Amazing car. A friend of mine has a Chevy SS that he changed over the exterior to all Holden badges. Gorgeous inside and out. It's a shame they never intended to sell or even market these because they're awesome.

I've heard that if your car needs to run in the dyno with the hood open then the numbers you're putting down are likely artificial (since that's not how cars drive down the road). Make sure that shop isn't just touting good numbers with the hood open. Hold them to the numbers you put out with the hood closed.

That's how I feel. It's a shit car. Is Danny going to be able to do better? Alpha Tauri hasn't exactly been topping the rankings, and seems to have gotten worse of late. It feels like they're being a bit too cutthroat on with this decision.

I don't think it's wrong to recreate a beloved community, and I think it makes sense to also populate it with content. I just think that posting a copy of Reddit is a problem, and automated posts too often are also not good. At that point you're trying to force the community into existence rather than having it be organic. I think it's okay to boost the community a bit, but not to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit.

I will say that Lemmy in general seems very Reddit-like, which is what causes people to try to make Lemmy the new Reddit, so I'm not surprised that people are just trying to migrate subreddits to communities here. I think Lemmy needs a bit more of an identity to avoid that.

From the article I had read in Perplexity, it was all built around OpenAI, so I'd assume the regular search is GPT-3 or GPT-3.5, and copilot is GPT-4.

Perplexity uses ChatGPT, but I trust it a bit more because it cites its sources. So I'd say it counts since the model is GPT-3 and GPT-4.

Yeah. Lots of communities seemed to have NSFW vs NSFL to distinguish porn from gore, respectively. I agree with that distinction.

That assumption is predicated on law enforcement being willing to publish statistics on their actions. You can't have this work without that. Considering how often SWAT teams are unnecessarily used and the military tactics they employ, the results will be unflattering to police departments.

Of course they don't want their time wasted, but they won't trade transparency and accountability for it.

I've also been curious about it. Enjoying Lemmy and Kbin, but wouldn't mind the ability to interact on Tildes, if somebody has an invite.

Forgive me, but I'm going to give you a "non-answer". The reason is that depression is very personal, and you should probably only get advice on your specific situation by a licensed therapist. Even a licensed therapist isn't good enough for some people, and they'll need to find the right therapist, and even then they may require medication.

With that out of the way, I'll tell you that you probably need to forgive yourself a bit more than you currently do. If you're high strung, rigid, and tend to be harsh with yourself for failure (which only makes depression worse, especially when you end up feeling down while beating yourself up over it), then the only way to break that cycle is to be genuinely forgiving with yourself. What some people have said is pretend it's not you in the situation, but a friend. What advice would you give that person?

A very smart man I know once told me that we tend to judge others based on their actions and outcomes, and ourselves based on our intentions. That means that if we didn't mean to hurt somebody then we can be a bit more dismissive than if somebody hurt us but didn't mean it. That said, it can also cut the other way. If you intended to succeed at something but didn't, you can beat yourself up over it. Nobody around you would be any the wiser about your shortcomings or failures, but you might be likely to draw attention to it and judge yourself harshly based on your (lack of) results.

I probably wrote this mostly for myself and my situation, but hopefully it helps you a bit. There's no plan for life. We just all do the best we can with the hand we're dealt in the situation we happen to be in at the time. Hell, most of people's success comes down to luck, not hard work. To make things worse, neither success nor money will make you more happy with yourself. They may help, but they won't do it on their own.

That's a known bug in Jerboa. It's already been reported and the dev acknowledged it.

The best way is to use relative links, such as [email protected]

What I did there was simply [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]). This link doesn't start with the protocol and site, but instead assumes the current site, and starts with /c/my_comunity@my_site.tld, meaning it will be routed to the same instance.

100%. There are literally military weapons systems using an Xbox One controller. This article is garbage clickbait.

 

Four years ago I was lucky enough to be in a position to pick up this 2017 R8 thanks to my best friend taking over the lease on my 2017 S3. Right now the R8 is in the shop fixing some suspension issues, and I hope it's done in time to go to Watkins Glen International in late July for a track weekend!
