I’m not a scientist/astronomer but my beste guess would be that stuff is named based on the instrument/telescope that found it first and some number or based on survey project names. There are so many objects we discover, anything “more sophisticated” would probably be too much work. If something turns out interesting later it might get additional names or a nick name.
Why not save a step, fuck bitlocker, and use veracrypt to encrypt your drive in the first place?
I hereby also announce $100 billion in support of Ukraine. Announcements aren’t worth much.
Try using the on screen keyboard with Firefox. On so many extensions the keyboard just doesn’t work (concrete example: tampermonkey code editor). And it’s not like it doesn’t work at all - you can insert new characters but backspace and new line is broken.
Now try OSK on Windows - never had a single issue that it doesn’t work where a real keyboard would have worked.
To make a shortcut on your desktop on windows. Right click element -> shortcut on desktop. To change arguments: right click shortcut -> Properties. Done. Now try to explain how gnome does it in a comment 🤣
I get what you are saying and maybe I’ll find some time to do that, but I hope you also see the irony in an answer like that, because the typical user couldn’t care less about Gnome vs KDE.
To be fair, if you listen to bad advise from chat-bots you have probably already lost. I know there are vulnerable people were that’s easier said than done, but even before Chat-GPT, the internet already was a completely toxic place, where other people, that never saw or knew you, tell you to just kill yourself.
So yes, there are a lot of real issues with LLMs, but people following clearly idiotic advice from a bot (that’s also clearly marked as such), is a non-issue in my book.
I meant “c” pronounced like “see”. Like c u as in “see you”.
Who is surprised about that? It’s literally in the name … c BS news
Microslop hits again.
But that also means that you are way less anonymous and many people don’t even know that. Interactions that are typically “anonymous” (except of course to the platform owner) on other platforms like up/down voting is completely public on lemmy. Everybody can just “tap” the feed and see what you upvote and downvote - it’s basically heaven for data collectors and advertising companies.
I think the biggest problem Europe has (besides too weak military) is how slow this freaking bureaucratic apparatus is.
Something happens - countries start to discuss how to react, weigh pros and cons, discuss again, Hungary votes against - discuss again… oh it’s 2028 already.
I might get downvoted for that, but I think Europe should start working closer with China.
Two be fair many other countries have the same issue but it doesn’t have such horrendous consequences because they don’t have a two party system.
IMHO countries that claim to be democracies should switch to Lottocracy anyway. That’s the only way we end up with decision makers that don’t just do stuff to get voted again.
I probably hate Microsoft roughly as much as most people here but in a lot of ways Windows is way more polished than Linux. The second you try something “unconventional” in Linux the shit is going to hit the fan. Fractional scale DPI - half the apps crap their pants. On screen keyboard - and don’t get me started with OSK over Firefox in kiosk mode (for example in touch screen settings). Also try to make a custom shortcut on your gnome desktop to run some application with some arguments without writing config files in random directories you have to Google and reloading some configs via a terminal.
Microsoft really went downhill fast and certainly adds a lot of crap to windows lately, but sadly in the Linux world we don’t have 1-3 well polished distros, we have hundreds of them. All good at one or two things, but suck at everything else. There a so many options the choice alone is probably the biggest reason everyday people will not switch to Linux if their device doesn’t already come with Linux. Even people thinking about switching end up with analysis paralysis because everybody tells them stuff like, try it - if you don’t like it try something else. As if they have nothing better to do than trying Linux distros all day long.
Donald Trump is a symptom, not the problem. About half of US citizens voted for that clown. Twice! Unless people fight for change - away from the two party system, you will always have the situation that people vote “for their team” like it’s some kind of sport. People are emotionally attached to their team (both sides).
Even better idea than voting would be Lottocracy, but that’s very hard to implement because a government would have to make laws that would make most politicians obsolete.
Ad for an ad-blocker. Genius 🤣
The car is bad because of it’s inherent design flaws and bad UX.
Robo Taxi, “not so full self driving” and similar things don’t make the car bad but show the practices Tesla uses to lure people into buying a car. By promising features they can’t deliver. Same with Tesla Semi, new Roadster, etc.
About hating Elon. Hate is a strong word but he is clearly a faschist moron. That doesn’t make cars technically bad but I’d like to hear some arguments how a moron being in charge helps the company make better cars.
And regarding science, there are some papers that show that cars with screens are way less safe because you have to look away to interact with it and that “glorified cruise control” too because you should pay attention because the car has too many flaws but in practice people stop paying attention.
But to be fair nobody does anything from scratch. Most people were in school at least for a few years. If you code, you’ve probably read a lot of code and documentation, if you draw you probably saw a lot of drawings, if you play chess you probably studied a lot of different games.
