It's great!

Blocking the kind of unhinged people who dredge through someone's comment history for something to take out of context, comment personal insults, then edit the insults into image spam is still viable.

Don't feel dumb! This is just normal learning!

Symlinks are possible in Windows (at least in NTFS filesystems) but to my knowledge they aren't used by anything official.

Windows's weird "psuedo folders" thing it does with "Documents" etc is something else entirely.

This is thematically similar to an idea I brainstormed with a bunch of college friends ages ago.

Instead of an RPG with a fishing minigame, a full fledged fishing game with a semi-hidden JRPG side mode. Like one of those weirdly detailed Dreamcast fishing games, then halfway through you start fishing up vaguely Lovecraftian things. Things get weirder until someone dies in an accident during a tournament, and when that lake reopens you fish his undead body out and start some JRPG shit with Cthulhu and Atlantis. Complete that and it goes back to fishing game like nothing happened.

This was before the trend of "secretly a horror game" indie games, and the tone was more goofy than it sounds.

Anyway, I'll have to check this out!

Speedrunning terms are a gold mine for this sort of thing.

Most obvious one is "gay baby jail".

What part of it? The app itself? There are alternative clients. The protocol? It's made for people to host app repos, not to ensure everything hosted in an F-Droid compatible repo is safe. The fact that reproducible builds arenct enforced? There's always a gap where you're trusting a third party unless you're building everything from source yourself.

It's the android equivalent of a package manager.

F-Droid is like any other place you get apps and programs to run on one of your devices: caveat emptor. At least all packages are open source so you can review yourself.

This is as absurd as saying you don't use linux because someone could typosquat a fake repo or app through the package manager.

Would be nice to have some more content there leaning more into the weird than the depressing.

Of all the jokes C&H could do about "mouthful mode", this is far tamer than I was prepared for.

I can see the logic. The realities of day to day life and managing a household together are a considerably larger presence than most people realize until they're shoulder deep into adult life.

We can filter out NSFW work

[citation needed]

I have that turned on, and I heavily lean on blocking communities and users, and I still get NSFW shit fairly regularly.

Maybe make use of the existing blocking features, and use a client that has keyword filtering?

I've been able to get my experience pretty damn close to as filtered as I want it just with community, instance, and user blocking.

Who decides what is "without a doubt"?

Everyone's personal barometer is going to vary on that wildly.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

If each instance decides on their own usage, then it no longer becomes a useful filter. We already see this with the NSFW tag (god forbid I ask for it to be put on a post showing the business end of a fleshlight hanging out the rear end of a stuffed animal dog, that isn't nsfw apparently because it's not real nudity or something).

From one coder to another: This is classic coder overconfidence. The complexity isn't in the hypothetical code but in the people and how the feature may or may not be used.

Explodingheads is going to have a distinctly different idea of "political" than Lemmygrad.


The Fediverse has few enough daily users that you can block political communities and the people who post overwhelmingly political content outside of those communities.

You can also use one of the handful of clients that allow keyword filtering.

Hahahahaha. At least they had the balls to publish and host it themselves.

 

Love this inversion of the song trope of lamenting the loss of nature. It's a satirical lament of the loss of corporate development.

Lyrics:

Here we stand

Like an Adam and an Eve

Waterfalls

The Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

So beautiful and strong

The birds in the trees

Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs

Cars have run on gasoline

Where, where have they gone?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory

Now, there are mountains and rivers

You got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake

Now, we got something for dinner

We got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall

Now, it's all covered with flowers

You've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise

I wish I had a lawnmower

You've got it, you've got it

Years ago

I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

That I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate

Now, it's only fields and trees

Where, where is the town?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars

Were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that we'd start over

But I guess I was wrong, hey

Once there were parking lots

Now, it's a peaceful oasis

You got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut

Now, it's all covered with daisies

You got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks

Dairy Queens and Seven-Elevens

You got it, you got it

And as things fell apart

Nobody paid much attention

You got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies

Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies

You got it, you got it

We used to microwave

Now, we just eat nuts and berries

You got it, you got it

This was a discount store

Now, it's turned into a cornfield

You got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here

I can't get used to this lifestyle

 

US Congress proposed bill to allow AI to prescribe drugs and medical treatment

Original post from the Fuck AI community: https://lemmy.world/post/24681591

The fact that this has even been proposed is horrifying on so many fucking levels. Technically it has to be approved by the state invovled and the FDA, but opening this door even a crack is so absurdly out of touch with reality.

 
 

What's your favorite pronoun candy?

 

I always get a kick out of goofy ass edits of right wing, facebook tier "memes"

 
 
 

New Ed! Not much particularly new info, just a general lament and summary of the state of tech and how much has been pinned on magical thinking. Has some wonderfully quotable sections.

What if what we're seeing today isn't a glimpse of the future, but the new terms of the present? What if artificial intelligence isn't actually capable of doing much more than what we're seeing today, and what if there's no clear timeline when it'll be able to do more? What if this entire hype cycle has been built, goosed by a compliant media ready and willing to take career-embellishers at their word?

Please forgive my addition to the title, as it's meant to be a play on "Waiting for Godot", not a comment on the Godot game engine. Wanted to make that more clear than the title alone would.

 

This old youtube poop has ruined Le Mis for me. Sends me into the giggles. Can't believe this poop is 11 years old. An absolute classic from DaThings.

Prisoner 24602064^5^1! You're no one. Lol. Your time is up ^and your time is up^ and I'm Javert! You know what that means.

It means I'm free~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e.
