For all the people reading the headline and not the article, toilet-maker Toto uses its ceramics expertise to supply products used in silicon wafer production. They’ve been in the industry since the 1980s but with the AI boom non-toilet manufacturing has become over 40% of their operating income.
I feel like this should go to some of the programming communities also, but I’m not a programmer so I don’t know where
IIRC when it was implemented in the first place, it seemed like lemmy.world had actually been contacted by some stakeholder with a DMCA-style request, even though the community was not actually originating on lemmy.world. Explaining how federation worked to lawyers didn’t matter much and with .world at the time becoming one of the larger and more visible instances that seemed like the best way to avoid the headaches. Initially they defederated with dbzer0 entirely before developing a way to block just the community.
Despite an internal investigation that exonerated McClain, Worden continued to promote the false claims to news outlets and hired a media consultant to amplify them. She also publicly released her former spouse’s personal information.
Huh, I wonder why there were problems in that marriage?
Alexander Mikushin, a priest at the Pokrovsky Cathedral in the city of Barnaul, said Russians should “ask God” to bring “wisdom” to officials at Roskomnadzor who approved the decision to block the service. Mikushin described Telegram as more than a communication tool, calling it a space “for prayer, heartfelt conversation, and helping one’s neighbor.”

Someone posted about a read-only Linux client they made that looked like it came straight out of Windows 7/Vista. It was probably at least a year ago and I’m not finding it so far.
For all the breathless enthusiasm from the author, I feel like he’s overselling a lot of the impacts:
For Chief Technology Officers and IT procurement managers, the viability of Linux on Apple Silicon introduces a complex variable. Historically, engineering teams demanding Linux were relegated to Dell XPS or Lenovo ThinkPad units, which, while capable, often trail Apple in battery efficiency and thermal management. If the M3 becomes a first-class citizen in the Linux ecosystem, organizations may face increased pressure to support Apple hardware for backend engineers and DevOps professionals who require native Linux environments rather than virtualization.
Corporate purchases typically purchase new products either direct from the manufacturer or from the authorized resale channel. The M3 was introduced over two years ago and the only products I see Apple still selling with the M3 architecture are the Mac Studio (M3 Ultra) and iPad Air (M3). So any IT manager looking to procure a MacBook for an employee would need to find new old stock still in resale channel inventory or purchase a second-hand device, all for something that the article admits is still in an alpha stage of usefulness.
The progress the Asahi project is making on Apple Silicon is fantastic and important, but I think it will primarily benefit private individuals, not businesses. Perhaps in the future as the developers become more adept at reverse engineering hardware and if Apple makes fewer changes between generations then Linux could start supporting active Apple products, but it’s not there yet.
With Apple putting M-series chips in iPads and Linux gaining support for those chips, I’ll be very curious to see if we start seeing more Linux tablet support for iPads.
Unfortunately I’m about 13° latitude farther south, so it’s much harder to see them normally
I really hope to see them sometime. Whenever we’re in Quebec and there’s a good geomagnetic storm the weather is cloudy.
The best option is to look at the manufacturer for your phone. They should have instructions for your model. These iPhone instructions are a good general guide, but there might be specific recommendations for whatever model you’re cleaning.
Is this strictly Lemmy or does it include related platforms like PieFed and Mbin? Because it seems like there has been some shift to PieFed
In Scotland, although marriage was formed by simple consent and required no formalities or consummation, the bedding rituals were widespread but unstructured; a couple simply wanted someone to see them in bed together. A couple could also be pressured into marriage in this way: a person stumbling upon an unmarried couple in bed could pronounce them man and wife on the spot.
Man, is there anything IKEA doesn’t sell?
The statement is probably true, but the only quote in the article that mentions “slop” doesn’t really support the headline’s claim:
”We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella laments, emphasizing hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as “cognitive amplifier tools.” ”…and develop a new equilibrium in terms of our “theory of the mind” that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other.”
The article makes a lot of solid points about the AI hype bubble that Nadella is promoting in his year-end LinkedIn post, but it doesn’t seem like he was actually calling for people to stop using the term “slop.”
I remember a TV station I worked at, that had a lot of good redundancies with 3 redundant UPSs that could keep a bunch of equipment on air until the big generator took over, one day had the UPS controller die and took all 3 UPSs out. I think it took the engineers a couple days to get everything back up and running.
They can look a little odd on Lemmy, but not crazy. I don’t know how they look on PieFed, Mbin, Friendica, etc. Lemmy doesn’t use hashtags so having a lot of them looks odd, but I think PieFed and the others support them so they might work better there.
I don’t see Mastodon-originated posts often, mostly on the photography groups. They haven’t been a problem there. I don’t know how it works to get posts from a Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin community in Mastodon, so I don’t know if you get the full experience that way. You might get more by creating an account in one of the other services. But that’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you usually can access the content in the way that works best for you.
It’s other passengers alleging she was actually already dead
I know it varies from state to state, but where I’ve lived it’s an “elective” in that you got to pick which language to take of the available options (some schools might only have two choices, others four or even five), but taking a certain number of foreign language credits was required for graduation. If you wanted to go beyond the minimum and had room in your schedule you could.
