not even masking that they just want to steal you to give them all your code.

makes me question why op posted this at all.

extremely nitpicky gripe, but making leaves and flowers blue using food colouring was something I actually did, in kindergarten, so the line about “not being able to make the leaves blue” threw me off. it’s a hell of a lot easier than making meat blue. plus, plants were traditionally a source of blue dye.

also, House of Leaves, anyone?

what does trump have to do with a crime in Colombia?

Vance claims to be Catholic, probably fishing for approval from the Pope to justify some warped ideals he spouts to the American people. Typical diplomatic shite.

the “excuse” is that AI doesn’t have an upfront cost (or at least not as expensive) or waiting period.

with a human you have to pay a lot and wait for them to finish and you might not even like the finished result, but with AI, it can shit out 20 different versions of what you want and you can pick and choose.

for the average person that’s all they care about, they don’t give a fuck that it actually cost a fuckton of energy, or that it had to steal thousands of hours of real human work and effort in seconds to “magically” make their slop appear.

An appropriate response if they want to repair their image. If cleanliness got that bad at even one of their restaurants then that means there’s at least a few more that aren’t that far behind.

If you haven’t confronted them about it, yes. If you have, and they are aware of how you feel, you’re pretty much free to do whatever you want imo, if they’re still trying to play nice after the fact, that’s on them. Stay aloof, and cut ties with them presumably when you’re older and you can.

Kevin Rose is one of the co-founders of Digg, and Alexis Ohanian is one of the co-founders of Reddit. Considering the “success” of both sites it could be a big deal, but more than likely it’ll just try to pass itself off as a Reddit alternative that’ll eventually go to shit or implement a bunch of AI and crypto bullshit.

Yeah discord tends to buckle pretty quickly when enough people complain.

This is exactly why the pond is basically jello.

I was curious when I was hearing the police chatter saying the suspect was wearing a “cream-coloured” jacket, when in the assassination footage it’s pretty undeniably black or a dark colour at least.

Post what you want, comment on everything, make your own community, etc etc etc

I see this all the time like some kind of catch-all for complaints about how effectively dead this platform is.

Not everyone is cutout to pioneer any kind of community, let’s just assume that OP takes this advice to heart, if their interest/hobby is niche enough, what’s even the likelihood of someone else tumbling upon it? Let alone contributing. Maybe this hypothetical other person wants to contribute but they see that it’s only one other person posting anything and they figure, “what’s the point?” Maybe they don’t agree with OP’s opinions and would rather find another “community” where their opinions won’t be contested even if it doesn’t exist. There are a myriad of reasons why, this is going to happen with every channel, fandom, interest group, etc. it’s a natural part of the process. The problem lies in the simple fact that there’s fucking no one here, there are enough bodies to come and stay and go and continue the cycle until a community is established.

Yes, there are plenty of channels or w/e they’re called here, but most of them are effectively islands in a sea of shit you don’t care about (or bots.) They’re not managed, and there’s nothing going on in them. Why is it up to you the user to stop what you’re doing and make something out of nothing? When there are already communities that do exist on other platforms, even if said platforms are trash like Reddit or Xitter are. The majority of users in large communities are lurkers, they might not actively contribute, but they do share content with their own friends or interest groups and that is what’s more likely to bring people in, those people might be people that do end up contributing, or they might be more lurkers. But it feeds into the growth of the community either way.

Most of Lemmy doesn’t have any of that though, because there’s no one here.

Wth is this article, the ring is being made in celebration of them as a watch company. It’s a cute little gimmicky ring because making an anniversary watch is exactly what people expect them to do.

They didn’t make a ring to compete with the Oura or Samsung’s whatever. The article even mentions the Timex ring watch which was similarly made because they’re celebrating 170 years of being in the business. Why even bring up smart rings/watches at all?

especially considering Coca Cola is one of the richest companies on the planet, they could afford literally whatever artist they want, and yet they choose AI slop, because it’s “cheaper.”

It depends, a lot of the time, most cleaning products have that shitty “lemon” smell that fucking sucks, where it’s obviously only masking a more unpleasant smell even if the unpleasant smell is just the actual cleaning product. That usually means it’s even worse when there really is a foul odor present, cause then it smells like shit and lemon.

It’s mostly for an upgrade, I’m still rocking a 3700X, I’m looking to build a new rig around my 4080 that’ll last me several years before I decide I want to build another one.

I don’t play the latest releases all that often, mostly because my CPU struggles with them, and other than some video editing I don’t really do anything all that intensive outside of gaming.

Should I be looking into getting one of these or wait for the 9900X3D / 9950X3D?

like, I get that it smells bad and makes your hand feel like dry rubber, but just keep some scent sanitiser or lotion in the car to use after washing your hands with it. OP even suggesting skipping washing their hands means they probably already do.
