His face looks like that one piece of chicken at the potluck that everyone rejects.

These might become a thing in the US when some vapid influencer acts smug toward ‘dirty people’ who can’t afford one.

The last guy we want promoting good things. He will curse them with his waxy Elder Things notions.

“I get my socializing exclusively at work. I actually enjoy meetings that could have been an email.”

MS with that “hello, fellow kids” energy.

No thanks, I already have a monster in my pants…you know, space herpes.

The meme I keep seeing in regards to nVidia and the LLMs Ouroboros structure is: Company A pays Company B $100 to dig a hole. Company B pays Company A $100 to fill it back up. Both report $100 of “revenue”.

Talkie Toaster is here. “Howdy-doodly-do, how’s it going?”

plans to leave fame behind

Sssssuuuuuure you do. People like her are a fame tautology. They’re famous because their famous.

That guy who posited that “everyone in America is 12 years old” was probably right.

Using robots for dreary drudge work could be a good thing with something like UBI to go along with it. But instead of fully automated luxury gay space communism, they will implement “Gilded Age 2.0: The Worser Dystopia”, instead.

Well, some of us have niche kinks, like dumping poo from a fighter jet. You won’t find that any ol’ porn hub site.

This is definitely a trap. It’s happening at the same time as the anti-porn crusade.

And all things Meta.

I’ve seen threads where every single comment, no matter how anodyne, has 1 downvote. Don’t bother yourself over it. That way lies madness.

Interesting, I never thought about this. It makes sense. Early peoples definitely took measures to reduce bites. Burning specific plants that repel them. Slathering their skin with mud, clay, or oils. Crafting mosquito resistant clothing and bedding. For thousands of years before germ theory.

Pop! OS is great. I’ve been using it for about a week now. Very friendly distro for us Windows victims.

Interesting read. I know someone who’s been a Salesforce consultant for several years. He was offered a job at Salesforce itself, but has chosen to hop around among different 3rd party firms instead. He makes an obscene hourly rate. Yet, every project he’s worked on has had serious problems, and quite a few have flopped. I get the impression a lot of consultants are kind of winging it.

I don’t know a lot about the Salesforce platform, but it seems like a lot of his clients want to customize the crap out of their implementation and not do things in the prescribed manner. I don’t know if this is just stubbornness and stupidity on the clients’ part, or lack of flexibility within the Salesforce software, or some of both.

It’s important to note that the admins of beehaw are not happy about this solution, either. And they hope to refederate once they have better tools and enough mods / admins to deal with it.

They point wasn’t to shadowban, that was a side effect. The point was to protect their member–who specifically wanted a certain type of safe friendly instance–from hostile weirdos sending dick pics and stuff like that. Nobody’s happy with the situation, but it’s the best they could do under the circumstances with the resources they have.

I also don’t think it’s wrong for instances to have their own strong rules and preferences. This is one of the GOOD things about the Fediverse. The software features and how people use lemmy will catch up eventually.

As for the confusion / chaos around multiple/redundant/competing communities and so on…that will get better over time as people figure things out. Honestly it’s not that different than reddit with all of its splinter subs like “true-” whatever.
