Read that as peloton and was incredibly confused

Moi aussi

Why? This has literally always been the case, but now they’re going into it actively telling you that this is the case. Seems like a step in the right direction to me.

Also, if anybody funds themselves in this situation, hydrate or die-drate. Really bad diarrhea is very, very, very dehydrating (just think about how much water is in the liquid sludge coming out of your ass)

Why in God’s name would we put weapons that pose a legitimate threat to the whole of humanity under the control of an ai? I just don’t think this one sounds plausible.

I recommend this thread btw https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistory/comments/18ydzok/has_the_term_dark_ages_truly_become_an_obsolete/

Nothing to do with the rest of your comment.

As a proud Yankee, fuck you and your traitor ancestors. Any region defined by whether or not the states fought for the continuation of slavery is not a region worth being proud of.

I mean shit we’ve been having this under a different name (Boy Scouts) brought to us by the British and the US for the past 100+ years.

Scouting today is obviously a lot different than back then (literally a training program for the british scouts section of the armed forces), but still an astounding number of scouts from the US and UK go into military service as a result.

And I’m an eagle scout so I seen this shit from the inside.

Farmville players do not buy AAA games. We need to get this idea that mobile games and other forms of video games are connected out of our collective heads.

Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don’t have ‘rights’, you have privileges. Rights can’t be taken away.

I mean Saudi Arabia showed that American citizens lives only matter when they align with national interests years and years ago

You don’t. Try not to piss off any national governments, especially unhinged ones (Russia, China, US, Israel, etc.)

If you legitimately believe this then you are a clown. Terminator came out in what year again? Lmaoooo

“As AI researchers in the 1960s and 1970s began to use computers to recognize images, translate between languages, and understand instructions in normal language and not just code, the idea that computers would eventually develop the ability to speak and think—and thus to do evil—bubbled into mainstream culture.”

Are you suggesting that architectural styles are not based on interactions with different peoples and that the type of architecture, for example, from 200-500CE is not going to vary greatly in different regions such as East Asia and Europe? And that those peoples with individual cultures and ideas about architecture won’t ever interact with their neighbors, creating cross-cultural styles? That these cultures will never interact and reach a quorum on specific styles of buildings, especially when brought together through larger institutions such as religion?

From a content creator’s standpoint, sure. The issue is that when the end user doesn’t have a shiny new thing they’re interested in in front of them every 30 or so seconds they just log off and stop using the service. Why use mastodon if bluesky/threads/whatever shows them, generally, more of what they want to see and less of what they don’t?

Most people are using social media as a way to veg out and unwind these days. They don’t really care if somebody is able to game the system, just that they see more that lets them veg out (or alternatively makes them angry, driving increased engagement).

I agree that this is generally bad, but trying to sidestep it completely like Mastodon is is just going to result in a network that never hits the critical mass necessary to start exponential growth.

There were literally 10s of thousands marching in tel Aviv. Israel, just like every other place on earth, is not a homogenous blob.

Here’s a source from al Jazeera. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/22/all-of-the-rats-in-the-knesset-mass-anti-war-protest-in-israel

You’re very good at saying you’re right and very bad at providing evidence. The best thing about lemmy’s size is I can recognize which usernames to disregard immediately after enough encounters.

It’s also that their monetization scheme begets piracy. A game and the dlc for it should never cost more than $100

Yeah until it gets shot by A/B testing again lol. I love newpipe, but for somebody with a family it’s hard to justify, especially bc the non-techies of the fam are gonna want something that ‘just works’.
