They just get shipped directly to the US

Trump is just making up an excuse to justify cutting off trade with Canada.

Really, the whole fentanyl thing seems like scaremongering: People do overdose on it, but you won’t die from touching it or inhaling trace quantity. It’s not even the most potent opioid known, not even close to it.

If it’s not running on the cloud, I can always just stay on an old version. If it’s open source, that old version can be maintained and updated indefinitely.

Save money and get to know your neighbors.

Trump probably won’t cause total collapse, so a basement full of beans is unlikely to be useful, but anyone relying on welfare or part of a minority group will need support. Savings will help with that, and could come in handy if you yourself get fired, either because of discrimination or economic recession.

Not at all. Eggs were never a significant experience to begin with.

Yeah, I’m much more worried about someone in my country spying on me then China, like what are they gonna do from the other side of the world?

It’s not so much that we know there was nothing before it, but that we can’t figure out what was before it.

Randall did the math on this one: https://what-if.xkcd.com/31/

He assumes 64 GB microsd cards, if you use 1 TB ones, you could send 16 times more.

Easiest and most secure way? Mail (or hand deliver) a flash drive. That’s how they transfer data between super computers and data centers. (AWS even has dedicated trucks to do it)

Get a display case and put a note with the story on it. That way it’s clear its being kept from historical/sentimental value and not because you like Nazis.

Hot take, C is better then C++. It really just has one unique footgun, pointers, which can be avoided most of the time. C++ has lots of (smart)pointer related footguns, each with their own rules.

Fake nudes of real people are generally illegal, regardless of if the nude is real, or photoshopped, or AI generated.

People have been arrested and convicted for AI porn of real people.

For now convictions seem to be confined to people who have already created/used more traditional CSAM (hidden cameras). This could just be because it is hard to catch someone simply generating images, so if someone with no record would be jailed for just fake nudes remains an open question. Fake nudes of fictional people are also very much an open question. Being very new technology, new laws have yet to be made, so feel free to write to lawmakers about where the line should be.

Prevent subprocess from killing itself until finished.

Fuck around and find out.

Wikipedia says the damage from this is mostly heals after a few months, so they will probobly be fine. Will be an intresting few months though.
