  • Trump Explodes With F-Bomb Rant as His Peace Plan Implodes

    Jump

  • Didn’t he brag about solving something like a dozen wars, and thus deserved the Nobel peace prize? This isn’t even a full fledged war, so why can’t he solve this?

  • Waymo Pulled Its Cars From the Freeway After One Fled Police With Horrified Couple on Board

    Jump

  • Yeah, but that would require raising taxes, which the billionaires have convinced the masses is a terrible thing because socialism, and look where that’s gotten third world socialist countries.

    The only solution, according to the billionaires, and the brainwashed masses, is to give even more money to the billionaires so that they can privatize things even more and throw cutting edge technology at the problem instead of proven solutions like light rail, etc.

  • Public transit in the US simply isn’t good enough in many cases. Years ago I lived in a suburb north of Boston and worked in another suburb west of Boston. It was about a 40 minute drive during rush hour. Trying to do that same commute by public transit likely would have taken me 4+ hours and involved a bus to a subway into Boston followed by a commuter train and another bus. It would have been a nightmare.

  • Estimated share of global web traffic generated by humans and bots (2018-2025)

    Jump

  • I’d consider search engine bots from the likes of Google, Microsoft, etc. to be benign. They provide a useful service to websites and honor robots.txt directives.

    Bots that impersonate Google etc. and/or ignore robots.txt are considered bad bots.

  • Estimated share of global web traffic generated by humans and bots (2018-2025)

    Jump

  • Many consider AI bots as very bad because they ignore established guidelines when crawling a given site. There is a well known and respected way sites can tell good bots how to behave, called robots.txt. Any website can create one and expect good bots (Google, Bing, Facebook, etc) to honor it. For example https://lemmy.world/robots.txt tells bots what paths it should NOT crawl, and the maximum speed at which it should crawl the site.

    Many AI bots have been seen completely disregarding this established standard.

  • How Many Pantsir Systems Has russia Placed on Moscow Rooftops to Protect Kremlin From Ukrainian Drones | Defense Express

    Jump

  • Let them sit there tracking decoys while Ukraine sends real waves of attack drones after targets that are unprotected or lightly protected. Keep chipping away at other air defenses.

  • People born in the 1900s, what was life like back then?

    Jump

  • Our TV picked up ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and one or two independent TV channels from New York. Our antenna was on a rotator so that you could point it in the optimal location for each.

  • People born in the 1900s, what was life like back then?

    Jump

  • Born in 1967. I remember as a kid during the summer that pretty much every afternoon 10-20 neighborhood kids would get together to play games like hide and seek or kick the can. We were in a semi-rural neighborhood so kids could live up to a mile away or so. The parents were more than happy for us to be somewhere random with a bunch of other kids.

    When parents had to call kids home for dinner they’d use bells, whistles, or other noisemakers. Pretty much every kid recognized the different sounds and knew which kids it applied to.

    My grandparents lived in New Hampshire. Their telephone was on a party line shared with 4 or 5 neighbors. We learned to answer it only if it rang twice in quick succession.

  • Air defense system being installed on the roof of a high-rise in Moscow in the fifth year of the "Special Military Operation".

    Jump

  • Ukraine likely wouldn’t fall for that bait. Keep targeting legitimate military targets.

  • Even if Russia never fires them it means they’re not in use elsewhere.

  • Russians complain that cheap Hornet UAVs now reach Crimea.

  • And then what happens to the explosive warhead that is now falling at a rate of 120 mph after ten seconds or so?

  • California moves to exempt Linux from its upcoming age-verification law after backlash over forcing operating systems to collect users’ ages

    Jump

  • I’m a DevOps engineer and my employer runs a lot of Linux instances in AWS. I’d love for these politicians to explain to me how age verification of Linux web servers should work for auto-scaling environments where instances are spun up and terminated automatically based on traffic volume. I’d also like to know if I should be using the age of our CEO, the age of our company (thanks to Citizens United), or something else.

  • Jellyfin to quadruple their prices following Plex's price increases

    Jump

  • Haven’t you heard the price of memory is skyrocketing?

  • So, has age verification really become the new normal?

    Jump

  • It damn well better remain an exception. I help manage a few hundred Linux systems in AWS for my employer. We patch those systems on a quarterly basis, which in some cases means building up a whole new instance from scratch. I shudder to think what it would mean if we somehow had to prove our age for each one of these systems. And whose age/identity would it be? Our CEO? Me? My boss?

  • ‘Senators are not happy’: How Trump pushed the GOP to the breaking point this week | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • Senators that are unable or unwilling to do their jobs should be fired. From a cannon.

  • Ukraine has successfully tested using balloons to launch Hornet strike and reconnaissance drones.

    Jump

  • Do it successfully once or twice, then just start launching mass numbers of balloons when conditions are right and only put a drone on 1% of them.

    The better way is to attach dummy drones made out of scrap material to all the decoy balloons. You don’t want to give them an easy way to identify which ones are decoys or not…

    When a judge tells the jury to ‘forget XYZ,’ how can the jury possibly do that?

    Jump

  • Juries often have one or more alternates. Those are jurors who sit in the jury box for the entire trial, but under normal conditions they aren’t in the jury room during deliberations. If a juror is unable to remain, for whatever reason, then the judge replaces that juror with one of the alternates. I sat on 2 days of a 3 day trial but tested positive for Covid the morning of the third, so I was excused. The judge replaced me with one of her alternates.

    If the judge got wind that a juror was disregarding such an order then that juror would likely be kicked out & replaced with an alternate. If the transgression by the juror was severe enough the judge could potentially also refer the juror to the Attorney Generals office for investigation and possible charges.
