Be careful with old phone batteries if you’re going to leave it somewhere plugged in for months
I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

I don’t think you need to keep the naming structure the same as Reddit, especially if you don’t need to keep any official connection to the subreddit moderators and you disagree with how they ran things
If you’re looking for names, perhaps “sexual assault support”? Or just “sexual assault”, and ignore whatever went wrong with the subreddit
You can also link to related communities once you find ones that align with what you’re trying to do. For example, !mensliberation@lemmy.ca sounds related to what you have described

There is also no proof that fear motivated Musk to delete the posts. He never publicly explained why he removed them. Instead, he joked about the election results on X, writing, “Guess my election-interfering space lasers didn’t work this time.” He also made comments about building data centers in space, which remained on his account.
I’m not sure what the fear rumor is trying to get at. What would he be afraid of? This post makes it sound like he shared something incriminating and then deleted it
Hi @FiniteBanjo@feddit.online, would you mind editing this comment to point out that you are referring to African Americans? I think a chain of midunderstandings in this thread are causing people to think your comment was meant to be racist. Looking through your posting history, I don’t think that was your intent.
For anyone else that is coming across this thread, here is my interpretation of what happened:


an industry selling pattern recognition suddenly becomes so bad at recognizing one
I think they do recognize the pattern.
With trump, I genuinely don’t know if he understands that people don’t like him. With the big tech companies, I think they have a pretty good idea of how each individual person feels about these data centers.
Since the midterm elections have just passed, they don’t need to worry about how the average voter feels about them for another two years. However, they do need to convince their investors that everything is ok. Between the partial bubble pop in China, the crypto heist, Google’s stock drop, and now the republicans losing power, they’re spooked


While it depends on the region, some of them are paying for what they use. The problem is the sudden increase in demand causes the entire region to need capacity upgrades, and those costs are passed on to all users. Or if the region imports electricity, then the extra demand might cause it to be a more expensive purchase.
What’s wild is that in some places, the data centers get a discount at the expense of other users

Recent federal antitrust litigation against Duke Energy established that the company sought to shift costs of a discounted contract to its other ratepayers. Internal documents disclosed through litigation revealed that Duke could not compete for customers against a new, more cost-efficient power plant developer. Duke, however, offered one of its larger customers a new contract that amounted to a $325 million discount. Exploiting its monopoly authority, Duke “plan[ned] to shift the cost of the discount…back to its [other ratepayers] in years to come.”
My province switched to permanent DST this year, so we’re experiencing it for the first time and it’s… not that bad 🤷
I’m in Vancouver where it’s already cloudy, and some kids were already heading to school an hour early for various extracurriculars
IMO if kids going to school in the dark is really a problem, then it should be fixed by adjusting when school starts and ends rather than changing the clock for every single person. I like having more sunlight in the afternoon when I can make use of it, compared to in the morning when it’s used up by transit / getting ready for work and school.
However I wouldn’t mind it too much if we had switched to permanent standard time either. I’m just glad that we don’t have to change anymore.


Neat, I wonder if there are other form factors for the microwave one. This particular one might not work well for some dishes.
For the second tool, what kind of stuff have you used it for?

I got it to cut off itchy tags and frayed threads, etc, but you can also use it to slice open envelopes


I think some mobile apps get rid of the duplicates, although I’m not familiar with which ones do that. Unless someone else replies here, you could try posting to !lemmyapps@lemmy.world
Proton CEO:
then go on reddit and point it out to users
so go on there with your personal account and comment to set the record straight
Then the employee claims, for some reason
I’m breaking my silence


Have you tried a structured course for learning? I remember CodeAcademy being free ages ago, or say Odin Project for web development specifically
Some universities also release their courses online for free, on edx for example.
The article feels like an LLM helped write it, but it’s comprehensive nonetheless. I recently switched to bare llama.cpp since I have limited hardware capabilities and this squeezes a tiny bit more out of it. However, my usage is limited to learning / testing


I think you forgot to link the article. This one has the same title, but a different image on it


I thought this post was going to be about the “missionaries in your area”, as a reference to the “hot singles in your area” ads


It seems to differ on desktop vs mobile
Even then, it’s only useful when you are using a program that doesn’t need the keyboard, and only if you don’t need to use any other programs at the time.
For example, if you are in class and you want to take notes, a separate tablet works a lot better than folding the laptop.


That’s where my mind went, I was surprised with how “normal” it felt


I think the problem with a ban is that the creators of AI slop will stop disclosing or tagging it.
Allowing it with tags + letting users filter it out might be the best way to reduce it?
Yea I thought of that name because that’s the phrasing used by the organization at my former university, which I know has done good work. In case you find any helpful resources, their website is here: https://www.amssasc.ca/
I’m sure there are many other excellent organizations out there.
Yea that’s my bad, I haven’t kept up with that community since subscribing to it a few years ago. It looks like the discussion in that community has gotten less focussed and shifted towards discussing areas of controversy. I agree it’s not the kind of stuff you’d want for your community.
When I first subscribed to it, it was closer to what they still have in their sidebar:
All the more reason why your new communities will be helpful :)
