Unrelated: I gather that judges tend to take a really dim view of people intentionally perverting the course of justice.

Does it damage my phone in any way if I use a faulty cable to charge it? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 12 hours ago

Without knowing what, if anything, is electrically wrong with your cable, your adapter, or your phone, there's no way to answer this question. It will most likely have absolutely no effect. There's a small but non-zero chance it could cause catastrophic damage. You have to weigh up the price of replacing your phone against the price of replacing your cable.

Draw comparisons with trade secrets. "If it was profitable, AI companies would be hoarding it jealously, not trying to sell it" is a good argument I've used before.

Yes, this. You can. But you probably shouldn't.

No, I'm not. I was mostly just using them for email.

What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Five minutes late once? I'd be annoyed but I wouldn't think about it again.

Five minutes late, twice in a row? I'd ask what's going on.

Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn't go back. There's plenty of trainers out there.

Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Tell me you didn't read the post without telling me you didn't read the post :)

Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I'm an early riser, but not all people are. Some people are more awake in the afternoons, some people don't really wake up until the evenings. So, how come all full-time education seems to start around 9am-10am?

I know that night school is a thing, but that's really targeted at people who want to study over many years around their other commitments (e.g. a day job). I'm talking about full-time three- or four-year bachelor's degrees and above (though exactly the same logic applies to all education really). Surely there's enough demand for at least a couple of top-class full-time education establishments that don't even open their doors until lunchtime?

I'm so glad I'm letting my Proton subscription lapse when it runs out. I want away from that ridiculous mess of enshittification.

Meta seems to have money to burn, so they'll gladly pay for the disk space to host your uncompressible images. Here's a Python script to generate them!

generate.py

from PIL import Image
from tqdm import tqdm
import numpy as np
import sys
import os

number_of_images = 1000
width = 2048
height = 1024

for filename in tqdm(range(number_of_images)):
	image = Image.fromarray(np.random.randint(0, 256, (height, width, 3), dtype=np.uint8))
	image.save(str(filename) + ".png")
