The least believable part of this image is that all those little dogs sit down and shut up long enough to take this picture (I am ignoring the usual body horror like the blended body parts, as well as the fire hazard that’s meant to be an oven in the back because people do dumber shit than that all the time). In real life at least half of them would be blurry balls of accelerating fur.

You want privacy and security but you want it over plain IMAP/SMTP, then you’ll have to manually encrypt and decrypt every message. It’s a good thing they don’t offer IMAP/SMTP support as those protocols are old and insecure by nature - SSL and TLS are bandaids, they can only do so much.

There are compromises to keeping yourself safe online, one of which is to convenience, and the other is to your wallet - yes, privacy costs. If you don’t want to make those compromises, just open up and let Google in and get comfortable watching your data get siphoned away.

Hard agree. I vividly remember having such a blast tossing enemies around with the Force, but if I think just a little harder I remember the jank and clunk of everything around those moments. It was fun for the time, but with the sheer explosion of truly outstanding games in recent years it wouldn’t stand a chance of catching any attention if it was released today.

If you’re laughing, it just wasn’t made for you

It’s not pirating, it’s preserving!

Proton have just announced they’re moving to a nonprofit structure if that makes a difference to you; it sure does to me.

It’s known as “collateral damage” or more frequently “acceptable casualties”.

Like firing clay in a kiln, and for the same reason. “Canine” is actually a bastardisation of the 14th century term “Claynine”, because their bones were believed to be made of clay. Of course we now know this is not true - dog bones are made of a substance that merely resembles clay in many ways, but has a unique molecular structure making it semi-permeable to the red blood cells produced by the marrow. This clay-like substance can indeed be hardened by exposure to extreme heat, which is why it is not recommended to leave your dog in a hot car unless you want an invulnerable dog.

Goddamn, seeing it all together like this doesn’t paint Mostaque in a flattering light at all. I’m glad that we got open Stable Diffusion models out of his venture but it sounds like it was nothing more than a lucky fluke of mismanagement.

They were stealing credentials to sell on the dark web; claiming it was a protest is a thinly-veiled excuse to get the kneejerk “fuck AI” crowd on their side.

Awesome! I found https://stormthecastle.com/mead via the sidebar of the old meadmaking subreddit and still go back to reference the tutorials and recipes occasionally. Seems like the only community on Lemmy is https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing, but it’s a big one.

This was one of my favourite recipes posted on the old orange site (luckily it was crossposted to imgur): https://imgur.com/gallery/neon-knights-indigo-mead-D0IAs

I really enjoyed learning to homebrew, and my family and friends really enjoyed drinking the mead I’ve made. You can homebrew all sorts of stuff, too - beer and wine of course, but also kombucha and ginger ale. I’m looking at professional kit for my next batch which is going to be a few hundred dollars at least of steel, but my first fermentation tubs were something like $35.

My only up-front recommendation would be to get a conical fermenter as it minimises loss when racking/bottling.

Also, do you really want to know natural flavour could be smashed beatle anus?

Poor Ringo…

Edit: Aww, you changed it all stealthy like :(

I didn’t want “debate points”, I wanted to know what you would call sensory inputs if not “raw data”. Completely independent of anything else, which I tried to make clear in my post, the clarity which you completely ignored to accuse me of making a stupid argument. I made very specific effort to distance myself from the argument being made by the other poster, because I wanted to ask the one question and the one question alone, so to be lumped in with it anyway is more than galling.

Example: you lot just want to lash out at internet strangers for asking an honest question because it’s in the wrong context as far as you’re concerned. Is that a fair characterisation of your intent? No? Same. So you can take your accusations of intellectual dishonesty and this block, and fuck off.

Attacking me as stupid straight out the gate was the insult, when all i said was “our brains process raw data as inputs”. Falsify that if you want to argue. Now I’m very sorry you’re not capable of understanding the point, but it isn’t my problem. You can fuck off too, because I’m not here to instruct you in the English Comprehension equivalent of doing up your Velcro shoes, you genetic throwback.

No, Russia is extremely dangerous and we should arm Ukraine to the teeth to give them the best possible chance of repelling the invasion. The US needs to ensure this war ends Russian military capability for the foreseeable future, in the interest of global security.

No, I’m not arguing anything other than that our brains receive raw data as inputs because they do. Now since we’re jumping to insults immediately, you can kindly fuck off. Toodle-doo!
