Legitimately could be a use case

“Attend this meeting for me. If anyone asks, claim that your camera and microphone aren’t working. After the meeting, condense the important information into one paragraph and email it to me.”

Instead of trying to provide resources on learning how to use Linux, it’s far better to insult people who don’t already know how.

Why does Linux have such a small desktop share again?

You’re not wrong. I would say they’re functional junk. They’re definitely cheap, but they got my prescription spot-on , and it took me like 4 months to notice the slight warping on the lens. If they weren’t all I can afford, I would buy from elsewhere, but they aren’t the worst thing I’ve had to compromise on for price. I wish my cheap junker car worked as well as these glasses.

Zenni as well here. Overall I’m happy. To answer your question: the website has a semi-functional “virtual try-on” that works well enough for checking the look of glasses. I only used to it gauge the size of them, because I have a big head.

Worth noting that if you have a strong prescription, you’re going to pay more wherever you buy them. I have a -4.5 cyl number, and the glasses I wear now cost around $100, despite the frames starting at like $25

But nobody is burning books, we’re just saying don’t be a piece of shit on our website. If you feel like being a piece of shit, https://boards.4chan.org/b/ is right here, perfectly safe and unburned.

And also that time you refused to finish a book series because it had a gay and a nonbinary character in it

Definitely do. Sometimes it’s the only way to know whether someone just had one bad take, or if they’re genuinely awful and not worth your time to reply to

I’m pretty sure I heard a story about an open source Minecraft hack client that was openly stealing discord authentication tokens, and nobody noticed for weeks because the only people who check the source code are people who plan on modifying it

Whatever you do, it’s important to support app developers. Definitely don’t manually set your DNS to dns.adguard.com on your phone, to block all ads in apps

Super don’t use 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15 as the primary and alternative addresses for systems that don’t accept URLs to DNS servers. You would block (some of) all the ads on any Internet connected device!

“What’s the best company to give control of my thermostat to?”

I’m extremely skeptical of medical diagnosis AIs. Without being able to explain why it comes to a conclusion, how do we know it won’t just accidentally find correlations? One example I heard of recently was an AI that was extremely good at detecting TB… based on the age of the machine that took the x-ray. Because it turns out places with older machines tend to be poorer, and poorer places tend to have more TB.

The only positive use I can think of is time saving measures. A researcher can feed a study to ChatGPT and have it write a rough first draft of the abstract. A Game Master could ask it for inspiration on the next few game sessions if they’re underprepared. An internet commenter could ask it for a third example of how it could save time.

But for anything serious, until it can explain why it comes to the conclusions it comes to, and can understand when a human says “no, you’re doing it wrong,” I can’t see it being a real force for good.

I think better communication about what federation is would help. I keep seeing folks say it’s like email, but that assumes the average person understands how email works.

We should start describing it as “like if Reddit, Digg, and Hacker News could see and comment on each other’s content”

+1 for ADB. Online tutorials are dead simple to follow. De-facebooking my phone and killing Bixby are the two things that made me decide not to trade this in for an old Razer Phone instead.

Absolutely adore the man. It’s worth watching the entire talk. I think it’s particularly fascinating how much effort he has to put into explaining the feeling of magnets repelling. It’s hard to say “magnets feel like magnets feel because that’s what magnets feel like” and make it a satisfying answer.

all the most up to date features and fixes

Genuinely, what features and fixes could a TV possibly get from the internet besides applications that require an internet connection? If you’re using an external device to watch your stuff, why would you need to update your TV?

Yup. My family bought me a new TV to replace the one I’ve been using for 15 years, and they keep telling me how great it is that I can get movies and TV shows for free, and I can sign in to all the streaming services right from my TV!

I don’t have the heart to tell them that I’ll die before this TV connects to anything other than an HDMI cord
