Assuming AI can achieve consciousness, or something adjacent (capacity to suffer), then how would you feel if an AI experienced the greatest pain possible?...
I don’t know if the question comes from there but that’s the exact plot of White Christmas in Black Mirror. I’d say if you build something with the ability to suffer then its suffering matters. Not sure how you would prove that though.
I don’t remember the name but there was an energy bar with the flavor a specific juice that got really popular at some point when I was a kid. I think they suddenly discontinued it due to ingredients causing cancer. I had eaten so much of it that it was a bit worrying.
I swear there was a lollipop brand that looked like chupa chups or chupa chups themselves used to have a different flavor because they were the only lollipops I liked but can’t find them anywhere after leaving middle school so I guess they stopped making them.
Because it’s something you use a lot for small things throughout the day. When you need to quickly answer a message or look at a map you shouldn’t need to stop and place down everything you’re holding.
On Samsung devices there is an accessibility setting that gives a smaller one-hand screen when swiping down from the bottom bar. But that just feels like a waste of space when you could just have a smaller screen.
This is probably very subjective. I’d say I use my phone one-handed about 7/10 times and I’d do it more if I could. Actually I do most things one-handed when possible but I have small hands so phones are becoming an issue. There isn’t a specific reason, it’s just more convenient.
Also the opposite. Allow the user to specify that they want to see ALL languages, regardless of which ones their instance supports. It seems weird that navigating to an instance without being logged in shows all posts but when you’re logged in they get automatically filtered to the instance-supported languages.
For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/93fe0342-3c15-48e2-9ece-57b8182113c6.jpeg...
Any type of container that closes if it’s in good enough shape (bottles, jars, cardboard boxes, bags). Also small open containers like yogurt or instant soup cups are probably the most useful for holding small items/snacks. When they become too many, you pick the best of each and throw away the rest. I also tend to keep foam packaging even though I’ve never found an actual use for it.
Intros and outros had a distinct advantage in the television age, but their benefits are not as clear in the context of modern video and audio content consumption.
I do see one point specifically for outros and specifically for YouTube. It gives you enough time to click pause before automatically jumping to the next video on the playlist. But that’s more due to YouTube’s stupid behavior than an actual advantage.
I feel this is the way that best reflects how you look at an analog clock. First hours then minutes. It’d be interesting to know if the amount of people saying time the analog way depends on the system used.
I feel like every two years I need to call my carrier and complain if I want a decent deal. They will do things like upgrade my plan on their website to have 10 extra gigabytes of data but won’t upgrade me to it until I contact them. There’s also all the new member exclusive deals that I feel make it impractical to just sit...
The answers here are interesting. If I don’t change my mobile plan after it expires (2 years) and it gets renewed automatically it will get more expensive for the same service. Actually, if you want to keep getting a decent price, the best way is to completely change provider every 2 years.
Is one supposed to upvote posts that they dislike (as if it were “opposite day”), to show it’s unpopular? Or is the goal to get as many downvotes as possible to demonstrate the unpopularity? It would be nice if the community info included expectations for voting on unpopular opinions.
Since there is no karma on lemmy it does make sense to downvote when disagreeing because 1. many people will do that anyway without looking at the community, and 2. you don’t actually know how unpopular an opinion is until a bunch of people have voted. And maybe low effort posts can be ignored. I agree it would be nice to have a mention in the rules.
I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.
The good thing is GoPros are still good years later. Most of the action my GoPro 4 has seen was in the last 2-3 years after sitting for a really long time.
This post is going to sound very similar to my last one, but now I only want to make sure I can check-in online from my desktop, download both the qr code and boarding pass as a pdf file to my phone and then either board the plane showing my phone with the pdf boarding pass to the agent or use my phone and the pdf qr code with...
Every time I’ve checked in online the qr code is the boarding pass so there’s no need to go to the kiosk, they check it on your phone. But as the others said it may vary depending on airline or country. And you probably don’t need the app at all unless the website says otherwise.

Intros and outros in YouTube videos and in podcasts is useless and does not serve anything.
Intros and outros had a distinct advantage in the television age, but their benefits are not as clear in the context of modern video and audio content consumption.
I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace.
