  • Huh? You distrust that the researchers distrust?

  • Fox Corporation to Acquire Roku for $22B

    Jump

  • That's a shame, I didn't know they were in a death spiral. As far as I know they provide the best "plug into HDMI, get streaming video" product out there and it's not even close.

  • I definitely agree with that, I'm just saying I also saw no indication that the people running the project would disagree.

  • The person I was replying to said the researchers misunderstood how the models work, but there's nothing in the report to indicate that is the case.

  • The tanks in Cushing, Oklahoma, are hitting bottom. The oil market is about to hit a tipping point

    Jump

  • It's also beside the point. They said oil prices "barely changed" but whatever their definition of "barely" is, they changed enough to bankrupt a big company.

  • Browsing Reddit

    Jump

  • Also unless you deleted your account a long time ago everything you wrote has been available publicly and for free on the internet for many years.

  • This is diabolical and I love it

  • Honestly wondering if you don't want deletions why not 4chan? They basically only remove illegal content.

  • Not sure where you live but it shut down an entire low-cost budget airline for low-income people in the USA

  • Browsing Reddit

    Jump

  • Protip: before nuking your account get one of those apps that replaces all the text with jibberish, that way not only are you making reddit less attractive to new people but less useful to bots and reddit itself.

  • Think I am getting carried away with self hosting (stock image library)

    Jump

  • Careful, once it's automated you won't be able to work on it anymore!

  • That's great, Etsy has allowed their marketplace to become overrun with slop, it's nice to see the handmade stuff still around and getting love.

    Jump

  • Oh we're definitely getting solar. Even with all the red tape around its installation and tax money spent oil subsidies, it's getting to be so cheap that few of the roadblocks matter. There is very little even the oligarchs can do at this point to stop it's adoption.

  • I mean, if you believe in capitalism as many of our dear leaders do, you wouldn't feel a need to "ask people" about limiting usage. As a product becomes more expensive, eventually people will naturally limit usage and purchase another cheaper product.

    Not saying that's correct or how it works but might explain the behavior.

  • Cheat Engine now has a Linux version released

    Jump

  • This is awesome I was just looking for something like this for Linux. PINCE did the job and came close but the community support around Cheat Engine is where is shines.

  • Is there room for Windows selfhosters?

    Jump

  • Posts about self hosting are welcome, posts to strangers seeking external validation...? Maybe save for therapy.

    A good thread to mention Lemmy in - a Daily Show segment about social media companies, most of the commenters don't seem to realize that nonprofit social media exists!
