Oh well, I’ll keep “borrowing” my ebooks from other librarieZ.

Clickbait title + youtube face thumbnail = certain downvote.

No, that xkcd is relevant because that’s exactly what free speech means. Your government won’t arrest you for saying stuff, but for the same reason you are free to speak, we are free to act within law against you.

And there is no law forbiding people from boycotting or unhosting or simply not listening to what you say.

You are free to speak, we are free to listen.

So you are a racist. Got it.

You are not going to find “free speech” instances federated with everyone, because what you are looking for is an instance allowing bigotry and racism, things that most of lemmy don’t like.

I am no expert in wine but several proccesses are usually controlled one way or another. I know wine makers need to control oxygen levels (they call it “oxygenate” the wine or something like that; please be aware I’m not english native so I’m translating the terms from my language to english) so doing it with the precision that gives a computer will lead to more controlled wine making, leading to wines that are closer to what the wine maker wants.

Same with the sugar levels in the wine, you usually control them one way or another, doing it with a machine, again, leads to more accurate levels.

Then, if you have a sparkling wine, CO2 levels should be checked too. Again, doing it more accurately, allows the wine maker to create wines in a more controlled way

Are they better? Well, the wineries I worked for think they are. Again, I’m no expert, but if someone making wine for 20 years tells me that their wines are better with those systems, I tend to believe them.

I know. I never talked about AI, but about algorithms, that in my case were human made.

Sorry, typing on a phone and not proofreading does that, correcting it.

Indeed. I replied to a message talking about algorithms.

While I agree that algorithms and taste are not compatible (yet), there is undeniably a benefit in using some in certain processes of wine making:

There are machines that can control wine oxygen saturation way better than a person, making the wine oxidation much more controlled.

There are so many processes other than that in which you can exploit algorithms to make better wine, and many of them are not aimed at removing the person from the job but rather to making their work easier.

I worked for a company that made these machines and I can assure you that wineries where these machines were installed made a better wine.

Edit: typos, remember to proofread.

If you are sailing the seven seas, you should be using a vpn of any kind by default, so this won’t do shit to you anyway.

Italy thinks their crappy piracy shield works and it does jack to anyone using even the cheapest vpn.

Don’t quote me on this but I think the problem is the game tries to load EVERYTHING on the map, even if it’s not visible. So if your island has decorations and trees in a decent amount, frame rate will suffer a lot, and load times will increase absurdly.

AC runs poorly even on switch. As soon as your island gets some decorations or becomes complex, you’ll see tons of dips in performance and how the console struggles hard to run it. Not surprised the deck struggles too, the game itself is poorly optimized

Thumb-key.

It takes a bit to adapt and create muscle memory but I can’t change it now that I am used to it.

Fitgirl is one of the best repackers out there, I have never found a compromised torrent coming from her. Dodi is too a very good and equally safe one. I’d say you can trust any torrent coming from their sites without any worry.

Block third party scripts and third party frames.

Works wonders every time.

Generally, 12ft.io works pretty well for me.

Doesn’t work for me either. Mail cache empty.

Whenever I find an obnoxious captcha, I just leave the page after two failed attempt (not really failed, but you know how it is, the system decides that you have to repeat the captcha again).

The problem is with certain services (like GoG) that I’ve had for years but that lately don’t want VPNs because reasons and will keep forcing the captchas indefinitely even when I’m login or redeeming a game. Those are the worst, and honestly? They are only harming themselves with them. I don’t buy from them anymore because last time I wanted to login to buy something, I had to go through a least 20 captchas just to login (and, of course, the audio captcha wouldn’t work because that would make me “skip” the whole ordeal). After that I decided to go to gog only if there is a game that they are giving away and I really want.
