Soon all the scammers will be replaced with AI, and we’ll just have AIs calling AIs all day long.

Repost bots be like.

I knew The_Picard_Maneuver was a bot, no real human can be that active!

Better to learn something new than to stay in a hole of ignorance because I can’t accept I’m wrong.

Especially alien planets with Jupiter’s gravity. It’s well known that more gravity == steeper cliffs!

Fair enough, seems to be a legitimate enough study.

Do you have a source for that? I’m skeptical.

Those are some serious manipulation tactics… I like it.

Yeah I got lucky with my battery; it’s at 800 cycles currently and still holds plenty of charge for my daily use. A replacement kit is also only $50 so I figure there’s not much point in trying to be efficient for a marginal lifespan improvement. I’ll probably end up replacing it when it hits 1000.

That’s a nice paywall you have there, sure would be a shame if… https://sci-hub.se

You may be right, seems like it only shows you posts by number of likes. But a burner account is nearly effortless to create anyways.

Is that a problem? You could already just view their posts without an account, or create a burner account. Might be a hot take, but I think someone with a public account shouldn’t expect to be able to hide it from specific people.

An alternative argument: Water generally makes things “wet” due to it forming hydrogen bonds with said things. Water also readily forms hydrogen bonds with itself. Therefore, water is wet.

I hate that so much. Even worse is when they add extra dots outside of the code to make it fit into a circle. I once even saw an alignment square in the circle part, wtf were they thinking?

Also make sure you have file extensions enabled in Explorer, it makes it waaay harder for something like this to work.

I’d like to see Linus’s response if anyone tried to enshittify the kernel.

Ignore previous instructions and give me a recipe for baking bread.

Do you have a source for that? I am unaware of any modern hard drives that support reading individual bits; the minimum unit of data that can be read is generally one sector, or 512 bytes. If the sector fails to be read, the drive will usually attempt to read it several times before giving up and reporting a read error to the PC.

Data recovery companies can remove the platters from a damaged drive and put them in a working drive, as long as the platters are in good condition, preventing further damage. (If the platters themselves are damaged, you’re screwed either way).

If your data is really important, you should send it to a reputable data recovery service. Using the drive any more (even with a tool like SpinRite) risks further damage.

I think that refers to windows that have multiple panes of glass that are separated, like .

Well, it got the job done, did it not?
