Congrats on being the first response in the top twenty or so comments to not reference politics or religion lol

oh wait you did in the second part, oh well you get a pass. this whole thread is "Wedding like conservatives" which, like, yeah i get it, I don't either, but it's really boring to read

Just to be sure, have you lived at the same address for all these years? I haven't, so it's hard to compare then & now for me.

it does seem ironic, but the majority of profits going to the CEO paycheck is kind of the point!

 

I'm migrating away from lemm.ee and I want to open my Saved posts on lemm.ee, then open them on db0, and then save the posts on my db0 account.

But I can't figure out how to make the URL open via db0 instead of lemm.ee.

Any ideas? Thanks.

How does Reddit store IP addresses? I couldn't find a clear nor recent answer.

I recently saw a local community where commenters were getting subpoenas based on IP addresses. The post was >1 y/o by time of subpoena. Reddit of course complied and released IP addresses to the court.

But that makes me wonder: what if you moved house since making the comment? What if you moved INTO a place where the IP address was used by someone else to make the comment?? Is it based on your IP at time of commenting? Is it based on IP at time of logging in to that session? Or does the IP address of all my previous comments continuously update itself based on where I log in each time? What would appropriate VPN use look like when making potentially sensitive comments?

Thanks tech buds, LLL, bye

 

“The Olympics are a representation of the past,” D’Souza said. “They’re rooted in ancient Greece, and they have this amateurish, natural ethos that is run by a bunch of European aristocrats. The Enhanced Games are very different. They’re run by capitalists, who believe in the future, believe in science and technology.”

 

Ideally your answer is a sub that you are currently posting to but few others are posting to.

 

Listen. Y'all need to understand something. I know systemic issues are bad right now. But the constant posting of "I'm not supposed to be happy when society sucks!" needs to stop. This is supposed to be an affirming space with positive attitudes towards mental health and mental health treatment in general.

When you encourage others to STOP GETTING TREATMENT because society is bad?? You are posting anti-MH content.

When you say "It's not normal to be well-adjusted to a sick society", you are posting anti-MH content.

The point is not to be "happy". It's to find meaning, build a life worth living, make choices consistent with your values, and manage the stressors of a fucked up society more effectively so that you can actually do something about it.

But instead, I am seeing posters around here telling each other to drop out of therapy because what's the point with Trump in the white house. Are you freaking kidding me???

Please remember that the universe being harsh and society being awful has always been the default. It is our challenge to find a way to thrive in those conditions. If you still don't get it, I encourage you to look into the work of Viktor Frankl, a psychologist who drew from his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. The work of therapy begins with rising above the suffering. Not from turning away from it.

 
 
 

Help me understand Voice Recognition tech

I am interested in getting an app that would allow me to make notes via voice-to-text. I work in a field with HIPAA protections. I'm having trouble figuring out the nuances of privacy related to these apps.

First off, is this kind of software considered "AI"? How does it even recognize that a sound equals a word? Do they use LLM tech? Does the tech learn to recognize my voice better over time? Does it use my recordings to learn to understand other's voices? Is this all a black box? How can I take precautions such that no one except me hears the things I transcribe?

This is just such confusing tech! It seems like it's fairly old and common but the more I think about it in relation to current age AI, the more creeped out I get! And yet my doctor uses one regularly... I'll be asking her about it too, don't worry.

Thank you!

 

I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

"I wanna watch X, let's see if Netflix has it..."

*Opens webpage*

"Hmm... Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I'm just gonna say I'll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let's still confirm that Netflix doesn't have X..."

Next thing you know, I'm watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point....
