When you calculate with pen and paper, you're right. With this calculator, you're goddamn right.

Wow I used to know this conspiracy lady who was into aliens and past lives who used to go ON about Opus Dei being the secret organization stealing kids and controlling the levers of power in the Church and world government. Maybe she was right all along. I just thought she had an active imagination!

I do occasionally find Lemmy in web search results. The platform is not that big (or old), but as long as it sticks around then eventually searchability will improve.

All of the moderation here is done by actual human beings who are (mostly) reasonable. If they make a mistake, you can just message them, and they'll fix it. No one is banned by an algorithm.

In reality, you can't actually be banned from lemmy, because it's a federated platform. You can only be banned from an instance.

Thanks, this looks like different reporting on the same story. That happens with major news, but I can understand why it may seem like excess if it's not a story you're interested in.

I don't totally understand how or when article image headers populate.

Sorry, I haven't seen it. If it's been posted here before, Send me the link to the previous post, and I'll take this one down. Even better, you can report the post, and the mods will investigate it.

Thank you!

Responding to Netanyahu's speech, the Israeli campaign group the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said "45 minutes of speech and applause won't erase the one sad fact: the words 'Deal Now!' were absent from the prime minister's address."

I especially love the image, which is both a literal and a figurative illustration of AI failure.

It's clearly meant to be an ouroborus made out of tech. The AI image generator left out the key trait - it's supposed to be eating itself.

i don't really have the technical knowledge to answer that, But I don't think that's how the Bing API works.

I used to browse through the latest apps on FDroid, but recently I've switched to using obtainium. There doesn't seem to be a web interface that really shows the new activity or popular apps. I'd also be interested to see what's happening outside of Android. How do you stay up on what's happening in FOSS?

Sorry but I can't think of another word for it right now. This is mostly just venting but also if anyone has a better way to do it I wouldn't hate to hear it.

I'm trying to set up a home server for all of our family photos. We're on our way to de-googling, and part of the impetus for the change is that our Google Drive is almost full.We have a few hundred gigs of photos between us. The problem with trying to download your data from Google is that it will only allow you to do so in a reasonable way through Google takeout. First you have to order it. Then you have to wait anywhere from a few hours to a day or two for Google to "prepare" the download. Then you have one week before the takeout "expires." That's one week to the minute from the time of the initial request.

I don't have some kind of fancy California internet, I just have normal home internet and there is just no way to download a 50gig (or 2 gig) file in one go - there are always intrruptions that require restarting the download. But if you try to download the files too many times, Google will give you another error and you have to start over and request a new takeout. Google doesn't let you download the entire archive either, you have to select each file part individually.

I can't tell you how many weeks it's been that I've tried to download all of the files before they expire, or google gives me another error.

A pretty interesting take, and an interesting discussion about what it means to be open source. Is there room for a trusted space between open source and closed corporate software?

The leader of a neo-Nazi extremist group based in eastern Europe has been charged with plotting to have an associate dress up as Santa Claus and hand out poisoned candy to Jewish children in New York City to sow terror, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Chkhikvishvili, who has various nicknames including Commander Butcher, allegedly leads the Maniac Murder Cult, which prosecutors said is an international extremist group that adheres to a “neo-Nazi accelerationist ideology and promotes violence and violent acts against racial minorities, the Jewish community and other groups it deems ‘undesirables.’ "
