What about it do you not trust, out of curiosity? And how do you ensure OS integrity if not using TPM?

I don’t think greed is the only answer. There is a legitimate demand for food, and pests are constantly adapting to various pesticides. I think the answer is greed and some other nuance.

I see this gimmick lasting a whole month or two before it massively backfires. Either through massive compute costs or from fucked up user creations causing a disastrous PR incident.

What is it from? Is Ahsoka the name of the show or the character?

Edit: nvm, it’s a Star Wars show.

The main theme, How It Ends. I actually finally got around to rewatching Little Miss Sunshine last night. I hadn’t seen it in almost 20 years, so it was almost like watching it for the first time again. Movie still holds up amazingly well and it’s such a great story.

Man, I was literally just thinking about rewatching Little Miss Sunshine the other day. Then I saw a random video using a DeVotchka song from that movie. And now this. Weird coincidence for such an old movie (2004?).

I wasn’t aware of all that. That’s really shitty and gross of him to defend Polinski and Weinstein. How tf was he not canceled during the “woke” cancel wave of the mid-2010s?

I don’t disagree, but I struggle to see Tarantino doing high sci-fi like that very well. He’s a master at creating engrossing, gripping dialogue scenes. But what do I know, maybe he’d have done a great job in the end 🤷‍♂️

Hey now, I enjoy many of Tarantino’s movies. But I wholeheartedly agree that he’d be an awful pick to write and/or direct a Star Trek movie.

Is there a specific reason you strictly need static ipv6?

Agreed. What a vague link to a vague community.

Wtf did I just read…

Virgin boy eggs are widely accepted as a tradition in the city.[3] Boy egg vendors go to elementary schools in the city where they collect urine from young boys, preferably under the age of ten. Children who have been raised in the city are used to the practice, and relieve themselves in basins that the vendors place in the hallways. The teachers often remind the boys not to urinate in the basins if any of them have a fever or feel ill.[3][5] Some vendors wait with containers in parks or public restrooms for a parent who is willing to let their child offer urine.

Once the online propaganda/psyops funding dries up, it’s amazing how quickly the masses move on from a controversial figure. That’s why I don’t think the MAGA infection that the US has will last long without billionaires continually pumping their bullshit. There’ll always be cultists, but I even remember seeing how quickly most folks moved on after 2021, only for a resurgence around late 2023 when lots of billionaires flooded his campaign coffers.

And I used it since ~2007. Sure, I’ll concede that OC existed back then, but expectations/standards were far lower. Simply starting topics or a meme template that hadn’t been done before were fine, often times even hailed. Two broken arms, jollyrancher, coconut, whatever other gross ass viral thing weren’t even pictures/videos, they were comments and/or text posts. They became Reddit legends/mythos/lore, regardless.

Anyway, that type of OC isn’t going to invigorate the masses like it used to. Any of those stories nowadays would be met with heavy cynicism/skepticism (rightfully so, I might add). I guess my point is, Lemmy has only been somewhat known for a couple of years. It takes a lot of time to build momentum. Reddit continues to enshittify ever further, just like Digg did. Times are different now, there’s a fuckton of competition in this type of social media format. What will make it successful is hard to say for certainty. I think sticking to link aggregation and topical discussions is a good start.

Lemmy is a link aggregator. Reddit is as well. Sure, Reddit has started to generate a lot more OC over the last decade, but it took over a decade for that to pick up momentum and gain millions of active users. I don’t want a mindless cesspool of half-assed OC. I mostly just want an easy one-stop-shop for news, memes, and discussions.

Oh, 100%. I’m mostly a server admin these days, I don’t do much software dev stuff anymore. As such, it’s mostly powershell or python scripts. Using a dedicated IDE for fairly small scripts isn’t really needed .

That’s a great way of putting it and definitely something I was guilty of doing when this stuff first emerged and I was experimenting with it.

Nowadays, I only use our internal LLM to generate boilerplate or simple scripts that wouldn’t take me more than 5-10 minutes to write myself to save some tedium. I think that’s what most actual devs/admins do with it nowadays, if they interface with the tech at all.

Are you asking why doesn’t every billionaire have dementia, or why do they all have it? If the former, that’s a great question. If the latter… I don’t understand bootlicking speech and can’t help ya there.

It’s impressive, really. Maybe they were ironically misspelled?

But… The business owners stating that the proposed street was dangerous is exactly what you just quoted…? I didn’t say you were worried about the business owners.
