There’s an ecosystem of entire instances with crazy rules.

The fact that Lemmy just doesn’t become unusable with all this brokerage tells a lot about the benefits of a distributed system.

They are not afraid to take risks…

I have plenty of coworkers that are thrilled when we have an in-office event. And some that choose to go there to work every day.

I can’t understand them, but well, it makes them happy.

Instead, the people offering the largest salaries are mostly remote-only.

People that value your work value your work, I guess.

Well, I guess being burned up by crap is “mindless rage”, and first person experiencing it is being “dictated by influencers”.

I haven’t seen Luca, and never planned to. Disney destroyed a huge amount of goodwill by making mindless live-action reenactions and low quality sequels. I just didn’t plan on betting my time on a Disney movie without somebody recommending it.

And yes, this is what changed. All the movie studios consolidated on a handful, and that handful got a reputation of only pushing shit to the theaters. Added to that, the theater experience got worse and worse for decades, to the point that people don’t really want to go there, they only go for the movie. And on top of that, the theaters have competition nowadays.

People keep blaming it on the pandemic, but I don’t think it’s even relevant.

That’s quite a bad way to express yourself.

But then, the Lemmy front-page sending unsuspecting new people into a place where they will censored if they try to speak against of dictators and human rights violations isn’t a good thing. So yeah, Lemmy is better with the ML not listed.

The movies changed. Moviegoes only reflected the change back.

There was a ridiculous, completely unbalanced version they published just after Alpha Centauri where the most powerful unit was a van-looking ecoterrorism thing that transformed everything around it into forest.

They could make a sequel to that one instead.

You are thinking about a soldering plate? Those go up to 300°C or some times 400°C.

A phone screen is fixed with hot glue, that starts to melt around 60°C.

There’s something about social networks and doom-porn. I have no idea which causes the other, but those tend to walk together.

At least lemmy isn’t heavy editorialized into increased doomerism.

Oh, they absolutely should. A “Jarvis” would be great.

But that thing they are pushing has absolutely no relation to a “Jarvis”.

Mad Max Furiosa is doing badly because Fury Road completely killed the franchise. If they want people to go see it they should have communicate in some way that Furiosa is not a badly written fashion show, and the best way to do that is by not calling it “Mad Max”.

(Honestly, I have no idea what Furiosa is about, and no interest in finding out.)

On one hand, it clearly showed me how much theist bullshit exists on both my culture and the internet anglicentric one.

On the other hand, it makes me see very clearly how much I don’t care about the origins of culture instead of its immediate values.

The people that come up with country names do like a light trolling.

From a multinational consortium standpoint, that’s small enough to ignore.

Well… Are you going to do the work of digging through whatever those two speak to determine if their answers are right, if they are answers, or if they mean anything at all?

The power supply connect with the motherboard in more than one place. If “the wire from the power supply plugs into the motherboard” is a thing, that may be your problem.

Unplug anything that is optional (that includes disks and stuff that you have more than 1, like maybe memory sticks) and try to power the computer. If it works, replug stuff one by one.

As BigMikeInAustin said, remove everything and plug it again. I’d add to get a paint brush and clean stuff a bit in between if it’s dusty. Make sure to clean plugs and contacts, try not to clean electronic components.

Try to remove the board’s battery for a few minutes and turn the computer on again. Some times that’s enough.

Also, turn the computer on for a minute or two, turn it off, unplug everything, and touch the surfaces to see if they are hot. Try not to touch any printed circuit board.

No, AIs have been capable of looking at your code|text|image|whatever and telling the project apart. For ages. It’s not even impressive anymore.

AIs have been capable of doing this for ages already.

It just falls into the set of useful stuff that LLMs trained as chatbots suck at because they had the useless goal of convincing people they are smart.
