Maybe there’s a technical difference, but at least in Brazil, publicidade and propaganda are widely used as synonyms

• https://www.dicio.com.br/publicidade/
• https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escola_Superior_de_Propaganda_e_Marketing

It is uncommon to call propaganda (in the political sense) publicidade, so maybe in popular conversations this makes publicidade a kind of propaganda, and not the other way around.

idk about other languages, but in Portuguese it’s literally the same word

reminds me when Brazil launched their Pix payment system nationwide, which is free for individuals, and the US launched an investigation into unfair trading

potential unfair advantaging of Brazilian payment services over US competitors was cited

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has accused US president Donald Trump of being “bothered by Pix” because it “will put an end to credit cards”

Also, it’s useful to know how, when, or why something happens. I can make a useless chatbot that is “right” most times if it only tells people to seek medical help.

I hope that discourages open source projects and similar communities from using discord as forum / user support.

it just means they’ll be a passive node, but still able to seed if they connect to the other node (edited). It’s the setup I have and I manage to keep an overall ratio >1, especially if the torrent is popular.

you don’t actually know that you would have continued playing that game

yes, that’s kind of my point. With this feature it’d be more likely that I would. I don’t play games for the boss fights, but even story-driven ones have them at times. They’re more of a nuisance to me.

Idk, I’ve left some games behind, which I could have played many more hours, just because I didn’t have the patience to get past a level/battle/boss, whatever. Not so much as a teenager, but definitely as an adult.

Sometimes I come back after weeks or months, sometimes I don’t bother.

Linus tech tips

getting a stack overflow trying to expand GNU

if you use this often, you can add a keyword search (firefox-based browsers) or a custom site search (chromium-based) with this URL

https://icon-sets.iconify.design/?query=%25s

(use %s after equals; some lemmy front-ends seem to be rendering it wrong)

and a shortcut e.g. icon

so everytime you enter e.g. icon person in a new tab, it’ll run the search for you

Isn’t it against the law in many places to charge customers without providing a breakdown of what they’re being charged with?

you just know a company like Microsoft or Apple will eventually try suing an open source project over AI code that’s “too similar” to their proprietary code.

Doubt it. The incentives don’t align. They benefit from open source much more than are threatened by it. Even that “embrace, extent, extinguish” idea comes from different times and it’s likely less profitable than the vendor lock-in and other modern practices that are actually in place today. Even the copyright argument is something that could easily backfire if they just throw it in a case, because of all this questionable AI training.

Even if you’re into AI coding, I never understood the hype around cursor. In the beginning, they were just 3 months ahead of alternatives. Today you can’t even say that anymore and they’re still “worth” billions. You can get a similar prediction quality from other editors if you know how to use them, paying a fraction of the price.

Cursor also chugs on tokens like a 1978 Lincoln Continental, that’s how they get marginally better results, so bringing your API is not even a viable option. The first time I tried it, I asked a simple 1-line edit on a markdown and it sent out 20k tokens before I could say “AGI is 6 months away”, and it still got the change wrong.

call me a racoon then

maybe he calls his net worth “cognition”

it works!!!
