You posted a "meme" that explicitly calls them "cishet boys". If that's not what they are don't call them that. Transitioning isn't what make someone trans. Being trans makes someone trans.
The meme implies people can be convinced to be one or the other, when I'm pretty sure even you agree it's a matter of discovering who someone was all along.
I can confirm that I'm not autistic, afaik I'm a plain cis white guy with a probably neurotypical brain.
My "bot" is a set of automation tools I wrote that let me turn my fanart collecting hobby into posts that get posted at a constant trickle instead of a flood. I do see and verify every post before they go into the queue.
My real quirk is my commenting habit. I was already an avid reddit commenter before finding lemmy, but over here something puts it into overdrive. I think it's because discussion here is just higher quality and more respectful (at least in the subs I frequent). Plus its small enough that the comment section is not as much of a popularity contest. I've averaged 10 comments a day for two years now... That's normal. Right?
Also hello. Haven't run into you much since the start of !gameart@sopuli.xyz.
Dating an LLM would be like dating a pathological liar.
Literally none of the words it produces have a single unit of honesty. Any true fact produced by Gemini is essentially coincidental, and must be tested and verified before application. I can't imagine a single person who knows how this stuff works being able to consider a "relationship" with one to be "real".
That companies mislead people about this tech to such an extent that they are able to feel there's a "mind" on the other end that is capable of returning their feelings in any shape or form, is beyond predatory.
HuniePop is a comedic masterpiece I will actually be upset about if it's disappeared.
This group is nuts. Wanting to ban Detroit Become Human because it depicts child abuse is completely insane. That's like solving sex trafficking by making it illegal to mention it.
The difference, like the other commenter already pointed out, is whether you take something across a border, and then leave it there.
If you take the stuff you brought with you, back when you leave, then you didn't import it. Import tax is exactly that, a tax on stuff moving from one country, to another. If you bring it in, and then out again, nothing changed.
As such personal items aren't subject to this, because the owner is comingandleaving with them. Technically there's a whole song and dance that should happen when you come and go, but that's massively inefficient, so customs will just sit there and trust that if you have something to declare, you will.
And a lot of the time people don't. Like a phone they bought while abroad. That's technically something you need to pay for, but it's not that harshly enforced. It just doesn't matter compared to the import taxes collected for large commercial shipments.
I'm having trouple parsing this comment into a sentence that makes sense. You don't penny pinch e-waste? What?
Either way, a lot of people won't think about this in terms of mere monetary value. Every bit of plastic counts.
And that's before considering that not everyone can afford to make trivial purchases. And even if you can afford it, I can't imagine making purchases without thinking about it beyond whether I have the money. That some people don't think past that, contributes to tons of problems.
I could easily afford a more convenient and smaller GaN charger to replace the one I got with my Deck, but it wouldn't really bring me any new value. Every cent I'd spend on that purchase would be more efficient when used for something else.
If not for my needs, then someone elses.
People care. And they should. You bother me, because behind your comments, is the suggesting that we shouldn't. To you, one less piece of waste is "not worth it". That's wrong.
So you're saying buy the US one, throw the charger that comes with it in the trash, then buy another?
Wasteful.
I didn't have a USB PD charger that went above 15W until the one that came with my Deck. I use it as a slightly slightly faster phone charger, too.
And no, the vast majority of new ones do not go above 20W, either. It just checked. Sure they all work, but your claim that "any" charger hits 60W is complete nonsense.
My dad reading "Moominpappa at sea" to me one chapter a night as a bedtime story, is seared into my mind.
You might start with book 7. "Tales from moomivalley" as it is a collection of short stories, one of which is "The invisible child"-story that was adapted for the TV series. It's essentially a story about child abuse, as it tells the story of Ninny, a girl who has ceased to be visible. She was abused by her guardian to the point she wished she'd cease to exist, and that is essentially what has happened, as she can be neither seen nor heard.
The Moomin family take her in and begin her recovery, by basically being kind to thin air.
The other books follow a loosely chronological order, and are full-on novels.
That makes a cell much more sensitive, since a smaller change in the charge is required to change the stored value. As opposed to an SLC cell which would simply be empty or charged depending on whether it's storing a 1 or a 0.
Good SLC nand should be able to store stuff for a decade just fine, if not longer. This is what'll be in any decent USB drive, as they're intended to spend the vast majority of their time unpowered.
QLC nand uses 16 different charge levels to store 4 bits per cell. That means a 1/16 change in charge would start corrupting data. PLC is in development, and will use 32 levels to store 5 bits. This'll be in your budget multi-terabyte SSDs.
Temperature also plays a role. The nand cells will lose charge at different rates at different temperatures.
You'll want to consult the specs of whatever drive your looking at. The variance is huge. From some drives needing a firmware level "data-refresh" that's constantly keeping the data from disappearing (people seeing bit-rot was a problem with some drives back when TLC first became common), to stuff that's fine for decades.
