She was cute af in an computer science class and I knew if I waited to decide if I liked her, someone else would grab her first

She thought I was weird and gay but I pulled it off

5 years later we’re still together

The harder I tried to see the author’s POV, the more IQ points I lost. The fediverse is having some drama and hiccups, and so the author threw up their hands and said it should die?

Thanks @nutomic@lemmy.ml!

Good, launder all the proprietary BS into public domain

If video games have taught me anything, once both sides run out of military supplies, whoever is producing military supplies quicker will win

Without KDE I’d probably have never realized how awesome Linux is

Absolutely hilarious

These tests, combined with our visual analysis of the data yielded the result that repositories containing swearwords exhibit a statistically significant higher average code-quality (5.87) compared to our general population (5.41).

The scores here (5.87 and 5.41) are from 0-10 based on SoftWipe. For a general idea on what that feels like when you look at the code, referring to this article in Nature (a highly reputable journal outlet):

sumo has a rate of 7.7 bugs per 1000 LoC (SoftWipe score: 3.7), llvm-openmp has a rate of 4.0 bugs per 1000 LoC (SoftWipe score: 5.2), and llvm-pstl has a rate of 0.8 bugs per 1000 LoC (SoftWipe score: 7.4)

Naively assuming a linear correlation (y = -0.6x +8, where x is the number of bugs in 1000 lines of code and y is the SoftWipe score), we can extrapolate that:

Therefore code with swearwords has about 1 less bug per 1,000 lines of code than code without it.

although we have a statistically significant difference between the groups, it could be caused by other underlying factors […] This means that swearing will not automatically improve the quality of your code

Absolutely hilarious.

This lawsuit is not about protecting artists like the other ones, it’s instead that SD used 12 million Getty images in their training model without paying Getty. It’s a much stronger case with much smaller repercussions for AI.

Honestly, a red herring article.

Tl;dr new EU law adds requirement to software distributors (ie. package managers) to verify your age if the app allows users to contact eachother

As someone who uses Github copilot and Stable Diffusion to do my job:

LOL

Please stop posting this garbage

If the news makes zero attempt to cite where facts in the title (“majority of the German population”) then yea, uh, that’s fake news.

Edit: Looks like the Mexican president also said it was the majority

the Mexican President said

provides no further citations

everyone downvotes Michkineflo for correctly calling this fake news

Tl;dr

“We are fighting a war against Russia and not against each other,” Baerbock said, according to the A News TV network.

First they’re gonna have to define objectives they can stick with

What sort of communist workplace allows recursive code in production?

• Cites a pro-Ukrainian source
• Azov Regiment members can’t help but have Nazi symbols on them

Makes it hard to refute, even if you’re pro-Ukraine.

My bad, it was Muon. No idea why I wrote Gecko

Did you confirm if the recipient got it? I shared a Lemmy post link via Linkedin DMs once and the message was shadow un-received (I could see it as sent but the other person never got it, only my before and after messages)

I’ve been using Brave since it was based on Gecko Muon, and all it’s worth is ad-blocking by default. If you know how to install uBlock Origin, Brave won’t offer you any advantages.

Linkedin blocks .ml website domains too. Rip any site that uses that I guess

I’ve been up and down all the common ones from AUR to Pacstall to Homebrew, and honestly Flatpak and AUR stand head and shoulders above the rest. There might be some more obscure ones out there but I’d doubt their catalog at this point if I haven’t heard of them

They forked from Lemmy early on and were the most popular site running the Lemmy codebase. After some time the developers realized maintaining their codebase independent of Lemmy was duplicated effort (and effort they didn’t have), so they started work to get back on the main line.

Too real. The unimaginable weight that comes with running a successful piece of work is the reason I’ve stepped down from every. successful. project I’ve made.

A successful trait I’ve seen is the maintainer of the project is not someone who touches the code anymore. At a glance you’d think “What do they do?”, but the answer is a lot

Love to see it. Mastodon is a trojan horse that companies are joining to keep up with technology, but it’s taking the power out from underneath them. See what happened to Raspberry Pi after they moved to Mastodon and still tried to keep their community on a string :)

If there’s one thing everyone on Lemmy.ml seems to agree on, it’s this

I find it extremely difficult to sympathize with companies and governments that suffer cyberattacks. Stop writing bad, proprietary software with tax payers’ money, and half your problems will soon be solved.

Huge portions of the homeless (or even poor-looking people) in South Korea have randomly disappeared multiple times now. It also happened in 1988 when SK hosted the Olympics for optics

Police officers often received promotions based on the number of vagrants they had arrested, and owners of facilities received a subsidy based on the number of people held. There were multiple reports of inmates raped or beaten, and sometimes beaten to death.

Usually I’m against whataboutism, but this article is targeting the US directly - and the US international interference is several fold worse than what China does. Look no further than literal government destabalization over the past 20 years for examples.

Yea but he does spaceships! What a coooool billionaire!

Love these tips. To add on:

Environment:

• Don’t use your bed for anything but sleeping
• Wash your bedsheets at least once every 5 days
• Do not have any RGB lights visible
• If the sun is up or there’s light outside, close your curtains

Sleep time:

• Make sure to shower before bed
• Make sure to wash your hair at least every 3 days
• Make sure to brush your teeth before bed
• Do not use your phone in bed. At all. Zero.
• From the moment you’ve reached consciousness until the time you get out of bed in the morning should be <15 seconds

Once you get these nailed down, start training yourself with white noise. Any time you feel like you can fall asleep quickly, turn the whitenoise on. It trains your body like magic. Build up whitenoise habits over 2-3 months into more and more uncomfortable nights until you fall asleep with whitenoise every day. Keep this up for 6+ months. At this point, you will be able to turn whitenoise on and fall asleep in 30-60 seconds guaranteed, regardless of how sick/uncomfortable you are, and you can throw out half the things mentioned above (although you’ll probably want to keep them)

Reading books is a requirement for not falling into the addiction of instant dopamine hits modern technology provides

The best people, every year

Given this comment was written by a bot, I think it’ll make information noise a significantly larger problem

Once I got into good habits (going back to school + going to the climbing gym), I quickly ran out of free time, but life is good. That said there’s still a few hours of downtime each week.

Working on 2009scape or packaging Linux apps on Flathub. Procrastinating usually just leads to a few games of chess though, since coding at my job 10+ hours a day only leaves time to work on community projects when work is slow.

It’s this arrogant attitude from US policy makers that leads more and more people to root for China

Vietnam almost bankrupted the US

Alright…

Ukraine has completely destroyed the western economies

Err…

Militarizing space seems… Expensive.

3 points in a row missing the mark?

Keep some of your stupidity for your children. Don’t hog it all yourself.

tl;dr Rasberry Pi hired an ex-cop who specialized in surveillance and major players in the fediverse got the Rasberry Pi mastodon instance defederated

I actually disagree with the other commenters and personally love this, it’s keeping companies accountable for their actions. Yeah, it’s legally fine to hire someone who specializes in anti-privacy (and then be stupidly arrogant about it), but now the power is in the people’s hands and they’re punishing you for it.

Looks like Western propaganda has been effective!

snap/ folder in the home directory is so disrespectful. I absolutely despise these apps that think they’re “too good” to follow proper xdg standard
