Kalothar@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•The man who owes Nintendo $14m: Gary Bowser and gaming’s most infamous piracy caseEnglish3·1 year agoI like you man, you’re a reasonable fella. I wish Lemmy had superficial awards like Good Samaritan or something.
Yeah, it is at the moment for the most part. My girlfriend is fluent in Spanish, and I have talked to her about general concepts that overlap.
We decided after I started getting deeper into the language that we should maybe not do that as much so I don’t pick up bad or flat out wrong habits.
I myself am of an Italian descent, however the relatives I have that speak it either live in Italy still and are estranged or sadly have passed away. There is an Italian grocery store near me, and I have heard them speaking it so I was hoping to strike a couple friendships up over time there.
Been using a multifaceted approach to cramming Italian in my little brain:
- Anki flashcards (this is my main thing)
- conversational pod casts
- movies, shows and music
- lastly, Duolingo
Any suggestions on what I could be using instead of Duolingo?

Kalothar@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Moderna’s mRNA cancer vaccine works even better than thoughtEnglish19·1 year agoYou get cancer all the time your body has natural mechanisms of finding and breaking down the cancerous cells. As we age some of these mechanisms start to falter, cells divide, but small errors over time accumulate.
A youth serum is really not the goal, the goal is fixing errors in these systems, maintaining current functions and creating a new mechanism.
This would work like a booster for this mechanisms and effectively make it possible to maintain and improve these systems. The side effect being an increase lifespan to some degree.
I suppose this I just the cancer component, but several other things are still needed on the field of longevity research for a “youth serum” to be viable.

The classic defense of someone that’s just using humor as a shield for being an asshole. There are w plenty of ways to be funny that don’t involve punching down in the same old tired ways.
You can do better with your comedy career, I believe in you.

Piracy is illegal and unethical 😉English121·2 years agoI don’t know about your reading comprehension skills, but sure that explains why AI voices are trained on feminine voices (more recordings, old phone operators, false theories on sounding more distinct).
However, this has nothing to do with “the way women talk to devs”. Women are not a monolith, they literally make up half our species and have just as much variance as men.

Kalothar@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users120·2 years agoTLDR
He was raided for unrelated reasons to his mastodon server, the police have a seize it all policy.
There is talk about changing policy to exclude things like servers and similar devices that are not related to the initial reason for the search. There doesn’t seem to currently be laws or rules about what police can or can’t do with data.
That’s the whole article basically
Neurons die and replicate on a longer time frame, something like 7+ years, so I guess it’s just the long game with those ones
