I do, because between every online service being hammered by scrapers training AI and every online service being stuffed full of AI slop, it’s ruining the internet.
- Comment on We are back in sync with lemmy.world! 1 week ago:
Lemmy works by sending a message between servers, waiting for an OK, sending another message, waiting for an OK, etc.
That means if servers are on opposite sides of the world and it takes 0.2 seconds to send a message and get an acknowledgement, you have a hard limit of 5 messages that can be sent per second, even if they’re both on 100 gigabit links.
Lemmy.world was sending aussie.zone about 16,000 messages per hour, which is about 4.5 per second. So around 220 ms per message. And it wasn’t keeping up.
Now lemmy.world has… it looks like two separate connections sending messages to aussie.zone, so it can have two messages in flight at a time.
- Comment on Battery tech really does move fast 1 month ago:
But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.

Well, we have preferential voting, so you can vote for whoever you actually want and put both of those further down the ballot.
- Comment on Senator threatens climate body after nuclear 'carbon bomb' report 1 month ago:
I mean, the proposal is to build seven new nuclear plants in a country with no existing nuclear industry. That’s probably just realistically how long that would take, so nuclear is the problem.
It can’t be deployed quickly, and it especially can’t be deployed quickly by Australia. If it could, the coalition wouldn’t be using it as an excuse to keep burning coal and gas.

It’s school IT, so it was probably a teacher who ‘knows computers’ and not anyone with IT training.

IIRC the pop up even did scummy bullshit like continuing with the update if you closed the popup by clicking the cross in the top right of the window, you had to actually click the cancel button.

Yeah… One of my great great grandmothers, nobody was ever allowed to know how old she was while she was alive. It was this weird mystery.
Turns out if you knew her age you could easily count backwards and work out that when she got married she was 13 years old and about four months pregnant.

But seriously, having a sense of taste for the interior of one’s home does not make a person gay— it means you’re an adult with good taste. It does, however, run the risk of classifying you as “fabulous.”
“I’ve had loads of gay experiences. I’ve seen a pair of shoes and said, I have to have them! I’ve described a cake as ‘to die for’. But I’ve never had the gay experience of having another man’s cock in my mouth and/or bum. And I think that really is the one that counts.”

‘Teases prototypes’? Do they think it’s 2010? Nobody cares about your EV prototypes, launch something people can buy or just resign yourself to being killed off by the wave of Chinese EVs.
As a great philosopher once said, “Shit or get off the pot.”

at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones
Blasphemy!
4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.

People seem to have this weird idea that those houses will just be set on fire or something, instead of being bought at lower prices by people who want to live in them.

- Comment on I don't hate Body Type replacing Gender, I hate laziness 7 months ago:
My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.
Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.
Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn’t be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren’t putting that much thought into character creation.
