Couple dead pixels from a particularly bright light might well make them unable to do their plate reading job efficiently. Might make for an interesting study.

Define funny. Statistically people fart several times a day and some people find that hilarious.

Every time certain segments of society speak it causes small potions of the audience’s brains to drip out of their ears. These bits are scraped up off the floor and, after mixing well with some tapioca, come to plausibly resemble the mental functions of the person last heard speaking.

If one wants to be an ‘aktually’ arse then take note that ‘declawing’ is actually a much more precise term than ‘mutilation of extremities’ which could perfectly well mean putting their tail in a wood chipper and be technically correct

On a whole I don’t support any sort of unnecessary bodily modification, declawing, tail bobbing, circumcisions, or whatever.

What bothers me is when people find it necessary to interject some unneeded drivel because of some passing word that’s a perfectly well accepted term.

Do you just go around looking to be offended?

relative restraint

You get 50%, you get 75%, you get 225%…

Guy pulls numbers out of his ass for whatever dramatic effect he thinks he can make and then blames others as why the economy is in turmoil.

no rush for bush now shush your tush and pass the kush

Beauty of the fedi, you can post from one instance to another without needing a separate account. For example mine is a single person instance with no local comms, yet here I am.

Edit: I think I missed the intent of the question. What you would look for is just the same of the comm@instance.tld on your own local base and assuming that federation functional between the instances it’ll show up to subscribe to. There’s no translation needed, but if you’re the first to subscribe from your home instance it might not show up right away.

Spin your own instance. Fully unmoderated as you wish. Enjoy your defederations and lack of users other than trolls and bots, oh and the visit from the gov when someone starts spewing csam onto it.

No, I’m using ‘she’ in the context of the medicine woman in your story, or more simply, those continually suggesting non-support for the Democrat party because of their failings. The math of our system allows for two parties at most in the sense of presidential elections.

Rather than seeking to push people away from the D’s it would be a far more beneficial thing to work to implement local and state level rank choice or similar system votes. Until that happens it’s a choice of 2 options, and one, while dull and stagnant, is leagues ahead of the other in terms of treating the population with some level of civility and dignity.

I would be more inclined to view it as she’s actively trying to dissuade people from helping the patient that everyone knows is sick.

Proposing running better candidates isn’t the same as ‘genocide joe’ was objectively worse and did x/y/z things that means the D’s are bad compared even to the current situation. It’d be lovely to get some younger, more progressive sorts out there, but when the alternative is what we have now and people stay home because someone doesn’t pass their ideals test that’s a bad trade for all of us.

And yet you have people on here bitching about how Obama/Biden Clinton where so much worse because Dems bad.

I think there was at one point an instance called ‘lemmyporn’ or similar but they might have quit to let lemmynsfw take the role. Otherwise there are a few comms on general purpose instances.

Tale is it went offline recently and the admin is gone for a few months.

Funny enough I used to work at a Caribou and those caused issues all the time. People would come in expecting something like the sugar laden thing at Starbucks only get a regular espresso and foam.

My go to for messing with chat bots is Kobold that’ll let you split the work between multiple GPUs. I get the impression the actual processing is only done on one but it lets you load larger models with the extra memory.

I was using a Nvidia 3060 for a while, then had 2 in one box, then switched to a 3090.

The amount of vram is a big factor for decent performance. Getting it to not sound like a predictably repetitive bot though is a whole separate thing that is still kind of elusive.
