Stop using ChatGPT in c/[email protected]
[–] PrincessLeiasCat 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think the way they explained it necessarily means the cat must be female? The way it’s written it could still be pronounced ‘Chat (Sha) GPT’?

French isn’t my first language so if I’m wrong, I’m interested in knowing how so that I learn from it. Thank you!

Survival of the Richest by Douglass Rushkoff is another book on this topic. If you don’t wanna read the book, I recommend one of the many podcast interviews he’s done where he discusses it.

Wait until you hear the shit Trump says about your dad and your wife, Ted, being so concerned with mean people and all.

Kennedy says COVID vaccines no longer recommended for healthy children and pregnant women in c/[email protected]

Mine does - I have a copay, but they do pay for some of it.

They would cover a portion of any doctor’s visits and prescriptions, similar to the flu I’m guessing. Same reason they cover flu shots and a portion of the costs related to diagnosing and recovering from the flu.

How would you turn Hell into a tourist destination? in c/[email protected]
[–] PrincessLeiasCat 3 points 3 days ago

I feel like that would just give it a more “hellish” ambiance, increasing the suffering of everyone exposed to it. Selfie sticks for miles, influencers…this is definitely a way to make it worse than it’s already purported to be.

You are absolutely spot on.

Excellent point I hadn’t thought about.

Wouldn’t it be in their best interest to cover it though, because Covid would be much more expensive? (Like how the flu shot is covered)

Noted - healthy children and pregnant women should still get the shots.

Angela Collier…I also have my fair share of physics classes under my belt due to my engineering degree and she makes me think of things in a way that none of my professors did.

She’s brilliant.

Canada in talks with US about joining 'Golden Dome' plan in c/[email protected]
[–] PrincessLeiasCat 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do it, Canada, then stall and stall and stall on your end. Put the Canadian Golden Dome HQ in Quebec and send all communication in French. Also, use the metric system. They’ll never know what hit them. C’est magnifique

iPhone 15 Pro keeps randomly dropping wifi (self.apple_enthusiast)
 

I upgraded from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro. So far the only internet I’ve connected to since I got the phone is at home, but with 2 different networks (one is 5g but otherwise same router and everything).

I never updated the 13 Pro to iOS 17 because I knew I would be upgrading soon, but I never had this issue with any former phone and have been on this same internet setup since 2016.

I have an iPad Mini 6 that I did update to iOS 17, and it’s fine.

I’ve tried resetting network settings, turning off Wi-Fi assist, turning off networking and wireless in location services-> system services (saw that as a potential fix), and restarting multiple times, but it still randomly drops my WiFi signal on both home networks.

Everything else wrt network/connection on my previous phone is the same - VPN setup, etc.

My SO has a 14 pro & did update to 17 and does not have this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched for answers and I see that this has been an issue off and on for the past few years, but one of the fixes I mentioned above usually seems to help I guess because I haven’t seen any other suggestions.

Could it be the phone itself? Is it worth exchanging it for another one before the 2 weeks runs out?

Thanks everyone.

I forgot to go back for Lae'zel, is it too late? (self.baldurs_gate_3)
 

Long story short, I ran into Lae’zel in the cage just after we wake up on the beach in the very beginning.

I went by her and reloaded for reasons, but accidentally went a different way after that, forgot about it, & just realized she would be good to have as a Companion during combat.

I’m about to kill the goblins, and I went back for her at her previous location but she’s no longer there. Did I lose her for good, or is there still a chance?

Thanks everyone, I’m new to BG/D&D completely so apologies if this is a dumb n00b move, but I am one :)

New Orleans archbishop ignored board findings on clerics accused of abuse (www.theguardian.com)

A board which helps the Roman Catholic archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond, evaluate abuse allegations against priests and deacons in six cases found clergymen to be credibly accused only for Aymond to ignore the findings and conceal them from the public, a Guardian investigation has found.

Request: Option to change location of comment voting button(s) (self.lemmiosapp)
 

Lemmios is my favorite iOS Lemmy app so far, but I find that when I go to upvote a comment using the voting button next to the commenter’s username (top), I inadvertently collapse the comment.

Would it be possible to have both voting buttons either on the right side like posts have, or at the bottom?

I understand gestures are an option, it’s just a personal preference with the voting buttons. Old habits die hard :)

And if this feature exists, I apologize for missing it. I have looked for it in the settings but did not see such an option. Thank you for such great work with Lemmios!
