Sorry if it came out wrong, I meant the instance I use. I don't run it.

My instance, for the most part, doesn't ban anyone.

I think they're talking about the unencrypted footage uploaded by Eufy (a subsidiary of Anker) security cameras to their own servers without express permission of the owners.

That's what happens when you elect stupid and greedy people to power. This nation treats greed like a virtue, it's fucking crazy.

Yeah, from what I see, professors get their salary i.e. the money for living expenses from their teaching job. But most of the research money comes from grants. Those are usually earmarked so that they can only spend it for very specific purposes.

Edit: This is only true for people who need to run labs. For subjects like math or philosophy, professors depend less on grants since most of their work is done without significant expenses. But they still do need grants for travel and organizing conferences.

If anecdotal evidence means shit, let me add mine too. I grew up (yes, me, not my parents, or grandparents) in a communist state in India, and it was great lol. Does that now mean that I get to deny all the legitimate criticisms of the system or that particular government? No. That's not how it works you dumbasses. People give too much credence to anecdotal experience, even though it's the most unreliable of all.

Okay, tough guy. Maybe you should start taking a shower after your workouts.

Also, out of shape people have the right to be kinky too.

I'm sorry but I'm frustrated by the blatant misuse of AI by my students and colleagues alike. It's so obvious when they don't understand what they've written.

Sure, playing chess needs intelligence, dedication, and good chess players are smarter than an average person. But it's waaaay exaggerated in movies. I'm a math researcher, and in any movie, my department will be full of chess geniuses. But in reality, only about 10% of them even play chess.

I'm trying to pull manual shots from my Breville Bambino, and it simply isn't working. I'm following the steps in the manual. (Press and hold the double-shot button for pre-infusion, then release it for the extraction to start, and then press again to stop.) The issue is, the machine stops midway, before I press the button. Seems like it's doing the pre-programmed double shot volume, and stopping after that. Does anyone has experience pulling manual shots from this machine? Should I contact Breville for a repair?

Edit: It fixed itself after performing a factory reset.

I accidentally had my forgejo instance open for registration. When I noticed it, there were tons of fake accounts open, with empty repos opened for each account. All of them had emails associated with them. They might've just been trying to annoy me, or maybe there was some plan to be executed later, since they'd have access to basically free storage, without any tracking.

In any case, I have cleaned all of it, and now have a list of 19311 usernames and emails. Maybe I can submit these somewhere for a spam filter? Idk, just curious if there's any point in keeping this list.

Here's the list.

Come on, it was right in their name. CrowdStrike. They were threatening us all this time.

Anon thinks speaking and writing in a language is all there is to do in a bachelor's degree. You literally have to read thousands of pages of literature, and need to be able to analyze those pieces critically.

Guys, is lying allowed on the Internet? I'm starting to think that Anon never even set foot in a college.
