Yeah, seems like there needs to be a distro made for retrofitting various phones or something with those features. Maybe even using the zune hw.

Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American.

The rational would be, if two people are committing a crime, and one dies in the process, the other traditionally gets charged for their murder. The problem is, they were not committing a crime. Meanwhile, this ICE agent defied their own training to commit a murder.

To be fair, America now has the scale and bandwidth of misinformation that the Nazis never had.

Where are you getting the term “visual capitalist”? And why did you learn about this phenomenon today? Misinformation has been rampant for over a decade now.

Some people don’t have the luxury of being in the same place as the people they’re celebrating with. Jackbox games is a popular remote party game, but I am curious if there exists a similar, open, self hosted alternative.

It’s an appeal to non fediverse netizens to use the fediverse. He lists the usual pros: the services are designed to interact with each other, there’s no algorithm, it feels more old internet.

You misread what I said. For the fediverse to work, it needs to be distributed. OP said they didn’t see a stories community on “this instance” (was unclear whether they meant lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, but both are notoriously monolithic). Centralizing all users and communities onto a single instance is antithetical to the fediverse.

But then if there are riots, he can deploy the national guard.

And do you believe that you are representative of what most kids these days do in their free time?

I don’t know why you decided that this is a superiority complex

It is entirely possible you didn’t intend for it to sound like you believe writing is superior in some way to drawing.

I don’t trust other places because there’s no way to know if an AI story is created or not.

To be clear, there’s no way to know that here either. I’m not saying go to those other communities, I’m just answering the question about where everyone is.

This is what I imagine asklemmy posts would have looked like in the 1950s.

There are so many levels one could answer at. First off, we don’t want every community to exist on lemmy.world. Just because it doesn’t exist there doesn’t mean you need to make it. Second, I consider graphic novels/comics/manga to be just as out of fashion as books these days. AFAIK kids barely read at all anymore. Third, I consider drawing much harder than writing, but that’s a personal thing. Heck, both are trivially generated by AI these days, so the idea of having a superiority complex about one seems silly to me. Artists should stick together. In the same medium, if they want to.

If you don’t like seeing visual art next to written art, that’s a personal preference. I don’t think it says anything about the state of people’s brains that one community is larger than another, if anything, visuals are probably just easier to market in a world with a LOT of “content” going around. But at the end of the day, there just aren’t a whole lotta people using Lemmy. So I’m not surprised when you say a specific community doesn’t have a lot of activity. It could be that people interested in stories just have more established communities on [competing sites].

Maybe give it a second watch. Your proposal is literally what Einstein suggested, and what Bell’s experiment disproved.

Even if my parents never observed me, I would still be a boy.

Technically, quantum mechanics says no. This is the Schrodinger’s Cat situation.

What happens if a particle doesn’t get observed, does it not have spin?

It is said to be in a superposition of having both spins. It collapses to one spin when observed.

That just means it’ll be an officially supported conversion.

It’s crazy that the people can’t use impeachment to remove the president, but the president can unilaterally pardon unlimited crimes. One day in the future historians are going to be embarrassed for us.

Welcome to the internet. No one knows each other, no one considers context, no one reads past the headline, everyone makes snap judgements based on half understood heuristics, and then rushes to the comments to grandstand. A job that could be trivially done by AI, and almost certainly is, but instead we’ll all pretend like we’re the last bastion of human sanity.

Yeah, as a kid I definitely remember seeing the “kid pissing on <insert brand>” bumper stickers. Honestly, I never even recognized him as Calvin because it was so out of character for him. It wasn’t until years later that I was like, “hold up, that’s definitely Calvin, how was that ever allowed?”

Bill Watterson really doesn’t get enough credit for his integrity. He could have cashed in on C&H so many times, he still could, but he felt that even so much as a plush Hobbes would tarnish the canon and pervert the IP. He made a set of strips, he ended it before it overstayed its welcome, and he drifted back into obscurity. It’s possibly the only artwork that I would be perfectly fine to never see enter the public domain.

Never connect your TV to the internet.
