A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.

  • I have only heard some old-fashioned sailors and marketing people call it Dacron, everybody else has settled on polyester

  • At least the man who provides the documentation is huge.

  • Huh, what exactly are you using? I tried to run home assistant's, well, assistant, and qwen 2.5 3B just didn't properly call any tools. And bigger models become pretty slow on my ryzen 2400 "thinclient" home server. I've tried it via Ollama, even did some dirty hacks to use the iGPU, but that's about the size that I can run without waiting a minute for a simple prompt.

  • I tend to be dumb as a brick, and even when I'm not, I'd rather have a polite "no thanks" than wondering what if.

  • Change the names and dates, or just tell a story "you heard from a friend". Obviously don't dox anyone, including yourself.

  • I bought a cheap 8" tablet on eBay many years ago, and really liked using it for college. Then when my regular laptop broke and I had some money, I went for one of those 13" Yoga thinkpads, thinking it would replace both the tablet and the aging laptop.

    In the 7 or so years since I bought it, I can count the number of years that I used it on two hands. I've used the shitty old 2013 dell tablet more than the touch screen / pen input on the laptop. It mostly lives in a docking station on my desk, or gets used as a regular laptop. It's just too big to be used as a tablet, period. Cool concept, wasn't worth the extra money for me.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What are your best dating stories?

  • Also, you have to wonder what else they'll lie about for sex. Good way to catch something more serious, or become a parent. Not worth the risk, regardless of gender. Better rub one out and move on than ruin your life.

  • Probably someone who is into kinky stuff, but very much in the closet. I know because I kind of was the same. I hope for her and her future lovers that she realises and reads the right stuff and is able to live out her fantasy in a healthy way with someone who is into that, too.

  • The thing is, all of it, yes, all of it was and still is avoidable. We have the tools to unfuck the climate change, to get population levels under control, to distribute enough to those who need it.

    We choose not to. Fucking hell.

  • The west has been living of a shrinking technological advantage to China, and at the same time, profited of producing things and selling things to China. At the simplest core, the crisis of, say, European car brands is to a large part driven by the almost comically simple fact that Chinese companies figured out how to build decent cars and Chinese citizens choose (understandably) Chinese cars over Western ones. Coupled with absolutely horrible dogshit economic policies here, as much as I hate "Imperialism, but Red", the fact that someone like Xi wants to run the show for more than 5 years might be our downfall. We plan to next quarter, they plan to the next quarter century.

  • But, consider this: there was a time from before two decades ago. There are rumours that there are even people who are older than 20. Scary, I know.

  • Make it hotter, duh

  • Loneliness is difficult to deal with, especially if you used to be married and are at an age where new people don't come easy any more.

    One of the "death bed confessions" of my granddad was that he regretted never re-marrying.

  • Sorry, you misunderstand me, I think: I meant I am posting here, exactly because nobody here knows me well enough to really care about my feelings. So, if what I say is stupid, a random anonymous stranger is more likely to tell me than a friend. Bit of a meta question thing, I know.

    For the actual question, it's kind of the same: an irl friend is at least a bit biased towards not trying to hurt my feelings. I know I do at least, if a friend asked me how he came across, I'd be inclined to be at least a bit diplomatic. Which is why I am looking for other ideas.

  • You disagree with that?

    Mostly yes. Guns are a thing now. Female cops are around 1/4 here. I fucking hate how female soldiers are not conscripted, you enjoy the freedoms in your country, you should have to protect it if shit goes south.

    Now, if we talk about wrestling a drunk guy into handcuffs, that is one of the few things where peak physical strength is required. But I'd argue it is less about protecting the cop or the public, but rather the drunk guy from itself, since otherwise we could just shoot a drunk trouble maker.

  • I guess I have to. On the other hand, I heard Finnish people don't like human contact anyway, so... meh

  • You completely missed my point, I'm sorry. Yes, I feel good being a manly man. Yes, if that is what you are and want to be, you deserve to feel good as well.

    I have worked with some breaks since high school, including a handful ofnodd summer jobs in construction, and I have not had a single job that a reasonably fit woman could not do as well.

    Plus, nowadays there are plenty of women in trades and industry. Sadly, mostly in "womanly" stuff like gardening/landscaping, which again to me shows that this is not a physical issue, but a societal / psychological one.

    Besides, why should I be proud of a random construction worker breaking his back 100 years ago? That's like saying I am proud of being born in the same city as some famous poet. Not my achievement, not even my era. Yeah, Albert Einstein once visited the college I went to, do I get to be proud?

    And physical strength has not really been the dominant factor for serious protection in a long time, at least not in the military. A drone does nor care who steers it, and neither does a gun care who shoots it.

    As I said, it is not a fucking championship. Everyone deserves happiness, "I am proud because I am born male/female/white/black/straight/gay/..." just pisses me off. Do something good with your life, and be proud of that, for fucks sake.

  • Chess without horses is just lacking something

  • KICKboxing. Obviously.
