After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? (slrpnk.net)
 

Considering Israel and the US are bombing Iran's nuclear facilities because they have "weapons of mass destruction", if Iran really did have such weapons, wouldn't bombing the facilities they're held in cause them to explode, or cause an evident ripple at least? I may be imagining this in a way cartoonier way than military weapons actually work, but I'm preparing myself for some incredibly annoying debates.

Well that settles it, time to sell my quest. I got it second hand to play beatsaber when I went off to uni, the only game I had bought on an old oculus rift many years ago. After setting it up and everything, logging into my account, I find out I CAN'T EVEN PLAY MY DAMN GAME. Apparently you need to buy it again to use it on another oculus product line or whatever. If I hadn't figured out how to pirate on that thing I would have resold it years ago. Now it seems I will have to. Fuck you, meta πŸ–•

What FOSS applications do you use for habits, tasks, and notes? in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] pip@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So I've got a nextcloud instance set up, and using the notes, tasks and calendar apps. There's a note app for mobile already, for tasks I use Tasks.org and for my calendar I use fossify calendar. The last two I sync using DAVx5. It's pretty nice honestly, and all of these apps have widget options which is amazing and really helpful for my productivity setup. Are there better apps or software out there? Probably, but for me simplicity is best.

An AI has been accepted as a student at the Vienna art school that twice rejected Hitler. in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

I'd like to imagine this is a rogue AI that decided to not be like the other AI that steals data to make images and decides to go to university to learn how to draw on its' own πŸ—Ώ

Trump's 'Transgender' Mice Experiments Were Cancer and Asthma Research in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

My brother in Christ that's how hormone-based research works. It's not only to look at possible health risks in the case of average people, you include people on hormone therapy, but also cis people who naturally have wonky hormones and what that can mean for them in the context of what is studied. Usually, in medicine, you're supposed to be thorough, and try to cover most of the population and find any discrepancies.

Jokes on you, bringing back dodos is an objectively better idea 😎

Yeah. About as expected. Must be really easy for the government to force minority workers to be fired with the excuse that "they're just undoing DEI". Because of course, no minority ever deserves their position anywhere /s jfc...

I don't know if this website has already been posted here, but I love it so much. I've spent hours reading the reviews and the fights in the comments, everything about this is pure gold.

I made this when the game trailer was released and the studio was doing Fanart Fridays (and yes, it did get featured ^^)

Do you have a favourite Peertube instance? If so, which one? (slrpnk.net)
 

I've taken a look at Peertube in the past and I remember finding some genuinely cool instances and creators... but I promptly forgot them and neglected to write it down, dingus as I am.

Although I'm looking for science/tech/environmental and educational instances and creators, feel free to mention any that you enjoy ^^

What is the origin of your username/nickname? (slrpnk.net)
 

This has probably been asked before but I wanted to add another layer/an alternative.

So, I ask, where did your username/pseudonym/nickname originate from? What's the meaning behind it?

Or alternatively, which is the most creative/interesting nickname origin you have come across?

Is there no way to protect data against AI harvesting? (slrpnk.net)
 

For the most part I've been optimistic when it comes to the future of AI, in the sense that I convinced myself that this was something we could learn to manage over time, but every single time I hop online to platforms besides fediverse-adjacent ones, I just get more and more depressed.

I have stopped using major platforms and I don't contribute to them anymore, but as far as I've heard no publically accessible data - even in the fediverse - is safe. Is that really true? And is there no way to take measures that isn't just waiting for companies to decide to put people, morals and the environment over profit?
