someone look up how many times she’s called others traitors…

Also, it would be trivial for big tech to flood every fediverse instance with deceptive content and get us all shut down

Nobody is your friend… but at least proton isnt logging your data and selling ads into your inbox… that’s good enough for me…

Check your threat model… 90% of people arent doing direct action that needs protection from nation states… and proton isnt big enough to protect you from nation states. (pretty sure they tell you that they have to comply with legal, swiss laws)

Stop trying to scare people into going back to gmail… there will always be flaws in proton/tuta/whatever mail service…

Go try running your own email if you truly need perfect privacy and anonymity

How did this issue only manifest itself after 37 years in service? Sun radiation isnt a new phenomenon.

So these 3D printed things arent vegan?

Deb-Ian, Deb-Ian!

My younger coworkers keep saying on Mondays, “i wish it was friday already!”

I told them they’ll wish for that time back someday…

and then they called me grandpa and i gave them a werthers original, and everyone stood up and clapped

Prompt: you are my horny waifu and we are sexting
Grok: send nudes

Kid: mom, i swear, i was asking about soccer!!!

i hate elon musk as much as the next guy, but i’ve used grok… sure it has all kinds of obvious biases, but it won’t just go off the rails unprompted

I hate how often shoes get updated these days…

By the time i run enough miles to know if i like them or not, they’ve already released a new model

I have a pair of AP4 just waiting to use. I havent even properly assessed them and they are talking about AP5 already

The other way we are seeing improvements is shoes that are effectively less durable, either to save weight, or to use foams that optimize for performance over durability

i put 993km on my first pair of adidas pro 3s (probably could have pushed 1000)

my other 2 pairs are at 500km and probably gonna make it to 900+ km

YMMV (literally)

they have an obligation to reach as much of the populace as possible…

Then their responsibility is to broadcast important information over an open medium that doesnt require registration, and isnt owned and controlled by a foreign adversary

I have the same issues with my gov’t at all levels. So annoying.

Lol… people downvoting stanford university

Lemmy is a wild place… left wing maga, i guess

but super fast.

that’s already making an “impossible” into a “possible”… and in my books, that’s a useful tool if you take all the value judgements out of it.

My parents also said the same thing about electronic music

“it’s not real music, the computer makes it!”

every new technology that lowers the barrier of entry gets derided every time. Tale as old as time.

Every new technology that enables more of the masses to participate will obviously mean more low quality stuff gets made. That doesnt mean the tool is worthless.

Is there a lot of AI slop art? Of course there is… but i hate these anti-AI extremists (especially concentrated in the fediverse) that reject ANYTHING that has even touched AI to be worthless.

“oh what a nice picture… wait what? The artist filled in one corner with AI? it’s total trash!”

Isnt the voyager doctor also part of thr holodeck who can somehow walk around outside?

Even on a computer without ad blocker (work laptop, chrome browser)

the number of times i say “nah i don’t need to see that” as soon as thes annoying ads comes up before the video…

The decline probably has very little to do with ad blockers.

Exactly…

The reason i run ad blocking at every level isnt to show that i’m too smart for marketing…

It’s because ads work on me… my brain rejects certain ads for sure, and it says “psssshhh, how can people be dumb enough to buy that shit???”… but that doesnt mean i’m too smart for advertising and that it doesnt affect my brain in subtle other ways.

Omg they are so cute!!

Japanese whisky is typically more influenced by scotch. I’ve yet to see japanese corn based whisky based on bourbon techniques
