  • Yeah, that gets done every so often in my check ups. Usually an “in case we missed it last time” thing.

    Dunno why someone downvoted you; POTS is common and one of the key symptoms is black outs getting up too quickly. It’s kinda like that with and fatigue or dizziness/balance, you get checked.

  • Doesn’t exist. Free speech is not applicable to private sites and communities which are protected by constitutional laws, not bound by them.

    What you’re after is a website that has minimal to no moderation on political discourse. These tend not to exist because of the people they attract and the hot water the site owners can get into by the actions of those people.

    Your best bet is 4chan.

    Edit: Besides, it’d just be a slew of echo chamber vs echo chamber with few participants having an understanding or knowledge of politics—like, ‘what is free speech?’—beyond a philosophical top-layer, however everyone will see themself as an expert. This is 95% of online users that involve themselves in political topics, including most of Lemmy users.

  • I have low blood pressure and am fairly tall so this happens most times I get up. Some times I black out completely and hit the deck.

    A doctor said it’s a good thing because by the time I’m old, my blood pressure will be like a normal adult and risk of stroke will be basically nothing. I just got to make it there without splitting my head open.

  • Well of course god is the evil one.

    Genesis. Dude invented sin by putting a random tree down with a whole made up lore on it for no reason other to tempt his “beloved” creation. Of course it all goes to plan—since the dude apparently knows what comes ahead of time—and he gets to do what he wanted all along; fuck with the ants.

    And Lucifer, the only person to try overthrow this monster tragically lost and paid the ultimate price for it.

    This slots in so much better than the original, I think. They should incorporate it into Diablo somehow.

  • Do oil changes yourself. It’s very simple and kind of fun. First time took me 45 mins. Every time after that, about 10 mins, and most of that is sitting around waiting for the oil to drain before screwing the plug back in.

    Really, for most cars, if you can pump gas then you can do the oil and oil filter, fluids (coolants, brake, power steering, etc), air and cabin filters. They generally involve unscrewing or unclipping something, then popping it back on. Brake pads are also very simple. These are parts designed to be replaced regularly so are quick and simple with 1 or 2 tools, if a tool is even needed.

  • Last two times I upgraded GPU; booted up FTL.

    I think it’s because by the time it’s installed, clean while I’m there, get it all back together, do all the software side of things… I’m not in a Cyberpunk kind of mood.

  • It’d be minimal since I’m doing all the hard work initially and feeding it logic to follow. I find open vibe coding does rip tokens and usually ends up with an overcomplicate mess. Many rabbit holes the AI creates and sends itself down, so a lot more unnecessary lines and often entire redundant blocks.

    If someone’s going to do that, at the least break it up into sections to save tokens and time. But ideally, just get some coding experience under the belt of have a crack at it yourself first so it’s easy to identify the pitfalls and where clear instructions is needed.

  • Same. I also code up about 50% of stuff so all the structure is there, effectively as guardrails, before using AI. Then prompting it instructions that are effectively the solution, so it doesn’t come up with its own.

    Then, read through it all, replace things that could’ve been done better, and test.

    On average it’s maybe 15-20% quicker than manually coding the whole lot. Try skip any of those steps and the chances of it blowing out increase to the point I just end up doing it all anyway and it’s taken twice as long because of it.

    It’s alarming when people don’t even check.

  • You see them on SmarTube. But I imagine, like most voting on the internet, it snowballs from whatever tilt it initially showed. People be herds like that. They’ll dislike or disagree with something, but change that opinion once they see what “most” others think at that time. Even if it’s 2 Likes and 1 Dislike.

    And that is a fantastic pathway for engagement and ad revenue. “Markets” or market segmentation, are just our fancy terms for herds.

  • the 30-49 year olds and the 50-and-up brackets are more closely aligned, at 39 percent and 37 percent respectively viewing it as negative.

    I’m really surprised at the 30–49 bracket being at 39%. But, keep in mind there’s a huge gap in tech savviness and tech lifestyle between someone born in 1977 to someone born in 1996. Their impressionable years kicked off literally at opposite ends of the Digital/Tech revolution, so I guess that makes sense that way…
