You may be deleting your comments in the hopes that it will pull some value away from Reddit. That’s not true, in fact, the opposite is more likely. They will still keep the deleted posts in their archives, and they will still be able to train their AI models on the content. The difference is that now they get an extra datapoint: these are the kind of comments of someone who left Reddit and deleted their account/comments. If you deleted them right after leaving, that means they can place your account deletion in time around the API changes, which will also contribute to their AI profile.

Do not confuse any of the content you see on Snapchat as news. It is an advertisement. It is a free service and the content is highly competitive, so it must be enticing to pull you in and it has one objective: to generate revenue.

If you want news, you need to find a new platform with different incentives. Lemmy removes the profit incentive, a news website keeps the profit incentive but add transparency.

If you want to keep up with friends and they’re on Snapchat, then by all means use Snapchat, but the idea that you can use it as a platform to keep up with news is delusional.

Literally all of them. Any big company is doing evil things, and I doubt there is an exception to that rule. Shop local, grocery shop at a co-op, eat local, prioritize products you know are actually made in your home country. Most importantly; just buy less. Repair the things you own, take care of them, borrow from friends. Never buy something “surprisingly cheap”.

The problem is that 20% failure rate has no validation and you are 100% liable for the failures of an AI you’re using as a customer support agent, which can end up costing you a ton and killing your reputation. The unfixable problem is that an AI solution takes a ton of effort to validate, way more than just double checking a human answer.

Honestly, fair, even if his name wasn’t fortran.

I have a coworker who thinks I’m this guy cuz it’s apparently absurd for us to add the 5 most popular dependencies on the planet to our environment and I’m sentencing us to the doom of dependency hell.

1337x is known to host some game cracks with malicious bitcoin miners built-in. If you don’t play cracked games, maybe it’s nbd, but it still stands that you shouldn’t trust them.

I think the problem was that half of the movie was a memorial to the victims of the Charles Manson murders and the other half of the movie was about Brad Pitt and DiCaprio, and the two stories had absolutely zero synergy.

Not really, but you can get a virus from movie.mkv.exe, which will probably show up in windows as “movie.mkv” but will actually run a program.

That being said, I’ve never actually seen this in the wild and it was mainly talked about in the mp3 era.

Inheritance makes complicated objects that would otherwise be impossible possible, but it only works if you know those objects really well. The problem is people write ridiculously complicated mystery objects in libraries and no one knows what’s going on anymore.

Oh shit I got confused…

In my defense, I’ve never heard of Newcastle until today.

Kind of an odd saying, I’m 100% sure Newcastle uses gas for their grill and not a single fast food place uses charcoal grills. If you brought coal to Newcastle, they would have no use for such a thing.

Yup

I have a coworker with 4 displays, this is for him.

“With modern science, we’re able to see what kind of memes they’re making in the year 2300.”

This will keep happening, no one knows how to make hardened IT infrastructure while also letting 65 year old Suzie in HR stay productive, so we’ll always have loopholes. The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to use fewer cloud services, but obviously that has limits, you can’t cancel your phone plan just because they may get hacked. You could use more encrypted services like Signal where a hacker wouldn’t get anything useful even if they broke in.

I would assume you were misinformed and promptly point you to my previous JavaScript projects to dissuade you of such illusions.

Always. We used steel before then because it wouldn’t react with the drink. We always knew aluminum cans would be cheaper, but couldn’t figure out how to protect the flavor and carbonation until Coors figured out how to line it with plastic. He shared the process for free with his competition because he knew a recycling program would scale really well.

I’m actually an expert in multiprocessing, which is just as good

I’m not convinced evil won in that one, mostly cuz the ending made no sense
