bob_lemon@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people”English61·4 months agoSure, but despite all the crypto bros assurances to the contrary, the only real-world applications for it is buying drugs, paying ransoms and getting scammed. Which means that any non-zero amount of energy is too much energy.
Tbh, that would have been extremely simple to come back from: Fire his ass. The issue is that they didn’t.
(Inb4 someone says they cannot fire him for some legal or contract reason: That is a major red flag in and of itself)
bob_lemon@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.English71·4 months agoOne thing Amazon is better at (at least here in Germany) is free shipping. But seeing how that is a least partially responsible for creating a cutthroat delivery market, where companies contract out delivery work to barely self-employed drivers for barely any money, paying for shipping doesn’t seem like a bad idea (even though I know the drivers won’t really see any of that money in the end)

The problem is the combination of AOC and nonconsentual explicit AI content. Overly broad rules might make that fall under satire, which is why caution is advised when devising such rules.

If the German chancellor decides to call it “Deutsche See” tomorrow, the name would continue to be “Ostsee”, because that’s how language usually works.
“Gulf of America” is just a dictator’s wish of a common name. The people of OpenStreetMap decided to use the tag “official_name:en_US” for that reason, while keeping “Gulf of Mexico” for the commonly used “name:en-US”.

bob_lemon@feddit.orgto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Only Sensor (5, 4, 8-AQ, and 2-TH): The only DIY home automation sensor you'll ever needEnglish2·7 months agoI don’t have HVAC, so I’m just using it to see when the air at my desk is getting stale so I remember to open the window. I mostly use homeassistant for the configuration, although I might also set up a notification at some point (I only got my sensor 2 days ago)
bob_lemon@feddit.orgto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Only Sensor (5, 4, 8-AQ, and 2-TH): The only DIY home automation sensor you'll ever needEnglish13·7 months agoVery nice.
It’s missing CO2, but those are expensive so that’s understandable. If you need one of those, I think https://www.airgradient.com/ is a great choice.

It will show you places in your vicinity where information is missing, like opening hours of shops, or the existence of ramps at stairs, and you can provide them in a really simple interface. You can filter out questions you don’t like to answer as well.
There’s a semantic difference between “supporting mods” and “provide support for modded installations”. The former is fairly common and is what steam workshop is about and is what you are talking about.
The latter is basically unheard of (for what I hope are obvious reasons).
The OP is a bit ambiguous about which of the two or is.
