The American propaganda machine has always been effective. And now it’s global.

I don’t think this about trying to close it, but rather put a big fat sticker on everything that comes out of the box, so consumers can actually make informed decisions.

I was just in Rome, and when I started getting hungry there was still an hour left until most restaurants even opened (19:30). Pure insanity to my Scandinavian habits.

The conservative dream is the rebirth of a past that never existed

Same. It physically hurts to see talentless suck-ups play the bullshit game and climb the hierarchy, whereas you get punished and kept down for pointing out the bullshit. My best decision ever was to escape the hell that is the field of software development, and instead get into teaching. Now my reward for a job well done is seeing my students succeed and I love it so much.

Open the door, get on the floor!

“To us that’s what a friend is, what a terrible question”

Comments like this is why I like Lemmy. No revenge fetishism or punishment fantasy. Simply a hope for justice and betterment, and acceptance of the fact that criminals are also victims. Thank you.

So many unused iPads around the world collecting dust because they seem super convenient, but in reality kinda suck to use for anything other than streaming.

The way the presenters had to talk over the voice to interrupt it was awkward as hell. It also seemed to pick up on background noise from the audience often and interrupt itself. That makes it unusable in loud public settings (which imo is great, I hope it will never be socially acceptable to chat loudly with your AI in public).

It’s really, really good! Tougher than the first game, but that’s a welcome change. After about ~10 hours of gameplay, I already feel like it’s the best sequel I’ve played.

He just needs a panini maker, and he would be the reason noone believes Troy.

Emulation is a matter of media preservation. Give us backwards compatibility or go fuck yourselves.

Yea, I immediately stopped using it after the CEO’s horrifying speech at the “Protecting Children Online” hearing.

Thanks for this explanation! I couldn’t understand how the overall mass of the egg would change, even if some of the contents turned to a gas.

Maybe he wanted something that could actually run?

“Manipulators are not the problem, the people who are manipulated are”

The Sapling is a good alternative, if you want to watch your creations evolve.

Scroll through the trained models on civit.ai and you’ll quickly get a feeling of the dystopian level of “prettifying” everything in the AI-generation world.

I also once searched for “brown” just to see if any models were trained to create non-white-skinned people, and got shocked when the result was filled with models trained on Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things. I don’t even want to know what those models are used for.

Dying industries have long deathrattles. Sometimes it’s more merciful and environmental to kill then before “the economy” is ready.
