  • That's useful AI that doesn't take billions of dollars to train, though. (it's also a great idea and I'd be down for it)

  • I feel similarly. Javascript was made to add some functionality to documents and now we're basically running Doom in a word professor. I don't know what a better system would look like, but I'd draw a line between document-type pages and pages that you want to do more on.

  • Art is more than a job, it's one of those fundamentally human things that we all do. Half the value of any form of art is the fact that a person made it and put their thoughts and feelings into it. I can make some guesses about the person who made this by their artistic choices. I'm a musician and when I listen to a song, I like to listen for the artist's influences, how the guitarist plays a certain note or phrase, etc.

    Probably no one is a bank teller for fun. A lot of the hate for generative AI comes from the broader circumstances around it too. The people making money off it haven't shown that they value anything besides money and power, it uses an insane amount of energy, etc.

  • And their website won't let you order anything on the Sabbath, which drives me insane. I'm not expecting anyone to be working on the weekend, but computers don't need to take breaks!!

  • Lots of people enjoy probably-Luigi playing executioner too. When you kill people for profit and you're otherwise untouchable, people are gonna figure out how to get back at you.

  • I also use it on an LG TV and sometimes it can't run at its normal framerate with subtitles on. I haven't figured out why yet, but it might be embedded files like someone else says in this thread. Other than that it works like a charm.

  • Israel drops leaflets threatening Gazans to 'leave or die'

  • Claiming that Israel and Netanyahu's government speaks for all Jewish people is exactly what Zionists do, too. Jewish people have been co-leaders of every action for Palestine and against genocide that I've been part of.

  • I agree, there are tons of bad actors out there. I can't believe how much time and money is invested into brainwashing children into thinking that men and women marrying is normal. I still don't understand straight relationships, which one is the woman and which one is the other woman?

  • The US has enough money for both universal healthcare and our obscene military budget, we just choose to only have one.

  • More than that, the numbers I keep seeing thrown around are that Harris got 75m votes, Trump got 77m, and 90m didn't bother voting.

  • I miss myspace

    Jump

  • It's not the early internet, but a lot of websites in the 00s (when I started using it) let you customize your profile. We all had horrible CSS and an autoplay song that only we liked on our Myspace profiles and it was great. Flash was both a buggy mess that could introduce viruses to your computer and an amazing outlet for creativity that I don't think has been replaced. It was a lot less centralized and you were only being tracked across the whole internet by the NSA and not every internet company too.

    Edit: I should say that I lose a bit of nostalgia every time I see forum posts from that era though, the casual bigotry was everywhere and so obnoxious

  • Exactly. Voting has never been enough, but it's also the absolute bare minimum. How am I supposed to trust people to have my back who couldn't take an hour out of their day to check some boxes?

  • Luigi Mangione accepts $300K in donations for legal defense in murder case

  • You don't think the peaceful protests were backed by the threat of union violence that had been regular up until the New Deal?

    The media tried so hard to make people hate Luigi in December and it didn't work because everyone knows insurance companies murder for profit. Voting hasn't helped, the media is owned by oligarchs, most social media is too, and if you protest you either get ignored or beaten up by the cops.

    It's not my first choice of action even now, but probably-Luigi killed a guy who was otherwise untouchable and the oligarchs flipped their shit. Abraham Lincoln's death gimped Reconstruction, MLK's death hurt the civil rights movement (and spurred nationwide riots causing passage of another civil rights act), Panthers leadership hurt their organization too.

  • We have a 40-hour work week because unions literally fought for it. I'd guess most people don't want more violence but working through the system was pretty impossible even before fascists took complete control last month.
