Good. Create a real libertarian party. Divy up the lunatics.

You don't have to feel bad about being nervous. I did. It's not unlikely you'll be the only one in that line who decides to opt out. What happens if something goes wrong? Everyone else will be pissed at you. Turns out it's not a big deal. You just ask and there's one less thing they have to do.

What recourse do we have otherwise? Sure it's unlikely to change anything, but it doesn't cost anything either.

Domestic flights within the united states still require an id. They recently (in may iirc) require you use a "real id". I guess those are harder to conterfeit, but still they strengthened the traditional id requirement recently, so I expect that to remain the standard, at least for a while

What constitutes 'selling' user data? (lemmy.ml)
 

The other day I was using firefox on a public. On my computer creating a new tab creates a blank tab, but this one it showed 'Suggested by Firefox'. One of the links was interesting, so I clicked on it. Would this be considered user data that would be sold? Some clarification from Mozilla about what constitutes selling user data would be great.

How much do you tip at a restaurant? (lemmy.ml)
 

To those who live in or who have visited the United States.

Growing up in the 90's, the "minimum acceptable" tip was 10%, average was 15%, and a good tip was 20%. These days, I just round to the nearest dollar and tip 20%, but I've heard these days it's not unusual to tip up to 40%!

What do you usually do?

Can you self-host AI at parity with chatgpt? (lemmy.ml)
 

My office computer has a Ryzen 7 5700, RX 580x, and 32gb of ram. Running ollama with deepseekv2 or llama3 is much slower than chatgpt in the browser. Same with my newer, more powerful home computer.

What kind of hardware do you need to run with comparable responsiveness to chatgpt? How much does it cost? Presuming such hardware is commercial, where do you find it?

WTF is going on with TikTok? (lemmy.ml)

The sequence of events as far as I can recall:

  • Trump promised to ban TikTok
  • TikTok was slated to be "banned" in the twilight of Biden's term
  • Trump says he'd give it 90 days to make a decision
  • Biden decides not to ban it, handing it off to Trump
  • TikTok goes dark
  • It returns, but if you search for something anti-Trump in the United States, you can't find it
  • Using a VPN will give you that content
  • Various news outlets are now calling it Trump's "Propaganda Arm"

What the fuck is going on? From a political or technological standpoint.

Do you broadcast your neurodivergence? (lemmy.ml)
 

I keep the details of my idiosyncrasies to myself. Folks with ADHD often tell others explicitly.

To my kindred 'special' people, do you tell others specifically what makes you different, or do you keep it to yourself? Why?
