You apparently have been living under a rock because there is a world of difference between someone who is nice and also a guy and someone being a “nice guy”.

Also the posters are red flags not because they reference nerdy things but because they show an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters who, though charismatic, are evil people who justify their violent actions with straw man arguments about power and corruption. The words on the Thanos poster put an especially fine point on that part.

I don’t know. That fight option looks like it could be fun too… TEST YOUR MIGHT!

shitheads who idolize assholes are funny when they cry

Don’t forget medical visits and one other thing… Hmmm, what was it again that almost half of children born end up needing again? Oh yeah, baby formula.

No, but don’t you understand? Tesla is not a car company, it’s an AI company. They were just making cars while developing AI systems. So it’s fine if they stop selling cars. So just keep buying TSLA stock and everything will work out great!

It’s not real life. It’s the fucking social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Nothing there is real. It’s all just bullshit.

The flip side of that is that instances large and small outside of the influence of the government can do as they please and people can use other means, like VPNs, to access them.

Literally every cable company is a scam.

This is by design. It’s called a mini-monopoly and our government should have put a stop to is 50 years ago.

Yeah, this is a hard lesson everyone should take to heart.

Edit: to add, most banks will allow you to set up automatic payments to go out to companies. This is a far better method because it doesn’t put your finances in the hands of an unscrupulous corporation. (Well, other than your bank but those are the dice we roll)

They have literally been doing this with every older game they’ve ever produced. New system? New larger price to play on the new system.

IIRC the original US copyright law as written by the founders was 25 years or so. The extensions on that have all been in the last 70 years or so due to mega corps like Disney.

The problem with Musk and Dorsey is that they want the copyright laws to apply to them but no one else. “Rules for thee but not for me” mentality of the wealthy.

I can honestly see a use case for this. But without backing it up with some form of technical understanding, I think you’re just asking for trouble.

If you are believing what those things are popping out wholesale without double-checking to see if they’re feeding you fever dreams you are an absolute fool.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single statement come out of an LLM that hasn’t had some element of daydreamy nonsense in it. Even small amounts of false information can cause a lot of damage.

What exactly is the benefit of using an LLM? Why would I bother using one at all?

You realize that the only reason Lemmy hasn’t become so enshitified is because the user base is too small for the corpos to seriously target it yet. The day Lemmy has more than a million users the army of bots will not be too far behind.

the USA offer: less morality, less market

Europe needs a different partner

The OG CEO is from the 1800s so yeah. And yes I’m thinking of Iwata. And look at what was produced during his tenure. That’s the Nintendo everyone is nostalgic about nowadays. 1989 Nintendo was a corporation throwing spaghetti at the wall, 2000’s Nintendo was streamlining the end gamer experience, 2020’s Nintendo is looking for an easy paycheck.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

Let me spell it out for you. Trump has removed our cyber defenses and now he’s defunding FOSS projects like Tor and Let’s Encrypt!…

Now Trump wouldn’t know a FOSS project from a hole in the ground but do you know who does? What world leader who has an entire cyber attack force on his payroll and wants to remove any barriers in finding dissidents who are probably using Tor to coordinate and hide from them?

Do the math. If the government funding of these projects is allowed to be removed it’s gonna be a whole new ballgame on the internet and the only ones to reap the benefits are the dictators.

You will never approach the amount they receive from government funding. That is the point.
