So you want to die in a burning boat‽ While some countries in Europe allow for assisted suicide, I don’t think any allow for self immolation while at sea.
Now if you’re looking for a viking funeral procession after your death, I would think environmental regulations would be the biggest hurdle.
Yeah, that was my second prescription. The first one was clobetasol propionate which you are only supposed to use two weeks on, two weeks off. It didn’t work very well.
Edit: for over the counter I use Eucerin eczema relief. I also have a jar of CeraVe, but I haven’t used that in a while. I only have to use them occasionally.
Go see a dermatologist.
A few years ago I would get patches on the back of my hand that would itch and have tiny blisters. They were persistent and over the counter ointments weren’t helping. Finally went to a dermatologist when they got unbearable. The first one I went to prescribed an ointment that sorta worked, but not that great. Ended up going to a second dermatologist when I found out the first one was an anti-vaxxer.
The second one was on top of his game. He straight up said the first ointment wasn’t a good one to use and prescribed something much better. It knocked out the spots and itchiness after a week or two. I’ve had a couple of minor flair ups since, but the ointment eliminates it pretty quick. Haven’t had any problems for at least a year.
If you can, go see a dermatologist.
That depends. Are you looking at preserving the music without loss of information? Then you need to use a lossless format like flac. Formats like aac, mp3, opus can throw away information you’re less likely to hear to achieve better compression ratios. Flac can’t, so it needs more storage space to preserve the exact waveform.
You can use a lossy format if you want. On most consumer level equipment, you probably won’t notice a difference. However, if you start to notice artifacting in songs, you’ll need to go back to the originals to re-rip and encode.
There’s talk on the Linux kernel mailing list. The same person made recent contributions there.
Andrew (and anyone else), please do not take this code right now.
Until the backdooring of upstream xz[1] is fully understood, we should not accept any code from Jia Tan, Lasse Collin, or any other folks associated with tukaani.org. It appears the domain, or at least credentials associated with Jia Tan, have been used to create an obfuscated ssh server backdoor via the xz upstream releases since at least 5.6.0. Without extensive analysis, we should not take any associated code. It may be worth doing some retrospective analysis of past contributions as well…
Potato masher then hand mix. I also have a ricer but 9 times out of 10 I don’t want to mess around with it.
I’ve never had gummy mashed potatoes, and I’ve been giving them a 1" chop for years. Takes 10 minutes to cook then drain them right away. They come out fine every time. Plus the butter melts right away when you throw everything together.
Electronics have to be designed for use in outer space. That includes hardening from radiation. Adding redundancy because there will be glitches and failures due to bit flips. Using components that can operate in a vacuum. There’s thermal considerations, both extreme heat and cold. You also need filters in the optics to protect the image sensor.
You can totally put a GoPro in space. It’s just not going to last very long before it fails.
This is what we are going to find out in the next three years. Someone could come up with a license, but we won’t know if it’s viable until it gets tested by the courts. There’s still debate on whether scraping from copyrighted works then using that data to train a LLM (or any other ML model) is an allowed use. Technically, that is transformative of the original works, but it uses vast numbers of copyright works. The New York Times is looking at suing OpenAI over this exact issue.
In any case, if you did come up with a license, you would also have to enforce it. With no clear legal precedents that would require filling suit against any violator.
Reminds me of VideoRedo. Cool niche little program that lets you slice video files quickly and losslessly. Then the main developer died. The other developer has kept the license server up, but he doesn’t own any of the copyrights. And the program was so niche it doesn’t generate much revenue for the work that has to go into it.
Okay, but jpeg xl is looking pretty good. Especially the ability to losslessly convert jpg to jxl.
He’s always been a maniac. People just started noticing after the Thailand cave incident.
Correct. There is no karma factor. There is a time factor that causes a post’s/comment’s rank to decay. The devs have documented their algorithm.
We haven’t learned anything new since June. The BlackCat ransomware group claimed responsibility for the hack. They didn’t expect Reddit to pay the ransom. So, like trifictional said, sold on the dark web is the most likely outcome. But there’s no public indication that’s happened yet. My best guess is they’re waiting for Reddit’s IPO to get closer to try and get a bigger payout for the data.
Reddit confirmed they were hacked back in February. TechCrunch and a few other publications covered it. So, I doubt Reddit is lying.
BlackCat claimed responsibility for the hack. They also didn’t expect Reddit to pay the ransom. Selling the data on the dark web is the most likely outcome. They want a payout after all.
Slightly sarcastic response: “What’s this federation thing? IDK but Facebook has it. I guess I don’t need to go anywhere. Thanks Zuck!”
My take is they see federated protocols as a threat, but they can’t compete directly with them. The next best thing they can do implement them to try and keep people in their walled garden. Even if it means punching some windows into those walls. However, they won’t implement the full protocol, only a subset. They may not even implement them correctly. Causing problems for anyone on the outside. Basically providing a support yet inferior experience for anyone still in the walled garden.
Those people will be none the wiser too. The average person doesn’t understand technology or protocols. As far as they know, they’re still be in Facebook.
There’s purge post/comment. I don’t know if there’s an easy way to go backwards and find what post a picture is associated with when that’s the only information you have.
Long ago I was searching for a new printer then the printer ads started following me to different places on the Internet. Places that should not have known I was searching for a printer. I decided I wasn’t going to have any of that and installed an ad blocker.
Not sure how effective that will be in future. Pretty sure ads as content written by AI is going to be the hot new thing. And by hot new thing I mean thing that can die in a fire.
Honestly, we really don’t know. mastondon.world and lemmy.world are run by donations and that’s worked so far. Ruud and his folks have been pretty upfront about their finances.
The general temperament I’ve gotten is people around here are opposed to a corporate like monetization. I agree with that. Usually, at least what I’ve observed, is that when a service monetizes it becomes enshitified.
We’ll find out eventually what happens.
OP said die and I’m going to take him at his word 😉
