Not all vaccines, but some, yeah.

One issue with that is visibility. Showing up in an open Fediverse feed is likely how other women discover the community, while a closed one would have more of a “private chat room” kind of structure and feel, right?

The legit concern I’ve seen is that it doesn’t fit in Lemmy’s structure. You can’t just exclude a demographic, right? But I respectfully disagree, as I believe the expectation is that the community is “read-only” to posters identifying as men, and posting is a perfectly enforceable thing on Lemmy.

Other arguments are just baits for toxicity I’d rather not get into :(. But yeah, one factor is definitely like:

It reminds me of one of my friends upset he wasn’t invited to one of our line gaming get together, despite the fact they hate the game

Yeah, that’s perfectly reasonable. That’s how I discovered it too.

AFAIK the expectation is that everything there is publicly viewable, but posting is bound by the rules.

And that’s (IMO) within Lemmy’s structure. Mods can set whatever rules for posting that they want, and it isn’t the only community that’s “exclusive”.

Please do. Uncomfortable is good.

For real.

This is literally what happens in Lemmy’s women-only sub. Posters are still complaining about it in comments below.

Ugh… I fear for the future of my sex. Sometimes, I want to slap some basic respect into other guys. Nothing fancy or philosophical, just “don’t be a dick, leave other human beings in peace” kind of common sense. Yet it feels like a losing battle.

It’s very important, though.

Laptop DDR5 is at the ragged the edge of what SODIMMs can electrically support. Voltage is pushed very high, and latency pushed way out, on top of all sorts of signaling trickery, yet it’s still slow enough to bandwidth starve modern CPUs and their IGPs.

In other words, I understand wanting good old SODIMM sticks, but I don’t think most realize just how limiting they are. They’re already sucking power and capping performance.

…And, TBH, I suspect desktop DIMMs are approaching that point, too. LPCAMM on some near-future motherboard would be a huge selling point for me.

It’s not as detrimental as you think.

If you take a dedicated camera, put it on a tripod, and shoot it at like f22, yeah, you’ll clearly see a spec of dust or a smudge in a shot. But shoot with a wide open aperture (like your phone usually does), and its essentially invisible.

And then that little imperfection gets AI’d away by all the computational frame-stacking your phone does for every shot.

In other words, your phone’s images so processed that one spec of dust doesn’t really matter.

And even on RAWs from a mirrorless camera, it’s the least of your problems, with things like shot noise, motion blur, lens distortion, botched settings and other imperfections all having a much bigger impact on the final image.

I mean this politely but… read the article?

Eh, I don’t totally agree. AI can discover novel exploits that aren’t already in some database, and likely have in this case.

I’m just saying the operating patterns between different LLMs are more similar than you’d expect, like similar tools from the same factory.

Fair.

I accept my shame.

The good advice: exercise.

I do calisthenics (push ups, squats, lunges, planks, core, calves, pull ups, anything) post social fatigue, and it… just gets blood to my brain. I dunno how else to describe it. Im not a fitness buff by any measure, but if I do a decent bit, I sleep better and wake up with more stamina too.

The bad advice: caffeine.

It’s easy to get hooked, or drink too much and exacerbate issues (like talking fast/slurring, obsessing, focus narrowing for me), but some coffee definitely helps me. Even over a baseline of not having caffeine for months. And I feel it pairs well with a little exercise.

As I say in every thread:

Blue Checkmark Lunatics.

In my eyes, these posters mind as well be bots. I do not get why still use Twitter.

It does seem advantageous to the defender.

Another factor Mozilla didn’t mention (and that Anthropic wouldn’t like to emphasize) is that major LLMs are pretty similar. And their development is way more conservative than you’d think. They use similar architectures and formats, train from the same data, distill each other, further pollute the internet with the same output and so on. So if (for example) Mozilla red teams with Mythos, I’d posit it’s likely that attacker LLMs would find the same already-patched bugs, instead of something new.

…So yeah. I’d wager Mozilla’s sentiment is correct.

I mean, algos make it far worse and should be criminalized, but it’s not just their algos. I see tons of ragebait trending on Lemmy too, at the expense of niche communities.

My new belief is that platforms and communication forms all have a set life, and should die when they go bad (for a variety of reasons). The Big Tech platforms are just examples that have lived waaaay too long.

And while I like to think the Fediverse is aging slower, it copied existing platforms a little too closely, without trying to correct their structural issues.

As someone who failed mental health treatment, I interpret it as “it’s okay to hesitate if things clearly aren’t ready.” I had pressure of various sorts to “be okay,” and fix some issues, but jumping early… didn’t work at all.

I mean, I use every alternative I can. Vapoursynth scripts, libraw-based projects, random GitHub repos, DaVinci…

But there are some features I just can’t get great support for outside of definitely-not-high-seas Lightroom Classic:

• Good lens profiles for weird lenses.

• Proper HDR PQ/HLG editing and AVIF/JXL export support.

• RAW support for newer cameras, like my little R50V

I have yet to try DaVinci’s photo editing mode though. That’s very interesting.

What you describe is exactly why the dentist got fired once a VC bought out the region, and partly why the doctor burned out.

They are questioning.

My observation is that doctors are getting squeezed, other staff moreso. They’re getting pushed harder and harder for more and more productivity out of them.

A doctor in my family quit and retired early because (basically) their group got more corporate and burned him out. I heard of a dentist who quit over ethics issues once their group was acquired by private equity.

Not that they aren’t well off, but I’d be careful blaming working professionals like doctors, engineers and such so much.
