Don’t give him ideas!

He bought twitter for 43 billion dollars on a goof. To him a “pile of cash” is like 3 pennies to you.

And I’m not saying this to defend him. I’m just saying that charging him money isn’t the “gotcha!” that you think it is.

No. That was one of the things being sued over.

Subway argued in court that “Footlong” is a trademarked brand, and does not mean it’s 12 inches. Then they argued that the average consumer would KNOW this, and not be confused by these terms.

Footlong is a subway branded term for their bigger sub. Foot long is a generic term that means one foot long.

Yes, that’s real. I’m not joking. They legitimately did this. Just like Fox News argued in court that their station is NOT a news network. It is an entertainment network, presenting purely opinion based stories. As such, they have ZERO obligation for their stories to contain even a shred of truth or fact to their stories. And “Fox News” is a branded term, not relating to, or presenting factual news reports.

On a related note, would anyone like to buy “Bigger Penis Pills”? I mean, it’s just condensed sugar in tablet form. But I’ve branded it as “Bigger Penis Pills”, and selling it for $100 per pill.

New plan. Cars that run on noodles!

Wait, gas prices didn’t go up. That makes no sense…

Ok. Houses made out of noodles, and we’ll all smoke gasoline!

I like your enthusiasm, but you’re going about this all wrong.

City council refuses the permits.

Musk does it anyways.

Nothing happens.

But hey, we blocked those permits, right?

Call me out of touch all you want. I have big sd cards, and mp3 files. No ads. No subscriptions. No bullshit.

Push 3 degrees harder, relent 2 when there’s resistance.

Meaning, 3 steps ahead for them if there’s no resistance. 1 step ahead if there is.

Wait some time, repeat.

And you should get Seaman. Lenard Nemoy provides daily updated commentary to your journey as you talk to a fish. Comes with microphone accessory.

No, I’m not joking. That’s real. That is a game you can play on Dreamcast.

Retro consoles shouldn’t have hard drives, or internet access.

You put the cartridge in, you turn the power on, and you sip your capri sun because it’s 1990, and you’re 7 years old, and the world isn’t a dumpster fire.

Time to play super mario bros 3, as was the style at the time.

No.

You could have every single piece of technology on the planet using AI and it would still falter, because HUMANS DON’T WANT AI! Time and time again it’s been shown that people don’t like this shit. You’re spending money that hasn’t been made, on ram that hasn’t been produced, to be installed in AI data centers that haven’t been built, to run AI farms that have zero interest from humans, to chase profits that will never come.

I would normally say “congratulations, you fell for it again”, except nobody is tricking you here. YOU are the one tricking yourself. Every expert has stated that CEOs everywhere report no actual benefit from their AI use. Tech experts everywhere report that customers don’t want AI in their toilet. Or their toaster. Or their TV. Or their cell phone.

So who is this for?

auto closing/suspending stale communities stale could be defined as unanswered mod reports, no mod activity (no post, comment, login in x time period), no posts

No. I’ve seen several times people ask the admins if they could take over a community. And it happened. Thus reviving dead communities.

staggered new account permissions: wait 24h before commenting, wait 7 days before posting.

Why?

allow community users to flag posts or comments as NSFW.

This one I like.

Voting changes from up, down to up, down or NSFW.

That’s not how it should be done though. The same menu that you pull out that lets you report things to a mod, instead of reporting to mod, it should let you report as NSFW. If a mod approves the request, it then becomes labeled as NSFW.

Ok…but thats not an arguement for or against analog or digital. You’re just making the case for redundancy. You can achieve the same thing by making a copy of analog files, and simply storing the copies in a different place.

NOW if the permanent records burn, there’s a backup. And that’s the point of redundancy.

This implies regular Doug Bowser was known for being wet…

We could call her…Samus! And she’ll wear a bikini when she dies…

Look man…I hate AI too…but you can’t just use it as a scapegoat to cover for humans being humans.

Should the AI be telling him to do more and more drugs until he died? Well, no, but also…maybe don’t do dangerous drugs at all.

Like if chatgpt says to shoot yourself in the face, and you do, is it chatgpt’s fault you killed yourself? Or was it you killing yourself at fault for killing you?

This world is getting dumber and dumber.

I signed up for friendica, after 2 decades of having never used facebook.

It’s blank, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

I can’t comment on what the facebook experience is, but I imagine they don’t just dump you onto a blank white page, with zero explaination.

Note that I am NOT defending or endorsing facebook. I’m just saying the decentralized services have work to do before they can fully be reccomended.

I also recently signed up for pixelfed. It took 3 days to login the first time. And I’m still not sure what the point of collections is. But I did upload 4 pictures.

I agree, Go Guards!
