- Comment on What would happen if all White House staff quit (not the political staff, but the cooks, cleaners, etc.)? 1 day ago:
Mostly silence …
But also some shouting by some very mad people.
- Comment on Do creatives maintain relevance because lay people can't edit AI generated works? 2 days ago:
Sure, some have more artistic abilities than others. That is not strictly the same as creativity, because most of it is craftsmanship. Learning and practising.
- Comment on Do creatives maintain relevance because lay people can't edit AI generated works? 2 days ago:
If you say “creatives” but think “making money”, then no really meaningful answer is possible.
We should rather talk about creativity itself. While current AI is just generators, it becomes obvious that they must lack creativity. So creativity is one of the things that fundamentally separates humans from AI. Creativity will endure. Creatives will always be there.

- Comment on Should I move out? 2 days ago:
I’ve tried to repair things with these people, but majority of the time I don’t think I do anything wrong. I know I may come off as ignorant, but I whenever I cut somebody off majority of the time I explain why in a respectful way without arguing with them.
I did that with somebody recently and they ended up telling everybody I tried to sexually abuse them, which obviously didn’t happen.
Most of them have had me blocked since high school and yet they still have things to say about me to the people I know today.
I’m having a hard time trying to find out for what purpose you have written exactly this as an answer to my (attempted) advice.
- Comment on Should I move out? 2 days ago:
You seem to hate either people in general, or life in general.
If you move, you are not going to take these Australian people with you. But you are going to take your own attitude with you.
I am a huge fan of the principle to always repair only there where it needs repairing, but not try to repair things that aren’t even broken. (My knee surgeon and my dentist share the same opinion, btw).
- Comment on If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger? 5 days ago:
It’s got nothing to do with ham.
Does that mean porcelain isn’t for pork either?
- Comment on Can you open up an unmanned store in the US and will it stay in business or close down? 5 days ago:
unmanned store
It’s easy if you are a woman

- Comment on If French people are strict about eating on a set schedule, then when do waiters and cooks eat? 5 days ago:
Go to Italy and see some people who are doing it for real.
- Comment on Why does all AI graphic design have the exact same style? 5 days ago:
You are asking: “why are all AI users the same kind of stupid and want it this way - at least all the ones that I am watching”
- Comment on Build my PC into my Desk? 6 days ago:
Cooling will be difficult, but you could use the bottom side and drill many holes in it. As many as possible. As large as you dare to. Try to sand all the edges a bit, so the air flow becomes a bit quieter.
Another big thing is vibrations. All turning things create vibrations, and the desk itself is going to intensify them so much more than a typical computer case. You could use rubber or foam pieces to catch them.
- Comment on Who will win the elections in Russia 1 week ago:
Who will win the so-called elections in Russia
Fixed the question for you ;-)
Answer: doesn’t really matter. Whatever you like to call him, he’s going to remain the same.
- Comment on How can we see other galaxies, and how do we know how many galaxies there are? 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t you know that Stephen Hawking has counted them all?

- Comment on Local homeserver suddenly not responsive to SSH but can be pinged 2 weeks ago:
I have also seen a situation where ssh did not accept a connection anymore when the disk was full.
- Comment on Local homeserver suddenly not responsive to SSH but can be pinged 2 weeks ago:
From what machine? Pc? Mobile? If a PC, how is it connected to the Pi? Direct cable, a switch, a WiFi…? Does the Pi use a fixed address in your home network?
- Comment on How common were video game scalpers in the 1990s? 2 weeks ago:
There was no concept of a device that was always connected to the Internet in the 80s for most users.
I knew people who used “finger” on unix like systems for same purpose as people use a “status” today (ok without pictures because of low bandwidth)
- Comment on How common were video game scalpers in the 1990s? 2 weeks ago:
There was no digital payment - you had to send cash, cheque or postal order in an envelope.
Usa over there? ;-)
Here we had reliable money transfers through the banking system (very affordable, provable) for decades earlier, and it was made accessible online in the 80s, long before the www was invented.
- Comment on how can I identify problems i'm having 2 weeks ago:
By stopping to be a bot?
- Comment on How common were video game scalpers in the 1990s? 3 weeks ago:
As far as tickets to sporting events and concerts, back then it was illegal to resell them for more than face value in my state. That changed 10-15 years ago thanks to lobbying from Ticketmaster and affiliates.
I think that it was the other way round for games. Laws have been developing all the time towards advantages for copyright owners.
- Comment on How common were video game scalpers in the 1990s? 3 weeks ago:
We did everything in the 90s. Even if I don’t know what you mean :)
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Make a copy, or two. Write today’s date on it.
Keep the copies for 10 years. Most CDs last for 10 years or more, but not all. Therefore, after 5 years already make a new copy. And so on.
- Comment on Why do we assume paper towels are sterile, or at least clean? 3 weeks ago:
The industrial process of making paper is pretty sterile (Nobody checks and guarantees it, though).

- Comment on War attention priorities 3 weeks ago:
No list. It is just en vogue in a certain corner of the political spectrum, and many of the lemmy bosses and mods live in that corner.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It is easy:
You just have to flatten the earth, and already everybody is in the same time zone.
- Comment on If you take a water balloon filled normally at the surface of the ocean and take it down, like 100 meters would it deflate due to the higher water pressure? What if you popped it? 3 weeks ago:
Liquid Water does not change it’s density much with pressure, but yes.
- Comment on Why does the Grim Reaper hold a scythe? Was he or she farming or something when they became the grim reaper? 3 weeks ago:
It separates grass from ground, and heads from bodies. Wooosh!
- Comment on why do we punish people when nothing bad happened ? 4 weeks ago:
punish people when nothing bad happened ?
Well, we don’t. We just make them pay a fine.
But where are you from, where is it a punishment?
- Comment on Would moving/shifting in the 4th (spacial) dimension be fatal? 4 weeks ago:
Would moving/shifting in the 4th (spacial) dimension be fatal?
You would disappear immediately. That’s all. Noone of us would have a way of knowing if you’re still alive or not, so it makes no difference :)
(Usually we call time the 4th dimension, but you want to use a 4th spatial dimension, which isn’t even defined in physics, only in math)
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Money is just paper (or old blue jeans, if Usa) with funny things printed on it.
It is nothing unless some people believe in it’s value. And first it needs someone who guarantees for the value.
Governments do that, by tradition. Usually they also make a rule that XY shall be the only official currency in a country.
Cryptos make an exception: it is private entities who tell people to believe in their value. And so their value is usually less stable.
If you, private xyz, invent your new “region-free” currency, you are going to have a hard time with making anyone believe in it’s value.
