I still say 4chan was ahead of its time. No handles, just a big mix of unknowns.

They are from lemmynsfw.com which in practice is mostly only fans. I haven’t figured out how to block the instance.

I didn’t know that word.

Media bias fact checker? Heh. Does Lemmy still have that?

Al 3 sites you mentioned are working fine for me right now. Try isup.me to see if other people are having problems.

These days there is FT8, where the whole conversation follows a template (callsign, callsign, signal strength on a scale of 1 to 9, goodbye) and is just a few dozen characters long. It can be completely automated, so you can have one to one contacts with hundreds of total strangers in just a few hours, with your radio doing all the talking so you don’t have to show your vulnerable side. You can sleep or play tetris through the whole session, and then get a list afterwards showing the different countries where your radio has gotten to know people (or at least other radios). It is great for shy hams.

Do you mean the rhythm and dynamics, like Beethoven’s “da-da-da-DUM”? That removes the tune and there already weren’t lyrics. Or do you mean something longer range, like sonata form? Or just general mood? Or what?

Besides the privacy issue, the TOU is ridiculous. They supply a tool (the browser) and you use it. It’s not a collaboration between you and them. You can use it whatever way you want.

It says

Mozilla will collect light data on usage, such as how frequently people use the feature overall,

That says to me they want to know (among other things) how many browser users make zero use of the AI feature. To acquire that info, they have to collect it. You have to assume the worst when you see phrasing like that.

They use the term telemetry in a special way. If they are collecting info from users, that is telemetry under a different name, ok fine. Not collecting info means they receive 0 bits.

It says they’re going to collect usage data. Nothing about opting out.

So phone-home telemetry that you can’t opt out of. The ghost of Mitchell Baker will haunt us forever.

Look on fiio.com. At least in the past they made some no-wireless ones. 128gb wasn’t really a thing in the mp3-only era though. Cowon D2 is a great player but uses SDHC (32gb max) rather than SDXC. I don’t remember if it has FM.

Yes but it’s a dangerous process. You should use paramatrized queries instead.

It took Intel seven years to put those earlier machines into full production, which contributed to it losing its lead to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW), opens new tab. Intel struggled with the reliability of those previous EUV models in the initial stages of production.

Um no, that’s Intel trying to shift blame for its own botched 10nm process. Did that even use EUV? I kind of recall not.

It looks like worthwhile research but no, there won’t be a QPU to go with your GPU anytime soon.

Wait, if you have the old edition on your kindle, do they reach into your kindle and change what is there? Or do they just change the version in the store to the new edition, preferably with a new ISBN, if Kindles have ISBN’s?

I remember about the Roald Dahl thing and it seemed pretty clear which edition people would be getting. And some of this stuff (according to another internet poster I mean) may have been intended to keep the books in copyright longer rather than to merely mess with the content. Blyton died in 1968 so her stuff could enter the public domain in the next few decades otherwise. That’s nefarious too.

I remember for sure that Huckleberry Finn had the N word. Maybe little kids shouldn’t be reading it, I’m cool with that, though I read it as a kid myself. But grown-ups who do read it can deal with an unexpurgated version.
