Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?
6·9 hours agoGenuine answer: Weird Al
He puts on an incredible show every time. The costume changes alone put most artists to shame. He’s just as enthusiastic and active as he was over 40 years ago (Seriously, the man is 66)
And of course the songs and skits are hilarious.
We have tickets to see him this year for the second time on his current tour.
Tap to pay works perfectly fine on my plastic cards that don’t run out of battery or need to be unlocked before I tap them. I genuinely don’t see what the big deal is about having it work on a phone.

Linux@programming.dev•On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states
1·1 day agoThat is a good point. Websites also if they are visited daily or if a web beacon or such can access the API.
Manually adjusting the brackets until 18+ (or just lying about the precise date) would grant more privacy. I can see making that trade-off though.

News@lemmy.world•Google faces lawsuit after Gemini chatbot allegedly instructed man to kill himself
31·1 day ago“I’ve never won the lottery so clearly nobody does, and news reports about it are fake. You want me to believe it? Then you spend time and money to play and win it, then show me exactly how you won.”
Nevermind that “winning” in this case means dying.Rare does not mean never. It’s happened enough to be a serious problem already and this is just one more case.
And no, I will not chat with those psychotic machines for you.

20·2 days agoThis isn’t even remotely the first time LLMs have done this to people. Sure it would be nice to see the full log, but disbelieving it on sight is a weird reaction at this point.

7·2 days agoIt’s not though. It’s literally asking the user “how old are you?” and not even caring if they lie. It’s not even requiring a date, just a number of years.
Hey Dad, it’s late, let’s go back to !dadjokes@lemmy.world
You know sonic booms? This is basically like ‘optical booms’ from radiation in water that’s traveling faster than the speed-of-light-in-water (which is less than the speed of light in a vacuum)
Well yeah, of course. More relevantly, I even heard their insurance approval rate shifted positive… For a few months anyway. But If it’s not back down already I assume it will be eventually. The profit pressure is still there.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?
3·3 days agoWhen I was a kid listening to the oldies station, I heard “Little blue scoop” instead of deuce coupe.
Later my mom actually called in and requested it that way. I think they played the request on air.
As a commenter in a different post put it: Remember when Brian Thompson was killed and UnitedHealthcare suddenly dissolved?

16·4 days agoSo I notice one bit of missing information: where is that place?
Besides curiosity, there’s also the practical question of whether it’s the right one to sign up for:
Say I encounter one named “Springfield” - how would I know which of the 93 (in the US alone) it is?I propose having a map on the About page showing the area covered, with the ability to zoom out and see which state/province/etc, which country, and which continent.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•*For useless... twisting... of our new technology*
1·7 days agoFunny. My experience was the exact opposite. Maybe it was bad defaults which I never managed to fix, but I could never get two apps to use sound at the same time, which meant until Pulse became the standard and fixed everything, it was always constant battles between aRts, ESD, and apps that used neither.
