A United Nations conference is scheduled to meet in one month

The lack of urgency here is unbearable. How many more kids will die over this one month?

That’s true! I supposed it would be more precise to say that all processes are files loaded to memory, but not all files loaded to memory are processes. Sort of like the whole arachnids / spiders situation.

I’d call that a file loaded to memory

As I assume most of you are aware

I most certainly was not! After some searching, I found an article about Synology’s new restrictions on which hard drives can be used in Synology’s NASs.

A few important notes:

1. This is a completely bullshit decision on Synology’s part. Unacceptable, and a total overreach.
2. This only applies to new DiskStation/RackStation models, so if you already have yours, you should be fine — as far as I can tell.
3. The internet has responded with a “hack” already: https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db?utm_source=syndication&pubDate=20250505

A prediction: This is a scream test. Within a month, Synology will walk this back. They’ll make some excuse about it taking time to test other hard drive brands for compatibility. They’ll claim that they never intended to prevent you from using whatever hard drives you want, that they just needed to make 100% sure everything was perfect first, and that they always had your best interests at heart.

This will all be a lie, of course. The real plan is to measure how loud their biggest customers scream about this change. And then, maybe a year or two from now, they’ll quietly update a user agreement or a warranty document to reduce coverage for NASs that use third-party hard drives. Maybe they’ll add some extra “safety features” to DSM for third-party hard drives (of course with the intention of keeping you safe) that will cause a “minor” performance hit.

I’m sure that if you subscribe to DSM Premium for a reasonable monthly fee, all of your problems will be solved.

I can’t believe these holocaust survivors are so antisemitic!

I had to look it up, and after reading a lengthily Wikipedia page on Greek mercenaries, I tried the second result: an XKCD comic I’ve seen before but had forgotten. So today, I’m one of the lucky 10,000 again.

I mean, it’s pretty easy to see “JD Vance” and a word that looks strikingly similar to “Trump”, and infer the meaning of that word to be some sort of a joke version of “Trump”.

I didn’t get the reference, but I do have basic reading comprehension.

TIL I learned

BRB right back, I need to use the ATM teller machine but I forgot my PIN identification number.

Every accusation is a confession.

Objective truth.

I hope that [email protected] is an exception!

I always called it “in-gen-ix”, which doesn’t even make sense now that I think about it.

The fediverse just doesn’t have the audience nor ease of use to be the smart investment for most people, at least in the short term.

In the long term, I believe the fediverse would be the right move. However most people struggle to think long-term outside of their own fields, and scientists are not immune to this phenomenon.

I maintain that this was made purely as an income stream for registrars. Every single company and brand should be rushing to buy companyname.sucks. Every town buying yourtown.sucks. Every political candidate getting into bidding wars over candidate.sucks or opponent.sucks.

For whatever it’s worth, I appreciate your efforts very much @[email protected]

Yes it’s a bad thing. This legislation gives very broad power to the federal government to ban apps and platforms without any oversight. It might be TikTok today, but it could be Lemmy tomorrow.

Fair. We’re using 4o and o1-mini right now, because access to the full o1 is waitlisted in Azure. However based on some brief review of their pricing for o1, I’d say we’re still going to save a metric fuckton of money compared to per-user subscriptions.

First I laughed, but now I’m seeing the genius.
