MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Can I interrupt chkdsk processEnglish11·1 month agoConsidering the ETA and that it’s been running for several days now, I’m guessing the fixing isn’t actually fixing
The LDS (Mormons) actually do repeat it, in a sense. Their weekly sacrament is a renewal of their baptismal blessings
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaroundEnglish22·1 month agoFor my wife and I, whose main background noise/entertainment is Let’s Play style videos on YouTube (Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, RTGame and such), paying for premium just makes sense. Like you said, we can and should criticize them for how they handle things, but everyone making a fuss about premium existing just makes no sense.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•To skirt copyright law, Anthropic bought and destroyed millions of physical books to train its "Claude" LLMEnglish27·2 months agoThis as well. Growing up in a house of book lovers, myself included, destroying a book was akin to kicking a puppy. Realistically though, they’re ultimately consumables. They’re meant to be bought, used, and replaced as needed. With luck the destruction included recycling as much as possible, seeing as it’s mainly paper.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•To skirt copyright law, Anthropic bought and destroyed millions of physical books to train its "Claude" LLMEnglish282·2 months agoYeah, this is on the way of being a win. In this case they actually bought the books, which has been one of the biggest issues with LLMs. There’s certainly more discussion to be had around how they use the materials in the end, but this is a step in the right direction.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Voyager@lemmy.world•Going to Home puts me at random place in listEnglish7·2 months agoI’ve had similar happening recently. Whenever I block a user or community it seems to auto refresh now but is forgetting to scroll back to the top, leaving me with unread posts above my current position
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google TimelineEnglish6·3 months agoThis is really awesome! I was just about to start looking for something like this, so great timing. Going to get this up on my Unraid server tomorrow and play around with it
A web browser is not a computer. A phone is not a desktop computer. Google (and most other large companies) keep many features restricted to their full websites, not mobile apps and mobile versions of their sites. For those who are used to/grew up with smartphones, tablets, and chromebooks, these tactics help to make it harder to leave their ecosystems as they aren’t used to navigating desktop environments.
(Chromebooks do give desktop versions of websites by default, but they have helped reduce technological literacy in exchange for convenience)
They said to try again on a computer. All your screen shots are from a phone. You might get the same result, but we won’t know until you attempt it.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•BK's new promotion is frozen water14·5 months agoNot uncommon to do during heat waves or summer events. Can be cheaper than buying it from a grocery store
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self hosted alternative to CalendlyEnglish11·5 months agoIt’s not a calendar, it’s an appointment scheduler
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•ServerPartsDeals Hardrive failure after 3 days? looking for advice,English3·6 months agoThis is the way. It’s always a risk buying used drives, and everything I’ve seen and heard about them has been good news so I expect OP getting a replacement should be pretty easy.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Least garbage printer manufacturer?English4·6 months agoI used to like Rossman, but over the years it just kinda seems like he’s fallen into a negativity spiral. What used to be educational just sounds spiteful a lot of the time now.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•MAGA pol who introduced bill on ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ arrestedEnglish7·6 months agoI’ve seen pol used a few times now as well. I’m guessing it’s just short for politician?
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•OpenAI Says It’s "Over" If It Can’t Steal All Your Copyrighted Work2·6 months agoThat’s the point. It’s established law so OP wouldn’t be sued
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•OpenAI Says It’s "Over" If It Can’t Steal All Your Copyrighted Work22·6 months agoEdited for clarity: If that were the case then Weird AL would be screwed.
Original: In that case Weird AL would be screwed
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me offEnglish43·7 months agoYou got a source for that?
One of the ways VPNs work is by having all your web traffic look like it’s coming from somewhere else, obscuring where you’re really from. They will see a different IP address than what yours actually is. If you were the only person doing this there would be no problem, but VPNs only have so many servers so companies often know what IP addresses those are. What they see is THOUSANDS of actions being taken by a single IP address, so of course it looks like bots! It makes total sense to have some verification to help against DDOS attacks and bad actors.
MrQuallzin@lemmy.worldto Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•CPU temperature is 72°C, how can I find why?11·7 months agoI built this rig ages ago, so definitely not that. I probably didn’t use enough when I upgraded my CPU last year so redoing it should fix it up
What you’re looking for is genealogy software. You’ve got me curious about this as well now, hadn’t thought about it before. I’m seeing some recommendations online for Gramps Web, don’t know if it’s a perfect fit but might be a good starting point.
