This is why real scientists use the only reasonable real world measurement - a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum.

I think they meant low value as in low number, said in a positive way (16gb being a lower number than expected rather than a comment on the quality of it) at least that’s how I read it

Nooooo, you don’t get it. The poor artists are smug meanies so we are allowed to steal from them. If the poor artist just accepted the massive low ball offer than everyone would be happy and we’d have world peace probably.

As someone who pretends to be a cider, same, except always in the context of “huh, red squilly underline here, time to find where I missed the fucking semicolon”

This article came out just before the ZenFone 9, which I feel (quickly skimming the list) met all of their “ideal” criteria except the design focused ones. I rocked it for a good while, was a good phone and it is super nice having a small phone for every day carry, but after years of foldables it was just a bit too much for me and I ended up going back to the z fold series.

the problem is, from reading discussions around the time, that people either don’t want small phones, or they don’t feel premium enough (human bias is a helluva drug). I love the idea of a small weekend phone and hope something comes market that has all of the things this person wants (with a spec bump for 2025) cause I’d be super interested to give it a crack

Who’s cheating in Skate? That is such a wild thought that people would cheat in the “zone out and skate around in circles” game

Ok but why Charizard when primeape is right there, he’s practically angron with extra fur…

So using your instance names above, it would seem there would be four possible scenarios that you may take umbrage with:

• Y user posting content in a relevant z community
• Y user posting content in a non-relevant z community
• Y user posting a content related comment in a z community, relevant to the post.
• Y user posting a content related comment in a z community, irrelevant to the post

Content above defined howerever you want to identify the content you don’t want to see. Given this:

• Scenario A allows this content, defederating would not solve this issue, best action is to block the community.
• Scenario B does not allow the content, this would be removed as part of the community rules. If it is not, that is an issue within immunity moderation, not the content poster. Defederating does not solve this if its a moderation issue, because what’s to stop users from X,Y or Z posting the same content?
• Scenario C is similar to A and again defederating does not solve this issue.
• Scenario D again could be a moderation issue, but assuming it’s not (comment is relevant to other comments on the thread, and the post as a whole) then it is someone expressing an opinion relevant to the discussion (whether or not you agree with it) and does not need to be blocked (lest lemmy turn into even more of an echo chamber). If it is that much of an issue to you then block said user and move on - I struggle to believe that there would be more than a handful of users that fall into the “pro content being posted in irrelevant spaces” distinction.

This also ignores the fact that content from other users on instance Y would be lost also, even if those parties may not be “content”.

Lastly, specifically within the anti-ai space, I personally think it’s important to at the very least keep a surface level idea of what is happening, and engage in good faith those who hold opinions different to your own. If you don’t challenge your own ideals and understanding constantly, you risk reinforcing your own biases, and leave no space for growth. GenAi conceptually is an incredible technology that, imo suffers from two major issues, and many many minor ones. The two big ones being, the ethical issues when creating the models that we currently have (copyright, art theft etc) and the rabid implementation of it in places it was never needed/wanted, in their attempt to commodity everything (thanks for copilot in my notepad app m$, very cool!). This isn’t to say that the “minor issues” (environmental impacts, impact on the human psyche etc) aren’t as important.

Anyway, I don’t personally, see a way to rectify these issues, but I’m not a computerologist, and if (massive if) they managed to address these issues, I would hope I move from a “fuck ai” perspective to a “ai is acceptable when used responsibly” perspective. I personally wouldn’t want to be such an idealist that I missed these changes, because of the opinions I hold today.

TLDR: Defederation is a hammer when you probably need a scalpel. Also a bit of personal soap boxing (sorry not sorry)

I love the “mid leap sleep”. On their side, back legs stretched out long, front legs curled, tail curled around to got that golden ratio, perfection.

Draiman is a self-described “very strong supporter of Israel” and last June, he posted images of himself online signing an IDF bomb and appeared to write “Fuck Hamas” on it.

Jesus Christ. It’s so exhausting to continually hear of absolute depravity from people who I used to think were so cool (albeit for this loser, it was when I was like 14).

I mean, its a news article posted to a news forum. And if we look at the comments the parent comments for the top 7 threads are:

-unrelated anecdote -praose for the idea behind the festival -something removed (probably some random racist shit). Notably the child comments seem to call out the original sentiment. -a request for more info -tangential conversation about what defines a “major incident”

• the classic “OMG wtf”
• a comment likening this to another “needle panic”

I don’t know if your issue is with the content or the reactions but I don’t see how either points to the issues with social media. It’s a bit sensationalist and some of the comments arent exactly thought provokers, but there’s nothing (that I can see) that screams “social media bad”

Even to your point about boots, there are some people who are vegan (by their definition) and wear leather boots. Arguments can be made that leather will (in specific circumstances) result in less animal harm in the long run, and while I don’t personally justify leather this way, I can understand how some have these perspectives.

The real issue is labels. As soon as you apply one, you are subject to everyone else’s understanding of that thing. In my experience, if you don’t meet their understanding of said thing you’re dismissed as not being a “true x”, or it’s “if you truly are X then why do you do y?”

This is why I never refer to myself as vegan/vegetarian and just “I don’t eat meat” (or a more specific statement as needed).

I never say I’m a leftist/socialist I just gestures vaguely at American politics believe that’s kinda fucked and shouldn’t be done that way.

I even dislike saying I’m an urbanist because, even though I despise car-centric design, I’ve been called out for the sin of hiring a car when I visited my hometown last (generally I cycle everywhere or use PT, but I had an ankle injury so woe is me I guess)

At some level we’re all hypocrites, ones intentions are far more important, and shouldn’t be dismissed as easily as they are. What’s more important is to align your actions with your beliefs, be open about what you believe in, be open-minded when someone’s beliefs don’t align with your own, be ready to adjust your beliefs based on new information and experiences but most of all:

Be kind.

No! If we wait two more weeks then Iran will have nuclear weapons!

TBf they’ve cnanged a bunch since then, even still all they’ve really done is limited the PvP aspects.

If you love the PvE aspect of the game, then you aren’t missing anything in safe seas

Cries in non-eu, non-degoogled android

Yeah, sarcasm mate

Cool narrative you got there mate, problem is while the term “alum” was used for (far more than) 5 centuries, the words “aluminium” and “aluminium” were both coined around the same time, roughly 1810ish. Also, Sir. Davy, who coined the phrase that you hold dear, was British.

Tldr: every part of that statement is wrong

top 1.9% of only fans

This is a complete aside, but does anyone feel like putting “top 2%” sounds better than “1.9”?

Like when I hear top 2 percent I think wow this person is somewhere between 1.5 and 2% but 1.9 makes me think 1.90 to 1.99.

Maybe it’s just me.

I hate articles which are just “we watched this youtube video and here are our notes”

Here’s the link to the original creators video, it’s well worth a watch:

Because just having two characters with the exact same lines is boring, Gerry has had 3 games now, I want to explore someone else as a character, with new motivations, character flaws etc
