  • Dude was a massive piece of shit. No one simped harder for Marine Le Pen.

    I love how the "only good nazi is a dead nazi" folks are suddenly nowhere to be seen when the nazi is made dead by a Muslim (allegedly). If he actually was killed in the name of religious extremism, I see it as a nazi being murdered by a nazi-adjacent, so kind of a win win. Yet I'm seeing people mourn this guy for some reason and I can only attribute this phenomenon to either internalized islamophobia in the entire political spectrum or Israeli astroturfing.

  • The bad guys did a sufficient job of dismantling your joke of a democracy while the good guys had the presidency. I'm not saying that they're the exact same, hence why I'm differentiating between good and bad. Obviously the good guys give more of a shit about the lives of the populus. I'm just making the observation that the good guys don't seem all that broken up about losing.

  • I keep seeing people say stuff like this, but are you seeing the good guys do anything? The article itself said that they're now getting together to discuss how they can start stopping the bad guys. So one begs to ask the question, what have they been doing thus far?

  • Mmmhm, Republicans are more likely to tackle Big Tech issues by funding them with a cold hard 500 billion smackaroos for AI research, right? /s

    Gimme a fuckin' break. D being trash doesn't excuse this blatant endorsement of R. Never entertain the whims of the far right, no matter how sweetly they sing to you. History has taught us better.

  • Honestly the lesson I took away from this is to not vendor-lock myself if I can help it. Maybe it'd be better to have a domain through which you can route incoming emails to any inbox? That way you can just hotswap email services if their CEO turns out to be a cannibal or something.

  • I'll be honest, I'm just hoping this AI shit calms down. Every 5-6 new papers published in the Journal of Computer Science is some AI slop. Like we get it, it's fun filling a big ass matrix with weights which then inadvertently solve a problem you have. Could I please have some novel research that probably won't go anywhere anytime soon but is kind of fun to think about and tinker with?

  • I migrated literally everything from Gmail around 2021. Gotta tell ya, I feel just about dumb as shit right now. I kind of understand people with those "I bought this before he sieg heiled" bumper stickers on their Teslas.

  • While Israel is crashing the fuck out and fragging kids during the ceasefire, Muskolini hit a sieg that the fuhrer would have trouble matching in energy. That shit had momentum to it. He wound that mother up like Popeye. Don't let me catch anyone calling this a dogwhistle.

    If you can afford to not purchase american goods & services and you're not doing so, you're complicit. Let it be known.

  • From an outsider's perspective, it seems to me that the US got here by not being equally as petty. Lie, cheat, defame, appeal to tribalism, argue in bad faith. Populism is the meta and democrats need to get with it, cuz the whole world is on the line.

  • I understand him having these views. Money was exchanged behind closed doors, deals were struck, whatever. I can imagine a financial incentive for him to sow dissent via shitty meme. I don't understand what's in it for his followers. Is it just about being contrarian? What more must he do or say for it to be clear to them that he's just kind of a bozo?

  • I'm sure the legion of bots that comprise their user base won't mind.

  • You're giving Elmo too much credit as this Machiavellian character. Ordinary capitalist. Appeasing your investors is the most common commercial reason. It's just that advertisers can't really provide twitter with business anymore on account of his bigoted optics, but dangerous governments can.

  • He's so transparent with his intentions, it's embarrassing. The only explanation of removing your own tool to combat misinformation is because it does not align with your own interests. There's no way to spin that fact in a positive light and yet there will still be people using twitter. It's actually getting really fucking hard to not be a misanthrope.

  • Precisely what I'm talking about. They can afford to do so, since they lost the trust of the user about 2 statements from the CEO ago.

    And not to go too deep into it, but how the hell are you going to create a brand new pricing scheme in only "a couple of days", without already having a draft of it ready? Don't you wanna check in with your lawyer? Your CFO? This shit must take more than 2 days to do.

  • We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

    Allow me to translate:

    We're now publishing the terms that we were actually going for from the very beginning. We've always known that the flaming bag of shit that we laid on your doorstep was unreasonable. If it worked, it worked, but if it didn't, it can stand in contrast to the new less shit terms that you're either supposed to agree to or rewrite your whole game. Not like our PR was great before this gambit. What have we to lose?

  • Like laying down a mighty fart just as the elevator doors close, Unity management abandon the aircraft they were supposed to captain on their golden parachutes. The corporate money making machine continues to chug on.

  • Writing is firmly on the wall, gang. All I see is patch notes for the wars for arable land meta.

  • It's a brand new flavor of bullshit that people need to adjust to. In the same way that you may be wary of clicking certain links, reading spam mail, not giving personal info out, we will need to have an extra sensor in our brains for how LLM-y a user is.

  • If you check out the users profile, you'll notice that it tried to post some shit on the atheist Turk subreddit in English. Primo bot behavior and dead giveaway. Also the Turks didn't seem to enjoy it much.

    By perusing further, you might notice that the majority of people don't notice that they are conversing with a fucking bot. This is profoundly upsetting shit

  • Yeah I just looked it up. Serving stuff through CF does a check for illicit material. Pretty neat. Be that as it may, the original complaint is that Lemmy is lacking moderation tools. Such a moderation tool would be something that disallows CSAM even being stored in the server in the first place.
