  • Right, but I don't wear shoes in my own home. I'm not asking them to do anything I'm not doing. I'd also like them to not piss in my plants, despite them being a guest.

  • Ugh, sometimes we'll be in the grocery store, and my wife will look at something that clearly says $7.99 and she'll say "oh it's only seven dollars". Every time. I can't believe how well that works on her. If I didn't like her so much, I don't know if I could handle it...

  • He was pretty expensive then too. He'd already done the Star Treks.

  • And in a roundabout, indirect, sense, Darth Vader did kill Uncle Owen. He just might not even know it...

  • Fedecan (lemmy.ca, piefed.ca, pixelfed.ca) will be moving away from Cloudflare

  • This seems sensible, but does have some edges...

    Like, if I use my phone at home, and out and about on cell, and at work, and at my in-laws, and at the library, then that's at least 5 "users" from one user as I change IPs.

    And if I'm on Tor, who knows how many users I count as, but definitely a lot more than 1.

    So I get what they're trying to do... but I don't think it'll work out fairly...

  • He was removed, not because he was bad, but because he was bad and unnecessary.

    If the monster world went into a blackout, he'd have been out and operating the child-reactor with full government support. Only because Sully found a new, compatible, source of power was the ethics of the old system finally up for debate. Slavery is only allowed to be abolished after it stops being "necessary" for the economics of the system.

    And yeah, it's a movie, so he got taken away in cuffs before the new power source was operationalized, but that's just a bit of movie magic 😉

  • Definitely Android apps can use WebRTC, and basically any apps that do voice or video calling very likely do.

    But more importantly, they don't even need WebRTC, because they can open up any sockets and communicate anything, unlike the browser that's more limited.

    Like, any app with network permissions can just call out to any server, which will then have the IP of the client. WebRTC not required.

    So yeah, you need all of the networking to go through a VPN to protect against this, if it's important to you.

  • Not to mention, given the labels on that one map, they seem to think Google satellite view is, like, a live camera feed from space or something they just overlay roads and borders and stuff onto?

    And that it would mean anything at all for the map to just suddenly have a big snake in it unexpectedly...

  • Woah Woah Woah, I can accept a BMW 5 Series 530i, but diesel fuel? Obviously the only fuel source in Middle Earth would be gasoline, and nothing else would be tolerated. Specifically leaded gasoline, because a dwarf wouldn't accept engine knock. In this four part essay, I intend to......

  • I was like "haha, that's funny" and then accidentally spent like 10 minutes finding stuff because I was curious where the binoculars could be. So... thanks I guess?

  • That's cool man, we're not talking about you. We're talking about Open AI, who pays employees hundreds of thousands of American dollars a year.

    You should be allowed to use it for free. And a donation from a company like them, could make it easier for a person like you to get an awesome cutting edge tool for free!

  • The difference is that a tip is "you're already getting paid to do your job, why would I pay you to do your job?". Whereas this is "you gave me this for free, so maybe if I make a bunch of money I could show appreciation for that gift" or pay-it-forward so the next guy can also get a free start, etc.

    And yes I know they're are busted places on this Earth where basically servers don't already get paid to do their job and are thus reliant on tips as income, but that's a different problem...

  • Chatta-newfy-doofy-poopy

  • Right, right, because of the crushing weight of responsibility should you transfer HPV between people. I understand. Well, I have good news for you! 😉

  • I think GPD is a company, and they make a device called the GPD Win 5. And I think that device is in the class of Handheld Devices called "AMD Strix Halo". And so a representative of GPD has said that the {GPD Win 5} will be the first {AMD Strix Halo} handheld device to ship with native Bazzite support.

    Now, what I can't answer without Googling, which I refuse to do on principle at this point, is what an AMD Strix Halo is, though I assume it's like a Steam Deck. And I don't know how anyone thought "AMD Strix Halo" was an acceptable name for a class of devices. And I'm also not sure why GPD thought GPD Win 5 was an acceptable name either. I guess, like, you win at games? And this is hopefully the 5th in the GPD Win family? But this name is too verby to me.

  • I didn't know enough words to parse that title on my first 5 read-throughs... but I think I've got it now. And that's nice!

  • The New York financier?

  • Right!? It'd be like if you were eating a banana and you just threw the peel away. It's against nature!

  • FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!
