I let them know! They’re pretty tickled that it’s clearly given people a chuckle.
It’s a ridiculous app which makes it so funny, but it’s also kinda cool that it’s possible to bang out an app that actually streams the real time status of a fucking space station’s toilets in an afternoon. I mean what the hell
I was particularly fond of the naming:
Really is isn’t it? A friend made this and forced me to be an alpha tester, and I just had to share.
Wonder what the reasoning behind that is. Some of the takes people (devs and users) have had on Lemmy design decisions have been frankly a bit weird too – like when someone requested instance blocking so they could block Lemmygrad:
Nutomic: Would it be an option for you to switch to another instance which blocks lemmygrad.ml? For example https://sopuli.xyz/ or https://beehaw.org/
dessalines: This may be a non-issue, because I’ve added an easy way to block communities from that community page in the next release (you could already block them by going into your user settings). So you could just block communities from instances you’d rather not see, as they show up in your feed.
I kind of agree with nutomic tho, that if you don’t want to see communism in your feed, you’re better off signing up for an explicitly anti-communist instance.
And someone suggested instance blocks be logged and reported to admins:
ericjmorey: The implementation of this feature should include a log and reporting accessable to instance admins of when a blocking action was taken and the current state of which instances are being blocked by which accounts.
Weird API. Returning the text for deleted comments and then expecting clients to redact it seems highly silly
And the thing is, I think the reality is even worse than that.
Current AI models aren’t going to lead to general AI, we need something radically different. The current “static” neural network models just won’t cut it, we need something like spiking neural networks so the AI can be “on” all the time.
Actual AGI is probably still so far away that I doubt mass-scale industrial society has enough years left before either the climate or some other human-caused idiotic omnifuck kicks the chair away from under it.
Well, could be like Taiwan; never, ever underestimate the human capacity for fucking things up. If there’s one thing humans are exceptionally good at, it’s making the dumbest fucking decisions you can possibly make without being single-celled.
Who knows how the world would have turned out if things had gone in such a different direction.
We meatbags have to be the absolute worst role models for AIs
Fines levied by the EU can be pretty damn stiff though, so I doubt Bluesky can afford to just ignore the DSA
Current models point towards a max ~6°C anomaly for the pessimistic (and, imo, most probable) scenarios where we continue acting as we are now.
Ehh, I mean yeah I get what you mean, but guns are still pretty useful tools (if not exactly pleasant.) US gun fetishism is way off the deep end, but we’re still pretty far from “bluetooth smart diaper” territory
Men are going off the deep end
Guns are inanimate.
People who do dumb shit like this are dumb.
And in your opinion, how could I have better represented someone test firing a gun in their own goddamn hand?
Wait, you’re right. After your reply I think “moron” was way too lenient of me.
Please tell me you weren’t wearing eye or ear protection, that’d make this even better.
Yeah, using the wrong kind of filament accidentally is understandable and doesn’t say anything about anyone’s intelligence.
Takes a real moron to test fire a brand new experimental gun in their hand, and then cry about it and blame their friend when it inevitably goes sideways
I just remember news about Germany planning to halve military aid to Ukraine from the summer, but honestly I haven’t been keeping up with the situation
But considering that Ukraine has been facing consistent shortages of materiel – including things like various kinds of artillery ammunition (although part of the problem especially with shells is that production is still ramping up) – that really doesn’t seem to have been the case. A lot of the equipment they’ve been given has just been token amounts that are clearly not enough but makes it seem like at least we’re doing something.
And none of that necessarily translates to a sufficient will to help Ukraine. Germany has already been making it clear they want to scale down support
Truly a utility that we have all been waiting for without even knowing it.
