Honestly, a good portion of them probably are the alt right. For some reason leftists on Lemmy have been taken in by this idea that everyone they talk to who purports to be a leftist must be taken at their word in good faith, even if everything they say literally sounds like a right-wing parody of leftism.
The fact that this vulnerability exists necessitates that we assume it's being used.
Why did the economist walk straight past a $1000 bill sitting in the middle of the sidewalk? Because if it had been there someone would have already picked it up.
It would be absolutely absurd to assume that no conservatives are cosplaying as leftists spouting exactly the stuff they accuse leftists of spouting and doing everything they can to disrupt any form of leftist solidarity. It's a $1000 bill sitting in the middle of the sidewalk that we can literally watch them picking up if we're not too willfully naive to acknowledge that it's happening.
Would you leave a secure server open with the password to the root account literally on the front page? No? Then why is anyone leaving this vulnerability wide open and pretending it isn't?
I think it's just jabbing at our early assumptions about dinosaurs seemingly lacking much in the way of bulk. We used to interpret them as these ultra-skinny weirdly mummified looking things rather than the plumper creatures many of them probably were.
The idea is that aliens find skeletons of animals we're more familiar with and come to the same kind of wildly mistaken conclusions about them that we might have if we'd found rabbit skeletons without having first hand experience of modern rabbits.
What is this shady, unsubstantiated, posted yesterday ass random github repo trying to encourage people to compromise their email security and why is it worth posting?
Element really needs to get push to talk. It's an incredibly basic feature to be missing, and for me personally and I'm sure others the lack of it is a deal breaker.
Hah, no. It's in the felt art style, but not in your protruding eyeballs unix surrealism style (as much as I love it). Though I might throw in a reference or two somewhere if you're up for it.
It's a dialogue-centric RPG with a lot of retro point-and-click adventure influence. But it is post-apocalyptic, and it does include some post-human animal looking people and fantasy-creature-adjacent characters.
I would play the shit out of a Techno-Mage game, though.
Thanks! I'm making a game in the style, soooo at the moment I'm keeping the details a bit under wraps. But I'll post about it here (on SDF and Lemmy in general) once it's out and may be more forthcoming then!
GIMP is honestly fantastic. My workflow goes draw in GIMP, import to Inkscape to convert pieces to vector, then bring them into Godot where shaders get applied. I would rather draw in GIMP than any other program. I find drawing in Inkscape super awkward in comparison. GIMP is pretty no-frills, but it does the job. I prefer it over Photoshop. With Darktsble I've found it useful for importing high res raw images for textures too.
I don't know why people hate on it so much. It's all about using the tools you're comfortable with.
JK Rowling is definitely totally harmless, though, and we're all obligated to separate the art from the artist, and the populatity of Harry Potter has literally nothing to do with her social clout or ability to push her ideology.
This headline is bullshit. The correct headline would be "Americans now face 245% Trump tariff on Chinese goods". No need to spread misinformation about how tariffs work.
Honestly, this is what blocking is for. Sure, it's useful for toxic or obnoxious people, but it's also useful for people who make a mess of your feed consistently.
Once I sat in a field listening to Victor Wooten and whistling along with him. On a fence nearby was I think a brushed shouldered blackbird? Brushed shouldered something. It started singing with me and doing a little dance. Eventually it even started syncopating its part. Like, you could see it waiting for the timing to be just right for each note. On key and everything. Went on for about half an hour.
I'm not sure that checks out. I mean, fair, I do think that someone being habitually cruel toward AI might not be the greatest indicator of their disposition in general, though I'd hesitate to make a hasty judgement on that. But if we take AI's presentation as a person as fictional, does that extend to other fictional contexts? Would you consider an evil play-through in a video game to indicate an issue? Playing a hostile character in a roleplay setting? Writing horror fiction?
It seems to me that there are many contexts where exhibiting or creating simulated behavior in a fictional environment isn't really equivalent to doing so with genuine individuals in non-imaginary circumstances. AI isn't quite the same as a fictional setting, but it's potentially closer to that than it is to dealing with a real person.
By the same token, if not being polite to an AI is problematic, is it equally problematic to repeatedly say things like "human" and "operator" to an automated phone system until you get a response? Both mimic human speech, while neither ostensibly have a legitimate understanding of what's being said by either party.
Where does the line get drawn? Is it wrong to curse at fully inanimate objects that don't even pretend to be people? Is verbally condemning a malfunctioning phone, refrigerator, or toaster equivalent to berating a hallucinating AI?
