Oh my god, I just checked in mine's in there too!

Do you have the phrase "out of the frying pan and into the fire" in Europe?

Mildly approaching an actually useful AI in the stupidest way possible.

I don't need an AI shortcut in Excel that is just a chatbot. If it could actually perform complex redundant tasks, then it would be useful.

"Copilot, please create 3 charts of the most important data and create a Powerpoint with animations to present it."

Until it can do things like that, it's useless to me.

Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

You can actually see this in action. At sunrise or sunset, it is possible to look directly toward the sun. That's because more light is scattered at that angle and so it is less direct. At noon, the same sun will sear your eyes.

How is it that the "vaccines are fake, do your research" crowd never made it to "vitamins are fake, do your own research?" If they actually did their own research, they could realize that the second one is true.

Right now I'm primarily using Summit for mobile browsing, tesseract for moderation and on desktop.

As a kid reading this, I originally thought it was hyperbole.

This list was likely created by the secretive multi-millionaire Citizens Defending Freedom USA Foundation Inc, located at

590 NW 3rd St

Mulberry, FL 33860 USA

They've mostly stayed out of the news by training officially "unaffiliated" conservative ministers to carry out their dirty work, attempting to appear as a grassroots movement.

Hi, Mod here.

One of our community rules is to "be nice and have fun." It's okay to be passionate about lemmy, FOSS, federation, etc. It's okay to discuss the virtues of FOSS development, or share suggestions with devs. Actually, that's a big part of why this community exists! We hope that devs and users can have productive conversations that improve the lemmy experience for everyone.

It isn't okay to rag on developers or others in the community for their preferences or decisions.

I'm not sure if you were here a year or so ago, when this community in fact engaged in a pretty serious conversation about whether to exclude apps that are not FOSS. The consensus of the community was to include everything and let grown-ups make their own well-informed decisions.

There are lots of reasons why a developer may decide not to make an app open-source. It can take a lot of work for a solo dev to organize and clean up code for open publication, and for some people this is a hobby or labor of love and that is not work that interests them. Some may not want to share code that is in early development if it is messy or could reflect on them professionally in unknown ways. Some may have access to proprietary code that they have rights to use but not share from other projects they are working on. And on and on.

In this community, all are welcome, and if anyone is not interested in an app, then they are fortunate that there are many great options!

"Activist" is a bit grandiose. I might go with "far-right conspiracist and video prankster Laura Loomer"

Great! Another great way to get Android users is to publish releases on the github page a lot of Lemmy users will install directly if available or use a service like Obtainium that pulls directly from GitHub.

Cool, money is more important than freedom anyway./s

Thanks! I must have missed that one.

The rules of the !News community are enforced with the best consistency we can manage. I do not make moderation decisions based on my personal beliefs, but the beauty of federation is that there are many news communities to follow and contribute to if you don't approve of moderation decisions.

I have never defended torture of any kind, but feel free to link any comments that I have made if you need clarification.

Lastly, if someone who often supports Israel says this is particularly bad, what does that tell you?

If it is open source and on-device (for personal recommendations) then I see it as a great thing.

Lemmy has demonstrated that it can really work. Quiblr even has personalized recommendations on-device (not open source though and it's now open source).

Mastodon and others should take note.

Surprising that Texas is not on the list.

I assume it's a technicality.

This is a particularly disturbing escalation of rhetoric. For those who don't know, these types of statements have until now come from far-right leaders propping up the government. This is from Netanyahu's own party, which he controls with pretty much total authority.

Not a timelapse, but still pretty adorable.
