The article seems to repeat the same stuff over and over again.

On Lemmy, a popular social networking site, user KerfuffleV2 astutely noted that the article repeated points that had already been stated in the article.

“It seems like the article repeated the same content multiple times” said KerfuffleV2, a user on the social networking site Lemmy. “Perhaps they get paid by the word.” the user added.

A rather uncreative article on thestreet.com triggered some snarky online comments including one from a user named KerfuffleV2. This user noted that the article repeated the same content multiple times.

Can you provide an example where science cannot explain a situation, because I can’t honestly think of any.

Not OP, but there is some stuff. One big example is qualia. How does matter give rise to actual feelings, experiences of things? This isn’t something we can measure directly and it actually seems like it won’t be something we ever can measure. Might also be able to use something like “what was there before the big bang?” and that kind of thing.

Of course, the fact that science can’t explain something doesn’t really justify falling back on magic as an explanation though. Some stuff just may not have an answer.

Pretty sure it’s mainly non-furry non-gay hackers that take down the majority of websites.

One thing is the pace is very, very consistent. Real humans don’t usually maintain that level of consistency, they’ll speed up, slow down, some words come out fast, some come out slow, etc.

Maybe I misunderstood you but my point was if it interpreted the language preferences I set in the normal config as “knowing” the languages I added and didn’t offer translations, that wouldn’t necessarily be what I want.

The languages I might want to see aren’t necessarily the ones I know. People who are learning languages might set that (I did for the language I’m learning, anyway).

I’m sure there’s a way to disable it, even if you have to go into about:config

The timing and similarity highly suggests this is a problem with how almost all software has implemented the webp standard in its image processing software.

Did you read the article or the post? The point was that both places where the vulnerability was found probably used libwepb. So it’s not that there’s something inherently vulnerable in handling webp, just that they both used the same library which had a vulnerability. (Presumably the article was a little vague about the Apple side because the source wasn’t open/available.)

given that the programs processing images often have escalated privileges.

What? That sounds like a really strange thing to say. I guess one could argue it’s technically true because browsers can be considered “a program that processes images” and a browser component can end up in stuff with escalated privileges. That’s kind of a special case though and in general there’s no reason for the vast majority of programs that process images to have special privileges.

“This time you’re going to love Cortana. For reals!”

Feet are like hands we walk on. Right? Complete with a thumb and all!

People that love to read only the title. What could be better than a bunch of titles in a row?

It’s a briefcase full of cash.

I’m pretty sure you could just say “It’s tax free” or even double the amount to $2 million and it wouldn’t really change which people would do it and which wouldn’t.

I’d do it, as long as I was really convinced that the only danger was mental, not physical.

You probably ate or drank other stuff with water. The other person didn’t mean “water” specifically, just some means of hydration.

They deliberately do that in some public toilets to discourage people from hooking up in there.

It’s actually not that hard to start having them pretty frequently. I always had that same problem though: I’d realize I was dreaming, say “Wow, I’m actually dreaming and aware of it. This is amaz-” and wake up. There are supposedly tricks you can use to prevent yourself from waking up like spinning around, but it didn’t seem to help even when I remembered to try in the dream.

You can make them more frequent by just thinking to yourself “Am I dreaming?” and checking if you are a bunch of times a day. 5-6 is probably enough. Keep that up for a few weeks and you’ll probably start having frequent lucid dreams. I read that lucid dreams aren’t really that restful compared to normal sleep though, so don’t try to induce them unless you can spare the sleep time.

You can wing it with baking, at least for some types of stuff. Oatmeal raisin cookies don’t really take precision, as an example.

Ahh, I hate Snap so much. It actually what drove me to switch to Arch (btw). It was just so annoying going to install something and having it try to pull in snap and all its dependencies… And of course, if you don’t want Snap you have to deal with the inconvenience of finding another way to install the app.

There are reasons to dislike Snap on principle and also very practical reasons. It liked randomly preventing the system from shutting down. Installing a new OS on a slow or unreliable internet connection and want a browser? How about we install Snap and then tell to download that thing and maybe a bunch of random internal dependencies with no visible progress and unreliable error handling? Get it away from me.

“They found that in a community of 15,000 electric cars only 1.5 percent of batteries have been replaced if you exclude massive recalls […] The team also points out that most battery replacements happen when the car is still covered by a warranty.”

I’m not sure looking at the stats like that is really all that useful.

There are two situations where the battery replacement happens:

1. The user forks over the money to replace it personally.
2. They manage to convince the manufacturer to cover the cost.

It’s definitely not a given that everyone who wants to replace their battery can and does. This post is about longevity, so presumably most of the time in that situation the person will have to cover the cost of replacement themselves.

I want to be clear, I’m not arguing against EVs. I’m just saying this article doesn’t really have enough information to draw a conclusion.

Letting them know what mankind is all about seems like a terrible idea. We’re jerks.

If I got vored, promptly being upvored seems like the best case scenario.
