this is such a cliché, short-sighted oversimplification that doesn't address the root of how individual physicians end up caught in these systems of apathy.

like yes capitalism is part of the problem but that's about as useful as saying, why is there climate change? capitalism! like sure, yes, but isn't there so much more to the story that can inform us on why the systems are the way they are, so that maybe we can address it? or i guess .ml users already have that answer, just start a global revolution and hope the winners care enough to fix it before all the survivors die of heat stroke dysentery and starvation, easy. capitalism. upvotes to the left.

Ahh yes the time traveler illusion. Vsauce did a great video on this. Often the styles we wear tell our age more than we realize. An old looking photograph looks old because the subject wears what old people tend to wear. (Among other factors.)

Our generation is just the pink spandex generation I guess?

Hm. Is this for linguistic curiosity? It seems like by "different perspectives" you are seeking political commentary. But I could recommend plenty of sources for hearing people speak English as a second language. Hell, I just found this one today: https://www.youtube.com/@InaYu2024 Seems to be a Japanese oncology pharmacist living in Canada. (Very slight accent, hard to place.)

I guess that just means you're not autosexual! Um, would that make you allosexual? The aces already nabbed that term

She said it during the VP debate in 2020, that's where most boomer dem moms are gonna know it from

I dont mean this as a “dunk” but more of a how neat is that

It's truly shameful that disclaimers like these feel necessary in this age of shitting on everyone else online. Lemmy users suck too.

Lol i was expecting to get a lot of downvotes for asking clarifying questions without having any opinions formed. The internet doesn't like that. ME SMASH!!

So... just to check my understanding, what you're saying is that whether or not cats can survive on a vegan diet, it doesn't matter? Right? You're saying that you decided the admins overstepped and you regret approaching ambiguity the way you did? I suppose that seems reasonable. There's plenty of misinfo all over Lemmy as is, and as such there's gotta be various ways we can handle it - from top-down bans to trusting the readers.

As for the diet stuff, what, are they using lab-grown meat? Is that the TLDR here?

EDIT: Guys I am just checking my understanding - maybe check your own if you think such a comment does not contribute to the discussion.

Thank you! Good communication tips. Sometimes I try to broaden my language to let it apply to more situations but I think it can just end up sounding detached and confusing.

 

살 and 쌀 are the same word

 

Hear me out. There's nothing innate to an object that makes it "food". It's an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that's edible "food". Does that make it a social construct?

Help me understand Voice Recognition tech

I am interested in getting an app that would allow me to make notes via voice-to-text. I work in a field with HIPAA protections. I'm having trouble figuring out the nuances of privacy related to these apps.

First off, is this kind of software considered "AI"? How does it even recognize that a sound equals a word? Do they use LLM tech? Does the tech learn to recognize my voice better over time? Does it use my recordings to learn to understand other's voices? Is this all a black box? How can I take precautions such that no one except me hears the things I transcribe?

This is just such confusing tech! It seems like it's fairly old and common but the more I think about it in relation to current age AI, the more creeped out I get! And yet my doctor uses one regularly... I'll be asking her about it too, don't worry.

Thank you!

 

I appreciate all the hard work you do, but this is a hard No for me. I can't use an app that forces me to view landscape gifs in portrait mode. Is a rotation button a feature you'd consider?

 

Someone told me to post this here and that's all I got to say.

My popular opinion is that I don't like this flavor of subcommunity

 
 

I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

"I wanna watch X, let's see if Netflix has it..."

*Opens webpage*

"Hmm... Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I'm just gonna say I'll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let's still confirm that Netflix doesn't have X..."

Next thing you know, I'm watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point....

No, I wont name the specific title. I don't want to break Rule 3. But I do want to understand why a movie or show can be so hard to find, because maybe that will lead me to understanding how to find things.

I am surprised how hard it is to find some titles. Maybe it's because the one I'm thinking of is an old title, 60s or 70s era. But it's extremely popular, even today. It's been on hopping around streaming services. One would think it would be readily available on the high seas too. I don't really know how one creates a torrent but I'm assuming anything that can be streamed can be captured. I guess maybe it's just not as popular as I think?

 
 
 

I just checked out Twitch again after a while and WOW has that site gotten shitty. But I'm trying to watch someone and really don't want ads every few minutes. Instead of paying Bezos to remove half the ads, how can I configure my uBlock Origin to block them all for free?
