You can run DOOM on E.Coli bacteria, so I'm sure you can run it on anything.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Any front engine rear drive car going in reverse, lol.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

This is similar to how fiends keep parts of the original human's personality. They literally share braincells.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Denji being Denji, Asa being Asa, and then when he realised he won't be getting sex today, he breaks down in a moment of self awareness and self loathing, and Yoru being Yoru. Perfect writing.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Nobody told her about the Streisand effect...

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I called it, Katana Man is getting development... Didn't expect it to go there, but it makes sense considering his upbringing. I expect him to fully let go of his hatred and become friends with Denji properly. He will probably help him out when Fami reveals her game and prevent her from eating Denji or something...

What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

I've seen a lot of people on here be teased for difficulty expressing themselves. Either people complain "you're using big person words to describe mundane things" when they're aiming for precision or "woah, we don't need that damn wall of text" when they're aiming for clarity. It's like people just want to complain.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

There is always the Wikipedia style link to the definition whenever such word arrives. This is what browser tabs are for.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it's just the best way to work.

PL setups are the best.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Also Joker makeup.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I had to go back to check...

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I remember having a conversation with a former friend a while ago, and he, as a guy who worked for a certain company that makes most of its revenue from delivering ads, spoke about requiring use of front facing camera and using eye tracking technology to ensure you're actually watching the ads and not going somewhere else while the ads play. If you aren't looking at the ad, it will play another ad afterwards.

He spoke about it as something he is looking forward to, since it would increase revenue. Pretty sure he was pitching this idea to his boss hoping to get a promotion.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

If that ever happens, I would start bringing duct tape to flights, tape a magazine to cover the screen.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

That was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I'm starting to think Katana Man will be getting significant character development and will end up helping Denji at the end.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I absolutely despise it when people say "should have known better" when companies mess up. Not everyone is going to spend weeks researching obscure information before buying a phone.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Wait, not every phone has compass hardware?

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I would have never even thought of checking that. That's very surprising.

TIL that Gwyneth Paltrow is not just a harmless grifter ( arstechnica.com )

I never went as far as to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but after her Hot Ones appearance I created a post (which I will link in the comments) where I suggested that she's done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny. That's before I learned about her promotion of these...

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I wasn't aware of her existence or that of the vampire facials, but this is some Carmilla stuff. Next they will tell you they need virgin blood.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Ads are gross and are a violation of lemmy.ml rules.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

If these are signs of being old, I was born old.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

If I had that quirk I could have defeated Shigaraki and All For One in a single punch.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Katana man and Yoru kicking Deji's balls is the funniest thing I have seen in a while.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Personally, I would never give Reddit a single penny. Their garbage CEO does plenty to get people to leave and I am sure it will keep like that.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

They did win because of how the electoral college works. Both Trump and Bush lost the popular vote and won the election because the system is designed in a stupid way.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Your phone's email app is a client, but I digress... I hate using the browser to access emails. I use many different email accounts with multiple email providers to compartmentalize my emails and avoid spam. I used Thunderbird for years before switching to Geary and now back to Thunderbird.

How to make it so frequently used sites don't constantly require 2FA?

I know two factor authentication is considered more secure than just passwords, but here’s the deal: One of my family members uses Linux Mint on their laptop (at my recommendation and yes, they are aware that it’s not a Mac), and while they’ve mostly adapted to the different workflows (coming from a macbook), one of their...

MrFunnyMoustache ,

My first time trying to get my mother to switch from Windows to a Linux based OS wasn't successful because there was too much friction and inconvenience for her, and she wasn't willing to even entertain the idea of Linux for years after that. My second attempt was successful because Linux is much more user friendly than it used to be 13 years ago, and I changed my approach to make it as frictionless as possible.

Firefox just set to block 3rd party cookies + some basic extensions like adblocking and some easy privacy stuff is a good way to go about it, because it's better than what she used previously and it doesn't become inconvenient to her. She doesn't know what an operating system is, or what cookies are... She just uses the computer to browse the web, emails, and light office work. She even says she prefers the current setup (though that's because her old computer was chugging with Windows and runs smoothly now with a less bloated OS)

No need for noscript, deleting cookies, fingerprinting, or user agent stuff... Only introduce these to them if they express interest in privacy and are interested in learning more. If you try to thrust it upon them too suddenly they will just think "Linux isn't a good user experience and is only good for tech enthusiasts and programmers".

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I'm so glad we have GN bringing these stories to light.

MrFunnyMoustache OP ,

she might be a little more unreasonable.

Now I'm imagining Blood Devil Power saying stuff like "I'll be the Shogun. Everyone bow to me and I will spare your life." Or something. And I definitely agree, Denji will hold back and maybe get seriously injured because of it (it's CSM, so he will always get seriously injured). Maybe she will attack after seeing Nayuta because of Power's instinctive hatred for Makima or something. No idea if Nayuta is alive for this too happen though.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

This shouldn't surprise anyone. The guy loves coal, oil, and gas, he hates anything renewable with almost the same passion as he hates immigrants. He will literally defund the EPA because in his mind the environment is fake news and because it will make him popular amongst rich business owners who get even richer from deregulation.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

So Trump is basically like an AI that has no will of his own and is just a predictive algorithm that is trained on his fan base? That makes a surprising amount of sense when listening to his speeches, they make as much sense as a tripping LLM that was mostly trained on other AI generated text.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

At this point I'd be surprised if there was a single oil billionaire who hasn't donated millions to his campaigns.

Can you live without YouTube ?

Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?

MrFunnyMoustache ,

At least 60% of my internet time is YouTube. I rely on it for entertainment, news, education, discovering music, technical help, ETC...

Could I live a meaningful life without it? Probably, people have been living meaningful lives before the invention of the computer in general... But I wouldn't give it up because there is an immense amount of incredible content there that genuinely makes my life better.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I think it depends on how good your sense of smell is. Mine is really bad, so if I had my eyes covered and was wearing noise cancelling headphones, I wouldn't be able to tell if there are people in my area unless they haven't showered in a while... Being able to distinguish between people? I can't even differentiate between the smells of popcorn and peanut butter.

On the other hand, I know someone who was able to smell a "coppery" smell on someone which no one else notice. Eventually she convinced him to see a doctor and they found a rare condition that I can't remember which.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I am a staunch opposer to the death penalty, and believe no crime, no matter how severe warrants an execution, but I wouldn't lift a finger to stop the execution of Nestlé executives because they aren't worth a single calorie spent on their defence.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I'm also confused, what's the point of a check mark if you hide it? Just paying Twitter for fun?

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Oh, I wasn't aware of these. Makes a lot of sense people want more eyeballs on their tweets without people knowing they pay for them.

MrFunnyMoustache , (edited )

Noticed that. It used to be easy to bypass, because old.reddit.com allowed me to go there with a VPN, but they recently patched it. I found that changing the user agent to make it look like you're on Chrome and Windows, alongside with US/Canada VPNs tend to get around this, but it isn't very reliable.

Stealth used to work for a while, but not anymore either.

They are doing it to stop scrappers scrapers and punishing people who use a VPN is just a bonus to them.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Never heard of it, thanks for the tip.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Sorry for the typo, I meant scraper. A web scraper is a tool to collect data from websites.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Interesting. I'll try with a few different VPN points.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

Biological weapons don't count unless the flush mechanism fails.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I can go to an online artist and commission a piece of art, but it doesn't make me the creator, and similarly, if I prompt an AI to generate the image, it doesn't make me the creator of the image.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

You misunderstood me, of course digital art is art when created by an artist, but if I pay an artist to make something I want, it doesn't make me the creator.

If I prompt an AI, it doesn't make me the creator either.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I do consider photographers as artist, because there is an intentional creative process and the creation of the image; there's a great deal of skill and artfulness to photography. When a photographer sees something they want to photograph, they decide the position, the blur, the composition, the focus... All of that is intentionally done to direct the attention of the viewer to the subject(s) the artists wants, perhaps in a specific order. It requires an artistic process to create art.

What I don't consider as art is when a security camera catches footage, this isn't art, it's an image that was created without a creative intent behind its creator, just like AI generated images have no artistic intent behind them.

Prompting an AI to generate an image doesn't make someone an artist just like if I were to hire an artist to draw something for me doesn't make me an artist. Of course, if I hired an artist to draw something, the result is still art as it was created with an artistic process and intent, whereas AI lacks that therefore there is no art.

In the future, should a fully sentient and conscious AI exist, I would be able to acknowledge them as artists if they follow the same artistic intent when creating an image.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

I'm open to the idea that should a sentient AI be made in the future, with complex emotions and desires, then that AI could create art. As it is right now, it is completely artless.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

USSR collapsed and looks at Russia now. Just because they are communists now doesn't mean they won't become fascist in the future.

MrFunnyMoustache ,

What? I was talking about Vietnam, just because they are communist now doesn't mean they will stay communist. I didn't mean that Russia is communist now, perhaps I wasn't clear in phrasing.
