I knew better than to give thee companies my DNA but of course I’ve had family give it to them. I suppose if I was wanted for an unsolved murder I’d be a bit concerned, but I’m still not happy that anyone’s DNA is compromised that I’m associated with.
The question to me is what’s the play with that data. I’d assume they would have a use for it if they went to the trouble of stealing it. I suspect in the future this will be lucrative data, but what’s the play right now??
Nobody mentioned the finals. Free to play fps competitive shooter with teams of 3. It’s been crazy addictive for my friends and I. If you like fast paced hectic fps games it’s loads of fun.
When I saw the cybertruck for the first time this is all I could think about. It’s like he’s memelording at the highest level. If he did it on purpose that is. He didn’t. And the Simpsons accurately captured a thing yet again. Like having president trump on an episode.
There’s nothing inherently valuable to YouTube other than the fact that it’s the default video hosting website because it got there first. You can find other similar websites that provide video hosting that is equivalent, just without the massive audience YouTube has. Keep in mind your argument only works for G rated content because anything that is slightly controversial, even history based content, gets demonetized and there’s an entire other website called patreon that gained popularity because YouTube wasn’t paying its content creators for their work.
YouTube has lots of options for getting people to pay for their content. If they opt to pursue ad revenue they need to accept that a subset of their audience will use 3rd party apps to get around that. Most people don’t have ad blockers so it’s really only people smart enough to download the plugins. To me this is akin to Reddit pissing in the face of their users for the sake of maximizing profits. I get why they’re doing it, but for every trick they employ to get around ad blockers someone will come up with a workaround and I’ll just download that plugin each time.
Had to have been a guaranteed position. Basically you take this job and no matter what happens we will pay you x million total . If you get fired we pay you this much total.
What isn’t happening? Them making fake csam? I haven’t seen it because I don’t want to see it but I am connnnfident it’s occurring. Some kid already got busted feeding images of girls in his class into an image generator and making nudes out of them.
So while it might not be wide spread it’s 100 percent happening and will increase.
Honestly releasing these generators to the general public was a mistake. They thought they could put up safety measures but they’re easily bypassed. I think they should have kept them locked up and only give access to people who are registered and trackable with people reviewing what they’re generating.
All of these ai generators are getting abused left and right and anyone who didn’t think that would happen is an idiot.
This is what blows my mind. Everyone keeps complaining about how terrible he is and how terrible twitter has become, but they keep fucking using it. I think if you were just using twitter to reach your audience you wouldn’t care too much what you used. I think these people know they stand to lose money and so they won’t jump ship.
Pussies. This website has effectively drawn a line in the sand and said we are where fascist voices can unite and coordinate. If you remain on twitter even if that’s not your belief you are providing them with legitimacy and enough of a smokescreen to do what they intend to do.
I listened to Rogan and Musk talk briefly because my curiosity got the best of me and you can tell musk has lost it. He’s full Kanye right now. You can kind of tell when someone’s fucked in the head. Their mannerisms and pacing tell the story. He’s totally off it and is going to continue to funnel millions of dollars into the hands of fascist dickheads in one way or other. Today it’s providing them with a platform. Tomorrow it’s funding politicians. He’s just up his own ass enough to do all kinds of fucked up shit because HE thinks it’s ‘what’s best for everyone’.
The world can decide to just dump this shitdick. The sooner the better. Unfortunately a number of people are very keen on keeping things how they are and super pleased to have his stupid ass spewing their talking points.
For starters the decentralized nature of lemmy means no one person or group can control the narrative. An instance with good moderators can remove bad actors and there’s no good way for a large group to get a footing and spew bullshit to everyone.
The best part is those bad actors get to still be a part of the larger picture, can still engage with each other if they choose, they just cease to have any impact on everyone else. I believe I remember reading about how when the red pill q anons moved in and got mass defederated they complained because it’s just no fun to be a troll if the only people they can talk to is each other.
It’s why we as a global society need to swap to this platform and ditch twitter. He’s literally making it so verified accounts can set it so only other verified accounts can respond. The only idiots with blue check marks are racist conspiracy dickhead trolls. If we are going to continue to call that place the sort of global commons, we are fucked.
Decentralized networks with strong moderation tools are the only future for the internet that isn’t a cesspool of shit. Right now big corps fear this adoption because they cease to be able to buy their way into whatever they want. I do hope one day to see lemmy and mastodon spread further and gain a true foothold, we as a species must have this if we even remotely stand a chance of not spiraling into madness.
I dunno. Racism isn’t entirely manifested by one man. He’s just one more bucket of piss in a sea of piss. Fuck him. We can at any time choose to ignore him. Choose to ignore his shit app. He doesn’t matter to any equation, he’s just an annoying rich person struggling with their addiction to child pornography. Wups did I say the silent part out loud. Shit.
Randy you’ll never believe it. The cat did it again, yep this time it’s the IRS servers. Whole thing is down and can’t be recovered. Don’t worry I have told the cat on no uncertain terms that 3 or 4 more times and I’m going to start getting pretty angry about this.
I mean I respect the opinion. I honestly think the design just needs to be workshopped. You could absolutely market a futuristic all metal pickup with bullet proof windows and all the other stupid shit it does. It’s just the design that’s the problem. It’s all Elon, and as we know now Elon is actually dumb as fuck. He’s a guy who mistook his type two bipolar symptoms as ‘flashes of genius’, got lucky in the dot com boom, and is now too rich to be told no.
You need that guy in your corner that says ‘I like the first draft Elon, but what if we changed a few things, I think you’re on to something’. Elon fired all those guys. And he probably flatly refused to change his initial design. So we have this stupid shit.
I just don’t think the steam deck is going to be able to handle this game. Baldurs Gate 3 is certified playable and they did a great job making it a seamless experience but it’s obvious that the system strains in anywhere but the most sparse locations.
The steam deck just isn’t meant to play all the AAA next gen ray traced games and nobody should expect it to do so. It already goes further than any handheld on the market, I don’t need it to play starfield. I need it to play cult of the lamb really well. And it does. And I love it.
If you press the left joystick I believe it puts it to pointer mode.
It actually works pretty good. You have to cut the settings down a bit and honestly playing on pc is easier but to the devs credit they totally got it playable and even modified the game so you use a scroll wheel system for selecting spells. I suspect that’s how the ps5 version will operate.
I opted to finish the game on pc but now that I’m done I don’t mind playing it casually on the deck.
Why are you doing this to me. I just finished baldurs gate 3. I’m starting the fall semester I’m gonna end up failing my classes!
Secured a commitment from Uber. Which is to say ‘we said whatever ensured you would veto the bill and will pull the rug as soon as nobody is paying close attention’
Well, I’d say the value of the Tesla isn’t the car at all, it’s in being the first to popularize Evs, the brand they’ve built, and in the recharging network they’ve built.
As far as the cars go theres just too many reported problems. Take the above things away and you’re left with just an ok car. Why would you invest all that money in something that’s just ok, especially when you can go to the nearest competitor who not only has way more money and experience in the industry but can produce a cheaper more reliable product. Not to mention the fact that they have the dealerships across the country to handle their vehicles and perform maintenance.
Where tesla shined really was in how the brand became associated with success and quality, and in how large a recharging network they built. Nobody else has come close to achieving either. With musk acting like a dumbass they’ve lost the it factor. Should have been obvious with the cyber truck. Elon basically acted out that episode of the simpsons where homer bankrupts his brothers car company by designing a hilariously bad car. They do still have the charging network, and I think that value cannot be understated, but in 10 years ev charging will become ubiquitous and that won’t matter.
Tesla was at its peak when musk mostly shut the fuck up and pretended to be the ambitious billionaire genius focused on the betterment of humanity.
Now it’s clear that space Karen was little more than a guy who got extremely lucky in the early dot com days and amassed an insane fortune. Strip elon of his wealth and ask him to do it again and he would never be able to.
It’s sad too, I wanted to get a Tesla but now there’s just no way. Not when Space Karen can just auto install some update that requires I pay a subscription to use the ac. Fuck that shit, too unreliable.
Teslas are the most recalled vehicles on the market.
Excessive pooping was also acknowledged to have an increased risk as well, although it was mild.
One thing we are discovering is just how much your GI health is related to your cognitive and mental health.
We use uv light stands in the hospital. We will shut down a room and run a uv sanitizer for a bit. It works in some instances but it’s not exactly something you can just leave running all the time. Everyone would probably have a sick tan tho… To go with their skin cancer…
