kautau@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Google CIO Calls Trump Admin’s Climate Denialism “Fantastic” | Ruth Porat called for data centers to be powered by coal, gas, and nuclearEnglish6·2 days agoIt’s wild that “we’re cooked” started as straight meme terminology but now literally describes the future of the human race
Teleports behind your last bit of land
Honestly I loved playing lacrosse in high school. I wasn’t amazing at it, but I had a lot of fun. I ended up tearing my ACL in varsity so I stopped, but I don’t regret playing. I would play again today, but I’m too old now. Too many physical things that could go wrong, I’m over that hill, and that’s ok.
I also don’t get mad very often, so I don’t feel ragebaited at all lol, weird how people think that no man can just answer a question honestly without turning into a ball of anger.
What’s pretty interesting to me is, when I was tripping on mushrooms hard many years ago, the Mac OSX Aqua interface was beautiful but unusable (likely any user interface would have been), felt like interacting with a squishy wet portal to another dimension, and reading interface items and digesting what something like “close” meant was nigh impossible, like “is this element close to me?” “Should I close this element like a door?”
But years later, in dreams I’ve noticed it’s similar to how my brain was interacting with an interface while tripping, which definitely has similarities, it’s no wonder Aldous Huxley wrote

Yeah and as we do, we fucked up their transition to a democratic state but in the process created a very unique nation
kautau@lemmy.worldto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•[...] Steve Wozniak [75th birthday]: "I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for"English94·4 days agoWhen I was in college studying Comp Sci I did a whois on Woz’s domain and sent an email to the registered email (this was generally before the days of free whois protection), not expecting a response, just mentioning how cool his work on the Apple I & II was among others, and how as a CS student was exciting to see where technology had gotten to, asking him what he was up to.
I got a response a day later, thanking me for my email, talking about how he loved hearing from students, telling me about his current dancing with the stars stuff (this was in late 2009), among some other quips and such.
Felt incredibly down to earth and casual, and while I know it only took him maybe 5 minutes to write that email, or maybe it was even copied and pasted, it was super cool to get a response from such a tech icon.
kautau@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricityEnglish1·5 days agoBasically, but with MCP and SLMs interacting rather than a singular model, with the coordinator model only doing the work to figure out who to field the question to, and then continuously provide context to other SLMs in the case of more complex queries
This is just the Trump administration in courts right now

There were certainly companies that survived, because yes, the idea of websites being interactive rather than informational was huge, but everyone jumped on that bandwagon to build useless shit.
As an example, this is today’s ProductHunt
And yesterday’s was AI, and the day before that it was AI, but most of them are demonstrating little value with high valuations.
LLMs will survive, likely improve into coordinator models that request data from SLMs and connect through MCP, but the investment bubble can’t sustain

Depends on how you use your computer. Plenty of people would tell you that using a GUI file manager and cutting/moving files is inefficient on any platform as opposed to just using a terminal.
There are times where it’s nice to drag a file or group of files and have Finder show me the content of the destination folder before I decide to drop the files. But sure I could do that with 3 mouse clicks and 4 keyboard taps.
I think that terminal only or primarily terminal is valuable, a combination of mouse and keyboard with shortcuts is valuable, and also the ability to just use your mouse (especially helpful for accessibility) is also valuable, and they all should be supported.

Pretty sure that’s a joke, my guess is like blue razz flavored ice cubes or something
kautau@lemmy.worldto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•Just Noticied The Boycat Firefox Extension Warning Me Against RedditEnglish4·7 days agoSure, the extension is a zip that can be downloaded, and you’re correct, it’s an injected react app.
Generally, you can just beautify / format JS in your editor to get a better look
If that doesn’t work, usually https://lelinhtinh.github.io/de4js/ is helpful
This is also certainly one of the places where AI has better application than most of how it’s used today
Most of the actual logic occurs in popup.bundle.js but there’s a number of files
But skipping through the boilerplate react and webpack stuff you can find the Supabase specific-code
Without even beautifying one of the smaller files you immediately see
And then in the popup code you see
So it’s definitely just showing you affiliate links to fund itself from what it considers “ethical” alternatives. I also saw Posthog in there which they are using for analytics, but it looks like
It’s configured to not capture each pageview you go to, so it’s not tracking every site you’re on, it looks like only if you’re browsing amazon or ebay based on the background runner code:
While that would occur in a perfect world, that’s not nearly as easy as many make it out to be.
Very few people have the financial capability to just “get up and move,” and even if they can, they generally need a work visa sponsorship, which is no easy feat for many industries.
Asylum is possible in very small circumstances, but you need to prove a significant burden of proof, and as of now, most countries are kissing trumps feet, not working to get US citizens out who want to leave.
If you overstay your tourism or student or work visa in another nation you will be deported, ironic considering people with those same valid visas are being deported from the us
You can’t just “apply to move” to another country in many situations without certain immigration requirements, most of which require you to have a job approved in another country before you move there
A comment like “just get up and move somewhere else” has big Ben Shapiro energy
