This comes up every once in a while. Apparently there are a surprising number of people on Lemmy who are still commited to using audible notifications.

Well sure, but it is more than that. Advertising ,broadly, is literally there expressly to manipulate your emotional state. Social media just gives them more info about your state so they are much more effective at it.

That's a dodge worthy of slippery Don himself. We both know that "wishing" someone to die and calling for someone to die are both toxic discourse and doing so where Trump is involved is toxic as well as dangerous.

Kyle was no doubt saying it flippantly to be funny. And Id probably laugh if a friend of mine said it and I was at a private birthday party. I have that luxury because I am not a public figure. Jack Black, however, very much IS a public figure (as is Kyle, albeit somehat less famous,) which brings with it much more scrutiny and no doubt a different calculus.

Again, Kyle said theyre still friends and all is forgiven so this was all just an excuse to insert your toxicity into another lemmy thread.

Nice strawman. Where did anyone in this coment thread say anything about him or anything he has done being fine?

Nah, fuck that. You just threw that bullshit out there because you cant stand that I do not and will not support the normalization of political violence as acceptible. At least attempt to scold me for something I actually wrote.

I thought the figure was that he likely caused an additional 461K, but Im happy to round up to a million, as that was a while ago, iirc. Unfortunately, "he may have caused a million excess covid deaths" isnt going to cut it in any kind of criminal justice proceding. So be sure to bring receipts. Ive no doubt he has done lots of things deserving of the death penalty, but youll need to show quite a bit stronger a causal link.

Now go ahead and downvote me for not being radical enough to suit you.

CallingWishing for the assassination of a political figure (especially one who is currently the sitting president, tho iirc, he was a candidate at the time) is pretty widely viewed as a red line and is very dangerous ground to tread for an American public figure, which he is.

Im pretty sure any "mean" thing he did is between him and Gaas, who has said they remain friends and will tour again as the D. Sounds like he is forgiven for anything you may have perceived as "mean." It seems like that should satisfy anyone with genuine concerns about his friend.

Or are you just canceling anyone whose rhetoric you view as insufficiently hateful towards Trump? (Dont answer that, it was rhetorical.)

edit: forgot it was a "wish"

Smart. Anything to avoid learning!

I suppose it is possible the submitter used AI uncredited, but I doubt it. For one thing, there are other images of the same models in the artist's page. Second, the state of AI image generation when this was submitted (June 2023) was pretty terrible for things like this.

More likely is that the image "looks like AI" to you because most image generation models were trained on Common Crawl, which includes at least tens of thousands of curated (royalty-free) images. In other words, AI models generate images that look like stock photos because that is what they know how to generate.

In one word? austerity.

But seriously, she probably is not even close to "universally" disliked. Lemmy (or the Internet in-general) is not a representative sampling of the population. For example, a sizable portion of their population voted for Brexit (many of whom now regret it.) You probably wont hear much from them on Lemmy, tho.

Fossil fuels definitely turbo-charged our technological developement. Cheap portable energy and petrochemicals. Guaranteed to be addictive. And without then, or some other comparable miracle, it would have taken us many times longer to get where we are.

We are like someone who only ever played Civ with cheats and we're going to find out soon how hard the game is without (and... because of) that magic black goo from the ground.

I figured that out once and now I always break that out when someone references the sound of one-hand clapping. It gets me mostly eye-rolls which as a dad are my life's blood.

I agree that China is on the side of China.

My sentence was poorly worded. I was referring specifically to "the chinese" who were in Ukraine fighting for Russia. I would have written China if i meant the nation.

Yeah, the Trump Recession (we hope not a full-blown depression) will have been uniquely caused as well. Definitely one for the history books.

But this is more than 1MP. It is 1.2MP. ;)

i do miss the stylus (and removable battery, and microSd) from the Note series, but not enough to give up control over my phone's OS.

Maybe if they catch on, we can have a pixel with a stylus.

Im normally the one wishing for less politics on Lemmy, but at some point you have to draw a line and define what you actually mean by "too political." Of course, then you'd need to have someone curate media just for you that adheres to that standard... because simple keywords aint gonna cut it. Orrrr, I guess you could just cut off ALL new media.

This isnt some petty political scuffle. This is a trade war that is currently crashing the global economy. China cutting off minerals isn't really "politics", per se, at least in the way most people mean it. It is war: An economic war that looks increasingly likely to end up in the shooting kind.

If that is the case (meaning they are not PLA active duty,) it is not functionally different than the Americans and other nationalities who volunteer for Ukraine.

Obviously (to me, at least) the Chinese and the orcs are on the wrong side of history, but regardless this isnt really "new news" at all. It has been effectively a global war since the first month of this phase of the conflict (started more like 2014 or arguably much earlier.) Call it WW3 or not, all the major players are involved one way or another. I guess it differs primarily in the scope of their involvement.

Zardoz was a documentary.

EXPLOSIONS!!!??!
