Is the joke that elephants are afraid of mice?

I don't get it

I agree with this sentiment but I don't see it actually convincing anyone of the dangers of AI. It reminds me a lot of how teachers said that calculators won't always be available and we need to learn how to do mental math. That didn't convince anyone then

Maybe I'm eating and would rather keep my hands free. Or doing anything where'd I'd like to keep my hands free

I'm one of those people ... I always thought, if it's reasonable to have a conversation with someone physically there, at a reasonable talking volume, why does it matter if I'm doing the same on my phone?

Obviously if it's obnoxiously loud that's a different story

You can reinstall a driver without ever touching the command line on windows.

Can you do that with Linux? Idk maybe on some distros but the default would just be to uninstall the package from terminal.

Pretending these are equivalent is not cool and it just drives new users away for not understanding things the community takes for granted. It takes effort to learn the terminal if even tech-savvy windows users may not even use the command line

 

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for ideas for a non-processed meat that goes well with breakfast. In the past, I had bacon, eggs, and maybe some oats or a salad. I cut the traditional bacon, and now have either beans or turkey bacon as my "breakfast meat". But, turkey bacon is still really high in sodium (and is a processed meat) and beans just don't satisfy that meat craving sometimes. And substituting a different meat has been kinda hard; chicken breast, while unprocessed, just doesn't go well with breakfast.

So, I just wanted to know what other people do for breakfast, if they struggle with this dilemna, and any feedback the community has.

Thanks!

This is bad for the health of lemmy though, I think. A discussion board/framework should be politically neutral, while still employing rules on hate speech based on the voice of the masses.

If you want to talk hate speech, I've seen numerous accounts on lemmy instances of people advocating for murder or other violence against "billionaires" or anyone with a significant wealth. Or same with right-wing ideals, I've seen users advocating similar broad calls for violence based on pretty poor assumptions against the entire right-wing USA block.

I previously had a truck, but had to get rid of it once it started having some engine issues. I lived in the city, so I figured I could make do with a sedan.

Boy do I miss my truck. I never really realized how much I needed it in big-city,USA, but it sure is apparent now. Plenty of times I need to haul something for work, or sometimes pop a curb to set up some tabling stuff, or even just hauling my bike for hitting some trails. My next car is probably going to truck, hopefully something small that is fuel efficient and easy to park. I just don't want to give up having the convenience of a bed that can haul heavy, messy stuff, it's too convenient for me

Howdy! I am planning to move to the southeast part of Michigan around this new years. I am excited to get out of my state and see what other parts of the USA have to offer. But one thing that really worries me, and that I wanted to reach out about, is the winters in the north.

I'm moving from Texas, so for the most part, snow or ice is rare, and it usually meant the whole city shut down for a few days if it happened that year. And now I need to coordinate a moving truck up to Michigan, which from what I know, snow is to be expected? Do y'all have any tips for dealing with this?

I'll also be moving into a suburb area, is there anything I need to know about that? I've heard shoveling snow is kinda important, is that true? How often do you need to shovel snow?

Thanks y'all

Can I just add a different perspective on this?

My dad is really old (like early baby-boomers), and I am basically the in-family tech support when the home computer starts acting strange.

Well, right after google rolled out this update, my dad clicked on what he thought was an online shopping link. It was actually an ad for a toolbar add-on. ~~Queue~~ Cue like 6+ hours trying to uninstall that add-on and the bundled software.

I never had to worry about that in the past with him because I had u-block origin installed. Now I need to find something else that can run quietly in the background. And probably a better antivirus.

 

Hello everyone! I wanted to start meal prepping this month for lunch. I'm trying to cut down on my sodium, and I found my deli sandwiches are a big source of that. This weekend I'll be trying to make a sandwich from shredded chicken. At the moment I'll be using this recipe: https://livesimply.me/prep-day-how-to-make-easy-crock-pot-shredded-chicken-using-a-whole-chicken/

If anyone has any meal prep ideas for lunch, please share! I am tired of cooking everyday, I want thr convenience of a quick microwave meal without all the salt and extra stuff.
