It baffles me that they sell Chrome as private and/or secure, and baffles me even more that people believe them.

I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn’t particularly difficult at that time, at least.
Can’t give any advice here though, since all we’ve been given to work with is an OS.

Where?
Can’t say we as a species have a great history of granting rights to others.
In case anyone is curious - as I was - here’s the commercial: https://youtu.be/uTVlnehpRHQ

Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren’t bound to license agreements, turns out it’s actually very easy to have a “massive” content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.
Because all the legal services are incredibly anti-consumer and are offering less services, with (more) ads, for more money every year.
It’s like they took an ergonomics textbook and read it upside-down.
Haha literally what planet do they live on?
That was quite a segue into complaining about inflation.
Oh hey, I think I’m the guy from that post! Lol
Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve been having a lot of fun with it too - even if my wife sometimes thinks I’m crazy when I “just quickly run over here” to check the hours for this place, haha.
My “Global Rank” is a bit over 5000, but I’m not sure if that’s the same number as you’re looking at, given the range. 400th in Canada, though!
Honestly I wish there were less communities. I’ve said this before, but people treat Lemmy like late-stage Reddit, expecting niche communities for everything, and we end up with hundreds of communities with no (or one, if we’re lucky) active members.
This problem is then amplified by the fact that these niche communities are split even further across several instances, so our userbase ends up completely dissipated.
I would love to see users focus on a smaller number of more general-purpose communities. Of course, these should still be shared across instances, but I think we would benefit a lot from having, say, a “video games” community instead of 500 specific game communities.
As a side note as well, I don’t think we shouldn’t be “allowed” to create more niche communities (though if an instance admin wanted to regulate, that’s their call). I think this should be more of a user culture shift, if anything.
The only way to play, imo.
Man imagine this game with a proper modern physics engine.
I mean, I guess it inspired a lot of what we see in modern physics games, so I don’t really need to imagine, but still, I would play it.
1: Does IBM even have an LLM that would be considered “good” these days? Maybe they do, but I haven’t heard about it.
2: If this was in 2019, no wonder it flopped. Only very recently have we gotten to a point where this should’ve even been considered (and then, in my opinion given the current state of LLMs, dismissed).
3: More than 100 stores were testing this?? Did they not think to start with like, one store and see if that worked at all?
4: While a short-lived victory, this is still a win for people that rely on these jobs. Good for them.
I’ve done this a few times through my life, especially lately as I’ve finally been getting my own life stabilized. Here’s some more “notable” examples.
A family member, where I’ve been trying to mentor them and help them in every way I possibly can - sometimes at great personal cost - but as the saying goes, I’ve led them to water but I can’t make them drink. Still won’t give up, though.
Another family member I’ve done the same for has actually been trying to take me up on it. Still early stages, but they’ve started on applying for college in a field they’re interested in. I’m helping them study since it happens to be adjacent to my own field, and I’ll help cover the bulk of the cost if they don’t qualify for gov’t funding. I’m really hoping things work out for them.
The only time I’ve really actually seen obvious results is in my students where I volunteer teaching English. One student in particular really struggled to read even a single word, but in less than a year, they can now read most sentences on their own - which is honestly just insane to me.
Obviously it’s like 99.999% their effort rather than mine, but I like to think I’m helping lol.
…writing this all out makes me feel like I’m bragging or something. Really I’ve just been in a rough spot for most of my life, and now that I’m getting my life together I’m just trying to give back a bit where I can. I just want everyone to be happy, lol.
I mean, there isn’t really one singular instance for Canada lol.
Oh absolutely, I just meant to say that technically I am on a “local instance”.
Yeah, that’s the stuff that makes this difficult. I can talk all day about what “makes sense”, but you throw one corporate executive into the mix and everything falls apart.
Speaking of analog: Light Guns don’t work on modern televisions due to the high latency relative to CRT screens (which had essentially zero latency).
