Yes but it’s not hooked up to cable or the internet. I just use it for the Switch, or I’ll occasionally hook it up as an alternate second monitor to my PC and play a movie on it. It hasn’t been turned on in a few weeks and the last time was to be used as a temporary monitor to set up a new headless PC.

Adding on to the reasons others posted: Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. If you take off a year for him, that puts an immense amount of pressure on him. Pressure to go to the same school as you, pressure to go to school at all, even pressure to stay in the relationship.

It’s always gonna be “They made this gigantic life decision to their detriment for me, so if I change my mind about anything and want to do things differently, like by going to a different school, or not going to a school, or wanting to break up, then I’m a huge ungrateful jerk.”

Putting that kind of pressure on someone isn’t really cool, especially if they’re actively discouraging you from doing so.

Given the specific names on that list, I took it as an awkward attempt to list the people they think are standing up, rather than a list of people they were admonishing for not standing up

Others have covered that there were internal supports, so they were supporting nothing at all. But let’s assume they weren’t.

I’m going for an intentional underestimate - so let’s say there are 10 people in your layer (I think 8 is more likely), then 24 above them, 18 above them, 18 above them, 25 above them, 14 above them, and 2 above them. I think most people would agree those are underestimates for each ring.

That’s 101 people being supported by 10 people. If we take another underestimate that each of those people weighs 100 pounds (45.36 kg) then that’s 10,100 pounds (4581.28 kg) - or 1010 pounds (458.13 kg) supported by each of the 10 people in your ring, completely ignoring the weight of the metal rings visible in the picture. So I think it’s safe to say it was mostly the internal supports at work.

Here’s a better article that isn’t as uncritically sensationalist.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/de-extinction-company-announces-that-the-dire-wolf-is-back/

tl;dr is that it’s basically just a gray wolf with 14 edited genes, most of which are from natural gray wolf populations rather than dire wolf genomes. The result is a gray wolf that’s visually similar to a dire wolf, not a dire wolf.

I’m a little out of the loop on how reddit’s been. Is blocking links to X officially no longer allowed there?

Is there confirmation that he actually specifically wanted that image off reddit? Or is this just someone making assumptions after the recent story about him interfering with moderation at reddit?

For anyone who didn’t click through to the article, here are pictures of the two posters in question. She wasn’t asked to remove anything else. The article made clear this wasn’t a situation where the school backed down after pushback, and that even after prolonged meetings and discussions with legal counsel, they’re still threatening her with repercussions if the posters aren’t removed by the end of the school year.

Here’s a comparison of part of my homepage with (left) and without (right) the filter active

I’m in firefox + uBlock on lemmy.world too, and it works fine for me - I can see on my current front page 2 posts are being blocked and the rest are showing up. Do you have any other uBlock filters going on? Are you on some page other than the lemmy.world homepage? Are you using the default UI or one of the alternate UIs?

What an insightful post 🙂

The only one of these I’ve updated since the original is the one for Ars Technica, which is now this:

arstechnica.com##:not(:not(head>title:has-text(/Serving the Technologist/))) article:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi|doge|maga/i)

The reason being that ‘Ars Technica’ now appears in the title of articles, while it didn’t originally, which caused the original filter to block out entire articles. ‘Serving the Technologist’ only appears on the homepage so this updated filter will still filter the homepage but display the contents of articles that contain blacklisted words.

Or averages, it seems to be absolute counts each day

And it’s so annoying to hear the excuse “BEcaUsE tHe sWITCh iS aN UNDErpOWeRed SYsTEm” when the Switch’s launch title was Breath of the Wild.

Today I went to sleep at 7am and woke up at 3pm. Next week I’m just as likely to go to bed at 8pm and wake up at 4am. No real schedule, but I tend to slowly drift forward. Sometimes I get caught on a split schedule where I’ll sleep twice a day for half as long.

Good to know that’s the default. I do definitely see prompts that have “Reject all”, plus some banners that only have “Accept all” and “Cookie settings”, with “Reject all” or “Necessary cookies only” only visible in the cookie settings. Thanks.

I tried out the 8B deepseek and found it pretty underwhelming - the responses were borderline unrelated to the prompts at times. The smallest I had any respectable output with was the 12B model - which I was able to run, at a somewhat usable speed even.

Fair, I didn’t realize that. My GPU is a 1060 6 GB so I won’t be running any significant LLMs on it. This PC is pretty old at this point.
