@codinghorror @paul yes, but had they used the current A19 Pro instead of the A18 Pro then they could've had 12GB, which would've been the sweet spot for this machine :(

@mcc it depends on the font I'm using, because sometimes—like this—I will use an em-dash without spaces, and sometimes – like this – I will use an EN dash with spaces, depending on what I think looks better.

Em dashes with spaces seems superfluous to me in all cases though.

@CStamp @Viss I think it means "scapegoat" 🙂

@britt what kind of hosting and technical assistance do you need?

(I mean, do you need a generic web server provider where you admin Mastodon yourself, or do you need a Mastodon-specific service provider similar to masto.host that is responsible for installing updates and other admin things on your behalf?)

@paul nice you found the loophole, us tech guys always win after all 😎

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”

A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.

Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.

And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw

I only found out today that American TikTok was taken over by the USA like half a week ago.

A few years ago there might’ve been more outrage from the CCP, but it’s fascinating how completely silent China has been on American affairs overall for the past year…

@rysiek what they want is for LLMs to be built into Discourse, which use the Discourse forum as a web source for research instead of just performing generic Google/web services like a typical researching cloud LLM would.

@glyph @joepie91 honestly I found out about kratom *from that video* a few weeks ago, and even after watching I was still kind of tempted. Could be a true infohazard for people with ADHD 😬

(I’m not going to take some)
