@Gina for the purpose of faster check-in?

If anyone else want to confess, now's a good time as any... -_-

@catsalad Closest confession I got is when chatGPT first came out I tried to test it with some disassembly x86 I already finished, and that spiraled to a confession about some dread I felt to it about the future, got over comforted and realized it was made as a tool to socially engineer humans from the pattern, and that the tech was anchored to an evil company. I had about 10 mins of weakness before realizing the vulnerability I patched in myself. These things are memetic hazards for human development.

This was preceded by the bank closing their account and keeping their funds.
"On Friday, September 4th, Banca Etica met the AI ODV association in a videocall and told us that they are going to shut down our bank account unilaterally, thus terminating our contract for good, and that the funds still on the account, which we raised through donations from thousands of people, organizations and collectives, will not be at the association’s disposal."

Gli atenei più prestigiosi degli Stati Uniti hanno resistito alle pressioni grazie ai ricorsi in tribunale e alla mobilitazione di studenti e docenti. E alla fine Washington ha abbandonato la linea dura.

Thank you to everyone who gave input on the thumbnail for the most recent film.
I did update the thumbnail, as shown in this thread,

correcting some of the issues, you guys found, but surprisingly, a test shows, YouTube viewers are marginally more interested in the original.
The test was carried out by serving each thumbnail to thousands of users, so I think these results are quite creditable.
Worth a try — sometimes it is just really hard to predict what will work.
Stay true, stay real and as Lemmy put it... Stay Clean. Your original image didn't stink clickbait.
I don't often think of running for EU parliament, but when I do, it's at an airport.
I mean, if Rarotonga airport allows chickens in its lounge, surely European airports can too.
I set up a new commission listing on my ko-fi where you can request a custom fully personalised heyheymomo comic!

Google's #Gemini AI invasion continues → It wants your biometric data, your selfie, and even your voice. 😡
Now it's adding conversational AI features to Gmail, Docs and Keep.
There has never been a better time to #DeGoogle and take back your privacy. ➡️ https://tuta.com/blog/degoogle-list

Not exactly speedy, unfortunately. Optimized versions welcome.
@cstross I had a first gen one of those. Loved the idea, but just wasn't for me. My handwriting is terrible and I type at reasonable speed. Even now writing on the iPad or an eInk device doesn't feel right
@Offbeatmammal I was thinking in terms of diagramming and brainstorming with it, but my failure to get on with an Apple Pencil for my iPad should have been sufficient warning that it wouldn't work …

Crec que un projecte interessant per a fer una cooperativa o associació seria recollir smartphones vells, seleccionar els que es puguin rootear i instal·lar-hi una distro Linux i posar-los a disposició de la gent amb intercanvi, venda a preus populars, bancs de dispositius, cessió, donació, etc.
Així es podria potenciar i proporcionar alternatives a les persones que es vulguin alliberar de google a més de documentar l'experiència i incrementar el nombre de dispositius compatibles amb Linux.
@matt I do like replies most of the time, and Ivory allows you to see only boosts as well so once you get to the end of the stuff your follows have written, you can look at stuff other people have written too

Thomas Schulze #BSW Spitzenkandidat in #sachsenanhalt, nannte gerade im DLF als wichtigste Schnittmenge mit der #AfD die Forderung, dass die Sanktionen gegen #Russland aufgehoben werden, damit die deutsche Industrie „wieder billige Energie bekommt“ und „wettbewerbsfähig wird“.
Wahlsieger mit absoluter Mehrheit: #Putin
@christianschwaegerl Ok, wenn die wichtigste Schnittmenge, die ihm einfällt, eine bundes-/außenpolitische ist, gibt es quasi keine nennenswerten Schnittmengen in der Landespolitik und das BSW könnte ohne Umschweife versprechen weder mit der AFD zu koalieren, noch diese zu tolerieren, noch mit ihr zusammen zu arbeiten? Das würde ja einiges beschleunigen beim Finden einer nazifreien Minderheitsregierung. 🎉
One of the weirdest reverse culture shocks I'm experiencing (I did a little bit too last year, but this time even more) is the make-up of the population in my hometown. Not the fact that it is now quite multicultural, but how people "look". Old people look "normal." Middle-aged people somewhat look normal too, except they have tattoos everywhere, but people who are less than 40 are... strange? As if a bunch of young strangers with strange styles had invaded my hometown.
⤵️
Basically, my field of reference is my hometown 30 years ago, and old people now are the former middle-aged people. Fine. Middle-aged people now are my generation. But younger people were babies or didn't even exist then. So "their" culture is totally foreign to me.
@Digital_Coolie does this clickbait have any basis or is it just clickbait?
