Shit like this used to happen constantly when I bought a phone provided by my carrier. Stopped as soon as I bought an unlocked phone from the manufacturer.

It’s almost always your carrier pulling stupid stunts like this and not Google/Android.

an incredibly tame room by today’s standards.

I got cents for some of mine at GameXrazy

Looney “Toons” is the stupidest one.

It was always a pun on toons by spelling it “Tunes” and because music is extremely prominent for it.

You always were such a kidder Steve.

yes, it never went away, only the number was removed.

Assume they don’t want to and can’t be corrected, because there’s a 99% chance that’s exactly the case.

Correct them once and move on, last say doesn’t mean shit when they’re wrong.

and in case you are wrong, acknowledgement goes a long way. be the example, but don’t expect it from anyone else.

they probably ran out of gas

Lemmy has been a cesspool of uncited posts since its inception, what makes you think it’s gonna change now just cuz some clown keeps snipping off artist/creator names on memes and comics.

I go to a channel for anime art and I open a post and the “source” is fucking Xcancel or Danbooru, an image board, both of which have fuck-all to do with* actually supporting* the artist. Thankfully, I know how to navigate that site to find the actual source, or at the very least the artist’s socials. But the average user likely doesn’t.

I do hope that changes, but it’s kinda too late in the game to start calling it out, when most of the stuff on Lemmy is already uncredited.

then assume it was unethically trained.

Major investor is ‘shocked and sad’ they’re not seeing returns on AI.

xiv is worse.

It’s not a new word though, it’s an onomatopoeia that dates back to late 50s science fiction, specifically in regards to robots, because that was the sound you would expect a moving metal husk to make.

Star Wars is what adopted the term to refer to the many droids of their universe. The droids are cheap, mass produced weapons used by the antagonists of the series, and therefore clanker is used to refer to them. Droids are the bad guys, bad guys = clankers, AI is seen as the bad guys, clanker = AI.

I prefer this cover, but I would never dare call it a Nirvana song. No respect for Bowie.

ADDRESS ME.

It’s a photo of their TV screen, phone cameras like to denoise images and sharpen edges and a picture of a noisy TV screen is the perfect candidate for smearing the shit out of an image.

but it’s not a rapper.

this only would’ve been a tiny bit amusing if you asked grok and it said no.

The other kids are the ones with pumped up kicks.

all the older ones at least had some kind of meaning behind them, this new shit is actual brainrot.
