• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How com the ad industry make so much money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I will tell you, as someone who runs a business and doesn’t really advertise, you need ads to actually make money. I do not make enough to rely on my business as a sole source of income. I also do not have enough money to spend on effective advertising. So basically I’m stuck unless I want to take venture capital money (I don’t).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would I go about turning this into a power-generating wind turbine.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not going to be able to generate much power from that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would an LLM AI model trained wholly on consenting open source projects with a license requiring all derivative works be open source licensed still be problematic?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would still be problematic, yes. You can’t copyright the output of an LLM, so you can’t actually enforce any license on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if you maxxed out your credit cards and line of credit then moved to some village in the phillipines?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not much other than never being able to return. It happens more often than you think.

  You am well come.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨May want to learn how to spell before you have kids⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s “we start us lives together”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not trying to slander them. It’s just my opinion. They put time and effort into their videos; they’re just, like, lowest common denominator videos. To me, that makes them slop. A million times better than AI slop, but still slop, in the same way that History Channel videos are slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sensationalist. It is well researched, so it’s generally technically accurate, and they admit when they make a mistake. But, it’s also generally focused on things that are either very hypothetical, or just not helpful. Basically, it’s high quality clickbait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s right. Kurzgesagt may be slop, but it’s man-made slop. Slop delicately crafted by real human hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See you goon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this supposed to say?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many programming languages have their own package manager?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s one central repository regardless of distribution or even OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t eat out of your toilet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you can buy metal toilets. They have them in prisons, usually. I think people don’t buy them because they don’t like the look. I certainly wouldn’t want a metal toilet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because porcelain, in the shape of a bowl, is incredibly good at staying relatively clean and being easy to clean when it eventually does get dirty. Those are the most important properties you want for something that you literally shit into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. They’re also delicious to lick.

  I think I’ve watched things on like five devices at once on my Jellyfin. Never had this issue.

  If you don’t catch something from the garbage…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone explain, calories, carbs, glucose, and gluten?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Calories are energy. More calories equals more energy. Calorie dense foods tend to be kinda bad for you, but not always. “Empty calories” means calories that don’t have any nutritional value, like alcohol and trans fats. The reason things like Splenda don’t have “calories” isn’t because they don’t have energy. They do. It’s because your body can’t digest them, thus can’t take any of that energy. Therefore, metabolically speaking, it has no calories.

  Carbs are carbohydrates, meaning sugars and starches. This is the kind of food your body directly uses as energy. It can’t be broken down into proteins (because it’s not made of proteins) and it can’t be used to digest fat soluble vitamins (because it’s not fat), it can only be used to provide energy. Your body will either use it as energy or turn it into fat. It is one of four major groups of things your body can digest, carbs, fats, proteins, and alcohols. (You need vitamins too, but you don’t really digest them, so they don’t have calories.)

  Glucose is a simple sugar. Unlike starches, your body doesn’t need to break it down to use it. Your cells can directly use it. Great for if you need an energy boost during vigorous exercise.

  Gluten is a protein mostly found in grains. Your body will break it down into amino acids and use it to make the proteins it needs.

  A lot of nutritional advice is over complicated. The best advice I’ve ever heard comes Dr Steven Novella:

  “Eat a varied diet, mostly plants.”

  Another thing is that if you’re talking about weight loss (and only weight loss), the only thing that matters is calories in to calories out. If you are on a calorie deficit (disregarding severe medical conditions), you will lose weight. If you eat at a calorie surplus (again, disregarding medical conditions, like the inability to digest food), you will gain weight. You can lose weight eating nothing but chocolate cake and Cheetos. You will be wildly unhealthy and feel like shit, but you will weigh less.

  For the most part, you don’t need to worry about eating the right things, as long as you aren’t eating the wrong things. (Fast food and snacks are generally bad for you in excess.)

  Bye, Felicia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which is it Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It went through the portal at speed, so it should exit the portal at speed. That’s my take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone confirm?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  New York, LA, Chicago, and Houston, apparently.

  Ok, cool, so we agree that trans men are real men.
