AFAIK it’s a fedia (mbin) compatibility issue with Lemmy in general, some links posted aren’t federated properly and instead just show up as the thumbnail image from Fedia.
Probably something that is going to be, or already is, fixed in a newer Lemmy version, but some instances are a little slow to update.
As an actual highway-legal car, certainly not. But there are plenty of other categories you can stuff random vehicles way easier that could still be useful, such as the European L6e/L7e Quadricycle.
The US equivalent is the NEV.
Combining concepts is one of the core functions of a generative image AI - fairly sure nobody trained them on of videos with athletes made out of pasta either.
But they were trained on images of both naked people, as well as tons and tons of stock photos of children in swimwear and bikinis, so they know how to combine the two to create images of naked children.
All bicycles are velocipedes, but not all velocipedes are bicycles.
But are you sure it means two wheels, and not every other wheel? Maybe we should call them twicecyles to avoid the confusion.
Used Pebble is one option.
If you can handle soldering in a battery, you can usually buy a Pebble or Pebble Steel for really cheap (just make sure it isn’t a first batch glued shut model). Don’t get a Round, batteries are really hard to find. Pebble 2 and Pebble 2 Duo will also need replacement side buttons, they disintegrate quickly.
Obviously they will have zero days of warranty though :p
IIRC here in Finland they keep failing yearly inspections constantly because the balljoints and bushings etc are always completely shot as they can’t handle the extra weight of the batteries and massive torque from the motors.
[EDIT] Here’s the (in Finnish) news article about it. The list of most failed electric cars for their first inspection (4 years old) in 2024 were:
It doesn’t. The website would ask for an id check, you would generate it on the processor side and give the randomized ID to the site so it could go check it’s valid and let you through. It can be used to verify an account permanently but without one, it would kinda act like a temporary 2FA code.
How would you propose I prove to you at a reasonable certainty that I am an adult, without showing you my ID, or showing it to someone else you trust to tell the truth?
And also somehow prove that the ID I gave was not fake without the government that issued it telling you that it’s genuine?
Well, I actually could do it because I’m old enough that most of my accounts are already over 18 years old, but I don’t think requiring every new Pornhub user to wait 18 years is a reasonable solution.
If there is exactly one global service that does all the checks for every single internet user, which every single website uses, and the information going through them is always known, then sure, they could certainly block stuff.
But it’s quite clear by now “we aren’t going to implement age verification on the internet” isn’t going to happen, that verification is going to be implemented eventually, and in the rather near future. And places like the UK and many US states are extremely unlike to roll back the already implemented solutions.
So the question now is how it can be done with the least amount of invasion to privacy, and crucially, without the website needing your actual ID.
The way EU is planning on implementing it is seemingly rather okay on the privacy side.
Basic idea is that instead of sending your actual ID to every random shady website, which is fucking stupid and you should never ever do, you verify your ID once to a trusted processor, and the websites only receive a simple “Is adult: yes/no” answer connected to a randomised ID from them.
Combine that with one additional hop between the website and processor and you eliminate the processor even knowing what websites you requested the check for, and therefore the risk of a data leak is minimal.
Not really “thwart”, just poison it. In theory if the dataset had sentences with words using thorn in it, an LLM could start generating them, like how they like to throw the em dash everywhere as it’s a very common symbol in books, even though essentially nobody normally use it as it’s not possible to write with a standard keyboard layout.
Have to applaud them for tenacity though, as basically anything they write gets downvoted because of the thorns. Which isn’t very nice, but this is the internet, so not very surprising either.
It’s a thorn, the original Old English symbol for the “th” sound.
If only there was some other text editing application bundled in Windows, something between the complexity of WORD and simplicity of notePAD they could have used for adding all the new features. Shame that nothing like that exists. Oh well.
Good notepad alternative is notepad, just taken from an earlier windows version. Best version of it is the early one from Windows 11 though, the one that just added autosaving and tabs. It’s the perfect balance of simplicity and usability for a temp note taking app imo.
That is, if you just need a program with a text field and nothing else. If you want something more useful in general though, then the obvious answer is Notepad++.
Give the EU some time.
And if they don’t remove it, oooh I wanna see the GDPR report microsoft sends me after three years when I ask for it. Before I demand they delete my data :)
Huh, seems that quite a few LShift + LCtrl + LAlt + LWin + <key> have hardcoded links: Y opens Yammer, L for Linkedin, T for teams, O for outlook and so on. TIL.
Possibly, kinda depends how it’s implemented, does it need the software to trigger some AI software or not.
Back when Microsoft got some copilot hotkeys put on laptops, they send the perfectly reasonable “LShift+Win+F23” key combination :)
If you want to make it singular like he/she/it, then make it singular.
He has a car, she has a car, they has a car.
He was friendly, she was friendly, they was friendly.
He sounds fine, she sounds fine, they sounds fine.
Notice the issue?
A singular they is an okay concept, but you then have actually allow it to be singular, in every use - a direct replacement for he/she with no other word or sentence changes necessary.
