Are you crazy? An exe could corrupt the registry, delete system32, format C:, or delete the MBR! They’re dangerous!

That would literally be a fascist move

Looking at the rules, there’s nothing explicitly wrong anyway. It would be silly if there were imo. Political discussion is part of politics, and equating political news articles with the whole of politics is inadvertently disingenuous. But I can be fairly pedantic sometimes.

I’m torn between “keep our girl’s name out your fucking mouth” and “hell yeah, badass, long live the queen”. Leaning toward the former tbh

I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.

Nearly irrelevant xkcd

At least in software we know where the linchpins are on some level.

Obviously there’s the overall juxtaposition, but I really like the proportional dampness.

Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.

Makes me wonder if it could be treated in some way to make it not-so-inhalable. Though maybe we have better synthetic alternatives by now.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.

Is this the genesis of British “humour”? Thomas, a Becket, even got the name in the time of Shakespeare.

Waiting for somebody to eviscerate me over British history, cause all I know is Monty Python.

I don’t know if blocking all interaction is possible or not. It can be confusing with federation. As far as I understand, instance blocking pertains to posts and not users. You won’t see posts from the instance, but other mutually federated posts can still have comments from the instance’s users.

I’m less clear on how user blocking works, but I imagine you wouldn’t see comments the comments at all in that case. They can still see and interact with your comments/posts (I think), you just won’t see it yourself. You’d probably have to block each user individually since I don’t think Lemmy has that functionality.

Wait, for real? I really thought kagi had its own thing going on, and that was why people would pay for it. Not like a fully bespoke index, but I assumed it was more than that. I guess the “quality control” is what I had heard about.

Being the change you want to see in the world. I like it.

4?? Also, the screenshot reminds me of hedgehog launch. Pulled it right out of the recesses of my memory.

I was like “but the other three are real words…”

Apparently diminutive is the only one that doesn’t trace its origin to the book. TIL! Funny how language works.

You nearly killed me with a damn meme. I can’t breathe lmao, jesits take the wheel

I wouldn’t say “the cloud” is exactly in the same realm. It’s broad and definitely had its heyday being thrown around in marketing, but it’s a very real facet in modern software. More specialized and actually useful AI will probably end up in a similar place eventually.

I think I’m talking myself out of my original point though lol. Kind of conflated LLMs and AI at first. I just wish LLMs weren’t the only things with money behind them.

Inhaling this so fast I end up with a Venn Diaphragm
