About time. 8GB is unacceptable for all but the lightest common use cases.

My wife put one in her purse about 10 years ago. Since then, I’m sure we have removed five or six of these bars. It seems to be a permanent purse fixture, eternally at the bottom of the bag.

Yep, probably not. I’d prefer AI so much to our CEOs.

Long live Gaben.

Maybe he can pass it to an AI configured to uphold his ideals from beyond the grave?

I don’t think that’s what it says. Why include the medical records in the statement if we are meant to rely on the doctor’s belief at the time based on the information that was available? Shouldn’t it be enough to trust the expert? It rather looks like making sure there’s documentation for possible criminal prosecution (for murder!) if they’re wrong.

Sure, I can accept there’s a theory of exceptions, but I think it’s liable to scare away providers. However, I suppose I’m not a medical expert. I can point to the well lack of care situation as my example of this concern and the chilling effect the law has on providers doing their jobs.

What happens if they thought it was an emergency but other physicians might not agree, or after the fact when more information is available it turns out not to be?

So what happens is you wait and wait until your patient is going to die without a doubt… because you have to be sure, thus putting their life at risk.

Emergencies are often not so easy to characterize in the real world. Sometimes you have to make assumptions. Those assumptions aren’t always correct.

It’s designed to be legal minefield. If I were a doctor I certainly wouldn’t do one. I don’t want to go to prison or be accused of murder for saving somebody’s life. It’s not worth it.

Paradox of tolerance. They aren’t welcome because they tend not to play nice with others.

I feel genuinely bad for the non-facist conservatives, but today they’d be called leftist too, so I think it’s still fair to say it really shouldn’t be welcome anywhere because the term has become very extreme.

As far as I am aware, only the living have a problem with the grave robbing.

I don’t actually hate this phenomenon. In a way, it encourages more conversation because your individual comments are more likely to be seen and responded to by a human instead of having a few popular comments dominate the discussion. It also limits the reach of a power-tripping mod.

Very strange because the shoe fits. Most Linux users are masochists in some way. They actually enjoy understanding and configuring their software.

I have an account over there and it just feels like things are being pumped up for the sake of pumping things up. I have a hard time accepting that this is sustainable for them.

I haven’t had a good conversation on Reddit in years. Lemmy? Basically every day I see a thoughtful response from what feels like an actual human. It may not have the users but it definitely has the soul.

I’ve been lurking that platform for over a decade and the quality has definitely gone downhill. The interactions with users are extremely inauthentic to the point where I suspect a large proportion of users aren’t even real people.

Reddit‘s business model is selling advertising views. I doubt it matters to them whether those views come from real people or machines.

The second aspect of their business model is selling content to train AI, which is basically free money these days from AI zealots, but the data quality is garbage.

Both of these revenue streams will dry up without a long-term sustainability plan i.e. an actually good website. And even if I’m wrong, hey, I’m happy here. Their success does not diminish my happiness.

They will train their bots on my shitposts!

I think it’s the best at what it does. That problem space doesn’t have a lot of good options.

Just try it and see how your new cyborg hand DRM prevents unauthorized body modifications.

Also, scientists are already at work finding ways to inject advertisements directly into your brain.

In the future you’ll pay $900/mo to stare at a blank page.

And you’ll have to because all the free sites are entirely ads.

I think it’s mainly marketing and consumer expectations. Your phone is smaller, so it feels like it should have a smaller adapter to be more convenient. It takes less convincing for a large adapter when you’re already carrying around a laptop in a bag.

Part of it is also history. It used to be that you needed much higher power dissipation so your adapter needs to be physically larger for a laptop to shed that heat, but nowadays laptops are more efficient and phones draw more power than they used to. Still, the idea that a phone charger should be smaller still feels right to the consumer, and much effort has been expended to ensure that they are small to accommodate consumer expectations.

What happened to he is happening now to you.

Thanks for the reminder! I just revoked some default location permissions to apps that really have no business knowing that information.
