desktop_user [they/them]

nice, sounds useful for creating a touchbar like user interface.

• Rust: you have long socks

does it work for multi gpu systems?

80% is fine for detecting a minor provided the false positive rate is zero.

pretty much every animation u see online nowerdays is a webm

false, I use websites with significant numbers of gif files for animation.

Not everyone buys a separate device for their children or knows how to/can set up a user account.

This comment is a parenting related issue, the technicality illiterate might forget to take the proper precautions when letting their child use their phone and blame the game instead of taking responsibility for their actions.

Parental controls (or just not inputting card details into a phone the child has access to) is a fairly effective way to prevent the child spending the parent’s money without then knowing. Micromanagement is not typically considered good parenting; however showing interest in, and having some knowledge of, what your child spends significant time doing is.

Ignorance is not an excuse for bad parenting.

theft implies violating laws, which few billionaires explicitly do, because other billionaires made the laws and intentionally provide legal methods to extract wealth from the poor.

if you can’t compare evils then there is no reason for someone to try to become less evil.

AI?

touch screens can be justified IMO, IF the company let it function as a diagnostic computer but the auto industry seem terrified of actually making something resembling a competent configurable UI. Internet could be nice if the appliance just used SNMP or similar protocols that have been around for decades, but the companies seem to love that shitty malware they call an App.

a non-diffused, bright, monocromatic red led would still be painful to look at in the dark, it’s just that blue LEDs tend to be brighter + our eyes are more sensitive to blueish green light at night + the damn companies don’t bother putting a diffuser in front of the diode.

and that’s why catering to casuals is a loosing game that shouldn’t be bothered with.

exactly the worst time for it too fail. if it failed only when you treated it perfectly there would be almost no issue as you could just replace it. A good system should only ever rely on basic competence for things that instincts will remind the human to do (food and water) and not break down when the person is in a depression spiral.

unless it lasts more than 100 years it could reasonably fail within someone’s life. Nuclear energy is nice because it is more or less the only energy source that can do this.

RTFM is always a good strategy, the manual/wiki/source code will almost always have more info than a comment can reasonably contain.

I can barely count the number of alarm clocks that I ended up destroying by hitting the snooze button on two hands.

lentils, featuring onion and garlic

probably not the lowest quality, but an allarm clock from walmart that sheared/tore off the prongs from its plug leaving them in the outlet. (to have some charity I was putting significant strain on it)
