Honestly? It’s probably cheaper and easier these days to do things like “auto-shutoff”, “temp display”, and “temp select” in software than to do it in hardware.

Is it ironic that ChatGPT is defending spez increasing API costs “to combat LLMs”?

Jailbait. There’s a bit more to the story though…mod invites were auto-approved at the time. But he seemingly embraced it, even if he didn’t directly acknowledge it.

Then the instance admin holds the private key and can still decrypt.

If you cared that much about privacy in DMs, we should have a “profile page”. Post a PGP public key there. Then you can send PGP encrypted messages to anyone who you have a public key for.

Yes (mortgage) but even that was a bit of luck/circumstance. I’m the only child of an only child…when my grandmother died I bought out her house from the estate at a really good price.

Stayed there for five years and poured in a bit of sweat equity.

When we sold it went for over double what we paid. Our new house isn’t anything special (4bed/1.5 bath, 1100sqft 1970s cape-style), but it’s already risen in value nearly 50% since we bought it.

We also refi’d last year. My wife wants to move back to RI and closer to family, but even a lateral move (similar home, similar neighborhood, similar value) would still cost much more than I’d want to pay due to the higher interest rates.

Honestly if it weren’t for my grandmother dying I’d probably still be renting. I have no idea how people afford down payments while also renting and living a life.

Especially in a HCOL area. We aren’t “truly” a Boston Suburb. We are outside the 495 belt and closer to Providence. Still doesn’t keep my modest house from being worth close to half a million now.

Honesty just make /home a different partition.

Has saved me so much trouble in changing distros on my laptop.

I’ve settled pretty well on Fedora at this point but that’ll probably change at some point (mostly because I don’t like Ubuntu much and I work in a mostly RHEL shop)

Kids in America usually enter a grade at age (grade + 5). Depends on when their birthday lands in some areas. For example, my kid was born in early September and the cutoff is Sept 1. His Kindergarten (grade 0) didn’t actually start until his birthday, so he entered at age 6.

Gah it's all docker container ps -a. OK, fine, history | grep "docker run".

Next time I'll put a file in the project directory that tells me how I ran it and .gitignore it. I promise. Next time.

Agreed. Between my wife and I we gross close to 200k. With a house in a Boston Suburb and 2 kids, it’s solidly middle class. Certainly a far cry from rich.

I think that’s far from Tesla money. I drive a 10 year old VW (Passat) and she drives a 4 year old Honda (Odyssey).

WebMD said I had cancer because my feet touch the ground when I’m standing and I go blind when I close my eyes.

I mean to say the maximum amount of communities a user can moderate.

Give a low limit to start, then gradually increase the number of communities that a user can mod.

If I understand things correctly (as I and so many others here are new to lemmy), this all comes down to the discretion of the instance admin anyway. I think we’re all just contemplating “default” rules.
