I don’t think anyone seriously thinks you can actually get rid of cars entirely, but rather they’re annoyed that everything is built around the idea that you drive everywhere. This is damaging to the environment, human health, and probably even stifles community and culture.

I had a few coins for some reason, so I gave out some “fuck spez” awards. I wont be buying any.

Cash flow at twitter remains negative because I don’t understand the business.

FIFY Elmo.

No idea, but I refuse to use it on principle. They are still some small communities in Reddit that I stay part of, but I come to Lemmy first.

This is hardly surprising. It’s immediately noticeable in images, but we’ll have to be very careful with other forms of output as the decline could be subtle enough to go unnoticed at first. There’s a very real risk of poisoning our sources of data by allowing AI to write back to them without oversight. And given that the sources of data seem to be things like Reddit and twitter this is a real concern.

Just a note, try to get her to sit on her legs straight. It’s not good for their hips and back to sit off to the side like that. Wouldn’t want that cute pupper to get an injury.

I work in marketing and only recently realised how closed the internet has become. I’ve always held that social media can come and go, people can use messenger and Twitter and Snapchat and insta all they like but email is a always a leveller that always works - then I found out about sending reputation. There’s a reason no one uses their own mail servers anymore, if you set up an email server on your own hardware then there’s a good chance that your emails won’t make it to the recipients behind spam filters. Basically, if you want to send emails now then you need to do it through an established service.

Threads has not launched in Europe because it breaks European laws. Yet 100M people jumped straight on it.

There’s a street light outside my house, I swear I’m going to open the hatch and install a gpo if I ever get an electric car.

Some places you’re not supposed to plug anything in unless it’s tested and tagged. Unlikely to be an issue in a public area, but if you’re somewhere that the power getting tripped would be a safety issue then best to ask first.

I don’t really get what the hate was for Google+, it was better than the alternative/competitor at the time (Facebook)

He’s Australian, we’re used to getting screwed on pricing for everything.

I think I’ve learned over the years that I can like almost anything, and although I’m more likely to like music from my favourite genres, it’s possible I’ll like anything.

The most recent example I can think is that an artist I like did a cover/colab of Unholy by Sam Smith and after listening a couple of times I listened to the original and found I actually prefer that.

I also like things which are borderline not music, like The Shaggs.

I’m getting around this by having no posters or subscribers on the community I created.

Similarly: your employee steals from you and it’s a crime. You don’t pay your employee and they have to take you to court to get what you owe them.

Social media is literally nothing without its users. Do you think it’s technically challenging to create a forum, or a feed of brain farts? A few rich people seem to have forgotten that recently.

I’d prefer if Elmo had to be the first one to take his rocket to Mars.

They already had Instagram. Just take Instagram and replaced pictures and video with text. Job done. Tbh I’m not even sure why it needs a separate app instead of just adding it to insta.

If they don’t continue to get AMA’s from celebrities then it’s going to be a fairly big hit to the site, I feel like that was a big pull for the “general public” type of user.

I know more than I ever need to about American drip coffee machines, and yet I don’t want one and wouldn’t know where to buy one here in Australia eveb if I did want one.
