Yes, but what I am saying is, everyone here at Lemmy.com.nz.ml has more in common with this lady than some normal person who wouldn't do sword yoga (lmao) or talk to a reporter about it. I, personally, am deeply cringe and would never talk to a reporter about my weird ass hobbies.
My comment was aimed at the folks posting "well acktually u don't use swords in yoga try a real martial art 🤓" or that one down voted person talking about karens, for some reason.
ITT: Lemmy nerds, some of whom definitely own swords they bought at renfair, dunk on some lady doing dumb shit with a sword.
y'all live in some glass houses
Yes, and Americans know this is true but they forget how it might change their perspective of the world.
Its like that old joke: two fish meet in the ocean. The first fish says "hey how are ya, how's the water?" And the second fish says, "what's water?"
Most of the people I know are working class and can't travel overseas for vacation (if they even can afford to have one). Seeing it on TV is completely different than experiencing it.
There exists cities where the streets are older than America itself.
The locals feel pressure to allow automobile traffic down these roads, and where space allows they generally do. It feels out of place.
I have been to cities like this. I have driven cars in places like this (i lived internationally for a while) and it doesn't feel right. I don't have money to travel now, but if I did, I would just walk.
There are cities that people still live in that predate the concept of street addresses and post offices and I have met them, and have had no idea what to put down on the bullshit forms at my bullshit job for their address.
The world is large.
Oh. I misunderstood. "Learn to swim" didn't read as a survival thing to me, I assumed it meant "swim quickly for sport" not "avoid drowning". I took it for granted not everyone knows how to do this.
The down votes are still funny.
This headline sucks.
They made a model of accounts that willingly linked their hackernews profiles to their linked-ins and made a model base on that (n= approx 990)
They could "deanonymise" about 67% of those accounts from that n=990 candidate pool (alpha=.1) using their model (they already knew who they were, otherwise how could they verify a correct match?).
When they threw in a bunch of accounts that had nothing to do with those first accounts (89k total accounts) accuracy dropped to around 55%-45% depending on choice of technique.
first thing, those hn accts they trained on weren't trying to be anonymous. They linked to their linked in profile. So, lie on the internet I guess
this is just a starting point anyway, cheap and fast. That's what to worry about. $1-$4 per account you're trying to doxx like this.
Just an interesting paper.
I love that two people felt the need to down vote you for this.
They need someone to review and tag the recorded footage to train AI models.
No moment is private when wearing these glasses. I'm glad they haven't caught on where I live.
I'd like to expand on this thought. Its been bothering me.
Even when we "lose" wars we Americans do not experience the destruction we impart on other nations.
We bombed a school. No american school children will die in this war, but Iranian children already have.
Americans will disapprove of this war but it will only affect them in limited ways, making large protests feel foolish when many are trying to scrape by to make rent, and we live under a dictator.
I don't know what there is to be done. It makes me sick.
Does that make sense to you? It's a bit complex, so I can understand if maybe that's a bit tough to fully comprehend.
Are you attempting to be condescending when you couldn't figure out whether it was New York city or New York state bringing the suit? How embarrassing for you.
Anyway, what valve is doing is supporting a nascent gambling scene involving 3rd party resales of loot box stuff, and the loot boxes themselves are basically gambling. Its not something that should be normalized. They are profiting off this and there are children involved. Normally I don't think "save the children" arguments have much weight to them but this is a solved problem: we regulate gambling industries.
Please understand: I use steam. I think its awesome. I'm hyped to play my steam games on Linux. But steam is in the wrong here imo.
And yes, there are bigger evils in the world, but this is still a worthwhile case. [Sentence redacted, privacy]. This shit is gambling and it needs regulation.
NEW YORK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - New York's attorney general sued Valve
First sentence of the article. The state of New York is suing valve.
Valve has customers in New York so they are allowed to do so, I imagine.
Idk are laws even real anymore?
Its the hoods the Ku Klux Klan wears
