Nobody was hurt

I mean, they both also won just a little bit of CTE.

Imagine figuring out how to get paid for nothing, and deciding to spend your days sitting on the couch watching TV instead of going out and living life.

What a wasted opportunity.

I don’t think anyone can actually answer your question if you’re not telling us where in the USA you’re visiting. This place is enormous, and the culture isn’t homogeneous.

I have a 60TB media collection, so this would end up costing $600/month.

Instead, I back all my media up to LTO-6 tapes, and store them at a storage unit.

LTO-6 drive: $400 10x LTO-6 tapes (62.5TB): $200 Small off-site storage unit: $30/month

The goal was to attract Twitter refugees. No ads helps sell the “greener pastures” the users were looking for.

Once those users are comfortable, Threads can do whatever it wants. They know how much it took to get Twitter users to leave Twitter.

People acting like Meta launched Threads out of the kindness of Zuck’s heart are dumb as fuck. Threads has the same goal as Facebook: to make money selling your eyeballs to advertisers and your metadata to data brokers.

This is a picture of Tehran’s upper class youth from the 70’s, and it is often posted as if it were everyday life in Iran.

Spoiler: The rich in Iran can still do whatever they want.

The bridge is necessary because BlueSky and Mastodon cannot federate, and they never will be able to. ActivityPub and ATProto are different protocols.

In China? I mean, there were two back to back incidents, but to my understanding not a pattern.

An OF girl, who absolutely knows other OF girls, thinks you’re nice and fun to be around, despite your obvious horniness?

She’s gonna hook you up. OP fucked up if this is where he gave up. A single guy having an OF girl as a close friend is how you end up being a stage cock for her friends to suck, and you’ll get a cut of the dough.

Bro was this close to getting paid to have his dick sucked, but he had no patience.

Those aren’t rumors. The Lemmy repo is quite open about this. Lemmy’s devs are part of the Tankie problem here.

Honestly, Kbin and Mbin are looking very attractive, not being run by extremists. Lemmy, as a product, is dragged down by the Tankies that make it - just as Pleroma (a Mastodon alternative) is dragged down by the Neo-Nazis that make it.

Centralized platforms get top-down control. You’re trading your freedom for convenience.

Stop pining for the algorithms. They’re making you stupider by guaranteeing that you only see the content you want to see, and never the content you need to see.

Bluesky is not decentralized at all.

Don’t fall for it. Read their privacy policy.

They keep your data in the cloud and share it with third parties, including advertisers.

Pen and paper doesn’t snitch.

Historically

You mean the only other civil war in US history, in the 19th century? Are you actually suggesting that the lack of “forum posts” means anything at all?

Welcome to the 21st century. The world is different than last time.

Anti-fascist action is self-defense.

Your points were a little wordy, but I think I can summarize this pretty succinctly:

• Republicans are fascists, and they’re in charge. Fall in line or you deserve what they do to you.
• I don’t like incivility and violence, but I don’t have any viable alternatives to offer. Regardless, fall in line or you’re actually the problem.
• Republicans are fascists, and they’re in charge. Fall in line or you deserve what they do to you. (x2)
• *screaming baby noises*

Pointing out who the Nazis are and where to find them isn’t extremist.

We can conclude: that photo isn’t AI-generated. You can’t get an AI system to generate photos of an existing location; it’s just not possible given the current state of the art.

That’s a poor conclusion. A similar image could be created using masks and AI inpainting. You could take a photo on a rainy day and add in the disaster components using GenAI.

That’s definitely not the case in this scenario, but we shouldn’t rely on things like verifying real-world locations to assume that GenAI wasn’t involved in making a photo.

I bet they used a level.
