jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Poetry@lemmy.world•Unknown second grade kid somewhere, "Mammoths and Ants"16·17 days agoI copied so many short pieces as a child. OC is possible I suppose but there is a simpler explanation.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•California man ordered to leave the U.S. ‘immediately’ despite providing birth certificate: ‘I’m not trying to be one of the government’s mistakes’13·21 days agoFailing to provide the name of the person in the body of the email is incomptetence.
Fox included the disclaimer about contact email… but IMO the person who built the mail merge was incompetent and that will not prevent ICE from coming after Aldo.
jdnewmil@lemmy.catoCrappy Correlations@lemm.ee•The name Thomas correlates with motor vehicle thefts in MaineEnglish7·21 days agoThis is the kind of overfitting our machine-learning overlords will find as we operate the data centers with more fossil fuels. Amazing! /s
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for yearsEnglish1·21 days agoStick with Windows. Microft will deliver paradigm shifts and you will have no say in the matter. They are already removing options for disabling Copilot, and for all the promised backward compatibility they are letting go of features that lots of old Windows software depended on, as they introduce features similar to ones in Linux. I cannot really fault them for all of these changes, but the difference is actually one of choice and privacy, and not really the one you seem to think it is.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Relationship Advice@lemmy.world•My abuelo doesn’t understand my mental health, friend defends himEnglish2·24 days agoWhen the choice is getting on with life or starving to death, you tend to become focused on the basics. Whether this is an improvement may be debatable (sublimation?), but sometimes life is harsh. Grandpa might have faced similar mental problems when he was young, and had no choice but to ignore them and may simply perceive that problem differently.
I, too, am not a spring chicken, so add whatever salt you like to this description. But I do think that there are a lot of hungry people around the world willing to ignore their own troubles and steal your lucky spot regardless of your mental state.
The cheeto thinks he can build walls to keep those hungry people at bay… but rather than letting them migrate to start at the bottom in the land of opportunity I think his approach is just going to end up with all of us doing more dirty work on our respective sides of the walls… possibly much sooner than we would like. Beware you don’t end up out-competed in the rat race while you grapple with your internal demons.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato[Dormant] moved to !space@mander.xyz@lemmy.world•Plasma falling to the surface of the sun.2·1 month agoWhen they sense invisible electromagnetic wavelengths like xrays or microwaves and “assign” colors to completely invisible wavelengths then that is false color imaging. Possible to do with the sun… but unlikely with an amateur rig.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato[Dormant] moved to !space@mander.xyz@lemmy.world•Plasma falling to the surface of the sun.12·1 month agoNot OP, but solar photography requires super dense filters so like sunglasses alter what you see from “actual” the filters also alter the image from “actual” yet this is what would “actually” be “seen” by the camera. So yes and no depending how you want to interpret “actual”.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Apple@lemmy.zip•Trump believes iPhones can be made in the US, says White House9·1 month agoTrump is the expert. I am sure he knows what he is talking about. /s
so the mouse is not married?
jdnewmil@lemmy.catoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Trump portrait artist says career is in peril after president accuses her of distorting his likeness6·1 month agoThis has always been a risk for artists working for powerful people. It doesn’t necessarily end well for the artist.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Microsoft@lemmy.world•Microsoft accidentally wipes out Copilot in latest Windows 11 updateEnglish3·2 months agoNext will be an update to re-install it, but re-enabled (having forgotten that it was disabled before…)
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Duolingo@lemmy.world•Is there any way to delete an exercise from my list?1·2 months agoIf you are saying it wrong and it correctly identifies that, that could have value. But if you are saying it right and it incorrectly concludes that you are wrong, that delays your improvement.
But I wouldn’t mind hearing about strategies for getting accurate feedback from the voice recognition from people who do use it.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Duolingo@lemmy.world•Is there any way to delete an exercise from my list?3·2 months agoI always skip the speech recognition exercises. I am not convinced that the recognition is reliable.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Global News@lemmy.zip•Russian politician honestly explains the goals of the Ukraine war, admits any peace deal will only be temporary2·3 months agoNot at all. Trump is impervious to evidence.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of AmericaEnglish4·3 months agoMaybe if enough people file feedback on the name change they will reconsider. At least they will have a glut of feedback to deal with.
jdnewmil@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand6·3 months agoAs you add more compute per user interaction (“smart” features), you increase power consumption. To keep an 18hour discharge cycle, you have to have more battery. Since phone thickness is a negative marketing feature but increased screen size is a positive marketing feature, you end up with bigger phones.
Every time they reduce compute power consumption, feature inflation overtakes the gain and more power is needed over time. Try turning on battery saver in the morning… even with “normal” use the battery will last significantly longer due to disabling background power consumption.
“Email clients?” … boom! ;)
