There's multiple projects out there for it. Windows 10 Ameliorated is/was an open source project of PowerShell scripts you run against the installation media (and I think afer install, it's been a while) to get LTSC Windows 10 stripped down as much as possible.

It's what I run in a VM for my work's VPN connection software (and then for the RDP session too). Keeps an extra level of separation from my personal stuff.

I could probably get things working in a Linux VM, but it's not worth the trouble for me.

The fuck are you talking about? I'm not the thorn guy, and I do find their "quirk" annoying.

A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it's a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don't want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I'm going to call this shit out.

I've already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.

My feelings aren't hurt, I'm frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I'm going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.

Now there's a post directly targeting another lemmy user. What the fuck mods.

Edit: I reported the harassment post, called it out in my own post here which also highlighted that only 1 of the 3 mods here have any activity in the past 2 years, and my post was removed. Fair. Still laughing that's the only mod action in the sub in ages.

I have no interest in herding cats (modding), but you could probably take the lack of mod activity up with the lemmy.world admins in whatever the instance meta community is and see if you could get added as a mod.

Nope, you use Reddit entirely at their whim. All appeals are handled by the same automated system that likely banned you in the first place, and trying to make a new account will get you banned again for ban evasion.

There are various ways to hide and get around the ban evasion checks, but if you ever slip up, or they ever catch you again, go straight to banned again with no appeal.

Your alternative is to move to other reddit alternatives like here. The more these alternatives can be built up, the less excuses there are to still rely on Reddit, until Reddit finally crumbles away.

As if recall wasn't bad enough.

Trading firms have been using ML and Neural Nets for trading and investment insight for ages before the current LLM "AI" boom started. I knew someone working in that space on investment derivatives in the mid 2010s.

You don't really need to speculate on it. It's old news. This is just a joke about how there's a new crop of suckers who are absolutely using LLMs for stock advice.

 

Definitely a repost, but it fits the season

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.
