  • Senegal Cut Traffic in Half With Electric Buses - YouTube

    Jump

  • At least in Canada I cannot find a Japanese Battery EV, seems like they're (almost) all Hybrids. I think Japan spent so many years trying to push Hydrogen, and they sabotaged their battery chances as a result.

    The Korean options seem good, though!

  • Make a wish

  • "That'll still count as a wish though"

  • Jellyfin critical security update - This is not a joke

    Jump

  • Honestly, I'm not a big fan if Microsoft generally, but I found NFS to be surprisingly not great for non-permanent infrastructure, whereas SMB took a few minutes and works great, at least in my use cases. Maybe I'm just a loser, though.

  • Dudes will date a girl for 6+ years and have something like this as her contact photo

    Jump

  • I know this is a stereotype, and doesn't apply to all men or women, but I think it's important. I think the woman thinks "if I'm important to you, you should represent me at my best", which I could maybe see as a form of respect or something.

    But the dude is like "I don't love you for your best, I love you at your silliest. This is a photo of you no one else has, and gives me the feeling of when we're together. Anyone can use your LinkedIn headshot or some photo from Instagram of you posing over some drinks."

    I'm not sure stereotypical women have noticed their guys while setting up an Instagram photo, but they're not cherishing those moments 😛

  • Jellyfin critical security update - This is not a joke

    Jump

  • I know you're gatekeeping from Turd Mountain, but just for completeness, the reason I use Jellyfin besides the "pretty for my wife" reason is that it keeps track of her progress between clients. She sometimes watches things on her laptop, sometimes her phone, sometimes her tablet, and sometimes the TV, and no matter which one she uses it'll remember which episode of her show is the next episode. It also highlights when a new episode of something has been added and cues her to watch the new episode that just came out.

    But yeah, if I was alone and only had a pile of anime I'd already seen before, which I only watched from my Linux devices, Samba and VLC would do me fine 😛

  • What’s the Facebook clone in the fediverse?

    Jump

  • I know this is a little off-topic, but I felt like this was a comically extreme example of the "fun" of the Fediverse, to have come up organically here in the Fediverse community.

    "Hey, is there something like Facebook?"

    "No, we're not like that here. I've got some interesting information about that on my own website"

    "That link doesn't work"

    "Oh that's right, we totally broke it and I forgot, and gave you a broken link to my own instance. Anyway, in liue of working links, here's some text you can use to fish around on my website with instead"

    😛

    Nothing in this world is forever, and I hate Facebook, but I bet there's Facebook links that people have to some special post or photo from their life from 16 years ago, and we got a broken link live from a site that might be gone in 2 years. 😉

  • this keeps happening

  • violet08: Something something if they like stress, the rockclimbers should come climb me.

    Thank you, thank you. I'll be here until I'm not.

  • RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More)

    Jump

  • This is one of the reasons these "let's replace Discord" threads are so tricky. I use Discord basically every day, and heavily twice a week for games nights with two different groups, for 6 years. I'm in there. And I have never uploaded a clip or streamed anything, so I never considered that this might be something people want, or are using the platform for. And I've seen a few custom emoji around, but never considered using some dude's emoji in a different group's chat.

    So it's wild how different people are using it, and getting one replacement to do all of it is a big ask!

  • NFS: stale file handle in contaniers after snapraid sync

    Jump

  • Btw

    Jump

  • Yeah I mean, this is the benefit of the fragmentation. If you don't want to update all the time, you just use a different distro. I know I do, I've run Linux for 21 years now and never once run Arch because I don't want what it does, but we're still on the same team, and the things they do benefit me nonetheless. There are drawbacks to the fragmentation, but this is one of the benefits.

  • Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

    Jump

  • I'm not a fanboi of AI, but also not all AI is equally capable. You can be upset for ethical reasons, you can dislike some things it produces for style reasons, and yes it does sometimes produce code that feels like it should work, even though it doesn't. All of these things are true.

    But also Claude doing coding is very different than the AI answers on Google searches, and even those are much better than a cherry-picked highlight reel of bad results on a blog post.

    Again, you don't have to like AI or agree with its use, but claiming the code Claude produces is fully bullshit because some customer support chatbot does a bad job is just being misinformed. You should at least know your enemy and its capabilities.

  • Democrats vow to shut down Senate over Iran conflict

    Jump

  • I wonder what they think the word "vow" means... 🤔

  • Working to Decentralize FedCM

    Jump

  • OIDC is innately centralized

    Huh, that's not my understanding. I was there when it first came out, and the whole point was to allow you to use any URI of your choice as an authenticator. Let's see what the first line of Wikipedia has to say:

    OpenID is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol

    Huh. 🤔

  • Is private age verification technically possible and if so how?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this is part of the "setting aside" stuff, but I'd ask why age needs to be verified and not simply stated.

    I'm the admin on this device, I say I'm 50, why does the website need to check some ID to prove I'm 50? They trust what I reported, and if I lied to them that's on me. It shouldn't be the websites' job to validate.

  • US state laws push age checks into the operating system

    Jump

  • For sure. If we wanted to protect kids with no intrusion we'd just make an HTTP header that was "user age" and then let the sites decide what to show and what to block. Porn sites don't want to show dicks to 6 year olds, it'd be 10 seconds to make an nginx rule that says "if user age < 18, show static error page".

    And that's it, easy peasy. If we wanted to, at that point we could start suing individual sites that choose not to use that information in order to get compliance, but probably we don't need to, since it's pretty easy to support and like I said, there's no money in showing these things to kids anyway.

    But that's not what it's about.

  • Duolingo is dying celebratory thread

    Jump

  • Right, but is it a language learning app? Or is it a "play games with aggressive owl" app with a language learning theme? Because if after 365 straight days of playing games with owl you cannot use the language you've been "learning" to communicate, then you aren't learning a language. And if you're not learning the language, then what are you doing with the owl?

  • Duolingo is dying celebratory thread

    Jump

  • Right, except OP and the research suggests it's not effective, even though it feels like you're doing it. So yes, 10 minutes of walking a day is interior to an hour of HIIT, obviously. And yes 10 minutes of walking a day is better than not walking in a day, for your health. But no matter how many days in a row you slowly walk 10 minutes, you'll never be able to run a marathon. It just doesn't do that.

    So if everyone's goal with Duolingo was to vaguely know some words in a language they can't communicate in, and it was just a brain exercise like a crossword, then sure. No harm done.

    But that's not most people's goal, and what the research shows is that for all the time people spend doing it, they could have spent that time doing something else and actually made progress towards their goals.

  • Give them a break <3

  • I think it was Hank Azaria. Or at least I've seen some clip of him talking about how a lot of his characters start as "bad impressions" of famous people.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Modern choice, only one season so far with another coming of unknown quality, but I liked Murderbot, personally. Sci Fi, dark comedy, with a dash of wholesome. I liked it!
