Oh man, I can’t wait to listen to “Blast if I have to” by E A Ski using kitty! 😄

I use “brother” in my head when I’m listening to music.

In case it’s of help, a common problem I find with guides in general is that they assume I don’t already use Apache (or some other service), and describe as though I’m starting with a clean system. As a newbie, it’s hard to know what damage the instructions will do to existing services, or how to adapt the instructions.

Since docker came along it’s gotten easier, and I’ve learned enough about ports etc to be able to avoid collisions. But it would be great if guides and tutorials in general covered that situation.

Turning wine into water

The best time to start boycotting was when they started platforming a conspiracy theorising, testicle headed manosphere peddler. The next best time is not I suppose.

Thank you so much. I’ve found a Wikipedia page on him and his research so I’ll give it a read. The poor money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow

Does anyone know the name of this monkey or experiment? It’s kind of harrowing seeing the expression on its face. It looks desperate for affection to the point of dissociation.

I can imagine that working, actually.

I know one study found that 51% of summaries that AI produced for them contained significant errors. So AI-summaries are bad news for anyone who hopes to be well informed. source https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0m17d8827ko

And a story like this happening right outside their door.

I agree. I’m not thinking about USA at all.

As for the EU, we should fund a federated or decentralised system. I think it works well on Lemmy. For example I know not to trust feddit.org for anything related to Palestine. Content on other servers shows their pro-Israel bias.

I think a system like that could benefit the US to a point, at least until the government block all external news and commentary.

You’re right 🤦🏻‍♂️

I had no idea. You’re right. It was a $15B business in 2019. https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/3/21121207/youtube-google-alphabet-earnings-revenue-first-time-reveal-q4-2019

Makes the ads seem even more obscene now that I know that.

I think it’s running it at a loss too. But there’s no reason these platforms couldn’t be publicly owned.

Cover the windows from the outside (not inside) to stop sunlight raising the temperature through the glass. I use tinfoil.

That would be so good if they had a competent author.

USA are searching people’s phones for signs of criticism of government policy. They are detaining and deporting people (even citizens). China is not the sole bogeyman you think it is.

My mother decided my father would explain to me. I was dreading it. He turned up looking pretty uncomfortable / fearful himself. It was excruciating before it even started. He opened with “they teach this at school don’t they?” and I saw my exit. “Yes”, I replied. And that was it.

We spent a few hours on it in school.
