  • Im an unworthy Fraud when it comes to Tech

  • I think this is the first time I've seen someone bring up Dunning-Kruger to comfort someone rather than insult them

  • How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?

    Jump

  • I made filters with uBlock Origin that block out from Lemmy (and some other sites) any post containing one of the words "Trump", "Elon", "Musk", "RFK Jr", "maga", or "nazi".

    You still stay mostly up-to-date because that shit has a way of filtering through anyways, but you cut out 90% of the redundant fluff. I originally set the filters up in November when I was feeling very similar to how I imagine you felt when you made this post.

  • I had a hysterectomy on Thursday and recovery is boring and painful. Do y'all have any questions for me?

  • What's your earliest dream you can still remember?

  • What should I get my online friend for their birthday?

    Jump

  • I think the screenshot is from their friend's account, to show us what kinds of games they've already played? Wasn't super clear to me either though

  • I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product..

    Jump

  • It says you're bound by "opening and using" the product, rather than "opening or using". Have someone else open it for you. Then neither of you have done both.

  • Can you please help me clear some doubts regarding LGBTQIA stuff?

    Jump

  • Using they/them by default is already a good start - I would be surprised to learn if neopronouns are a thing at all in languages that don't have gendered pronouns to begin with. they/them is perfectly acceptable to 99+% of people - both cis and LGBT+.

    You can just say LGBT or LGBT+. Lots of others are in use but very, very few people will legitimately get mad at you for picking one over any other.

    If someone specifically tells you to call them a certain thing, you should call them that thing. Otherwise just stick to they/them.

    If someone tells you their sexuality and it is not relevant to you, you have no obligation to ever bring it up again, just as with any form of oversharing.

    And as for why some people share these things even though you may personally find it too revealing - that's just down to personal preference. Different things are important to different people in different ways. Some people might go through their life never giving their gender a single thought. Others might base their life around affirming and fighting for it in various ways. Most people are somewhere in the middle. Everyone has a cause they believe in a lot - for some people, this is that cause. As an "Aero Ace" (a term I had to look up - "aromantic asexual" for those who also haven't encountered it), you're probably pretty predisposed to not care about any of this stuff on any significant level.

  • Medical science is in fact terribly biased against women because the standard baseline is almost always a typical male body

    Jump

  • The headline is of course misleading, but not really for the reasons you pointed out. Nobody is going to read that headline and think it means 93% of gynecological research is conducted on men. Some people might read it and think it means 93% of medical research overall is conducted on men, though.

  • Yes but it's not hooked up to cable or the internet. I just use it for the Switch, or I'll occasionally hook it up as an alternate second monitor to my PC and play a movie on it. It hasn't been turned on in a few weeks and the last time was to be used as a temporary monitor to set up a new headless PC.

  • Adding on to the reasons others posted: Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. If you take off a year for him, that puts an immense amount of pressure on him. Pressure to go to the same school as you, pressure to go to school at all, even pressure to stay in the relationship.

    It's always gonna be "They made this gigantic life decision to their detriment for me, so if I change my mind about anything and want to do things differently, like by going to a different school, or not going to a school, or wanting to break up, then I'm a huge ungrateful jerk."

    Putting that kind of pressure on someone isn't really cool, especially if they're actively discouraging you from doing so.

    From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs?

  • How much weight are the 8-10 humans at tier 2.5 carrying?

    Jump

  • Others have covered that there were internal supports, so they were supporting nothing at all. But let's assume they weren't.

    I'm going for an intentional underestimate - so let's say there are 10 people in your layer (I think 8 is more likely), then 24 above them, 18 above them, 18 above them, 25 above them, 14 above them, and 2 above them. I think most people would agree those are underestimates for each ring.

    That's 101 people being supported by 10 people. If we take another underestimate that each of those people weighs 100 pounds (45.36 kg) then that's 10,100 pounds (4581.28 kg) - or 1010 pounds (458.13 kg) supported by each of the 10 people in your ring, completely ignoring the weight of the metal rings visible in the picture. So I think it's safe to say it was mostly the internal supports at work.

  • I'm in firefox + uBlock on lemmy.world too, and it works fine for me - I can see on my current front page 2 posts are being blocked and the rest are showing up. Do you have any other uBlock filters going on? Are you on some page other than the lemmy.world homepage? Are you using the default UI or one of the alternate UIs?

  • What an insightful post 🙂

    The only one of these I've updated since the original is the one for Ars Technica, which is now this:

    arstechnica.com##:not(:not(head>title:has-text(/Serving the Technologist/))) article:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi|doge|maga/i)

    The reason being that 'Ars Technica' now appears in the title of articles, while it didn't originally, which caused the original filter to block out entire articles. 'Serving the Technologist' only appears on the homepage so this updated filter will still filter the homepage but display the contents of articles that contain blacklisted words.

    What's your sleep schedule like?

    Jump

  • Today I went to sleep at 7am and removed up at 3pm. Next week I'm just as likely to go to bed at 8pm and wake up at 4am. No real schedule, but I tend to slowly drift forward. Sometimes I get caught on a split schedule where I'll sleep twice a day for half as long.

  • What happens when I ignore the cookie preference dialogue on websites?

    Jump

  • Good to know that's the default. I do definitely see prompts that have "Reject all", plus some banners that only have "Accept all" and "Cookie settings", with "Reject all" or "Necessary cookies only" only visible in the cookie settings. Thanks.

  • What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?

    Jump

  • I tried out the 8B deepseek and found it pretty underwhelming - the responses were borderline unrelated to the prompts at times. The smallest I had any respectable output with was the 12B model - which I was able to run, at a somewhat usable speed even.

  • What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?

    Jump

  • Fair, I didn't realize that. My GPU is a 1060 6 GB so I won't be running any significant LLMs on it. This PC is pretty old at this point.
