There are bots. Some are self-identified and some even put ‘bot’ in the username. There are bots that just repost from Reddit, bots that post only articles from a specific site/publication—like the BBC bot.

There’s not as much use for Reddit-like karma farming bots because karma isn’t really a thing on Lemmy/piefed/etc. But, there are definitely bots that that post agenda-pushing content or SPAM pushing content.

I assume any account with only posts or extremely high post to comment ratio is a bot. I wish they would force participation requirements for posting.

You also have troll accounts and weird accounts that will make one controversial post and then ghost.

If you hit a line you’ll be found out. Call the hotline dig the hole then install something like a clothes drying rack after depositing the body.

Make sure to put sod around it or a concrete pad otherwise it will be obvious that the hole was too big for the pole.

Use a seesaw-style lever and fulcrum to give free rides into space. I want a turn, too.

The best way to learn this is by listening to music.

I wonder if Korean law requires such specificity for other situations.

It’s kind of like saying when a person dies of cardiac arrest in the ER no one can blame the car crash that put them there. Maybe they would have suffered cardiac arrest when they got home. 🤷

Don’t worry about it too much. I don’t judge anyone banned from that community harshly. The mod is… overzealous to say the least.

I consider myself progressive and I’ve checked out the modlog there. It’s a bit much.

EDIT: Although, your comment history paints you as a troll so expect more bans. I won’t feel sorry for you.

Oh, are we doing thin clients, again?

I think once a generation thin clients come up as a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

This is an AI generated SPAM account.

There was a Wazal1 account that got banned for this crap. He’s avoiding the ban with this account.

Report it.

There are more exceptions than just games. I know someone who made a good career writing statistical forecasting software. It was just himself and he had some large corporations as clients.

There a niches of expertise for which most businesses don’t need dedicated employees or even software licenses. But, you’re not going to write the software with AI because it takes domain experience and expertise that AI can’t emulate.

Dude, just stop jerking off to kids whether they’re cartoons or not.

Mouse users? As opposed to what? Stylus users? Touch?

Any software that can be used with a mouse can be used with stylus or touch. Any raster art program made for a personal computer will have mouse support.

It’s not clear what you’re even asking.

The worst part is that alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo and Ecosia seem to return those sites more than Google.

Google has become shit, no doubt. But, it’s still better than the alternatives. I think we need something like Yahoo!, again, but curated Wikipedia style.

For iPhones, Find My only works powered off by Bluetooth connections to other devices. Unless someone is scanning and tracking Bluetooth radios, they can’t track you.

The vulnerability in the article is about apps that send location data back to a third party who makes it available to law enforcement.

Mainly, this is a problem for people who give any random app access to location data.

But, people have to plan a trip to the US much more than 2 months in advance. If the brownshirts don’t scare them, they still have to consider that they might get refused entry after paying for the flight, ticket car rental (they’ll need one) and hotel.

HBO execs are letting out a sigh of relief.

“Let’s take the most recognizable software package name and make it something totally divorced from what the software is supposed to be for.”

There are probably people for whom Microsoft Office is the only desktop software that they use. There are probably many people in procurement that are going to scratch their heads and think twice about signing off on something that sounds like a flight simulator.

This is an opportunity for alternate office suites.

I found this in a bookstore end-cap near the fantasy/sci-fi section. Thought it was going to be a novel when I picked it up. Can’t remember if I read the jacket before I left with it.

Destroyed my faith in religion. I highly recommend.

Could you not create a separate partition on the internal drive for Windows 11 and boot from that? That’s how I would do it for MacOS or Linux installs.

Toyota’s Bold Bet: Why It’s Doubling Down on Hydrogen as Rivals Go All-Electric

Toyota’s multi-pathway approach keeps hydrogen fuel cells at the heart of its long-term plan, betting the technology will replace diesel and complement EVs in the next decade.

Hydrogen is still their focus. EV tech has it’s limitations and hydrogen can or a combination of hydrogen and EV tech could be a stronger strategy, long term.

My impression is that much of the world is more positive on hydrogen than the USA. Toyota seems to be slow-walking EVs in anticipation of hydrogen breakthroughs. Mist of what you say about fuel stations could have been said about charging infrastructure not that long ago.
