  • Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?

    Jump

  • Yes. There are many solutions.

    Maybe the absolutely easiest to implement is just a signed message from an authority (gov.). You click a button on the website that requires verification, get a new tab to a gov. site with no identifiers from the site redirecting you and get a message you copy. The copied message is then pasted in to the site requiring verification. The site can then verify the message at their servers.

  • Where are the loot boxes and slot machines?

  • What would be the most optimal way to have good bodily nutrition with the lowest cost per meal?

    Jump

  • Rice, lentils, cheap vegetables (vary a bit) and dry broth.

    I ate this for every meal for a couple of months when I was really poor. I took vitamins and fish oil as well.

    Got some meat and dairy when eating with friends and family.

  • When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?

  • This is really simple. If you have more than a 1000 million dollars. Every day you decide to keep it instead of saving lives and helping people. It will never be moral

    Stop cramming everything onto one Pi: treat your home lab like a tiny ISP - hardware, stack, backups and an update plan

    Jump

  • I host everything on my Pi having turned off some logging. When I feel like it I use the command "dd" to copy everything exactly from the sd card to another as a backup with the same size. So when it stops working I just dd the new one to another one and replace the broken one with a new one. The SD cards have not stopped working yet though, after 1 year

  • What are popular, iconic, and must-listen songs from where you are from?

  • Sounds like an awful experience. Thanks for the explanation

    Any ideas on how to automatically open a finished dishwasher?

  • Which stage are you at?

    Jump

  • I used Fedora for a year or two. Had some issues. Had a USB stick laying around with the latest version Mint. So just installed that instead. Both options are good, but Mint just worked perfectly out of the box. No Nvidia driver stuff either. I don't have time to fix my OS, well.. I don't prioritise it. I know how, I just don't want to.

  • If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases?

    Jump

  • I paid for several, to test features and see if there is value. There is little value in paying, close to zero. The difference between the best models and the best free ones are miniscule. We are hitting a plateau now, with diminishing returns. Talking with AI is a nice UX feature, and is mostly paid, but Qwen has this for free.

    Images and video generation is not useful. Coding is slightly useful in very specific cases, but mostly useless. It gives a false sense of fast progress. In the long term it harms productivity. So it works for simple proof of concepts and inspiration/exploring solutions. If you are a junior in a language or software development, avoid it. Otherwise the road to becoming a senior will be long and hard.

    The most useful cases is "creativity", exploring ideas, and inspiration. And getting started with something where you don't know where to begin. If I want to know something about a topic, I find it as a useful and untrustworthy starting point, nothing can be trusted from AI, but it can introduce you to subjects so that you know what to look for. It is useful for exploring ideas and brainstorming.

    So don't pay, just use the free ones. There is low value in paying. If you have a PC with a mid/high end GPU you can install Jan.ai for free and use models locally also.

    I currently use Mistral and Qwen mostly. I still have a subscription to Mistral, and am waiting for it to run out.

  • The countryside can get pretty lonely. Once you retire there is no more socialising with coworkers. So there is only the family, friends and the community. Moving a way from family, friends and a place with lots of places to build new friendships (hobbies etc) could get lonely.

  • That's a work of art

    Jump

  • It's also super cool that they had a productivity institute before. I wonder what we could have achieved with something like that today.

    There are so many ways we could make society more efficient for everyone. Companies mostly focus on smaller issues for consumers, but society could have a more overarching look, and not focus on profits, but on quality of life and efficiency.

  • Upcoming MMO 'BitCraft Online' will be open source

  • Wow, looks fantastic. It being open source as well is really exciting

  • What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

    Jump

  • You should check out the movie Hardcore Henry 😉

  • My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?

    Jump

  • People sometimes cheat, not okay, but it happens. Most likely the marriage wasn't going so well, and he got some attention he wanted from someone else. Your mother is hurt and angry. But she does not have the right to deny your continued contact and bond with your dad.

    There is no good reason mentioned in your post to end your relationship with your dad to end.

    However, how the divorce is handled is more important in my opinion. If he in some major way makes sure she gets a bad unfair deal, then things are different. If he not only cheats, but also does not share in a fair manner, then he is really hurting your mother in a way that is harder to accept.

  • Most importantly, consenting adults. She is not even just barely an adult anymore. Not letting a 30 year old woman decide for herself is infantilizing.

  • It depends as most things. I think ultimately a divorce should make sure things are fair. Unless there was attempts to hide funds or something like that, the wealth acquired throughout the marriage should be split 50/50. A cheating spouse or anything like that is no reason for an uneven split. There should not be any additional financial pressure to stay in a marriage, than losing the advantage of having twice the wealth. (Bigger house etc)

    If one party made more money than the other, still 50/50. That's what is actually fair. A socialist/communist approach. Everyone knows deep in their heart, what is fair. Capitalism and wage differences already sucks, don't bring it into the marriage and the divorce, especially if kids are involved.

    If there is kids involved, then It is also extremely petty to try to cheat your spouse out of a fair deal during divorce. It's the parent of your children for fucks sake!

    Cheating sucks, but is not a reason to retaliate financially.

    Edit: Alimony / Spousal support is one of the many ways to make things continue to be fair afterwards. I am positive if children is involved

  • I am cishet white male, so I am probably ignorant. In my opinion you have no bigger obligation to be an activist than me.

    However, I do believe all people have a certain obligation to participate unless the cost is too severe.

    If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

    • Desmond Tutu

    I have a lower cost of participating due to my privileges, so I do. If you consider it probable that you will get significant consequences for activism, then it's just judgement call only you and your family can make.
