Didn't even know 'legacy admissions' were a thing.
Higher education is truly a scam.

The thing is, Israel is seen as 'strategic' to Western (mostly US) interests in the region.
Having a haven for Jews doesn't make sense when they're surrounded by enemies. If people really cared about the safety of Jews, they would have pushed to establish communities in the US.

everyone whose data this was trained on should be included as authors if its not just public domain
Weird how we make this rule only apply to computers.
I doubt any human artist would make the exact same works as they have if they were not influenced by the art that they were.

Glad they have all this excess to use against the people that gave it to them.
Glad the people that gave it to them gave it to them instead of helping out those who actually need it.
Great world.

Is it because they disagree with you? I've found way more intelligent conversations and fewer memes on Lemmy compared to reddit.

It's really up to you. Are you cool with it? If not, then don't marry her. If so, then do.

I think Ubuntu made sense back in the day when Debian wasn't as user-friendly.
Now that Debian is, it looks like Ubuntu is trying really hard to just be as commercialized as possible.
I still don't understand the logic behind their paying for updates for certain programs when Debian doesn't require it.

Our senators are worthless leeches that only exist to argue over problems that will never get solved.
Let's see them implement policies that actually benefit the average American instead of just their ruling class.
They all wear nice suits.

I don't want to be notified everytime I get a reply to one of my posts. Is there a way to turn this off?

I think that money could be used for better things by people who actually need it.
Edit: Or it can be used to buy these people new SUVs, yeah.

Culture, which can change.
I want to install Debian directly onto my USB drive. Is there an easy way to do this directly without having to reboot to run the installer?
Seeing all these videos of soldiers dying and getting injured, it makes me wonder if the field medics carry morphine to ease their suffering.
I have one of those basic motor kits you can buy off of Amazon. I was wondering what steps I should take to make it so that I can turn the motor on/off with the press of a button, wirelessly. I'm still very new, so any information you can offer no matter how basic will probably be useful to me.
I'm noticing a stark decline in the quality of bluetooth products lately (interference, disconnecting, dubious sound quality), and I'm curious if I can figure out what's going on. Are there any good books for learning about the Bluetooth technology used in generic PS4 controllers? I'm not sure if that's bluetooth LE or classic or 5.0, but that's where I would like to start. Any books or online resources just to get my foot in the door would be greatly appreciated.
The controller I'm using shuts off after about 5 minutes of idle time. I tried adjusting the value in Steam, but it doesn't have any effect. Does anyone know where this value may be stored or how I can change it to be *much* longer?
I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.
So, apparently the chrome/geckodriver processes will terminate on their own if the user sends ctrl+c to the console. It will *not* terminate on its own if the program finishes running naturally. If you're interested in terminating it on your own, like I also was, here is how I went about it. ``` use std::process::{Child, Command}; fn main() { let mut s = Server::default(); s.start(); s.shutdown(); } struct Server { child: Option<Child> } impl Default for Server { fn default() -> Self { Self { child: None } } } impl Server { fn start(&mut self) { self.child = Some(Command::new("./chromedriver") .spawn() .expect("ls command failed to start")); } fn shutdown(&mut self) { input(None); // wait for input so you can observe the process self.child.as_mut().unwrap().kill(); self.child.as_mut().unwrap().wait(); println!("shutdown"); } } pub fn input(prompt: Option<String>) { let mut input = String::new(); match prompt { Some(prompt) => println!("{}", prompt), None => () } io::stdin().read_line(&mut input).expect("Failed to read input"); } ```
