  • The irony is that the T stands for Torino, Turin, the city card are supposedly being built, while FIAT became the italian symbol for offshoring

  • Che figata di serata!

  • Italian here, I had luck with my English teachers and my parents and then the internet encouraged me to learn extra

  • The needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many

    And that one is me

  • Omg I rewatched that episode last week and I didn't think of that, I assumed it was voiceover too, even thinking that is was slightly different than the normal Picard voice to fake it being mimicked 🫠

  • The sooner our society abandons individualism and goes back to community oriented structures, the faster these problems will disappear.

    Mass media, mass religion, mass communication, they all included manipulation. From telling lies, to telling only part of the truth, to salience and propaganda. AI is the latest scary tool.

    The issue is that we expect the individual to have the tools to defend themselves from this. That's not how it works. We need human connection, small family communities, where members help each others on the various aspects of life, including following public discourse and politics. When everyone has their sense of belonging to a place of care, the value of money and of the mass manipulations it uses falls and fails to accomplish a thing.

    Let's also stop believing that people vote mainly based on how easy it is to manipulate them. People vote based on their culture, their experiences, their overall mood on how things are going. The turnout in New York should show that. No fake news on Mamdani had an effect that comes even close to people's connection to a grassroots campaign, people's dissatisfaction with Trump and billionaires, people's cultural affiliation to a young immigrant that speaks of affordability, nurseries, and pride to be one's true self against discrimination.

  • Time limits on apps where I tend to have arguments on politics

  • Mmmmm that sounds to me like some digital sound with a slight flanger. Like a guitar-ish sample.

    LMMS has this Vibed instrument that starts from something pretty similar. You could play around with that, on a PC tho

  • He'd probably have a blast!

    He's always been easygoing and funny at conventions, there's a lot of videos where he impersonates Patrick Stewart (Cap. Picard)

  • What

    Jump
  • I had Mexican flatmates/neighbours during my master's abroad, and it was always funny to me how they casually insert English words while speaking, with a perfect American accent whilist talking Spanish

    As an Italian I might do that too, but the accent is nowhere near, we just need the word in English but pronunciation can be whatever

  • Straight to hen*

  • Me too, far more than on other platforms

  • This is based on one controversial source, an article written by a priest, to which the commission board decided to formally respond with concern, including for conflict of interest

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5567452/

    There is a whole discussion.

    The point of having sources is not to demonstrate a number is true, but to allow readers to see how scientific are the findings. You can read the discussion for yourself.

    This poster cherrypicks a controversial article that shows the numbers the poster authors wanted, despite it being an outlier in that research space

  • Of my two examples, one is a cooperative, indeed there are people in Spain who go work there, and the other one is not a country, but a people inside Turkey, that has to military defend their own existance

    I'd be very happy to go work in Mondragon or another worker cooperative. I was looking for a job in one yesterday

  • If you are interested on contemporary socialist economy professors talking about the experiences in the soviet union and in China, there are some, Richard Wolff is a nice one to start with. He carefully explains concepts of Marxism and to what extent they were applied in various cases, but then focuses on what current socialists advocate for.

    If you want working examples of non-capitalist systems, that are sorts of socialist systems, we have worker coops such as the Mondragon coop in Spain, or the Democratic Confederalism of Kurdistan

    If you are not interested in learning anything of socialism past what billionaires' propaganda tells you, you are very free to do so

  • "Those in control" should be the workers, otherwise it's not socialism, no matter how dictators like to call themselves

    "Everyone treated like crap except those in control" applies to capitalism too, especially in colonised countries

  • Popularity is a curse, and the fix for a fair economic life is anti-capitalism

    Capitalism will exploit people's qualities, if that is looks, they will exploit that too

  • Imagine have your parents control your looks

    Like, your parents growing up in the 80s deciding how you'll look in the 10s

  • Yes, I don't think it's a matter of training.

    The diffusion model generates pictures by starting on a canvas with random pixels, then it edits those pixel colours and carves the picture out of that chaos

    To achieve an area with all the same colour, it would need to put very exact values on the last generation step.

    It can be fixed easily with a very subtle lowpass filter, but that would be human intervention. The model itself will have a hard time replicating it
