Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the "red mirage" is an observed phenomenon when the overall in-person vote count leans to one party, while provisional votes or absentee ballots, often counted later, lean towards the otherEnglish

Linux@programming.dev•Apple Reacts to the Framework Pro (video)
41·2 months agoWell, it looks fine for web browsing.
Specs sure read like my 2010 PC. If that works for ya, cool … I ain’t even looking at the price though. I’d just as soon plug in my 2004 laptop that’s still running fine on XP & an old version of Ubuntu.

Linux@programming.dev•Apple Reacts to the Framework Pro (video)
62·2 months agoInteresting, but there’s no evidence they are nazi themselves, just that they intentionally disregard whether any of their partners are nazis, and only concern themselves with whether or not any partnership furthers their goal of promoting open source tech.
So their focus is just limited and immature.
They themselves can still do a lot of good, orgs don’t need to be perfect, but I too would expect them to remove support for extremist led project when made aware, as to ensure they weren’t inadvertently supporting extremist views and actions. But I also can’t see punishing them for being politically or socially stupid while otherwise being very tech savvy.
Like we’ve never met a socially awkward tech savvy person before?
The world is mostly a bunch of grey areas: at this point I disapprove of a couple of their actions, but I won’t boycott them outright for their error.
If they started flying nazi flags themselves, well, then, I suppose things would be a bit different.

Technology@beehaw.org•Start with the sensors, then design the rest: How Zoox built its robotaxi
6·2 months ago"The name “Zoox” is a reference to Zooxanthellae, a marine organism that, like the Zoox robotaxi, depends on renewable energy and is able to maintain a symbiotic relationship with organisms in its surrounding habitat.“
Actually kinda cool, but appropriately dumbed down to be usable in modern coversation, “hold on a sec, my Zoox just pulled up.”

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There's a pretty good chance that all the AI content scrapers used to get "Training data" have ingested all the Epstein files
20·2 months agoThose files are kinda a nightmare to navigate in their bare state. And the datasets are huge. I doubt anyone training AI would allow them to go through knowingly, less it was specifically a police invesigation and case law focused AI that was designed to process and categorize that kind of data.
Most AI are designed for functional discussion and factual data processing. It’s not a great idea to just feed in random trash.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anna's Archive Loses $322 Million Spotify Piracy Case Without a Fight;In addition to the penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site's domain namesEnglish
55·2 months agoFunny, the statute $2500 should be for the circumvention act, which was likely singular, not per file obtained during or as a result of the act. And the $150k is ridiculous in and of itself, even if for all files obtained. What a strange world we live in.
Spotify built a system of control in order to profit a few at a cost to many, perhaps everyone else.
Someone broke that system in order to benefit many, possibly at the cost of some of their ability to profit from their system of control–if they didn’t lose customers, or prospective customers, they didn’t experience any financial loss, or a loss in their ability to maintain their system of control (which is still very much in place and working).
Either way, nobody was hurt.
But the person who acted selflessly to benefit of society in general is punished.
Because… We, as a society, celebrate and work effortlessly to maintain complex systems of abuse in order to satisfy our greed or the greed of others. All despite being taught in school not to lie to and bully each other, and to share with and care for each other.
As a species: We are bat shit fucking crazy!

Science@beehaw.org•ADHD Isn’t Just 1 Condition. A New Study Shows What’s Actually Happening in the Brain
8·2 months agoYeah, it’s defined as one by the authorities on the subject regardless of the biological characteristics, as it’s defined according to the needs of psychologists to identify and treat dysfunction. Psychologists, especially those that treat patients, are generally not neurologists, or pharmacist, or… So they don’t really care about those details while defining the ‘condition’.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is that one software that you are using for 10 years and still loving it?
1·2 months agoThanks. Been trying to retire my age old PS6 portable app for ages, and want to move to Linux full time, but keep having to go back. GIMP has always been so frustrating to use. I install it, then run away after trying and struggling to do basic stuff.
Maybe Photogimp will get me there?

2·2 months agoUpvote for xnview, have you tried the MP version, or whatever it is. I think I run that now, but I have both installed still.
I actually just removed an old portable version that was just living rent free in my portable apps folder for years.

2·2 months agoI have a Andoku, a sodoku game that was open source and had the perfect setup options for selecting and placing numbers.
It got sold, and new devs immediately added ads and broke everything. I think it’s some sodoku 3 with subscription options now. Been running it since probably 2013ish.

Android@lemdro.id•TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro has a screen like paper, and a spec sheet that looks too good for $199English
2·2 months agoI run a matte screen protector on my S25. Installed it day one. Matte screens are great!
I was considering a nextpaper or ePaper device when I got the s25, but I wanted something more top of the line, but with a more paper like screen. I found the matte screen protector works great at softening the screen, making it more paper like, but the device isn’t low end, so I can throw anything at it and it just works.
I’ve had some rather disappointing experiences with lower end stuff.


I’ve heen casually riding at 16mph on single gear bikes since I was a teen.
Have the people deciding the speed limit ever riden a bike?
