    Any tips for setting up a Mac? A 15+ years Linux user needs help

  • Since OP is using it for work, it sounds like that isn't an option.

    What if people pronounced the word TWO without the silent W?

    Jump

  • I wonder if perhaps an older dialect used to pronounce the W. Lots of words have changed spelling or pronunciation over the years, so I'm curious if that might be the case with "two", too.

  • For me, I just don't like having my genitals out when other people are around. It's not about whether they're looking or not, it just feels uncomfortable being exposed. Same reason I don't use public showers at gyms and such.

  • I sometimes get bouts of insomnia. Usually when it happens, I'm just awake for about 30 hours or so. That'll happen once or twice a month for me, and I'm pretty sure is just stress-related.

    The longest I've gone was 75 hours when I was in my early 20s, which was due to a really bad allergic reaction to cedar pollen which kept me from breathing while laying my head down in any position, so I couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard I tried. I was also running a pretty high fever while this happened. I probably drifted into microsleeps while sitting up a few times during that, but it was absolutely miserable.

    I started having really bizarre auditory hallucinations after about the 40-hour mark. I'd hear a crowd of people laughing from behind the walls. Not like a malicious laugh, but like there was a stand-up routine happening in the next room over. Nobody else was home, no TVs were on, and it was like 3am so I knew what I was hearing wasn't real, but convincing myself of that didn't make the laughter stop.

    I think I slept for about 13 hours straight after that.

  • Twenty is building an open source alternative to Salesforce | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I'll be honest, I doubt it will. At least, not in the mainstream.

    Alternatives to Salesforce already exist, and there's a reason why they're not more commonplace: most companies that use Salesforce or similar CRM platforms do so because somebody else maintains it (which is why Salesforce/Zendesk/etc are more expensive than a lot of their counterparts that don't offer such services). If they have a problem with the tools, they're paying for somebody at Salesforce to fix it for them. They don't have to pay somebody in their own company to manage the servers or learn the software, they just let Salesforce manage that.

    That level of support very likely wouldn't be the case with Twenty, and companies would be expected to pay somebody internally to learn and maintain their instance of the software. There's also liability issues; if your company's customer data gets breached somehow, it's Salesforce's responsibility and not yours, so you have to take on those sorts of burdens, as well. All of this starts to get very pricey (and very risky) if a company isn't already structured in a way to handle those sorts of tasks, which is why I doubt there'll be any big shift.

    I'd love to be wrong, though.

    Your kid marries a much older person for money; how do you manage?

  • How is "make sure she has a backup plan" anything at all like what you said?

  • OP said that money is the "main reason" for their relationship. It's not really that much of a leap at all.

  • It'll probably be a lot more than you were bargaining for, but it may be helpful to look into sugar daddy/baby and fin-dom (financial domination) relationships and how they work, as it sounds like this is likely the type of situation your daughter is in. I know that if I had kids, researching their kinks probably wouldn't be the most comfortable thing in the world, but it may help you get a better understanding of the dynamics of their relationship. Generally speaking, these are pretty healthy relationships as long as both parties are fully onboard and consenting, which it sounds like is the case here.

    Relationships like this are actually fairly common, but because of the stigmas surrounding them, people tend not to be super open about it. The fact that your daughter and son-in-law both seem to be on the same page and don't mind letting you know about their arrangement, should probably be taken as a good sign.

  • AI-powered vending machines that sell bullets could be hacked, says a cybersecurity expert

    Jump

  • I mean, every vending machine can be hacked. Paywalled, so I can't see if there's something unique about this vending machine, but if it's got any sort of onboard computer (which pretty much every vending machine does), then it can be accessed, and it can be bypassed.

  • AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably - Scientific Reports

    Jump

  • It actually makes quite a lot of sense if you think about it. Poems generally follow a structure of some sort; a certain amount of syllables per line, a certain rhyming scheme, alliterative patterns, etc. Most poems as we know them are actually rather formulaic by nature, so it seems only natural that a computer would be good at creating something according to a set of configured parameters.

  • Use 'Bridgy Fed' to connect Mastodon and Bluesky

    Jump

  • I guess my private server and open source appview conntected to the ATprotocol are a conspiracy theory then?

    No, but they exist at the whim of Bluesky. Having multiple endpoints on your network doesn't make it decentralized, if every endpoint is controlled by a single entity. This is an important distinction, because Bluesky can prevent a specific instance from interacting with the entire ATProto network, something which is not possible on ActivityPub, as there is no such authority who can completely shut down anybody else's instance.
