Alternatively: The only ethical consumption under capitalism is eating the rich

Nah, no need to bring those back. The role is already filled by microplastics and PFAS

Now I’m curious, how hard would it be to write a lemmy bot that mimics Stinky’s behavior just to troll people lol. Ask generic questions like “I don’t understand, could someone explain please?” on random posts and then reply with k to any answer with over 4 lines of text. Like a simpler but much more infuriating version of that Tobllort account from the other site.

I really wish this “haha furries bad” joke would just die already. It’s not funny, even ironically.

Yes this is so confusing to me. There was a blast of attention about it when it was launched that lasted like a week max and then everyone completely forgot about it. I thought it was a short-run experiment that got shut down. What reason is there to use threads? Are there any actual humans who still use it? I’ve never visited it but something tells me that it’s just like reddit with at most 100 real users and the rest is just bots replying to bots.

computer components aren’t real. It’s all just tiny gremlins doing maths really fast and turning pixels on and off

The type of people that truth social is designed for (conservatives, rightists, fascists) are often shunned for discriminating against minorities. Here they’re trying to pull a “no u”, to say that akshually we’re the ones who are discriminated against in mainstream media, and we’re gonna build our own platform with no discrimination, making us more virtuous than you. They don’t believe they actually have less discrimination, to them “discrimination” is a playing token in the game of morals. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it doesn’t matter whether or not they believe they have less discrimination, because having less discrimination was never the goal. The card says moops.

Yes in casual conversation I always say “DDoS” regardless of whether or not it’s distributed because “DoS” makes people think of the operating system.

1. Invent some incredibly specific but entirely false fact (e.g. the kingdom of bolivia was once ruled by King Aron the Benevolent before he was brutally murdered by his cousin-in-law over a dispute about the colonies)
2. Embed said fact in invisible font among material you own the copyright to
3. Let AI bots suck it up as training data
4. Ask random AI bots about King Aron the Benevolent of Bolivia and sue the companies since you now have proof that they violated your copyright

I mean this probably wouldn’t work from a legal standpoint, but whatever. It’s nice to image.

This reminds me of that one time a guy figured out how to make “gzip bombs” that bricked automated vuln scanners.

This sums up my experience as well. It’s never been healthy, but at least it used to be cheap and tasty. But nowadays mcdonalds is so expensive I almost consider it a luxury, and the plastic-looking sauces and mystery meat are in no way appetizing (tho that might just be me getting older and changing preferences as opposed to the actual food getting worse)

Full agree, flipping manga is stupid. When I see a manga panel, my first instinct is to read right-to-left. Flipping it is just causing unnecessary confusion. At least the original bothered to make the text actually fit inside the bubbles!

>“in mice”
>humans not mentioned once in the entire paper

Yeah no.

EDIT: Okay, maybe. I’m not a biologist. Mice and human may be more alike than different for all that I know.

nope :(

I think you used to be able to “bootstrap” a proton account with a mail.ru account (which needs no prior email or phone), but I don’t think that works any more

Hi, I recently set up my own email server

• It’s a huge pain in the ass getting things like DMARC and DKIM and whatever to work. Without those, most providers won’t even deliver your messages. But luckily, there are websites that help you check and fix your configuration
• Even once you do get these things set up correctly, most providers will send your outgoing messages straight to the recipient’s spam folder
• That being said, I believe most providers will mark you as “not spam” if the other person initiates the conversation. So this could be a non-problem if you’re making an email for your business and putting it on business cards or something.
• Mullvad (VPN provider) self-hosts their support email, and they seem to be doing fine.

Hope that helps

TBH “Sierra” is a pretty obscure word. I didn’t know about it until the Mac OS release with that name. And given how often “c” makes an “s” sound, that sounds like a reasonable mistake to make if you’ve never heard the word before.

I bet they manufacture AI-enabled vibrators

Like seriously, how do you go from “haha these people have silly horny thoughts” to “you’re an insufferable human being if you can’t get laid”? That sounds like what a middle school bully might say.
