Lemmy.ml is **much** snappier after the recent upgrade
  • Sounds exactly like the problem I fixed and mostly caused

  • Neuralink looks to the public to solve a seemingly impossible problem
  • Submit your algorithms under GPL

  • Artificial Refugium rule
  • Which country?

  • I'm with McCoy here

  • How I taught my classmates about libre software
  • I wanted my presentation to be the most interesting one

  • How I taught my classmates about libre software

    In economics class, we had to present a business plan. Mine was a coding summer camp for kids. I said the mission was "creating a generation of people who can work towards a bright future for the world." In the slide that lists aspects of supporting that mission, two items were "libre software" and "contributing" These were my verbal explanations:

    Libre software: "...teaching the vision of a world without non-libre software and encouraging kids to work towards it by only making libre software, which means software that grants freedoms to users, such as seeing and changing the source code, so it is controlled by users instead of just companies..."

    Contributing: "...and briefly introducing the process of creating and submitting contributions to code, which many libre software projects in the real world accept from anyone."

    (Slideshow style is Steve Jobs + frutiger aero)

    Convenient horrors
  • Nope I do NOT wanna get high one night & see my fridge chasing me

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowban
  • https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk-jr-claims-doctor-parasite-ate-part-brain/story?id=110027317

    Doctors interviewed by ABC News clarified that these types of parasites don't actually eat brain tissue. Rather, they absorb nutrients passively before dying.

    According to doctors interviewed by ABC News, an infection like this could lead to seizures, which could potentially cause short-lived memory problems as Kennedy described, but most patients would mount a full recovery.

  • he also has admitted to have decreased cognitive function and memory problems because of the brain worms.

    How to download Google Docs version history (easy way, doesn't include how to use the downloaded file)

    Run this javascript code with the document open in the browser: https://codeberg.org/dullbananas/google-docs-revisions-downloader/src/branch/main/googleDocsRevisionDownloader.js

    Usually this is possible by pasting it into the Console tab in developer tools. If running javascript is not an option, then use this method: https://lemmy.ca/post/21276143

    You might need to manually remove the characters before the first { in the downloaded file.

    How to download Google Docs version history (hard way, doesn't include how to use the downloaded file)
    1. Copy the document ID. For example, if the URL is https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Asz8elLzwppfEhuBWg6-Ckw-Xtfgmh6JixYrKZa8Uw/edit, then the ID is 16Asz8elLzwppfEhuBWg6-Ckw-Xtfgmh6JixYrKZa8Uw.
    2. Open this URL: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/poop/revisions/load?id=poop&start=1&end=1 (replace poop with the ID from the previous step). You should see a json file.
    3. Add 0 to the end of the number after end= and refresh. Repeat until you see an error page instead of a json file.
    4. Find the highest number that makes a json file instead of an error page appear. This involves repeatedly trying a number between the highest number known to result in a json file and the lowest number known to result in an error page.
    5. Download the json file. You might need to remove the characters before the first {.

    I found the URL format for step 2 here:

    https://features.jsomers.net/how-i-reverse-engineered-google-docs/

    I am working on an easy way. Edit: here it is https://lemmy.ca/post/21281709

    Lemmy exists to provide something to do while waiting for Lemmy to compile
  • Incremental compilation feels like 1-2 minutes

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
  • I don't care about people knowing the kernel

  • maybe the woke was inside us all along
  • I usually choose toilet instead of urinal

  • Sailing the high seas
  • Just watch youtube poops

  • Idea: Khan Academy variant called 4khan

    Someone should make a variant of Khan Academy with the same content (which is under Creative Commons) but no non-libre software, call it 4khan, and list the "4 essential khans" (you khan run the program as you wish for any purpose, etc.) on the homepage

    Battery bulging (probably not true)

    Devices usually don't monitor for battery bulging and warn of the fire hazard. Maybe this feature is intentionally omitted to increase deaths for people who don't replace the devices frequently enough, which is poor people and people who have a low consumption level that corporations don't like.
