From the Browser's viewpoint, would there be any difference if the webpage has a JS button to put something in the clipboard, or it having code running in the background that puts things into the clipboard at page load?

It's not like there's that much of a difference, as far as the Browser is concerned.

Depends on how dedicated they are. It's not implausible that some might just shuffle it away as "computer verification stuff", and faithfully paste and execute the code, since it's the computer doing a computery thing, that it says it is doing, and asks you to do, all must be well.

Just make the screen one gargantuan pixel, and infer the other 2-million.

I have personally found generative-text LLMs quite good for creating titles. As an example, I have a few hundred tweets that I'm trying to put into a file, and I'll use an LLM to create a human-readable name for them. It's much better than a lot of the other summarisation mechanisms (like BERT) I've tried with it, but it's still not perfect, because the model tends to output the same thing in slightly different words each time, so repeat runs will often result in the same thing with a different title.

But, that is also a fairly limited use case.

At the same time, the trouble with local LLMs is that they're very resource heavy. Your average household computer isn't going to be able to run one with much usability or speed.

How things change. Checked up on a uni friend who I'd not seen in a bit, she's married with kids now, which was just a wild thing to think about.

Meanwhile, another friend and I are about the same as we were then, just with degrees.

From memory those bio bits did actually make it into the later ships. The sovereign had them, for example.

The difference between the klingons in TOS and the TOS motion pictures, was that klingons always looked like that, and in DS9, according to Worf, it was due to some unspecified thing that is not discussed with non-Klingons.

But other than that, not really. The official position likely has not changed.

In fandom, it varies. Some people treat it as a cosmetic choice, and that Klingons underwent changes as necessary, and others might stick to the one interpretation of what klingons look like for all of them.

Personally, I'm of the Diaspora opinion, where the varieties of Klingon all coexist, where some of the changes are racial, like they are in humans, and others not.

For example, T'Kuvma house were Klingon supremacists, so it seems likely that some of their more exaggerated features were due to genetic modification on their part to try and enhance their Klingon attributes and remain Klingon.

But B'Elanna? She's just like that.

They always were. Even when Spock was using them, he only used them when there was no other choice, and even then, there was no generally no small risk to both parties.

From Enterprise, mind melds are treated as something both sensitive and private. Things you do with someone you trust. That seems to have carried over in the intervening centuries, but you're still not meant to meld with everything willy-nilly.

Genuinely amazing how some parts of the city have barely changed in the intervening decades. Popped by Narre Warren, and it was almost like it was still 1990.

What is a "trustworthy software environment"?

Does that mean that it will get mad and fail you for having Developer options enabled? Having F-Droid installed? Having it plugged into a computer?

I didn't, actually, but thank you.

The Star Trek ones over on startrek.website. They weren't the most active to begin with, though their activity has dropped a bit more over time.

That "little more complicated" is asking for a lot, though.

Say you're coming from Reddit, or Facebook, or something.

It would not be unreasonable to believe that, like Reddit, every single Lemmy instance is its own separate, self-contained site.

And that's even before figuring out federation works, and how to access things from outside of your instance, or all the nuances that come with defederation and all of that. You made the mistake of joining beehaw? Whoops, all the other "subs" are now inaccessible, because beehaw is not connected to any of the others.

Central places like Reddit don't have that complexity. Reddit communities are singular, and there's no overarching layer to complicate things. A community that disagrees with another, and blocks them doesn't affect your experience as an user.

The decentralisation probably doesn't help either. People coming to Lemmy from other places are coming from a centralised system. That takes some getting used to.

If you're new to this, you can be forgiven by thinking that all the Lemmy instances are their own separate thing, like the forums of old, rather than that they're all interconnected (excluding a whole bunch of stuff about defederation and all of that mess).

Part of it is that people also moved on from Lemmy too. Lemmy is nice, but there also isn't very much by way of activity on it, which feeds back into itself. No activity means there's nothing to draw people into it, and not enough to keep them around when they are there.

One of the communities and (non-world) instances I frequented is all but dead these days.

It basically gets longer every few years. At this rate, it'll turn into an Amazon listing.

Went to the aquarium today. It was lovely.

They have this ridiculously big baby penguin, that's twice the size of the other penwings. It looks like a gargantuan kiwi.

If they somehow succeed, that's how you know you've found a keeper.

Had the company paid for the training data and/or left it as voluntary, there would be less of a problem with it to begin with.

Part of the problem is that they didn't, but are still using it for commercial purposes.
