Sounds like a hawk or eagle … which kind of makes sense since they are originally from the Central Asian mountains where a lot of these birds also live

If I heard that cat sound in the mountains, I would just think it was a bird instead of a cat

What the hell for? If you want to censor the ending of a film after allowing people to watch the whole thing … why not just censor the whole thing and not allow it anywhere. The fact that everyone watched it will now make everyone who saw it want to see the actual ending.

It’s like giving things to a teenager and then telling them they can’t have the last minute, the last inch, the last piece or the last word … you know full well they will do whatever it takes to get that last piece just to spite you.

Agreed, I use it with as few options and extensions as possible. I don’t want to start creating a complex system of notes that will rely on anything specific. I try to stick to the core functions without any extras because of the worry of eventually falling into a proprietary black hole. I keep my foot in just enough to get my uses but not so much that I might get stuck with the software.

No … your HP printer has you

This is the same conversation they had with reddit for years. It’s being developed for everyone and we’ll make it open some day. Now look what happened.

I use obsidian but only with the bare minimum knowing that I may have to jump ship at any moment.

Obviously, you know the rules and so do I

If only the US had a cohesive, cooperative, positive reinforcing, mutually benefiting coordinated government organization staffed by people that mutually trusted one another and their leadership for the protection and benefit of their nation.

Another tactic is … don’t spend money on things if you don’t really need to. Why keep spending just to continually spend, spend, spend.

I’ve saved every laptop, PC, portable device I’ve ever owned … and when they got too old and outdated with no more updates from Windows, I converted them all to Linux machines, most were just fun projects to see what I could or couldn’t do or to test all kinds of things I was trying to learn … now I have a closet stacked with devices

The owners of LLMs don’t care about ‘accurate’ … they care about ‘fast’ and ‘summary’ … and especially ‘profit’ and ‘monetization’.

As long as it’s quick, delivers instant content and makes money for someone … no one cares about ‘accurate’

I’ve been lazy on Mastodon because I’ve been spending all my time on Lemmy … I really should do more there in the future … thanks for the reminder.

That’s hilarious

Gotta get back in time

Just use Deepseek for US government data … what could go wrong?

The greatest thing that social media ever did for humanity was in its ability to allow all of us to talk to each other in an open platform.

Those private corporate platforms have slowly been eroded and controlled to only waste our time and designed to keep us all angry, afraid, anxious and confused.

Open decentralized social media is bringing us back to that era 20 years ago when social media was just starting and people just talked and openly discussed the issues of the day with one another. It doesn’t matter what kind of platform we have or can create, as long as it is decentralized and controlled by people, everyone will always find value in it because it allows us to talk to one another. The greatest thing I’ve ever found in taking part in the fediverse was in connecting to like minded people who want to talk about the important issues of the day without all the distractions of advertising and without having having to give up my privacy or security and have my identity sold to the highest bidder.

I just had a talk with a friend of mine in southern Ontario who lives in a farming rural area. He likes cars and often does searches for used vehicles in his area. In a 200km area around Brantford, there are over 200 used Teslas on sale down there over the past month or two because people are dumping them because they don’t like the brand.

Personally never realized what October 14, 2025 was about until just now but your explanation makes more sense … and it also make me realize that I should be looking for another thinkpad in the near future.
