I'm on my 4th instance. Dropped my first be cause of old Lemmy's autorefreshand other issues. 2 and 3 died as maintainers went away. I had to start over from zero again each time

I hate infinite scroll. That said, it's just fancy pagination and if the host' API supports pagination, whatever frontend should be able to implement that

I'm a childless dude in his 40s and I tick several if you replace "kids" with other family/coworkers/etc.

AFAIK, once you qualify for Social Security, you get it even if you stop being a citizen. I looked into it at some point as I plan to renounce once my parents pass (I already live overseas)

right-click and see where a menu opens.

My company uses copilot for code reviews. They encourage at least trying a number of other tools but do not require it. Some of our product does use LLMs for various things, though I don't personally work on those.

I do worry about the environmental impacts and ethical concerns around training data (especially pirated data used with neither consent nor compensation) so I don't use anything personally (aside from where some company has shoved it in somewhere).

I think that local models trained ethically can have a number of uses such as classification, data cleanup, and perhaps even checking code for security issues and exploits (I'm not sure if local models can do that yet or well).

There's a certain nostalgia for me. I watch some on youtube every now and again just to be reminded of the fashion and even just things I had that I've forgotten about.

Not in the most important parts, heh

More or less. Nothing electronic in me yet... that I know of.

100%. I recently had to use a fork somewhere and it felt so unwieldy.

I live in Japan and can't be drafted as a non-citizen. Living here, I'm not sure what either of my citizenship countries could do to actually draft me. Also in my mid-40s, colorblind, and with several parts of me held together by screws and plates, so I'm not exactly at the top of any list.

 

Hello! I just got an SDR and decided to start listening. As a teen, I bought a scanner from someone and used to fall asleep listening to all the various different conversations. I decided I should probably start again and get my license (for which I am studying).

The SDR I got is "RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO HF Bias Tee SMA Software Defined Radio with Dipole Antenna Kit " and I'm able to pick up some things (various shortwave, FM, AM, nearest airport, etc.), however I can't seem to get the IBP beacon nearest me. This could be in part due to literal mountains between us, I suppose (Japan problems), but I hear no beacons on any of the listed frequencies.

I am using the di-pole antenna included in the kit, fully extended, attached to the east side of my house (about 3km away from the pacific, but I have mountains west and some taller hills north and south). "2x 23cm to 1 m telescopic antennas." is what it says so I suppose It's a bit over 2m tip-to-tip oriented vertically.

Should I be able to receive any of the IBP beacons with my antenna, position, and orientation? Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'm happy to go fish if you point me in the right direction, but my searching hasn't turned up anything useful so far (probably user error in that I don't know exactly what to search for).

Thanks very much!
