And what am I supposed to do with that? Am I supposed to find you a megathread of the Ukraine war?

I’m sure the Israel defenders have also explained their reasons ad nauseam so according to you they should be cheering Israels genocide?

Why?

Who is “we”? Because Lemmygrad literally cheered when Russia invaded Ukraine. Doesn’t seem like viewing things from the perspective of the invaded state.

My heart doesn’t put food on the table and I do it only through selling my labor, which is what capitalists buy from me. So in very significant way they do own me because without them I can’t afford to live.

I remember reading that meta tracks you even if you don’t have a Facebook account. It collects information on you from any photos your friends add with you in it or by taking your contact information from your friends phone or the wide net of meta trackers that are spread around the internet. Meta collects that information to create a shadow profile of you without you even knowing.

So meta does the exact same thing as the bus.

Reads like fanfic some people might be willing to pay more for.

Legit online casinos need to KYC (Know Your Customer) before you can start betting. I don’t know what the legal framework is for identifying users from a country where the casino isn’t allowed to run, but I’d imagine if it falls in some legal gray area casinos would be far more likely to reject potential customers rather than risk losing their license. In that case a VPN ain’t saving anyone.

Illegal or “legally not gambling” gambling probably doesn’t care about the ban in the first place and those sites will continue business as usual.

Seems like a very inefficient way of doing things, better buy the elected official.

The problem isn’t AI gaining intelligence, it’s allowing AI to have agency and then it gets an potentially dangerous prompt that leads it to hack into, just for the sake of being funny, a bunch of places to delete the entire stock market. As funny as it would be it would lead to a complete economic collapse. I’d actually feel safer if it did have actual intelligence. We’re talking about a technology where if you have broken unit tests (software term meaning a certain set of tests the code has to pass to be considered functional) and you tell AI to “fix the unit tests” there’s a non-zero chance of it just deleting the tests and saying it’s fixed.

AI is dangerous not in the way movies present it where it gains sentience and wipes us out. It’s dangerous in the opposite way where it doesn’t have intelligence and wipes us out because it doesn’t understand it’s doing something that’s going to kill us.

Depends, how into kids are you?

I’ll clarify a bit because I think I didn’t do a good job before. The meat of places like Reddit or Lemmy isn’t the posts. If posts were all we care about everyone would be using RSS instead. The meat is in the comment section, the discussion the post generates. That’s where most of the new content lives, unless you want to argue that you have no original thoughts and the comment you made is some remixed content from somewhere else. So OP is correct that posts are usually people remixing content found elsewhere, but posts themselves are not how sites like this live. The post is just the bone for the meat to stick to, something to focus discussion. He is wrong in the sense that he’s putting the focus on posts and essentially saying “If posts exists, discussions will happen”. But the focus should on the discussions and posts serve the purpose of focusing discussion.

And that’s where the quality vs quantity point comes in because there are two ways to create these sources of discussion. The first the quantity approach, which is what sanitation is doing it, by slinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. Eventually 1 in a 100 posts becomes a point of discussion. The other is the quality approach. Instead of automating away posting shit you do it manually. You find something you want to share and then you take the time to make a post. The manual labor does something that automation can’t, it puts a human element into the post. It puts intentionality into it because you are choosing to post it in the place you think best suits for that post and you’re personally invested in that post which means you’re open to engage with the discussions that might happen because of this post. Automation gets rid of both of those things and actually makes it worse because it fills feeds with posts that have no human element to it. It drowns out actually interesting posts. That’s actually part of my criticism of Reddit comment section because at some point Reddit comment section became flooded with low effort one-liner comments designed to get as many upvotes as possible and those low effort comments drowned out interesting threads so your ability to have meaningful conversations actually dwindled even though the overall amount of “conversations” increased. The same thing happens with posts which is why we both agree that sanitation is doing is spam. It drowns out interesting posts by filling the feed with uninteresting posts and nobody wants to shift through shit to find something interesting.

It’s correct only when you think quantity is everything and quality doesn’t matter. Do you think someone posting into a community because they think that community might like it is the same as copy pasting every post from one community into another community?

I think most people on lemmy/Piefed prefer quality over quantity.

I guess this is where we disagree. I don’t think she’s actually critical of what Israel does. If anything post Oct 7 she seems to be more supportive of what Israel does.

You can be proud and critical of your country. In fact I’d argue being proud of your country should make you extremely critical of your country when it’s doing something you disagree with. I’ll leave it up to you to decide why she’s both proud of Isreal and not critical over what Israel is doing.

She donates to Israeli NGOs but won’t donate to Palestinian NGOs. She blames people opposing Israel for her latest movie flopping. She won’t take down posts supporting Israel, even though she clearly gets public pressure to do so, but she will take down even a modicum of public support for Palestine (I think the instagram story in question was something along the lines of killing innocent Palestinians is horrific) when other Israelis pressure her. She’s also presented her IDF period in a positive light and is publicly proud of being an Israeli. Oh and she did a private screening of the Oct 7 attacks for garner sympathy from Hollywood, I doubt you’ll get her to do a private screening of the IDF killing children.

She might not be spreading hate herself but she is 100% complicit in with what her country is doing. Just because she publicly keeps her head in the sand does not absolve her from supporting a genocidal country.

My biggest gripe is when they’re not cleanly shaven, visibly dirty and rugged, and then their teeth are blinding white. Motherfucker even my own teeth don’t fucking blind me and I wash my teeth.

And the first sentence was the high point of the entire comment, it was all downhill from there.

The blue is supposed to be a dark sky-blue so the color in the image might be right or very close to what the color should be.
