“Rachel Powell, a woman who rawdogged her husband multiple times for the purpose of procreation, was found guilty today.” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I’m starting to think we just need to rebrand green energy projects to sound more like a tech concept to trick people into liking it more.

It’s not solar, it’s LightWave.

Saying that you’d end a war by giving the aggressor everything they want is some real 10th dimensional Parcheesi.

It’s going to be really difficult to get most people used to the idea of decentralized federated services.

I think a combination of 3d animation and ‘ai postprocessing’ is probably the most effective result.

As much as I respect the rights of extras, they are expensive and easier to replace than lead actors. Disney already has things setup so extras never have to be on set with your lead actors, although you get a lot of backgrounds with ‘people just walking back and forth with no purpose’, but a bit more effort will mean those prefilmed backgrounds wont even require human actors, they barely do already.

I sharewared my firmware and got malware.

I believe this has more to do with pict-rs than Lemmy (the image handling back end that Lemmy uses). I’m struggling to find specifics on this from my phone right now though.

I think Web 2.0 is coming to an end because we’ve seen a decade of web sites and services balloon to enormous sizes with absolutely no sustainable business model. They finally peaked with their userbase, there is nowhere else to grow. Now it’s time to start making money. So how do you do that without ruining the experience and driving everyone off to the next big thing?

Not my problem I suppose.

Flatpaks are here to stay but they can exist alongside traditional packages.

If you’re being honest here you should know that the way you are speaking about these topics is very Russocentric. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt but it makes me wonder about your news diet. I understand why people think you might be acting in bad faith.

I never really cared about them tacking on a bunch of useless shit on top of Reddit. As a third-party-app and old.reddit user I kind of figured that if they monitized that piece and let me hang out in the underbelly then it wasn’t really a problem. Why not have the normies subsidize the denizens of the old reddit, it’s not like we aren’t using adblock anyway.

But now that they’ve killed off the API it’s only a matter of time before the come for old.reddit so I’m out before they get around to it.

I think you’ve just described the nature of copyright law, which is effective in some ways and ineffective in others.

I thought you were being intentionally obtuse but I see what you mean. Ukraine might not be a NATO member (yet), but that doesn’t mean that NATO wants Russia grabbing land from democracies that act as a buffer between them and Russia.

You might be technically correct but the distinction largely does not matter in terms of the West taking a hard line against military aggression in Eastern Europe.

I loved my Asus graphics card… Until it died.

I also loved my Asus Android tablet… Until a hardware problem that made it slower over time even after reformatting it thus eventually making it unusable. (Technically Nvidia’s fault I guess).

In theory their stuff is really great, but yeah I have definitely been burned by Asus in the past.

You’re working for the people who run the bots. Push the narrative and you’ll get paid.

Just remember. It’s not a lie… if you believe it…

Don’t pay your taxes and you should be killed.

Only if you’re a democrat. If you’re a republican then not paying your taxes is patriotic and supportive of ‘small government’.

It’s it’s optional, what’s the problem if I decline?

If it’s not optional, don’t we deserve to know more information about how this data is used and stored? It’s clearly not just taking a picture.

Yeah it’s likely that I’ll move this eventually. This instance was only setup so I had a test environment to learn AWS.
