If creating new life and welcoming a new person into your world is "mundane", or exploring new corners of this tiny world that we are confined to is not interesting to you, then you really gotta tell me about the mind-blowing stuff you're doing every day that takes precedence.
For a real friend? Absolutely! I'll hunt them down. For a coworker or loose acquaintance? I care a little less, but it's still nice to see occasional baby photos and vacation pics.
I can't believe people would fake politeness about this! No wonder we're all so damn lonely. If you really don't care, why not just say that those things bore you? It would probably make for deeper connections with everyone involved. You wouldn't have to waste your time with them, and they wouldn't waste their time with you!
At a stop? Who cares? Can't being closer together at a stop light at least help with intersections? I guess it depends on the city.
If you're driving a manual and you roll back on a stop, you shouldn't be driving a manual. Unless you live in like San Francisco I guess? In the Appalachian region, cops will stop you for rolling back.
Oh shit Zero just linked a dictionary, I am ruined! But sorry, no. One is not "ignorant" in a vacuum. One must always be ignorant TO something. There's always so much we don't know. Apparently you haven't figured that out yet. Or maybe you have, Zero the All-Knowing. Why else would you be throwing so much shade to people who don't know random bullshit about your own proximity? Anyway, bye forever, Star of the Universe.
Thanks for the clarification! Never heard of the place or the festival. Or the trump rally, for that matter. Also fuck OP for being an obnoxious prick to you in response to this useful clarification
It's odd that you act like not knowing some California music festival is "ignorance". What is the word for assuming everyone on earth gives a shit about what Americans are doing? I mean they only had their first asian headliner last year... I'm guessing the majority of humans have never heard of this shit.
Everyone's in here talking about downvotes... I read this meme and thought "You seriously get into arguments on the internet?" The most I'll do is leave a comment telling someone they're full of it and then ignore the rest. Since the comment is more for the silent masses reading than the person I'm replying to. Hey, kinda like this comment. OP probably will spend their days in smug misery but I hope the rest of yall can step away from this petty bullshit some time.
Memes are nothing like logographs ("kanji") linguistically speaking
yeah makes sense. and so was DS3, which a lot of people compared to bloodborn
Yeah I really don't get why Fromsoft hitched that game so tightly to Sony. They were already on the map!
All these physics answers! The funnest explanation for a kid is just that music is only there when you're listening to it. If you don't listen, there's no music. When you start listening again, music comes back. Then ask if they can hear the music of the wind.
I think they said /siˈan/
I want to go there. with crackers.
Um, did she at least cover it?
The consequences of not growing up with first you take the graham, then you take the mallow!
wait, are you saying women don't give you complements or that gays don't give honest ones?
살 and 쌀 are the same word
Hear me out. There's nothing innate to an object that makes it "food". It's an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that's edible "food". Does that make it a social construct?
I accidentally added something to the filtered keyword list and i dont see a way to remove it.

Help me understand Voice Recognition tech
I am interested in getting an app that would allow me to make notes via voice-to-text. I work in a field with HIPAA protections. I'm having trouble figuring out the nuances of privacy related to these apps.
First off, is this kind of software considered "AI"? How does it even recognize that a sound equals a word? Do they use LLM tech? Does the tech learn to recognize my voice better over time? Does it use my recordings to learn to understand other's voices? Is this all a black box? How can I take precautions such that no one except me hears the things I transcribe?
This is just such confusing tech! It seems like it's fairly old and common but the more I think about it in relation to current age AI, the more creeped out I get! And yet my doctor uses one regularly... I'll be asking her about it too, don't worry.
Thank you!
I appreciate all the hard work you do, but this is a hard No for me. I can't use an app that forces me to view landscape gifs in portrait mode. Is a rotation button a feature you'd consider?
Someone told me to post this here and that's all I got to say.
My popular opinion is that I don't like this flavor of subcommunity
I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.
"I wanna watch X, let's see if Netflix has it..."
\Opens webpage
"Hmm... Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I'm just gonna say I'll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let's still confirm that Netflix doesn't have X..."
Next thing you know, I'm watching Y off my hard drive.
Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point....
No, I wont name the specific title. I don't want to break Rule 3. But I do want to understand why a movie or show can be so hard to find, because maybe that will lead me to understanding how to find things.
I am surprised how hard it is to find some titles. Maybe it's because the one I'm thinking of is an old title, 60s or 70s era. But it's extremely popular, even today. It's been on hopping around streaming services. One would think it would be readily available on the high seas too. I don't really know how one creates a torrent but I'm assuming anything that can be streamed can be captured. I guess maybe it's just not as popular as I think?
I'm working on becoming familiar with wings, chains, uniques, and all the sea animals and skyscrapers. Whatcha see here?
I just checked out Twitch again after a while and WOW has that site gotten shitty. But I'm trying to watch someone and really don't want ads every few minutes. Instead of paying Bezos to remove half the ads, how can I configure my uBlock Origin to block them all for free?
I got a box full of a bunch of stuff from over the years. Some big, some small, some expensive, some cheap. It seems like a shame to throw it all in a landfill, with or without personal data.
I don't see Old Reddit lasting long. They've cut beloved features before, and they're still calling New Reddit a "beta feature". After they've pumped enough resources into developing it, I'm sure they'll move past the "test" phase and just cut Old Reddit out entirely. That's probably going to be Lemmy's next big user surge.
Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy? I remember for a while this past June 2023 there were a lot of auto-deletions for mentioning or linking to Lemmy. I was never clear on who was deleting things and where. I guess linking to the r/Lemmy subreddit (or a fediverse sub) could work as long as the subreddit doesn't get banned.
Surprised this place doesn't have more shitty posts like this one if ppl actually followed the rule
site is popping ya?
[Resolved, thanks!]
Weird, but I just got two copyright notices from my ISP. I always use a paid VPN (Proton). How'd they see me?
I did accidentally open qBitTorrent before connecting to the VPN yesterday, but immediately exited the program before anything loaded. Is that enough time to get two strikes? One was for seeding TNG S03 and the other for TNG S05 lol.
What confuses me is that that happened yesterday, but the email lists the day prior as the time of offense.
So I guess it's time to set up a kill switch or make sure the qBitTorrent wont open without Proton connected. If anyone has a guide for that send a link my way.... thanks.
