Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • Why do you say that tech savvy people are "most opposed to AI?" Don't conflate "the membership of this small social media bubble called 'technology'" with tech-savvy people in general. Lots of tech savvy people are developing and using AI, where else do you think it's coming from?

    The problem here is that we've got a small crowd with a strong opinion, constantly shouting their opinion to each other and making an unfriendly environment to anyone who doesn't share that opinion. So of course it seems like "everyone" shares that opinion, you never see otherwise.

  • US pauses implementation of $40 billion technology deal with Britain

    Jump

  • Basically, the US is impossible to negotiate with right now. Probably for quite some time to come, until they've been sufficiently humbled by the consequences of their actions. So anyone hoping for a meaningful trade deal that's even slightly fair is going to be waiting for the condition "the United States learns humility". Good luck on that.

  • Mozilla Appoints New CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo

    Jump

  • Oh no, we wouldn't want to have an open source browser capable of using AI tools, that should be entirely left to the closed source browsers. Those are much more "trustworthy."

  • New Mozilla CEO: "[Firefox] will evolve into a modern AI browser"

    Jump

  • Sheesh. Out of the 20 comments in this thread this is the only one that actually addressed the contents of the article, the rest of them were all talking about what other browser they were using or going to be using now or just vaguely griping about how much they hate AI.

    Are there any other Firefox communities that are actually about Firefox?

  • New Mozilla CEO: "[Firefox] will evolve into a modern AI browser"

    Jump

  • This word "optional", I do not think it means what you think it means.

  • Looking for witchy, gothic, mischievous, or devilish songs for my DND character

    Jump

  • There are some AI music generators out there with free tiers, Suno or Udio or Minimax come to mind, you could try those out. I use AI-generated music frequently in my tabletop roleplaying games, both as DM and as a player, it's nice to be able to whip up stuff with completely custom lyrics to fit any situation.

  • Reddit Cares

    Jump

  • Really? That wouldn't be more "whining?"

    It's pretty simple, though. I complained about the comic, you complained about me complaining about the comic. If one of those is a problem then surely the other is too. If the solution for me is to just shut up and endure it, that's your solution too.

    Personally, I think a position of "can we please not turn the Fediverse into an echo of Reddit" is more appropriate here than a position of "stop complaining about the Fediverse turning into an echo of Reddit". But you do you I guess. It's a free community.

  • Reddit Cares

    Jump

  • Same to you.

  • Reddit Cares

    Jump

  • It's showed up in two different communities that I'm subscribed to. I commented in one of those and that's when I got accused of "whining." This is the second community I'm subscribed to where it showed up, and I commented about the other comment I made about it here. The two communities are about completely different subjects.

    The instance I'm on shows me where it's been crossposted to, there's at least four other communities it's in. I didn't comment on any of those since I'm not subscribed there.

    But yeah, I'm the one who's stalking.

  • Reddit Cares

    Jump

  • Imagine downvoting a comic from a very annoying artist that many people have gone to lengths to avoid.

    Pizzacake is the only person I've blocked on Reddit because I was sick of all the drama that arose whenever she posted anything. Now her content is following me here to the Fediverse, and the drama too - when I explained my dislike over on this comic communty I got accused of being the one who was "stalking". It's like there's something in the water whenever her comics show up.

  • Australian PM proposes tougher national gun laws after mass shooting in Sydney

    Jump

  • Are you suggesting that gun control laws cause arson? Like, I want to rob some guy but I don't have a gun, guess I'll set him on fire?

  • my_ex_supervisor_irl

    Jump

  • While writing an opinion piece on the Gollum effect in 2022, Valdez realized that no one had studied territorial behavior in academic research—claiming of specific ideas and topics, samples, or study sites—and its potential impact on the academic research community.

    He then declared it to be called "The Valdez Principle", piled all of his data on it in the corner of his office, and sat on top of it hissing at anyone who approached while brandishing a halberd.

  • Podcast industry under siege as AI bots flood airways with thousands of programs

    Jump

  • 🍺 🍻

    Jump

  • I make a point of referring to birds as "feather-bugs", much to the weary resignation of my RL friends.

  • Does everyone have an opposite gender name they would use?

    Jump

  • I'd have to stop and think because I've used two variations of a feminine version of my name in previous circumstances where this has come up and I don't know which i prefer.

  • Does everyone have an opposite gender name they would use?

    Jump

  • Ok.

  • How do I clean one of these? (tenis ball lookalike for dogs)

    Jump

  • The owner gets to decide whether OP's presents go through to the dog, and in the extreme case whether to continue being friends with OP.

    A dog's owner is their guardian. It's important to get their buy in if you want to give their dog something. This is perfectly reasonable.

  • Is it a bad idea to learn Russian because of everything?

    Jump

  • I'm Canadian so I wouldn't know firsthand, but is there any remaining bad blood in Europe about the Romans conquering so much of it? Might want to be careful busting out the Latin in some neighbourhoods, just in case someone's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather got killed by Roman soldiers or sold into slavery or something and they're still sore about that.

  • How do I clean one of these? (tenis ball lookalike for dogs)

    Jump

  • If this is specifically made for dog use then they presumably used a dog-tooth-friendly material for the fibrous cover.

    Jump

  • The dog's owner will, though.
