Jokes about causing harm to children is always a huge red flag.

Lemongrab,

But an even tastier treat.

Omega_Haxors,

It becomes a lot less funny when it affects you personally.

OK im starting to have doubts that this is legit. Looks like OP (or OOP, idk) just found a classifier which misclassified that image. Nothing I’m seeing indicates that it’s the classifier used for her stupid app.

Cybrpwca,

I fed it a pre-HRT pic and got “Woman, 56% confident”. Lol. I guess it’s kind of affirming to think a machine could see the real me back then?

lud,

I did the same pic that was used above and it said “Woman, 95% confident”

Did you crop the picture? And else I was thinking what if the AI was actually saying I’m 97% sure that it’s a man facing away from the camera.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

that’s a solid disclaimer.

96 bricks of cocaine? Damn, I can’t believe they found 95 bricks of cocaine. What kind of a dealer has 94 bricks of cocaine?

Flummoxed,

For real. Dealers rarely have 93 bricks of cocaine, like this guy.

ChicoSuave,

92 bricks has got to be some kind record.

spankinspinach,

Y’all ever notice how this only ever happens when they find 91 bricks of cocaine?

Flummoxed,

For real. They have to find 90 bricks of cocaine for it to become a thing, I guess.

SeekPie,

Good thing they found 86 bricks, imagine what would’ve happened if they didn’t find those 85 bricks?

Flummoxed,

I’m sorry, did you say 84 bricks? Could’ve sworn they found 83…

bamfic,

97 bricks of cocaine on the wall 97 bricks of cocaine if one of those bricks should happen to fall 96 bricks of cocaine on the wall

My God I hate this. My wife will tell me she’s confused and can’t find any of her documents, and lo and behold the Microsoft somehow enabled OneDrive and either replaced everything on the computer with her account, or moved everything from the computer to God knows where.

bownage,

Does it help to disable onedrive at startup?

henfredemars,

I’ve seen it get turned on all by itself after a feature update. Maybe it can help.

This is her business computer so it needs to be Windows sadly.

OneDrive is pretty simple and usually replaces the original save locations with ones also backed up online.

"Summer Camp"

  • Single Day
  • 3 Hours
  • Just learn to be a wage slave
  • All indoors, except presumably when you go out with an ipad to take orders from fucks in their car

I’m failing to see the camp here.

Technus,

I wonder at what point in those three hours do they try to indoctrinate your child to think being gay is a moral failing.

Confused_Emus,

Every Chic-fil-A I’ve been to has had at least one person working there who dropped a Gucci bag out of their mouth when speaking. This company really confuses me.

KISSmyOSFeddit,

wait, 12pm is midday, not midnight?
That makes no sense at all.

Glimpythegoblin,

AM is ante meridian and PM is post meridian. It’s referenced to the prime meridian through Greenwich UK. If the sun is to the east of the line (ie. Before noon where it is vertical) it’s before (ante) the meridian. If it’s after (post) noon it’s after the meridian. It’s all outdated but that’s how time works.

KISSmyOSFeddit,

12 pm isn’t past noon, it’s noon.
12 am is past noon just as much as it is before noon.
So for 12 o’clock, choosing am or pm is arbitrary convention.
So it would make more sense to reverse them, to get a consistant row that starts with 1:
1 am, 2 am, 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, 6 am, 7 am, 8 am, 9 am, 10 am, 11 am, 12 am, 1 pm , 2 pm , 3 pm , 4 pm , 5 pm , 6 pm , 7 pm , 8 pm , 9 pm , 10 pm , 11 pm , 12 pm

Hugh_Jeggs,

Away and don’t talk pish. Ok, 12pm sounds a bit odd, but it would be even more odd to say 12.05pm, 12.59pm then jump to 1am

BearGun,

Except that you don’t just use it for whole hours. 12.01 is clearly post meridian, so it has to be PM if you wanna keep the meaning. With your example 12 am and 12.01 pm would either be one minute apart or you’d have to drop the whole meaning of am and pm, which would just make it an entirely arbitrary construct that’s even more difficult to understand.

On the other hand, as a European I’m quite happy with 24h time keeping. This whole am-pm system is quite unnecessary.

ChanSecodina,

Not to defend 12hr time because it’s dumb as a bag of bricks, but 12:45pm is definitely past noon and having the time go from 12:00am to 12:01pm would be way too silly. Also, you can think of the moment between 11:59:59.999999~ as just before noon and 12:00:00.0000000001 as the first fraction of a second after noon if it helps.

RustyShackleford,

Oh, it’s more of a concentration camp than your traditional summer camp.

JackbyDev,

Day camp is a thing that lots of places do, but still 3 hours seems a tad short. It’s usually a week. And not to mention it’s usually not so tied to a place of work.

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

No, AFAIK. You’re getting “Server error”, right? Sorry, I forgot their frontend is very unreliable so many people cannot use feddit.de unless they have the web app cached or use a third-party app.

I think it means like someone in the CIA. It might be more specific though.

DragonTypeWyvern,

It’s any member of a federal agency trying to control or trick into a felony members of weirdo internet communities.

It started as a right-wing term, because they’re obsessed with the idea that all their terrorists can’t really be terrorists, but it’s atypically nonracist so it’s spread beyond that.

Neato,

$5.15 minimum wage. I know because I worked that then. Thousands per semester just in tuition. In state, public. Burgers would be $10k/yr full time. No one puts themselves through college like that. $900/mo is mostly rent at that point.

Doxatek,

It just depends. I did nearly the same thing but went to a really cheap college. Mine was a bit more recent and I was making 8.25 also in a really low cost of living area which makes a big difference for sure

I uninstall One Drive, and every other Microsoft product that they will let me uninstall, as part of my Windows install process. Then I disable anything else that I can. Microsoft is doing everything it can think of to convince me to finally make the switch to Linux.

joel,

Do it bro, I switched 5 years ago after being too fed up with windows, and I’ve never looked back

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

I have run Linux on servers and I even have one machine running Linux as a workstation but I’m very confortable in Windows. I’ve been with Microsoft since the MS-DOS 3 days.

shikitohno,

You’ll only get more comfortable with Linux once you get on it .

joel,

I don’t know your use case, but I’m less skilled with computers than you (I’m currently trying to build my first ever home server as a hobby) and i can use it easy.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

I’m my sure that all of the tools that I use will run in Linux. I’m using Visual Studio to write Great Cow BASIC. I’ll probably give it a try and see what happens. I have several pieces of software that are quite old (AutoCAD 2001, PhotoShop CS4, etc) that I keep around because they aren’t the new subscription based everything you produce is ours bullshit. I guess I could run windows in a VM to run those.

joel,

Worth a shot, you can always dual boot to try it out to start with 🙂

DaddleDew,

Do it. Earlier this year I was exactly at the point you are now, coming from using Microsoft since MS DOS days. I’m glad I did the switch and haven’t looked back since. It was far easier than I thought it would be. If you know how to uninstall Microsoft bloat you can easily learn to use Linux.

DaddleDew,

I occasionally use Autodesk Inventor and Photoshop still. I’ve got a Windows 10 LTSC virtual machine set up just for that. I don’t even let it connect to the internet. Any file I need to work on in there I just drag and drop them in and out of the VM. It’s like keeping a pet Windows that you can use whenever you need it but it’s kept confined in a vivarium so it cannot wander into your house and crap some bloatware on your carpet.

Another amusing analogy I have for it is that I’m keeping it locked in the Matrix. It thinks it’s enjoying a big juicy steak but really it’s locked up in a virtual world so it can be used by me without ever being able to seeing or affecting the outside world.

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

I do that with Linux. I have a couple of Linux VMs that I use for one thing or another. Maybe it’s time to bring Linux forward and push Windows into a VM.

Looks like you’re unlucky enough to have just the wrong versions of those software. PS CS4 is rated Bronze on winehq, and AutoCAD 2001 is garbage. Yet 2000 and 2002 are both gold. CS5 is silver, and CS2 and CS6 are both gold

MapleEngineer,
@MapleEngineer@lemmy.world avatar

Just my luck. I bought the AutoCAD for a project at work and took the keys with me when I left. I was the only person who ever used it. I became fairly comfortable with it and still use it rarely when I need to design something. The last time I used it was a couple of months ago to design new front step stringers for my parents house.

The PhotoShop I only use for producing all white versions of my customer’s logos with transparent backgrounds for presentations wit cover slides with dark backgrounds. I got hat through work as well. I was having sex with a woman from the creative department who would request the disks and keys and let me copy them. Given that I had very limited use for it I never bothered to try to update it after I left and we stopped havign sex.

Maybe I cuold find someone to have sex with for PS CS 6.

tofubl,

Gimp might be able to perform that little logo-transformation favour for you libre of charge, but at least give it a call after for heaven’s sake.

I have Gimp installed on my notebook. I struggled to get started. I guess I should watch a tutorial video or something.

Gimp believes in you and loves you in a non clingy way.

Visual Studio (not Code) does not run on Linux, a fact about which I am a little bit angry since Malware-Dev has not published his devkit for Space Engineers ingame scripts for anything else. I’ve heard that Photoshop works in Wine now although I’ve not had a chance to try it myself. Linux works for 99% of people nowadays, but I think it’s safe to say just from this thread that you are not 99% of people.

I’d still suggest giving it a shot, though, if for no other reason than to see if you can. All else fails, as you say, you could run a VM. The tooling for that is pretty solid nowadays since for a while it was the only way to game on Linux, doubly so now that Nvidia drivers let you demonstrate the power of flex tape by sawing your GPU in half and give half to the virtual machine (it creates two virtual PCIe devices which appear to the Linux host to be entirely separate GPUs, each with a fixed portion of the available VRAM – previously the only way to get 3D acceleration in a VM was to buy two graphics cards and give one to Windows). I’ve not had to do it in a while so it may have gotten better, but last I tried, it was a M A S S I V E pain in the backside to set up but after that it was smooth sailing.

Gestrid, (edited ) to 196 in Onedrive Rule

When I was setting up my new computer late last year, OneDrive wanted to sync everything in my user folders to OneDrive. No idea why. I knew it’d never fit everything anyway. To get it to stop, I had to create a brand new user account without a Microsoft account attached, move everything over to the new account, and delete the old account.

Now, I only have OneDrive sync my college stuff (homework, projects, notes, PowerPoints, etc.). Nothing else syncs to OneDrive. I backup my PC using a program called Backblaze instead.
