Yup. Infuriating. I can’t remember how many times I saw a thread of someone asking my version of a question that was then closed as duplicate linking to an older one that wasn’t the right version and therefore the fix was irrelevant or at least not best practice anymore.

Yup. The whole exchange is fantastic. I do the head-nod part with my partner a lot if I struggle to explain something and she gives me a better phrasing for it (and vice versa).

It’s the ol’ “headache with pictures” quote that gets me.

Not just keylogger. It’s a screenlogger too.

I wager the word “radio” also helps. Early 1900s would have had plenty of radio broadcasts being “the thing” going on, so that word probably helps prime the interpretation, even if not used in quite the same way.

Instead of explaining what you mean, you’re just going to casually suggest they read a roughly 500 page book and hope that clears it up for them?

Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it’s AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You’ve never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?

It’s mostly my penchant for longer passwords in general. I did not plan to swap up strategies for my personal PC login account. Seeing microsoft demand a shorter password than I use almost everywhere else was… not promising.

Basically. It’s essentially a full-on sentence and last time I looked, Microsoft allowed about half the character length.

I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don’t allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC

It already has. I have gotten more spam calls in 2025 than I’ve gotten in the 5 or 10-ish years prior to that.

They’re either beating it back or delaying it. I hope it’s the former, but I fear it’s the latter.

Yup. One day of no shopping means the big corps just weather a day of lower purchases and the next day people will be buying the stuff they skipped out on friday. It’s hardly a noticeable blip to them.

Depends a bit, but yes? My weekly groceries is like $150+ (closer to $170 or so most weeks) for two of us, and that’s living in a pretty shit-ass cheap state.

I don’t even mind the 1 ignored message. At least it gives me slight context that people are replying to something. I hate that it gives me the little “new messages” indicator on chats when it’s only users I have ignored.

Hell, it can filter out tech people too. I’m a programmer by trade, but I almost dipped on lemmy because the onboarding is confusing enough. Like, I obviously (mostly) figured it out, but I did consider going “eh fuck it” and dipping. The site is ultimately a luxury and not a requirement, so effort or confusion required to get all started up is also something that’ll drive me to consider it not all worth it for some social media I’m not even sure I want to be a part of yet.

You are slightly and temporarily increasing the spacing between atoms/compounds in the stick. This spacing will effectively travel like a shockwave of “pull” down the stick.

I need a reminder of what hexbear is about. I recall something… off.

There’s a reason it sounds like that.

I find LLMs very useful for setting up tech stuff. “How do I xyz in docker?” It does a great job of boiling together several disjointed How Tos that don’t quite get me there into one actually usable one. I use it when googling and following articles isn’t getting me anywhere, and it’s often saved so much time.
