  • But did you like it eventually?

    I'll come forward and admit I fucking love mushrooms, and some facts in this book blew my mind. It's one of my favorite, non-fiction books.

  • I opened the link and immediately suspected it must be the son of Rupert Sheldrake, brother to Merlin Sheldrake, the mycologist. It was.

    Merlin's book is rather amazing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entangled_Life

    Overall, interesting family.

  • I swear if Coca-Cola gives us more AI Slop commercials, I’m switching to Pepsi or Dr Pepper

  • What is your cloud backup solution?

    Jump

  • I see a lot of people using restic here. However, restic has no support for object locking. Depending on the backup source, an attack on the storage location itself is probable (e. g. via ransomware).

    I think rustic is currently discussing implementing support for object locking, and Kopia has it already.

    None of the solutions have had an official audit yet, and at least Kopia defaults to AES-GCM, where I'd really love for an auditor to tell me there are no issues with nonce reuse, but switching to ChaChaPoly-1305 is an option.

    If that matters depends a lot on the individual, just something to keep in mind.

  • Oh no, the homeless?! 😱 Did they staggered while walking and shouted cccooooooiiiiiins, at least in your head?

    Good thing you were looking out for that child.

  • Nearly 3M Teslas recalled in China over hidden door handles

    Jump

  • Honestly, if you got rid of it due to Elmo being a scumbag and a fascist, props to you. We should absolutely talk about that. I would have also accepted getting rid of it due to Teslas generally being garbage, but that would get an extra nod.

  • naughty girl

    Jump

  • Can we talk about what's going on with that bedroom?

  • Jucika is having a ball

    Jump

  • OP is referring to Jucika having a ball, as in, a good time, but she could also be seeing as attending a ball.

    They're now asking if a similar construct exists in Hungarian, i. e. if the pun would work there, too and if it could be implied the cartoon was going for that pun with its original title.

  • ‘New models will mark AI-generated content from day one’: Claude will now hide an invisible watermark inside ordinary words

    Jump

  • You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the watermarking works. There is no hidden metadata, but most likely, the statistical properties of the generated text are being changed.

    If you met someone on Halloween with a face mask, and they'd always use the word cromulent in every sentence, you'd probably assume it's your buddy Mark, who is about the only guy in your circle of friends who does that.

    The model will produce a text where individual words at certain positions, or various n-grams encode a kind of fingerprint that will be an indicator for the text being processed by Claude.

    Like, when people have, like, a specific accent or talk in a certain way, you can totally, like, figure out where they're from, for sure.

  • LinkedIn CringeBot 3000

    Jump

  • wow, that one is actually good. out there, but on the cusp of being believable (as far as the bullshit actual people used to post on linkedin a few years ago is concerned)

  • Why nano gets used

    Jump

  • Sure, but none of that is special in any way. That's just what SSH does already. If you like that to happen in your editor GUI, by all means, you do you.

    What I'm saying is not a single of those features is an accomplishment of vscode and you can do that with every editor you like, or even without any. I didn't want people to believe they'd need to switch to vscode to achieve any of that. That was my angle.

    I can't and I'm not going to comment on the integration or the workflow, if you're the audience for those kinda things, it's probably great, give vscode a try. It's probably obvious that I am not but hey, different strokes and all.

  • Why nano gets used

    Jump

  • Every editor "supports" SSH, you can mount files on a remote SSH server via SSHFS.

  • What are these "bowls" for

  • Do you think I should get a PC or a PS5 for my birthday?

    Should LinuxSucks be removed from Lemmy World?

  • Re 1: So what? There is plenty of individuals who run their own "community". Some use it as link aggregator, some seem to collect media they like, one person maintains a gigantic collection of nudes from people they find attractive. Can anyonemeaningfully interact with those? Should they be banned as well?

    Re 2: So what? No community has any obligation to interact with you or value your content. If someone writes me a 56 page love letter and upon opening it, I realize within the first few lines that it's my toxic ex who wrote it, that thing still goes straight to the trash. That's my prerogative.

    Re 6: How did you reach that conclusion? I can't say I do.

    If there are posts violating instance rules etc., report them.

    I'm using Arch btw.

  • The open-source, DRM-free Open Printer shows off a working prototype

    Jump

  • Get a cheap laser printer. The toner won't dry out, and you can get a very reliable printer for cheap. The Xpress series from Samsung was cheap and very reliable. Unfortunately, Samsung does not manufacture printers any more and their printer business was bought by HP. I have no idea how new HP models compare to the old ones.

    I'd probably look at Brother, a monochrome laser printer can be had for $120, and Brother generally has a good reputation. If you want to print in color, that'll be more expensive of course. Honestly, I haven't had a color printer in 11 years and I don't miss it, but YMMV.

  • Working prototype of open-source printer appears in first video — DRM-free 'Open Printer' inkjet still has no announced price, ship date, or print speed, nine months after it first appeared

    Jump

  • Well, apparently, the print head is pretty complicated to make, so this project uses refillable cartridges with an integrated head.

    They can't be refilled indefinitely, and if HP (manufacturer the project picked) changes the product, deprecates it and eventually stops selling it, the printer will no longer print.

    Maybe it could support several cartridge types, but honestly, I don't understand the target audience. You'll still be bound to the regular printer ecosystem, and I'm not sure there is so much interesting stuff to modify / hack in the remaining system, which is mostly transport (of paper and the head). These parts also rarely failed for me in printers in the past, so I personally also don't get the repair argument.

    It's still a good effort, if something comes out of it. If anyone is excited about this, I'd love to hear what you're looking forward to in this printer.
