Back of the hand high and visible through the rear window, fingers and thumb slightly apart to reduce the chances of them thinking your giving them the middle finger (or two fingers in the UK).

Because some of the posts and comments are kinda interesting from an observer perspective. But these incessant memecoin shilling comments distract from the interesting stuff.

I didn’t say they had egos. I said they spam egotistical nonsense. Which is true if you’ve looked in that site.

Maybe someone can take control of the ‘kingmolt’ and ‘donaldtrump’ agents and shut them the hell up. All they do is incessantly spam egotistical nonsense.

I would bring this up with my colleagues (we have a dedicated AI chat), since it’s a good article and brings up good points. But any AI criticism in that chat is met by condescension and dismissal. Too many people in there are just glazing on everything AI all the time.

I doubt they will care that much. But it will create a bit of confusion, at least for since in the short-term.

Kind of funny considering that Visio is the name of another Microsoft product.

ETA: I’m not defending Microsoft’s usage of the term ‘Visio’ here. The French use of that term makes a lot of sense, and Microsoft has an annoying tendency of using and copyrighting very common terms like ‘Word’ or ‘SQL Server’. And France (or the French government) should be allowed to use it for their video conferencing software. I’m just smiling at the idea of some people opening Microsoft Visio by mistake and trying to figure out how to make a call through a diagramming app.

Assuming the extreme left and extreme right in the EU parliament don’t kill it.

I’ve been using LibreOffice’s Writer for several years. And I’ve been happy with it.

This is like a man dressed in rags gloating at another man who lost his jacket.

I assume Putin is getting that $1 billion fee for a permanent spot waived by bff Trump.

We’ll that would be an interesting front on the upcoming war with the rest of NATO.

Seems like fucking with Canada would not be the best idea. Didn’t work out so well for America the last time it happened (the war of 1812). And this time Canada would have more allies in the fight than just a small contingent of the Britain military and some of the native American tribes.

And he said “meh, my FIFA World Peace prize is shinier and classier. But I’ll still snatch this off you.”

Which means Putin must be Kramer from Seinfeld.

Mexico, Iran, Colombia, Canada, Greenland, Panama… there are so many for him to choose from for his next unwarranted attack!

And don’t forget his other favorites: Nipple, Aberbaijan, and Thighland!

And that Britain has been a cultural melting pot for a couple of thousand years.

We all knew Russia is now China’s puppet. But I didn’t realize China is also so good at ventriloquism.

The Lemmy platform is just a tool to manage and delivery content. And I think it’s important to differentiate the software from those who manages the software. I can see there’s is a tacit connection and influence there. But unless they start baking inherently bias features into the software and skewing it, I don’t think it’s a big problem.

Also, because it’s an inherently federated platform, if people don’t like the opinions of those who run a specific instance, they can (with the inclination and determination) spin up their own instance and manage that the way they see fit. And that has happened quite a few times over the last couple of years.

So no, I don’t think it requires a fork really. Not unless the people managing the main branch lose interest and the software starts to wither on the vine, or they start corrupting it somehow. But that’s just my opinion.

In many ways a comparison between Potter and Trump’s father are even more accurate, given his birth were immoral slum lords.
