Never used Snapchat but there’s a lot of porn bots on social media. Not really sure where they come from but I guess it must be profitable and some gullible and horny people are falling for them because the bots haven’t gone away. It is very unlikely that a real woman would just be messaging random accounts with unsolicited nudes.

Unfortunately your nieces are probably getting similar bot spam. I don’t think it’s demographically targeted at all; they just seem to message everyone. I’ve gotten them as a woman on social media too (albeit a gay one, but I don’t think these bots are targeted at gay women lol, I think they’re targeting men). It might be worth trying to introduce your nieces to some fun hobbies so they don’t feel the need to spend so much time on Snapchat, but I get that it’s a social thing too and it’s hard to opt out if all the other kids are on it.

He’s not a cop anymore is he?

It’s basically bullying like you say. They enjoy the power they hold over a woman to be able to say degrading things about her without consequence.

This is not what you asked, but the only resource that immediate comes to mind is countercurrents’ list of every invasion the US has carried out compiled in 2013: https://www.countercurrents.org/polya050713.htm

I’m not sure if anyone’s compiled what you’re asking for. Of course the death toll of the US directly both contains events that pre-date NATO, and NATO contains countries other than the US.

4k bookmarks atm. Accumulated over multiple decades. I don’t dare look at some parts of my bookmarks, but they are still useful; I have folders I refer to regularly, and doing a bookmark search with * in Firefox helps me find a lot of things I want to return to.

Misogyny.

“Socialism” is used in a variety of ways. Inferring from OP’s question it seems like they are asking about a socialist mode of production, ie communism.

What happens if someone refuses to do any chores in a shared household? There are already plenty of situations where people do work for free because it’s in your own interests. In groups like households people take turns taking out the bins and cleaning. In a communist society people will take turns doing the necessary work. If someone refuses, maybe something is wrong in their life, and they need help. At the end of the day, there’s no economic coercion in a classless society. If one in a million people don’t work for no understandable reason (disability, depression, personal issues, etc) then let them. What else are you going to do? Work or starve? Incarceration? The point of the universal emancipation that communism brings is to do away with those evils.

Depends on what you define as “politics” but aside from “everything is politics”, my Lemmy feed is mostly tech stuff. Just subscribe to communities that fit your interests. That being said, many interests will be under-represented on Lemmy as I think the user base skews either technical or political or both.

If you haven’t already, I recommend Watchtower (nickfedor fork—the original is unmaintained) which automatically pulls updates to Docker containers and restarts them. Make sure to track latest, although for security updates, these should be backported to any supported versions so it’s fine to track an older supported version too.

Notesnook notebook with whatever info I need to be able to administrate the system. e.g. what different ports are used for and why the firewall policies are what they are, sometimes write-ups after a troubleshooting session, etc.

The Notesnook instance is self-hosted too, but if the server goes down, the notebook will still be available locally.

The relevance for me personally is whether or not they can be useful for programming, and if they’re accessible to run locally. I’m not interested in feeding my data to a datacentre. My AMD GPU also doesn’t support ROCm so LLMs run slow as fuck for me. So, generally, I avoid them.

LLMs consistently produce lower quality, less correct, and less secure code than humans. However, they do seem to be getting better. I might be open to using them to generate unit tests if only they would run faster on my PC. I tried deepseek, llama3.1, and codellama; all take like an hour+ to answer a programming question given that they are just using my CPU, as my GPU doesn’t support ROCm. So really not feasible for anything.

Depending on what you count as AI, I think some of the long-existing predictive ML like autosuggestions based on learning your input patterns are fine and helpful. And maybe if I get a supported GPU I won’t mind using local LLMs for some things. But generally I’m not dying to use them. I can do things myself.

I just cook normal meals and put them in tupperware and take them to work. Doesn’t work if you don’t have a microwave, but if you don’t have a microwave, I’m not sure what you could do other than sandwiches. So whatever you like to eat.

I imagine it would be the same protocol for any other instance of a dead person having debt, in whatever jurisdiction you’re in. ie could be taken out of life insurance, their estate, whatever.

Skirts are fairly common formalwear, at least for women. Are you a man? If not, I think any office job, receptionist job, etc, would be fine with you wearing a skirt. I imagine it’d only be some forms of manual labour where a skirt would get in the way.

Why would a bank make you not wear a skirt?

I was taught vosotros but I learnt in a country closer to Spain than to LatAm. I think they mentioned ustedes in later parts of the course but vosotros was the standard second person plural pronoun we were taught.

“Psyche” is a different word to “psych” in English. “Psyche” is a noun, pronounced “sye-kee”; “psych” is a colloquial/casual verb, pronounced “syke”.

I had always assumed it was humorously mis-spelling the word. Like people who would spell it “kool”.

My favourite unusual one is sichuan pepper powder on garlic bread. Originated in me rummaging through my spices for stuff to add to my garlic bread and I really liked this. I now add it to garlic bread, pizzas, that sort of thing.

Cumin is also a great all purpose spice I put on many things. Cumin+turmeric for curry-flavoured things, but also cumin+salt+pepper+rosemary+garlic granules for anything roasted.
