who knows... it's vague enough to be used to any kind of hate tbh. all we can say is it's about conformity

you'd be sleepy, perhaps for months or years, until you realize that a fulfilling life is not one spent in oblivion and you find a better way to use your time!

love random comments dismissing potentially good policy because "in my country" which you didnt name, it doesn't work

what kind of fucking scientist says "huh that attempt didn't work i guess it never will"?

You're not even going to tell us what country it is so we can see? probably not, because it is probably a shitty comparison.

and for the record, parent comment was downvoted because it's fucking stupid. there's no UBI in this post. it's as if i take a day off and go to the park and say "Hmpf this is why UBI doesnt work!" like what the fuck are you talking about, UBI is not just when lazy day. the only thing that could make this post dumber would be calling me triggered for pointing out how dumb it is

So your brilliant mind sees someone emphasizing how little work they have by saying they watch movies and you think "Hmpf, that's probably what UBI is like!"

And now because you think it, it's evidence? Fuck right outta here chump.

Having two jobs is fraud? What....?

Have you never heard of Overemployment? There are people out there working multiple easy WFM jobs and just raking in three incomes.

You're allowed to have two jobs lol

I would love to hear someone leverage this negative review as cleverness in an interview though

I mean, read the post? They explain themselves pretty well there. Or are you linking it with hopes we'll brigade or something?

Lemmy hate comes down to two or three things: they don't like communists, or they're confused by it. Or they're waiting for it to be bigger.

I'm sorry what? You never lived in the US and yet you're gonna say what you think the solution to tipping culture is? Look I try not to assume that people are American but the alternative to you not being American and making a post like that is you being fucking stupid. Why not just tell people "Just move?"

Although I guess to be honest when I thought I was responding to an American I thought you were an absolute knob too, so maybe you just have that vibe of "I talk confidently about things I don't understand"

hey the waiter doesnt carry the food, the runner does that

the waiter asks me how im doing every 5 minutes and upsells me drinks and excess food. now that is special

If you don’t like the tipping culture just go to a fast food restaurant or make your own food.

You know in other countries there's restaurants that specialize in different dishes. They make stuff that you might not know how to make. They make stuff in bulk that's hard to make to-order. There's a lot of reasons why you might eat out rather than make it yourself.

Tipping isn't essential to this place. If you specialize in making pigs feet and you open a pig feet restaurant, you can charge people whatever you want them to pay for your pigs feet, and if they want it they pay it. But if you expect to hire waitstaff to do all the customer service, you better pay them a fair portion of what you're charging customers. Giving them pennies and then telling customers "Oh just pay the help whatever you want, it's extra" is just fucking evil. But instead of one shitty business model drying out, it became the norm in only your country.

Yet another case of a stupid american not understanding how the world works outside of america.... no vision of how things could work otherwise. Just arrogance and contempt.

Help me understand Voice Recognition tech

I am interested in getting an app that would allow me to make notes via voice-to-text. I work in a field with HIPAA protections. I'm having trouble figuring out the nuances of privacy related to these apps.

First off, is this kind of software considered "AI"? How does it even recognize that a sound equals a word? Do they use LLM tech? Does the tech learn to recognize my voice better over time? Does it use my recordings to learn to understand other's voices? Is this all a black box? How can I take precautions such that no one except me hears the things I transcribe?

This is just such confusing tech! It seems like it's fairly old and common but the more I think about it in relation to current age AI, the more creeped out I get! And yet my doctor uses one regularly... I'll be asking her about it too, don't worry.

Thank you!

 

I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

"I wanna watch X, let's see if Netflix has it..."

*Opens webpage*

"Hmm... Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I'm just gonna say I'll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let's still confirm that Netflix doesn't have X..."

Next thing you know, I'm watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point....

No, I wont name the specific title. I don't want to break Rule 3. But I do want to understand why a movie or show can be so hard to find, because maybe that will lead me to understanding how to find things.

I am surprised how hard it is to find some titles. Maybe it's because the one I'm thinking of is an old title, 60s or 70s era. But it's extremely popular, even today. It's been on hopping around streaming services. One would think it would be readily available on the high seas too. I don't really know how one creates a torrent but I'm assuming anything that can be streamed can be captured. I guess maybe it's just not as popular as I think?

 

I just checked out Twitch again after a while and WOW has that site gotten shitty. But I'm trying to watch someone and really don't want ads every few minutes. Instead of paying Bezos to remove half the ads, how can I configure my uBlock Origin to block them all for free?

 

[Resolved, thanks!]

Weird, but I just got two copyright notices from my ISP. I always use a paid VPN (Proton). How'd they see me?

I did accidentally open qBitTorrent before connecting to the VPN yesterday, but immediately exited the program before anything loaded. Is that enough time to get two strikes? One was for seeding TNG S03 and the other for TNG S05 lol.

What confuses me is that that happened yesterday, but the email lists the day prior as the time of offense.

So I guess it's time to set up a kill switch or make sure the qBitTorrent wont open without Proton connected. If anyone has a guide for that send a link my way.... thanks.

 

Recently learned about this stuff on a Lemmy World post and I thought I'd move the conversation here since they've been fussy about DB0 in the past.

I'm really just a common seaman when it comes to the high seas. I just use Proton and qBit and whichever website is supposed to be safe and active nowdays (currently Torrent Galaxy?). I just download from the magnet link to qBit and save it on my drive. I don't know much about torrent streaming or ports or networks or anything IT might ask me to check beyond "plug it in".

But for some shows I've only been able to find single episodes, not full seasons, so when I heard about something that compiles stuff for me, it seemed convenient. I'd be curious to learn more. Unfortunately the websites for these services don't really offer any explanation to new users and laymen, so I got a bit lost. Thought I'd ask here rather than venture into their forums where they already don't seem to welcome idiots like me.

So... what the heck is Sonarr and how do I use it?
