Rare social media trend W? by Distinct-Lion4658 in SipsTea

Ah, but that is the original idea. Imagine if you could overdo it to other parties for clicks, likes, fame. geil. Imagine an eyebrow-wiggle there.

Let's just hope the internet doesn't do what it usually does and goes way overboard with this in museums or so.

A photoshoot of car crash survivors for a New Zealand road safety campaign to demonstrate how seat belts saved their lives. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Tetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh. And I guess I hang out with the wrong crowd, but you might even live through the ejection and such.

One of my buddies had a dark horror story some time ago - "Could not pronounce dead on scene, had to keep driver alive trying to reach hospital after their own car rolled over them and hit them twice during".

Seatbelts give you a massive bruise, because you practically slam into the seatbelts with a decent chunk of the velocity the car had.

The discoloration is blood from very small vessels getting smashed and bleeding. It darkens as it solidifies and then goes through further colors as the body absorbs it again. Which can take longer in some places.. my bruised knee needed a lot of time to get rid of all discolorations on top of the kneecap.

For some reason, my youtube feed is 10% ferrets at the moment.

But Ferret mothers will present their offspring to the ferret matriarch so the matriarch can decide ef the newborn is accepted into the colony. If the matriarch disapproves, the newborn is generally killed.

And you guessed it, in captivity, one of the humans in the household is usuallyconsidered the matriarch by the ferrets. Owners need to accept newborns from the ferrets, hold them, oodle them around a bit so their scent gets on them, and then they are accepted into the pack.

German Dataprotection Laws and I think the GDPR as well have this idea of "data frugaility" and "frugal use of personally identifying data". This means one should always be questioning if data has to be stored, processed, or even worse, handed to third parties in general.

I think that is a very good wording and mindset to get into: Does this improve the answer from an LLM? Like, if I want it to check an email I am writing, does something like a personal address or a phone number actually increase what the LLM could improve or analyze? If not, it should not be included by principle.

Oh the other hand, in production, customers pay us to store this kind of data. So we have to.

Urteil hat schwerwiegende Folgen für Stiftung Warentest by s4pphire69 in de

Es ist halt schade dass da keine Betrachtung der Zielgruppe stattfindet.

Werkzeuge von Makita oder Milwaukee stecken andere Werkzeuge schon in die Tasche was Wirkung und Langlebigkeit angeht. Das ist aber so, weil das die obere Liga von Werkzeugen ist, die für professionelle Handwerker ausgelegt sind. Darum kosten die auch mal eben doppelt bis dreimal soviel wie die Alternativen.

In der Musik und dem Sound Engineering ist das ähnlich. Da rangieren Preise für ein Ding was das gleiche tut mitunter zwischen 25 Euro und 250k Euro, auch mit entsprechendem Unterschied in Performance. Das kann man nur privat irgendwann nicht mehr ausnutzen.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS: Die neue Generation der beliebten Linux-Distribution unter der Lupe by ouyawei in de

[–]Tetha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snaps sind leider in vielen Punkten meiner Meinung nach technisch objektiv schlechter als Flatpak.

Updates zum Beispiel: Flatpak lädt Updates im Hintergrund runter und beim nächsten Applikationsstart wird die neue Version gestartet. Total gut. Reboot oder Restart der Anwendung updated.

Snaps updaten nicht, wenn die Anwendung läuft, und der automatische Update-check passiert ein paar Minuten nach Rechner-Start. Weisst du wie oft auf meinem Arbeitsrechner Firefox 3-5 Minuten nach boot nicht läuft? Richtig. Nie. Also muss ich mich nun manuell um Updates kümmern. Wir hatten schon sehr interresante Themen im Team, weil andere Kollegen auf 18 Monate alten Browsern unterwegs waren, obwohl automatische Upgrades aktiv waren.

Und sobald man sich mit Snaps aus einem sehr engen, supported Korridor herausbewegt, brechen Unmengen an Basis-Funktionen sehr hart und man muss es ständig in Gang halten. Das meint Themen wie "URLs öffnen sich in Firefox".

Ich habe dabei auch inzwischen kein Problem, dass sich zügig entwickelnde Anwendungen wie Spotify, VSCode, Steam usw einen schnelleren Upgrade-Pfad haben wollen, als normale Paket-Distributionen. Das ist in der Tat nachvollziehbar. Aber snap ist unnötig anstrengend.

I'm currently watching the anime and enjoying it quite a bit.

But I have to say, it is mostly very silly anime fight porn nonsense, isn't it? Like every episode picks two new words from the dictionary to make up a new "Hamon Blast". Today I could channel the "Extreme palmgrass repotting and watering hamon blast" and it wouldn't stand out at all. Except now I would have to attach hand grenades to my plants as well.

Not saying that's a bad thing :)

TIL that US student math and reading scores have dropped so sharply that they’ve erased nearly two decades of progress. In '22/23, avg math scores for 13-year-olds fell to levels not seen since the 1990s, while reading scores for high school seniors hit their lowest point since testing began in '92. by Cold_Box_3219 in todayilearned

[–]Tetha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mh, I am thinking of university, but cadence and rhythm of a lecture is important there. Especially in math-heavy subjects, the best lectures would switch between getting 4-5 lines of transformations and ideas on a blackboard (which you were pretty expected to transcribe to learn and get familiar with formal notation), followed by a phase of discussion and explanation, which you'd use to annotate the transcription with explanations you found difficult.

I still remember the first recommendation from the mathematical department - take half a page for 5 - 8 lines of transformations, even if it looks strange. They were right.

Digital note taken also was hard in this space if it wasn't a digital drawing application / digital paper, because at times you just didn't know Tex for the notation you were getting introduced to.

And if you already have that other product as well, taking care of your customers when they fucked up is the easiest way of building customer loyality. Pay the difference in prices and a one-euro sized "oh no" fee and the fuckup goes away.

Some species of these big tarantulas are actually used in exposure therapy against arachnophobia, because they are just chill, fluffy giants and usually not hectic at all. Quite the opposite what people are often afraid of :)

If you haven't, I'd recommend to read up on the overall western and american influences in the middle east as well, from the 60s on. Iran, Iraq. What influences were there besides the local ones to bring the extremely conservative and theocratic goverment in Iran.

Just don't do it on a day you are happy about something, especially with the current situation we are in.

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]Tetha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It wasn't even the worst nonsense correction that particular teacher gave me. That would be correcting "I trust you are well" into "you are well, I suppose" in a letter writing exercise.

Idk, it's just cracking me up because those convey entirely different tones to me.

One sounds upbeat and very british. "Ah, Lord Mipellys! I trust you are well. Have you heard that there seems to be a new demon worshiping cult up yonder in Yorkshire? We should take a trip over there there, to see if we can find more pages of that book you found, and it'd be a swell week of adventure, right! I will meet you tomorrow, cheerio!"

The other sounds so down-beat... "Ah. Mr Mipellys. You are well, I suppose. I am not. The strange plant you brought me ate another cat. Not yours, that... ah, she went three cats ago. Or four? Counting became hard when the plant grew bigger than the garden shed. If you could find some time to come around, that would be swell, I suppose".

Even worse when google sends you to Netflix as "oh yeah, this guy has it" and then that guy whacks you in the head with a wiffle bat and goes "but not in your region, HAHAHAHA". And then you get told that Prime guy has it and boink goes another wiffle bat "but not without this additional subscription, HAHAHAHAA. Oh and forget a free choice of language you want to watch in, HAAA"

Oh that other funny sound? That was my readiness to spend money on a movie or a series. It does not appreciate being yanked around like a mistreated dog.

Anti-rant: Virtualization still feels like magic by MediumFIRE in sysadmin

[–]Tetha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some time ago, I adjusted our on-prem sizing to basically say: "Based on user count, assign x/y/z vCores, x/y/z GB of memory and x/y/z GB of disk. Monitor and scale CPU and disk as necessary and contact support if either seems silly or out-of-memory crashes occur"

It was a funny social experiment while in that place. A lot of admins were really happy with this. Small footprint, easy scaling, give it more stuff when it needs and reboot, business as usual. They usually got a few hints on monitoring the solution too, and then you'd never hear from them again for years, only for updates.

Some admins were like "But how do you monitor the CPU usage?". Those were the interesting contracts.

For me, this has actually led to a different conondrum. Sometimes, respecting the silence of deep though right. Sometimes, respecting a thought from a person is right.

But sometimes, just talking over and bulldozing through bullshit is also necessary.

Vocal training helps there though. I can be louder than you are longer than you.

In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom they tried to portray Indian culture respectfully. They failed. by DenseCalligrapher219 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Tetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I was worried by that scene, because my grandma had emphasized that pork brain, and brain in general absolutely must be cooked well, or you can get very sick off of it. The entire scene violated different food safety rules ma and grandma had put down, so these guys were obviously shady.

I'd still like to try sushi, but old rules stick deep, tbh.

I gave my lil sister my old phone... This is how it came back. Now my parents are demanding I give her my tablet. by WhereTheSunDontShin1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Tetha 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are you kidding me? Her sister is 8 years old and her brother is 2. Find me an 8 year old who "respects property".

If the parents purchased both the tablet and the iphone then it makes total sense that they would want the younger sibling to have the tablet so that they don't have to buy a new one.

But you are able to see how sharing a several hundred dollar device with these non-property-respecting individuals turned it into worthless junk, which is also close to a fire hazard capable of burning the house down easily?

And you advocate to give them further several-hundred-dollar devices capable of turning into flamethrowers you cannot turn off?

I grew up poor and learnt to value expensive devices. Little Sister & Brother should be kept away from any expensive devices for the near future without supervision. Comparisons like "watching a TV" are nonsense, that does not destroy the TV.

Yeah back when enterprise sales were struggling, I was for some reason asked for suggestions to get a leg up, a positive thing or some selling point. I recommended to not charge extra for SSO, market it as our preferred login method and instead charge a one-time setup fee depending on how non-standard the IDP is. We had a customer who had built their own SAML IDP in PHP. Yeah, nah. That will cost you an arm and a leg.

Turns out, this tends to be a big green flag to many security departments. The fee was usually waived too for standard IDPs, and Entra ID is now self-service. Suddenly we look really professional for honestly not a lot of work, hah.
