I LOVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION

For me the only reason to drive manual was becase automats used to be less effective. With current generation, the computer with its 12 gears is much more ecological then my macho hand lovingly stroking my cars stick can ever be..

By 2035, falling satellites will kill or injure someone every two years, says FAA

Wow, I've never heard about "GIZCHINA". It definitely isn't gizmodo - right? 🤔 Right!

  • it is a Czech company with entire capital stock consisting of 4USD 😎 (cca 100 CZK)
  • the text is showing hight probability of AI generation. Which adult human being is going to write eg: " In this article, we will discuss the FAA report in detail, including the risks posed by falling satellites, the causes of these risks, and the potential solutions to mitigate them." 🤖
  • it does not say anything else than this - much more likely human written thing here - only the original is only 1/3 as long. That is IMO how come the AI Writing is literraly jumping out on you from the article. 😱

This is my least favourite century yet.

IT support work be like

As somebody who did IT support - the last two seem perfectly normal to me:

  • Computer "forgot passwords" - obviosly the man is using different browser than regular and it ain't filling in his passwords. Maybee diferent profile in the same browser? Is he using the same account as usual?

  • Wind blowing away wi-fi. She is likely connected to the internet through a point-2-point wifi connection and there may be a tree or something along the way messing not wifi signal in her house but her connectivity to the outside. I'd refer her to her ISP, just instruct her to formulate the question a bit better.

Ah, the good old days

Ballpark numbers (guesstimated by ChatGPT). In the 50s (after the ww2 explosion of the US industrial capacity) you came home after an 8 hour shift in a fridge making factory and had an income that could easily keep up 3 kids (including education), 2 cars, 1 stay at home wife and a house (like in The Simpsons). Since then the work productivity has risen 600% - 700%, yet the average income has risen less than 150% and the median icome less than 80%.

Demonstration in Essen: Against Israel and in support of a Kaliphate in Germany

Reply in thread

I don't believe these 3000 individuals faithfully represent the 5+ milion Muslims who live in Germany nor the almost 2 bilion Muslims in the world.

What I do belive they represent is violent religious extremism. And that is not limited to Muslims. You got Buddhists shooting people in Myanmar, Jews shooting people in the west bank, Hindu stoning people in India and even 1st world American Christians shooting on plant parenthood clinics...

We should be vigillant whenever a religions doctrine gets into conflict with what we understand are basic human rights. I am not confident we are. I am not comparing PIS to idk Hamas - but how many women have died in Poland due to their anti-abortion laws and how is that acceptable?

Living the power user life over here

A dirty linux admin here. Imagine you get ssh'd in nginx log folder and all you want to know are all the ips that have been beating againts certain URL in around last let's say last seven days and getting 429 most frequent first. In kittie script its like find -mtime -7 -name "*access*" -exec zgrep $some_damed_url {} \; | grep 429 | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r | less depends on how y'r logs look (and I assume you've been managing them - that's where the zgrep comes from) should be run in tmux and could (should?) be written better 'n all - but my point is - do that for me in gui

(I'm waiting ⏲)

I am (also I suspect) visiting the WebToons site from EU and not only that I've failed to replicate the registration issue ( none required 🤔) - there is an RSS feed 😎. I don't think it's my UBlock on FFox fork as the site looks / acts the same on Safari on MacOS....

Tesla's Cybertruck may not be so stainless after all

Reply in thread

I am not an expert - just an avid knife freak - but in my experience "Stainless" means "Stain Less" not "Stain Resistent". Eg. s35vn is relatively high quality stainless knife steel - that does not mean it ain't gonna pickup stains - all mine did... I suspect one of the differences between my knifes / Elons Cybertruck vs. your cookware is that your cookware is mirror polished while my knives and the cybertruck are sporting "satin finish" which looks quite esthetically first 5 mnts - but is quite inpractical...
