Every time I was banned by qrstuv it was for a good reason. I think we’ll all agree that community rules should be communicated over ban messages only. Let’s all thank qrstuv for keeping us safe from me.

I guess that’s where the resources are going now.

Does anyone here use Apple Maps? I started using it as part of diversification of services couple of years ago and it was mostly fine but I now wonder if anyone at Apple does.

Voice navigation in particular must have been switched to some LLM that was trained on data that didn’t contain enough of my language. Now Apple Maps calls a „rondo” (roundabout) a „rumdaboots”, usually surrounded by some rock eating noises. It also lost ability to pronounce most numbers over 10, especially if they’re written with diacritic signs but I guess they didn’t test if numbers work either. I was particularly confused when it pronounced „Robert Schumann street” as „Robert z humana street” (which translates to „Robert from humanities class”).

I stand corrected, tadalafil is not OTC in many countries, only sildenafil is. Tadalafil is OTC where I live since 2022 and I assumed it’s the same elsewhere.

If this this drug had a female equivalent it wouldn’t be sold OTC because it’s dangerous to take it when you have high blood pressure. This study just piles up more evidence for it. I guess this is a rare instance where sexism inherent to medicine and pharmacology bites men in the butt.

But do they really?

“There appears to be far less anti-AI sentiment in China (than elsewhere). Most people seem either positive, neutral, or mildly interested in AI,” said Shujing He, a Beijing-based senior analyst at advisory and research firm Plenum.

Came in here to recommend Towerfall. Played it with 6 people once - it’s a blast and scales well enough with high player counts.

It’s available for logged in users only since like a month ago or so. During one of the Mod Councils Spez promised they’d never get rid of it as long as someone’s using it, so they’ll just increase friction to access it more and more.

Poland, medium sized city so there’s pretty much nothing I could do through public healthcare which is nonexistent outside of biggest agglomerations.

There’s plenty of places that will charge you upwards of hundreds if not thousands of euros for a couple of days of diagnosis „experience”, for lack of a better word. I just looked up a local psychologist who does ADOS-2 certified assessments and took the results to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me formally after 2 visits that consisted of chatting about various life difficulty things. Cost me something like €300 total to get the required documentation for disability.

Unfortunately autistic burnout isn’t a medically recognised condition so it’s not like you’re going to get real help with that anywhere really. Maybe in some Nordic countries it’s more civilised. As it is now you’ll be prescribed antidepressants and encouraged to do more physical exercise. Which sucks, because it’s a very real thing and requires you to take things easy for a long time. I had to change jobs because I couldn’t keep pace but realistically even if I crashed and burned nobody would care. It’s getting better now but I had to lean on my spinal injury to get longer medical leave when things got too tough.

$6400 per layoff.

Does that make it legal? Cool.

I’m not worried about backups since all of Myrient content originated elsewhere. The true value of Myrient was how accessible and fast it was and that’s the hard part that this project hasn’t demonstrated yet.

Source is some political influencer paying Elon Musk for better reach on Twitter who reposted this:

Literally anyone can observe wording in BBC headlines (a side hobby for many) and come up with an image like this. Not really "caught".

Just like real doctors 👀

It’s normal for a person experiencing psychosis to have trouble understanding reality through a lens of a sane person, yes.

My code was scraped according to this website but let’s not kid ourselves that any kind of opt-out will prevent this. Any corpo knows that you can outsource all of your shady dealings to a couple of layers of third party vendors and pretend you didn’t know any better. It’s safe to assume that if you use an LLM that you didn’t train yourself you’re violating copyleft of some GPL project.

This is a Reddit post packaged as a news piece without any independent investigation done by reporting website. Someone could have been scammed or robbed but it’s also possible that this post a scam against retailer as well.

Has been predicted for almost as long as the year of Linux on desktop.

Windows NT kernel was never an issue, Microsoft would encounter exact same issues they’re facing now since the pressure to monetise remains.

I stand corrected. I have trouble with treating people who are still active on Twitter seriously, hence the snark.

That’s also what many other social media would do because it’s easier to ban posting of personal information regardless of where it came from because you can’t trust moderation you outsourced to some third world country to do proper checks.

Example:

Reddit is quite open and pro-free speech, but it is not okay to post someone's personal information or post links to personal information. This includes links to public Facebook pages and screenshots of Facebook pages with the names still legible.

Posting someone's personal information will get you banned. When posting screenshots, be sure to edit out any personally identifiable information to avoid running afoul of this rule.

Dunno if Bsky has something similar but it’s more of a cost optimisation than anything so people are getting pointlessly angry at individual companies rather than the system which has this sort of behaviour as a guaranteed outcome.

Multiple online casinos for underage customers that he runs disagree.
