What would these deltas look like? It'd be hard to anonymise and protect from abuse?

Personally I'd be happy to share my likes and watch times, but I know some people worry about that.

At a time when the US are breaking their own absurd tariff rules to shake us down, for seemingly no reason other than just to humiliate us. Our government can't encourage buying British, but they can take credit for opening an American theme park..

It's like they're making a point to the British public that US interests come first.

Republicans are going to republican. Democrats at least have the pretense of representing their constituents interests.

It's like if an oil tanker that takes ten miles to stop was bearing down on a small passenger ferry. Sure it might be the fault of the tanker's crew but they can't stop and they won't stop. The democrats driving the ferry have the capacity to easily save everyone on board and simply refuse to do so. That's why people shout at them.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this post? Is the problem that you have two .stl files that you want to edit and munge together into a new object? If that's the case, then as @AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world you can import them both into openscad, subtract what you don't need or intersect what you do and place them into a new part for export. You can also do this in prusa slic3r if openscad is being buggy which it sometimes is with stl imports, but it's a massive pain in the arse

Random fact: The guy that did the hook a Macklemore's thrift shop was partially responsible for that.

The thing I don't get is why it happens in the summer rather than the winter.

In the UK it gets dark at about 4pm in winter. We basically get no leisure time during daylight but we do get a bit of light during getting ready for work time when we don't really need it.

I think the arrangement is that we hand over what's left of public services to BlackRock and Palintir. That's the reason why Trump isn't actually sanctioning us yet. We give them everything they want without the threats.

He's going to ask them to say thank you for British tax payers paying for their military bases. Well he won't insist. It'll be more of a nod, but it'll be a tough nod.

It's a failure on the part of mastodon. I don't really care about whatever drama dansup is embroiled in. Mastodon shouldn't imply a post is only readable by followers when it's just a public post that doesn't show by default in their frontend.

[–] manicdave@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Honestly pixelfed should have just not fixed it. It's a fediverse problem that can be fixed and mastodon is just misleading people.

Platforms should either make it clear that it means just that the post isn't advertised by default on all platforms but is always accessible to anyone that wants it or actually implement e2e encryption.

As funny as this is, I'd rather people understood how the AI actually works. It doesn't reveal secrets because it doesn't have any. It's not aware that Musk is trying to tweak it. It's not coming to logical conclusions the way a person would. It's simply trying to create a sensible statement based on what's statistically likely based on all the stolen content that it's trained on. It just so happens that Musk gets called out for lying so often that grok infers it when it gets conflicting data.

There's an annoying meme that Europe doesn't do tech things and it's infuriating. The world would be a very different place were it not for companies like Raspberry pi, ARM, Arduino and Prusa.

Unfortunately the press and politicians seem to think it doesn't count unless the company is headed by a complete arsehole determined to enclose other people's property.
