  • i really should try, i seem to recall checking the paperwork and seeing it was JUST outside the window (surprise surprise), but who knows, maybe if i can work up the energy to pester them enough.

  • In a similar boat, I've thought about that but if I ever upgraded to a stronger real centralized PC I'd have to do a bunch of Docker setup and if anything breaks my whole system would go down. As it is, with piecemeal shitass laptops each running individual services I get lots of redundancy!

  • Oh yes

    Jump
  • Stare at the screen? Ugh, my stomach hurts. I'm gonna go lie down.

  • I'm glad he does post, and it's better than nothing, but I don't see him interact on mastodon much. I think his posts are just mirrored from bluesky

  • Beeg hamter

  • i didn't say earth was special. do you know what it takes for those elements to come together in a way that even begins to approach life? do we ever get brand new single celled organisms that have no relation to anything that currently exists? why does every organism we've studied seem to descend from a single ancestor if it's so easy for life to arise from a barren soup?

    we don't even know if we arose from that soup. maybe we're actually the aliens, delivered as a single frozen cell from some asteroid that crashed into earth. maybe! who knows! if people wanna write fanfic about the universe that's their business, but it's wildly frustrating how so many people pretend that fic has any scientific basis

  • Also, we just have literally no idea what it actually takes for life to come together. We have a sample size of one. Trying to come up with stats based on that is ridiculous, and until we actually come up with more evidence, saying either "oh there are definitely aliens" or "no there definitely aren't" just proves to me a person's willingness to make concrete statements on things they know nothing about.

  • Alleged, then lost in court.

  • Putting money into something does not make you a creator. Investor, sure. Patron, maybe. Not a creator.

  • He didn't create jack shit. He bought into a wave that had already been rising and took all the credit because it was his money funding the ads. But he got involved late and had little to no involvement in design. He was happy to destroy it because he sees more money in cozying up to this administration, getting regulations relaxed, and getting government subsides for his other investments.

    Just don't ever give him credit as a creator of any kind. He wrote some shitty early code for PayPal in the 90s or something. That's the most he's ever "created."

  • Is there an artist credit? I can't find one, and this looks an awful lot like it was generated. Claws and stinger are both very unusual, and the claw on the right is strangely mismatched to the left. It even has an extra pincer extending from nowhere.

  • Obviously you solve this by eating handfuls at a time

  • In before y'all are actually baiting me by pretending to be offended by censored swear words. You got me.

    No, it's not just you. I've never seen so many posts get completely wooshed as I have since I started browsing here. I think my most common "type it out then delete it" comment is typing out an explanation of the joke before remembering that whoever misunderstood it in the first place is not likely to react positively to having it explained.

    Also yeah it's wild how every single post with a censored word just gets flooded with self important "you can swear on the Internet" comments. Like... ok. Downvote then fuck off if you're not actually going to engage with the post.

    Honestly I wonder every single day what proportion of posts on this platform are fully automated.

  • To be fair, as the biggest instance, .world deals with the most bots and spam of any instance. Not surprising whatever countermeasures they've implemented also involve blocking some VPN-associated addresses; they've probably been used by bots before and were blocked due to having been abused, not specifically because they're associated with a VPN.

  • The camera itself looks like it's from the early 2000s, cool buy!

  • Must have been, for the doctor want to keep it

  • But, like, this one specifically. There are a hundred better examples you could point to for this. Earlier I saw a headline that there are censored random words like "and" or even "I." But claiming they lied about there being a real person's face on there is just self serving.

  • "We can't win an election without winning over this 1/3 that literally never votes for us, so we better piss off the other 2/3 that sometimes do"

  • This is just such a weird thing to call out as a lie. Pretty sure you're only doing it so you can validate your snap conclusion. Why would they lie about this? Its not like it makes them look better; pasting some victim's face over a revered piece of artwork so they can pervertedly leer at both simultaneously is not projecting the image they want. Maybe stick to calling out consequential, evident lies.
