For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.
Moved on to the better fediverse platform, mbin, avoid lemmy instances: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/blob/main/README.md (scroll to bottom)
“Transgenic sounds pretty close to transgender, and our base is full of idiots - what if we say they are transgender mice and then do that thing where we double down and laugh at the replies of our critics to get more publicity because all our base cares about is the mob mentality of joining in on the circlejerk of acting better than them even though there’s no substance to back it up?”
“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese
School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.
That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.
I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.
Ah, yes, their new thoughtcrimes initiative. Would be far more ok with this if there was any sort of transparency on reddit. At the very least, it would make it clear what it is they are trying to suppress. It’s still funny to me how many people here seem to hate transparency.
If Brother starts playing that game, they will lose. Why bother buying their considerably more expensive printers over those of HP if they are going to be just as bad in the third party ink department?
I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don’t want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it’s still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.
“Look, there’s no police misconduct! Any complaints are from woke radicals!”
A budding authoritarian regime needs to necessarily cozy up with those in positions of authority.
I think it’s only a matter of time before they prohibit recording in public and disseminating those recordings in places like YouTube.
He’s a dictator and law has quickly become a facade in the US. All that was needed was for a money cult to hog government and for the opposition to be ok with becoming spineless leeches of their money as well.
You are pretty much the case in point: Grossly stereotyping the alternative into a perspective only based on extreme prejudice with an ample amount of pet peeves projected from personal experience. Like, I was actually expecting to see at least one valid counterpoint, like how much corporate interests shit on and ransack OSS, or the inherent dichotomy between software maintained out of goodwill in an environment that’s increasingly defined by greed and intellectual property bullshit inside failing economies, but nope.
“Don’t look at the man behind the curtains!”
Good thing that the US has a monopoly on chips and they don’t mostly come from Asia/China, right?
The only thing this is assuring is that other places like Europe don’t pass through US brands before getting their computer equipment. If China was already good at one thing, it was at creating generic brands to bypass things like US IP for other regions. Now, the US has given them an additional stimulus in doing so. Hell, it has even given other countries a reason to support China over Taiwan. If you are looking for something to invest in, might want to look into investing in AliExpress.
Yes, nothing exceptional about Trump, all “slow but inevitable”. It’s all the government’s fault, don’t look at the rich oligarch that owns a personality cult creating social network behind the curtains…
How to artificially impose a curfew by making people too afraid to fly. Is this what happens when you get King Musk mad about getting his flights publicly tracked? Gonna bet so, the guy is bitter and corrupt enough the he would want to replace the entire aviation system with one that won’t track him regardless of how many deaths it would mean.
He only cares about free speech when he can control what and whom it is flooded to. If you disagree with him, it will get automatically prioritized for the trash heap and chances are his critics will have worked it out of their system to bother complaining somewhere else, giving him a two for one.

It’s been a couple of years since Teslas were the go-to option, at least this is making people catch up to the fact.
Welcome back from your 3 day hiatus, totally different person not trying to entrap people.
It’s not, it’s not having to do the math or the remembering. The brain is a muscle, when you have your phone doing all the hard work it doesn’t need to be as buff. LLMs will worsen this problem even more. Microplastics? Maybe single digit consequences.
