I agree with the point you are making, that this study shows that there is a risk of people using these systems to generate biological weapons.

However, in this particular study, they created bacteriophages. Those are viruses that attack bacteria, and the focus of that research is usually around creating antibiotic treatments (fight bacterial infections with viruses that kill them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

Some third party apps and alternative UIs support this, but Lemmy will get this in the upcoming v1 release

No problem!

That’s the one I forgot to check 🤦 I looked in !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

Thanks!

Check out lemmyverse.net to find communities. If you set your home instance (top right, button with a home icon, enter slrpnk.net in your case), then it will open the page where you can subscribe directly. There’s a longer guide here with more tips: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/threadiverse/finding-communities

If you aren’t sure what you want to subscribe to, there is a list pinned on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca @blaze@piefed.zip had an amazing list of non-politics communities that unfortunately I can’t seem to find right now.

Once Lemmy releases the big v1 update, both Lemmy and Piefed will have multi-communities that you can subscribe to in order to get a lot of similar content.

As for your requests specifically, check out these. Some are more relevant than others, and the small ones grow as interested people post to them:

• !imadethis@lemmy.zip
• !sewing@lemmy.world
• !diy@beehaw.org
• !artshare@lemmy.world
• !crochet@lemmy.ca (as an example of a community that grew over time)
• !sewingrepairing@sh.itjust.works
• !dollhouse@lemmy.world

Added more context to the title

What a scrungy otter 😄

Thank you for the tip, I’ll try to remember that one

What’s idiotic is that OpenAI broke the law, got caught, and was successful enough in turning it into a marketing stunt (aimed at investors) that other companies want to do it too.

With this precedent, all you need to do in order to get away with hacking is to change your user agent to something an AI agent uses. /s

They would disappear so fast, especially at a summer picnic

I don’t think that’s what the user is asking for though. I read it as wishing that the games didn’t have those security requirements, so that they could play the games on Linux.

The joke in the meme isn’t “thank you to Linux maintainers for not compromising security”, its a joke about those games themselves.

Also their point about toxicity is valid, and I’ve found that it varies by distro. Without being specific, in case I just had a bad experience, some support communities were very hostile to users asking questions. If the new person didn’t phrase their question perfectly, using all the correct terminology, the support person refused to answer the question. It was a thread of “You said X, but X actually means Y, so I don’t understand your question. Did you mean Z”, when it is obvious from context what they meant.

The lines don’t even map to the legend properly, they have no excuses.

I looked for a photo of a sea otter with fruit, but all I got was AI slop. So here is one enjoying some crunchy

Apparently it is both

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit

In common language and culinary usage, fruit normally means the seed-associated fleshy structures (or produce) of plants that are typically sweet (or sour) and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term fruit includes many structures that are not commonly called as such in everyday language, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

These are strange times for Fruit club. Strange times…

Sweet

Not only that, but some road networks have gotten a lot more complex because everyone has a GPS or mapping software now.

I grew up when paper maps were already on the way out, so maybe it’s a ‘skill issue’ for me, but I would have a rough time figuring out lane changes and exits if I had to travel to a new part of greater Vancouver for the first time without GPS. It works fine when everyone is using software to help navigate, and I expect that it would be a mess otherwise.

I think it comes down to

• on paper it isn’t gambling
• in practice it has become gambling

ETFs are generally better, especially if you don’t touch them for a long time.

Thanks!

Winters’ lawyers alleged the platform “repeatedly and insistently misdiagnosed” him while drawing on previous discussions about religion to assure him he would recover.

I forgot that it “learns” now, I haven’t tried it in a long while 🤦

I haven’t tried any myself yet, but I’ve heard that watches have a hard time reading the data compared to bands that go around your arm or chest, or even the rings. I don’t think I’d enjoy wearing a ring while sleeping though
