Oh nice. An entire language that is write-only.

That sounds much like the “just asking questions” excuse. As a writer you should know the power of words and how the nuances of their meaning affect the message. Dismissing the meaning of your words with the excuse of just “throwing words around” is dangerous and frankly shameful for any writer who isn’t a hack.
Edit: maybe I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. You’re good, but that did not resonate well with me.
It seems likely, even highly likely, but not “definitely”. Making absolute claims without supporting evidence is the sort of thing that antivaxers do.
This may be a silly question, but what is wrong with lemmy for this purpose? You’re already there, friend.
The Khan academy approach to ai-assisted learning looks amazing and it’s just a first attempt. I think having individual, endlessly patient AI tutors leading each student via the Socratic method will revolutionise teaching. Teachers actually have more time to socialise with the students, so fears that ai learning would deprive children of the social interaction may be put to rest. It looks really promising.
Counting calories/macros is good thing to do to zero your brain in on what foods contribute what - it’s honestly quite surprising and informative to do. But, doing it constantly is kinda obsessive and annoying. Same applies here too.
Not to be dismissive of these deaths, but there should not be any expectation of self-drive cars being perfect, ever. The reality is that if they are safer than humans overall, then they have reached a point where we can (and should?) adopt their use. It’s not a huge surprise that there is some form of bias in the current deaths simply because biases arise in any complex, real-world systems.
We should, and must, accept some glitches.
But, uh, yeah Tesla may well try to delay addressing the biases if we don’t call them out, so this info is good.
Stop trying to stack overflow the fediverse, please.
Feral cats are usually pretty easy to distinguish. They’re often in poor condition; skinny, dull coats. They have outbreaks of cat flu when numbers build up, with gross mucus around their eyes, and they are mostly wildtype tabby. You know you have a problem when you start seeing them frequently stalking through the hedges and you start seeing the same cat causing trouble. They shit in the hay barns and cause toxoplasmosis-induced abortions in sheep and humans, not to mention the catastrophic impact on native birds. They need to be controlled. Taking every feral cat in to see if they are chipped is really not an option practically, financially or sensibly.
Even so, mistakes are possible, but if at any point they directly start attacking livestock, like chickens, it really doesn’t matter if they are a pet or not. That’s the outcome for any animal hassling livestock, including dogs, and it doesn’t matter a jot if they are someone’s pet.
For the love of God, no! It ain’t a host if it ain’t up. This will just end up being very annoying.
Ah, well I come from a more brutal rural background I guess, but if any cats cause me problems with the chickens it’s a cage trap followed by a .22 to the head through the bars of the cage. Quick, painless, no burden on animal control but understandably some people would be reluctant to do it. I do the same for friends with feral cat problems who are uncomfortable with the final act.
I still find it abhorrent that people put animals in sacks and drown them. That really makes me feel ill (and angry), but I can swallow the lump in my throat when I have to dispatch a cat, sheep, chicken knowing that it’s the way that causes the least stress, and there really are no better options.
Assuming you’re in the US (I’m not) it can’t be too hard to find a gun-toting maniac to do the deed! (sorry)
I’ll take the downvotes for being evil now if you wish.

Boost for reddit is still working. Any ideas why?
I’ve been using signal for a few years. I’m now in a situation that I use two different phones but signal only allows you to be connected to a single device, and you only see the messages in your history for the particular device you received it on. You can’t migrate messages, the UI is extremely basic and isn’t a responsive design so you have no control over window size on larger screens. There’s just so many annoying little things about it, but overall it’s pretty solid. I’m looking for a better solution now though.
It really needs some more effort put in on UI design, data migration and linked devices. Development is very slow. I hoped it would improve but nothing has changed for years.
Not that it is particularly relevant but we legalised prostitution in New Zealand in 2003.
“The number of sex workers in Aotearoa New Zealand has not changed significantly since decriminalisation, and there is no evidence of trafficking; in fact, the legal recourse granted to sex workers in the country has improved their ability to combat exploitation, violence, and health risks without facing the threat of a soliciting offence.”
Although, there’s still problems around working conditions and other things that need addressing it has been seen by most as a positive change.
I’ve just been sorting my comments by highest score and replacing a dozen or so each day with something like “-> fediverse”. So far none have been restored. Most of the lower scored comments don’t have value to anyone anyway so I’m just ordering by most impact until I get bored.
Not participating isn’t the only choice.
On days I’m feeling particularly petty I go into discussions and vote down the good comments and vote up the bad ones just to make the signal to noise ratio worse. Yes, I’m that petty.
Presumably you can still edit your messages and replace the content via a script like people are doing on reddit?
While the fediverse is young you may be better off to stick to a more umbrella category like hardware, not only because you’ll get more eyeballs, but also to pick up the engagement there. Once the fediverse grows a bit more, it will become necessary to have more specialised communities. There may be a risk of them becoming dilapidated ghost towns if they are created too soon, rather than growing organically.
I think a mobile phone camera is vastly superior to these, although might not be great at night vision for the reasons you said, but is it entirely crazy to not just use a spare phone? It has built in backup power, can store videos locally if there is an internet outage, and can use its own data connection if wifi is not available.
