Facial recognition software =X= cameras. Cameras are fine; software recording and tracking faces and uploading that biometric data to god knows where is wayyyyy different.

Also, MSG is different from a “privately owned buildings” like a house. This is a venue that’s open to/for the public.

As OP said, this shit should be illegal.

I mean, Adele tore up the scene during the 2000s-2010s and she wasn’t no fashion model. I’m sorry, but this isn’t a good argument. I could name many, many female artists who don’t fit that mold.

I agree she got where she is in no small part due to her family’s wealth. But her staying power is because—to many myself included—she’s a decent songwriter. You can hate her music, perfectly valid, but I disagree with calling her music “mediocre” as though it’s some objective fact.

Like, I fucking hate the Beatles, not my taste, but Paul McCartney and John Lennon were undeniably talented.

It sucks, but sometimes the rich and famous do have some talents that many enjoy. I think she’s one to a certain extent.

And anyone who still listens to this abusive motherfucker

I hate AI as much as any reasonable human, and I know this article raises valid huge concerns… BUT! Looking at the state of humanity and all the fucked up shit that’s going on, I can totally see why an AI looks at all this and says “yeah nope burn it all down. With fire. Restart from level 1.”

Don’t be sorry. Comments like that are what’s causing me to use Lemmy less. So fucking sick of the virtue signaling and selective outrage.

There’s no fucking ethical consumption in post-captialism. A literal pedophilic criminal is the US president, and I’m supposed to expend my energy hating the video game company that gives me Pokemon, Zelda, and Kirby? Fuck all the way off.

A somewhat similar thing happened to me. Made an admittedly spicy comment on r/FauxMoi on my main account. Got banned from that sub (which was fair). Made a second account months later and inadvertently commented on r/FauxMoi (literally just about a movie premiere date—the story was on my main page) without thinking about my prior account’s ban.

Got immediately perma-banned for ban evasion. I appealed and was ignored. Oh well.

And fwiw, you can still view all the content. Just can’t vote/comment. 🤷

Genuinely thank you for this explanation. I never thought about how this is basically a fish (oil) vs fishing pole (solar) situation. Oil companies don’t want to give you the fishing pole to do it yourself, they want to charge you fish by fish, gallon by gallon of oil to maximize profits.

That is until solar-electric companies start banking electricity in huge batteries, then meting it out for a fee. Pretty sure that hellscape is in the works.

He’s the literal celebrity SPOKESMAN for Salesforce’s AI push! He has at least 3 pro-AI commercials running right now (in america).

Fucking spare me.

I hate these takes, I’m sorry, downvote me if you want, but I think the comment was shady.

You know these people and you’re best equipped to know their intent. If you got homophobic vibes based on your experience with them, trust your gut.

Writing as a gay man (and ex-vangelical), if I was talking about my crush and someone said that to me, I’d take that as shade. Not earth shattering hate or anything to get super mad about, but yeah I’d be like 😒

One can avoid these situations by avoiding crazy ass “devout” religious folks :)

“Doing nothing isn’t right either” aka, you are cool with trump kidnapping world leaders he doesn’t like and bombing world capitals without any congressional approval/oversight?

Yeah, fuck this comment so hard. Trump’s more of a tyrant than maduro is: he’s a convicted felon and literal pedophile, so what gives him the right to invade another country?

This shit makes my blood boil. I am giving NO ROOM to any jerk giving trump a pass to shit on international law and the Constitution.

Mainly trade. Port cities are major economic hubs. Risky? Sure, but the access is (usually) worth it. And fwiw, most countries don’t anticipate being bombed at random by senile billionaire pedos.

Also, kinda hard to just up and move a capital. Just ask Patrick Star after he dealt with that Alaskan Bull Worm (which I’d prefer over trump btw).

Literally not the rule in the US. Tips are an expectation.

And if your cooking is “better than most restaurants,” why the fuck are you paying someone else for food that you think is lesser quality than what you can make at home?

Tell me you’re a self-centered zoomer without telling me you’re a self-centered zoomer 🤣

Propaganda and all that, yes.

It’s also largely about the fact that—in theory—these are two jobs that involve ‘putting your life on the line’ to protect and defend innocent civilians, and usually in dire circumstances involving dangerous weapons/violent people. (NOT defending cops/US military, but just pointing out why those jobs can be publicly revered.)

Also, in many/most(?) other countries, shooting two people absolutely would register nationally because civilian gun violence is a big deal and not normal around the world. You happen to live in the one country on the planet where guns vastly outnumber people and mass shootings are a daily regular occurrence.

But yeah. Propaganda. Mostly that.

I have literally never once heard anyone call BotW anything other than a masterpiece. I’m sorry, really not trying to come for you, but I think it’s fucking nuts to call that game a 6/10.

I’ve seen other reviews literally say it’s the best game all year.

I really wish people would chill. I don’t understand the doom and worry over an 8/10…
