  • It costs $0 to tell the police…

    You can literally walk up to any cop and say “my brother says he wants to kill me and I’m scared” and that’s more than plenty.

    The way I see it we have very little agency in this world. That’s why I choose to believe in predestination. If your brother kills then he was always destined to kill, you can’t know that about him like that’s not something anyone could know about anyone else. But I fully believe and live by the truth that it is possible to know a little bit better than everyone else.

    By the nature of things you know more about the situation than I can ever. And you know more than the other people experiencing this situation. There is nothing immoral about such a state, the correct way to characterize it is “a potential matter of life and death” therefore “the potential of dialing 911”, and back to my thesis it cost $0 to give the right people a heads up.

    There’s nothing wrong with knowing better.

    Full disclosure I’m kind of suffering with my own motivation issues, I have things in my life that feel small to me that I just can’t do for my own reasons. I’m sorry if I presented the words “my brother says he wants to kill me and I’m scared” as easy.

    Hope to hear from you again ༼ つ ◕u◕ ༽つ












  • The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.

    If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.




  • There is a metadata protocol called opengraph, it’s how apps get the information to display a rich preview. Basically the app takes the link as it’s written in the SMS message or Twitter thread and then it tries to fetch that page and then read the open graph metadata from inside. That should give it enough to show a title description and a background image, considering the web developers implemented opengraph.

    If Google is planning to use their own servers basically as a proxy then all this means is that the opengraph rich metadata is going to be a little more stale than if the app just fetch the page and generated the rich metadata itself





  • See I knew I didn’t have to fucking read it

    (⁠╯⁠ರ⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠ರ⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

    Why would that even be included in the summary to begin with? It doesn’t make people feel good or bad to read it?

    It’s just repulsive unmarketable information.

    Why the fuck should I read the rest of the article? I know I’ll get no objective or subjective value from it, if I want the bottom of the bone dry fucking barrel I would have to read the court transcripts.

    I DON’T HAVE TIME TO ASK CHATGPT TO FIND THAT FOR ME!! I have to socialize with my friends and touch grass and be healthy!

    Honestly OP at this point you shouldn’t’ve posted this thread. Lemmy isn’t going to fail because of lack of engagement and low user count, it’s going to fail because there are no more worthwhile links to post.



  • One thing I always stay weary of is all the details that were removed from the court records to fit it into a news report. Like you can’t include everything and what I find out whenever I look deeper then it’s not as horrible as what I thought it was… then next time I see an article like this I don’t read it bc I already know that this article is going to be just as bad as the last ones.

    It’s kinda like ‘wolf’ has been cried to me basically all my life… like what kind of emergency/bad-thing do I actually need to respond too.
