And a large number of “fruits” aren’t even a fruit. We’re kinda bad at naming things sometimes

He should also be made to sell the house to a family and do something that actually contributes to society

Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing to not put it in a fruit salad.

same thing

I miss ads from the 60s-80s that were just a info-dump on the product with very little hype. You actually got to learn about what they were trying to sell you instead of a bunch of bullshit and a logo at the end.

US salaries in general are inflated and not entirely indicative of actual spending power. They have a lot more ancillary costs like healthcare and other insurances, not to mention a significant lack of public transport means most people also need to pay for a car and gas and whatnot.

Add to that the fact that they get fuck all for vacation time meaning if they want time off, it costs their salary for the missed days. I think when you weigh it all out, it balances pretty evenly, if not somewhat in France’s favour.

Just use their primary tax address in the country.

I get the feeling that things will simmer until October-ish, and if they get the hint that the vote might not go their way, things will start to happen very fast. A conservative will abandon democracy before their party.

If we’re gonna go non-credible-defense, why not add an airstrip to the roof of the data center, and it can manage it’s own protection!

can we make it a submarine data center?

They also pioneered some pretty cool tech to support their streaming.

Given that this is at least the second time his administration’s incompetence has caused a million deaths (Covid being the first), sounds like you’d get elected president rather than executed in the US.

Well, lack of initiation for one, I’m sure

You don’t get rich by selling something people only buy once…

That being said I have a Samsung oven that’s about 12 years old now and still works perfect aside from one element doesn’t trigger the “burner on” light, but the “hot surface” light still works, so I’m not overly concerned.

We just found and resurrected our Wii U, the kids play it more than the Switch now.

Fediverse doesn’t (as of yet) have a monetization path because of it’s “self hosted” structure - I put it in quotes because most people use large instances, but anyone can spin up their own and federate.

The big risk with this is that if it reaches a critical mass where advertisers see potential for profit, the mechanism that would be most convenient, especially with LLMs, is bots.

Say Toyota wants to promote their new car. They contract an advertising agency, who spins up a few dozen LLM agents trained on Lemmy data and instructions to talk up the latest new car. It might make posts, or just comments, but in all cases it will eventually promote that product.

All that for the cost of a few tokens, and the only giveaway would be the “AI phrasing”, if anyone catches it.

Fuckin words of fuckin wisdom, Lahey

OP is probably talking about the Rover Safety Bicycle, which is (at least) 135 years old. Modern bikes are effectively a refinement of that design.

Consider this, it’s evolved less than the modern car. You could get on an 1886 Safety and likely have no troubles riding it, maybe after a slight adjustment period with it being a fixed-wheel. That is not the case with (for example) a Model A Ford, or most other pre-WWII cars, up until stuff like the shifter, pedals and steering were standardized. Hell, up until a few decades ago, the horn was a button on the floor you’d push with your foot.

so did you

For my classes, anything that was graded was not done from the textbook it was either online questions or from a worksheet. Any work given from the textbook was just for our practice and not graded. They’d usually just call out sections of questions based on that day’s lesson.
