  Wait, everyone can smell dead ants? Pretty sure I can’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's has DeepL become?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I don’t get the double negative. My point was that DeepL using Ai in general is not weird or bad by itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's has DeepL become?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The screenshot doesn’t claim to use LLMs though. AI could be anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's has DeepL become?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok I see what you mean. On mobile it still opens the translator but on desktop it’s pretty annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's has DeepL become?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As stupid as that home page looks, DeepL is one of the services that was already using “AI” and it’s a valid use case. Has the functionality actually changed?

  The doors in my house didn’t close when I was a kid either (there was stuff in front of them). It didn’t feel weird at the time but I still have trouble seeing any space as mine. But this feels very light in comparison because it’s not hidden that your parents can hear you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Without carrying out any actual hacking, simply by logging in with an arbitrary Google account"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel this can be even worse when it’s not obvious the parents are going through their stuff. Kids will know they’re being watched but not necessarily how. This can really fuck with your head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Without carrying out any actual hacking, simply by logging in with an arbitrary Google account"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So the purpose of this web portal is to show parents a transcript of their child’s conversations with their toys. Even if you ignore all security implications of storing this data, isn’t this a break of trust by itself? Don’t kids deserve a minimum of privacy?

  Pretty sure Sebastián would be happy to answer this question to non-journalists too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How/why does Microsoft teams exist?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of curiosity are you on wayland? At some point teams stopped letting me share my screen (there wasn’t even a button) and it was around the time I changed to wayland so that was probably why. I haven’t tried it since then so maybe they fixed it but it was pretty weird.

  Just gonna leave this here (for desktop at least): github.com/codebicycle/videospeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  one kid thought he was rich enough to buy a house. Trying to tell him he’s not and he thinks I took his money (and started crying, but also became friends?).

  I don’t know about confused, have you ever talked to a toddler?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey some bugs are cool, I wouldn’t exclude them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana scale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course this isn’t our galaxy, that’s why OP was so kind to add the missing banana for us

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My most controversial opinion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Broccoli on pizza is a thing though and it’s actually quite good when done right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does life have less value to people in Latin America?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is entirely speculation but the fact that there are active wars in the continent might affect how the data is classified. I don’t know how the article you posted defines homicide. There are some rules here www.unodc.org/unodc/en/…/iccs.html and it seems that deaths during war conflicts might not be counted as intentional homicides. Latin America hasn’t had many wars but had/has many conflicts involving guerrillas, cartels and political groups. Is it possible that many of the resulting deaths are counted as homicides whereas similar violence in Africa is counted as, for example, civil war deaths?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well shit, it had me convinced. I don’t remember what the argument was about so can’t really find the post to verify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw a comment recently that answered with “would a bot do this?” with a photo of a post-it note saying Not a bot :). Was kinda cute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who shops at small businesses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I shop from small businesses when it’s more convenient (which is actually more common than you’d think when you don’t have a car).

  Mini markets are closer than supermarkets and stay open longer so I’ll often get groceries from there even if it’s more expensive.

  When looking for a specific piece of equipment there are some things that can’t be delivered or they’d take an eternity to arrive so I find which stores sell it and go to the physical store, which is usually a smaller local place.

  I don’t know if thrift shops count as small businesses but they’re also more convenient than going to big clothes shops.

  And I guess most restaurants are local businesses too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does "DNS" work on the dark web?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From the link, since I think this is the part most equivalent to DNS.

  The Onion Service assembles an Onion Service descriptor, containing a list of its introduction points (and “authentication keys”), and signs this descriptor with the Onion Service’s identity private key.

  The Onion Service upload that signed descriptor to a distributed hash table, which is part of the Tor network, so that clients can also get it.

  Sorry, I’m too introverted for this. Where is the owner’s cat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re wearing jeans you can also strap it onto the belt straps. If it’s on the side it shouldn’t be too uncomfortable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So. Fucking. Cute.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is we keep destroying those habitats so it’ll take a lot of work before they can be reintroduced in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So. Fucking. Cute.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More minutes later :/

  Axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum is listed as Critically Endangered under criteria B2ab(iii,v).
