Tiktok?

Let me know when you’re ready to leave Plato’s cave children: https://youtu.be/VOYnq0heJ1c

Maybe, just maybe, if you don’t have any idea how any of this shit works you shouldn’t run off half cocked sounding alarm bells?

Each Lemmy site (instance) is a separate thing with its own admins. Underneath each instance, there are multiple communities, each with their own moderators.

Admins decide instance wide rules, and decide which other Lemmy instances they wish to federate with (host content from). Moderators decide on any additional rules within their own communities.

So… go to that post you linked to, use the report button. It will send a report to the community moderators, the admins of the instance it was posted on, and the admins of your own instance.

So, that’s a community on sopuli.xyz

Report it to their moderation instead of making three threads about it on lemmy.world using an 18 minute old account.

If you have reported it and gotten no response, post receipts.

I mean this softly, but I’m going to guess you haven’t used OneDrive recently, and haven’t used it where it’s been set up in a competent manner. The default settings absolutely are not conpetent, espiecally for how messy computers for personal use get.

My workplace uses OneDrive to sync a specific set of user profile folders so we approximate having profiles and files that follow us without everyone needing a personal folder on a network drive that mounts at login.

The only issues we’ve had are profiles auto-downloading too mant of peoples files and eating drives on shared machines (so you just have your meeting room computers wipe all profiles every reboot and schedule reboots nightly), and I’ve had some issues where OneNote hadn’t actually synced the notebook back to the cloud before I closed on one machine and opened on a different machine so I lost some notes.

Beyond that, it’s handled even situations where I have the same file open siniltaneously on multiple machines smoothly. Syncs between login on multiple machines take 3 minutes max, and I can force it faster if I really need by pausing and resuming the sync.

I’m sure there’s situations it’s still not suited for, like editing and syncing large monolithic files (think video files over 1GB a piece). It probably sucks big time on personal machines where you’re going to have a complete mess of every file type imaginable tossed in one big unorganized heap.

But configured correctly, for general business use, it can work very well.

I would be shocked if this hasn’t had some set of controls to disable it in Group Policy for months now.

This is just rent seeking against Home users.

People with One Drive through corporate Azure sjbscriptions (rather than the free “you have a microsoft login” tier) already have fairly robust controls available for handling and securing private data. There’s even special Azure tiers for government work that are even further secured.

This is only going to impact home users and conpanies without strong IT teams. Which is an egregious amount of people, don’t get me wrong. It’s also a horrible anti-consumer move. But this isn’t “Microsoft fucks over their golden calf: business users”.

You might like Mullet MadJack too, if you like frantic shooters with a “keep killing or die” element.

Completely different style, and no customization that I know of, it’s 90’s cyberpunk anime styled. Each level you have ten seconds until your heart stops. Each kill gets you more time, and flashier kills like melee finishers get you more, as in universe you’re doing some sort of livestream death game. At the end of each short level, in roguelike fashion, you get to pick one of a few randomly selected upgrades/powerups.

Look up some footage on youtube, it’s a lot cooler in motion than words can cover. But it’s definitely one to play with mouse and keyboard so you can do twitch movements fast.

I’m not quite sure what you’re on about.

In more concrete terms, I meant that my mother being a better parent to me than her parents were to her doesn’t make her a good parent.

Re:growth, it’s tough being in the middle though. My mom is definitely better than the stories she and her siblings have told me about how they were raised, but it sure as hell doesn’t mean she didn’t still leave me with a pile of issues and maladjustments that I have to work to keep from passing on to my daughter.

Unfortunately, better isn’t always the same as “how it should have been to begin with”.

Most of the people I’ve met who consider themselves “rockstars” are middling at best, and are pretty much led around by the nose by whatever latest fad they just studied/found learning material for/found sales material for.

They absolutely knew how to play office politics and games about appearances to execs (being able to spout a lot about whatever latest term is showing up in the financial magazines the execs read while not saying anything concrete helps a lot), but when push came to shove they were always trying to find ways to make their responsibilities everyone elses problem so they could play with some new toy while they left a trail of halfassed rush work and mountains of tech debt in their wake.

It’s theoretically possible to extract all the GPO effected registry keys from the ADMX files Microsoft releases, but yeah, I have serious doubts that any tool like this will be able to just detect and track every distinct setting. Let alone accurately identify what each does. I’m sure there’s at least one setting that’s been carried over from the “stuff it in an .ini in a system folder” days.

But if there is some community sourced list for settings, where they’re stored, and how they work that would be amazing!

AI is not looked upon kindly in most places on Lemmy, for good reason.

Far as your problem goes, learn how to read? The error message doesn’t have too much extraneous shit in it.

Ignore the start part, as that’s clearly talking about the HTML, the building blocks of the site.

Quota exceeded in ‘storySoFar’. Whatever it’s storing as storySoFar is too big. You aren’t the developer, but that’s a pretty clear variable name. The story so far exceeds the quota. The story so far is too big.

I swear, reading error messages shouldn’t be a god damn super power. I’ve never used this slop generator in my life, I just read your error message.

My work indicated that they would start expecting people to make use of Copilot. There’s been small errors in every answer Copilot has given me, but it has surfaced information and been able to accurately answer a few questions that would have taken me hours with Microsoft docs to find without knowing it in advance (I always confirm the data).

I can see the value in a natural language search engine. In being able to ask questions about documentation and software/system capabilities in natural language and get natural language answers.

But it makes too many errors to be reliable because it tries to be generalist instead of organizing concepts and tokens properly for the specific domain. It costs way too damn much for the not super impressive thing it actually does, and it only does that at a barely passable level.

I hate that me needing to use it for work for the sake of appearances only serves to normalize it to me and others, while adding to the inflated count of users.

My biggest complaint with BG3. So many act 1 battles feel like if you can’t take out at least one enemy each turn you just get ankle bit to death.

Like games on the playground: My sword is super strong! Well mine is stronger! My sword gets twice as strong as the strongest sword near it! Mine gets three times as strong as the strongest sword near it! Well since my sword keeps getting stronger than yours, its power becomes infinite! Well mine becomes infinite first!

But with tragedies.

I broke my toe while my life partner passed away! Well I broke my toe and my arm while mine died, and they never healed right! Losers, I dealt with all of that and tapeworms all at once! Well, my loved one had dementia, lost all memories of their loved ones, and I got a paper cut!

Feel like there’s some ripe ground there for a comedy sketch, or a Cyanide and Happiness Depression Week strip.

My bad, I’ll check again when I get home. Could have sworn it was available by default, but it might be a Pro/Enterprise version thing, or something I had to do through Group Policy (Pro/Enterprise unless there’s an underlying registry entry you can snag to apply to Home installs).

Either way, 100% agree that you should never have to jump through hoops for such a basic piece of functionality. It’s your machine, not Microsoft’s.

EDIT: Yeah, you’re right. Can pause updates for 35 days. You can keep resetting those 35 days indefinitely, but that’s some bullshit.

And it looks like all my fancy ways of disabling auto-restarts for updates are all Group Policy, so restricted to Pro and Enterprise versions. That’s some shit.

Protip: If you need Windows then go with the Pro version for the most config options against the bullshit, but don’t pay for it. Get a super discounted price from a licensed OEM license key seller, or just use MASGrave to spoof the license for free.

It comes from people being unwilling to learn how Windows works or how to configure it, but being 100% on board to tinker to hell and back with Linux. So you get a lot of innaccurate info from people who think their Linux skills confer some amount of knowledge with Windows when they never took the time to learn it as well, or when they haven’t used it outside of corporate controlled work machines (if they even encounter Windows that way) in half a decade.

There’s an argument (which I agree with to a point) that you shouldn’t have to learn how such a big paid product like Windows works in order to avoid frustrations, while it’s understandable in an open source thing like Linux distros. But it ultimately boils down to a combo of “Windows bad!” and learned helplessness when it comes to Windows that people are willing to push through for Linux.

What? You can easily turn updates off entirely during situations where that’s going on. It’s a single switch in the settings.

EDIT: Fucking hell, they changed it to just being able to turn off updates for 35 days. You can reset that countdown back to 35 days indefinitely, but that is some grade A bullshit.

Settings>Windows Update>Advanced Options, Then Pause Updates down at the bottom.

That’s also where you can find some settings for disabling auto-restart as well.

That would likely be the default settings trying to avoid times when you normally use the machine to install the update.

I suspect that in the near future, DNA tests will be done as a matter of course to test the baby for genetic diseases

This is pretty much the standard for IVF. You might be able to waive it, but it’s standard process to test for chromosomal abnormalities before implantation. You can extend that to test for other markers if you have money to burn.

Hopefully it becomes affordable and standard across the board.

He and his family were caught doing pretty serious charity fraud, iirc, amd he kept throwing out completely absurd excuses rather than owning up to it.

Entirely wrong youtuber. Sorry.
