Linux@programming.dev•NVIDIA Drops Pascal Support On Linux, Causing Chaos On Arch Linux
6·2 months agoI’m running PopOS and Debian with Nvidia cards that should be affected by this, if I’m understanding this right. Ugh.
What a pain.
This didn’t have such a wholesome outcome for Cricket.

8·2 months agoNearly dropped my phone
Apparently this was 1992 in San Diego. According to the AI summary (I did navigate into each linked source, and they seem legit), this is the info:

It also mentioned two people out of frame on the right, so I figured out it was cropped. Here’s the full original photo:

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects
182·2 months agoI think it’s the harsh consonant sounds. I’m not a linguist and am sure there’s some term for it, but it seems like we identify words in English more from the distinct “framing” of the consonants and are more flexible about hearing variations in how the vowel sounds in between are pronounced.
For example, it’s the same reason that whispering (which largely takes out tone/pitch of vowel sounds) is super easy in English, but more difficult in some other languages.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why do some Men think all dish washing should be done by their GF or wife? Their help is really appreciated
42·2 months agoThis is probably one of the most loosely moderated communities on Lemmy, intentionally. I have no desire to be the morality or thought police, I just know that a lot of people don’t want to be surprised with porn or gore that they weren’t intending to see, so sometimes I ask people to use the NSFW tag.

5513·2 months agoGetting reports on this. Could you add a NSFW tag?
As a general rule of thumb, it would be best to tag anything that is (or appears to be) from porn, even if censored or off screen.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•about halfway through my cornposting dump. I hate doing this but also want to see it through to the end. mods please forgive me, if you even exist.
6·2 months agoDumping this much corn at once is basically food waste.
I did some googling and found this. Not sure if it’s the most common name for it or not, because I’ve never heard it:

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Rainbolt is on the case.
78·7 months agoHe’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).
People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.
Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.
I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.
Or
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

1·7 months agoIt’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.
When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.
I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

I may have to one of these days.













Could you NSFW tag this? Getting reports about rule 4 and 6 that are reasonable, but if it’s behind a tag, I think it’s fine.
