StillIRise1963, My parents have been married 65 years today.
nixCraft, This is funny. OpenAI, who scraped the entire internet to build its product, is now enforcing copyright via notices. They still don’t give credit for stealing content from everyone, yet now acting like holier-than-thou https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1cnvyzp/
logickinlambda, Yet they offer much less accurate results.
madeindex, @nixCraft
Microsoft's influence on OpenAI clearly showing... ☠️
mergesort, 1/5 For the last two years I’ve been working on Plinky, sharing my work publicly while the app has been in beta.
Today it’s finally ready to go live in the App Store, and I’d like to not only share the app with you but share more about why I built it.
What is Plinky?
mergesort, @via Me rn
niclake, @mergesort still nothing. I’ll try restarting my phone.
aeva, (edited ) #poll what does the word "procgen" mean to you
aeva, @tess and so the problem I have, is procgen is also commonly used to describe much more narrow things, and one of those things is the kind of tool that Tangerine is as well as the sort of art such a tool makes.
The broader trend freaks me out because I've put an enormous amount of effort into building Tangerine and by extension everything I've made with it, and it'll all just be binned next to NFTs and automated plagiarism systems without any hesitation.
aeva, @tess now here's the funny part: I put rogue-likes on the poll because I figured they were probably one of the first things people commonly think of when they read "procgen", but it did not occur to me at all that rouge-likes might also be a contributing factor to the negative connotation of the word.
RickiTarr, Human who works a job, caregives for children, parents, pets, or relatives, cooks, cleans, shops, is on committees, volunteers, helps with family's extracurriculars, tries to make it to family and friend social events, exercise, eat right, and maybe even do a hobby they are interested in: Doc, I don't know why I'm so tired, and stressed all the time.
Billionaires and Politicians: The problem is people are lazy, and just don't want to work.
kentwillard, @RickiTarr Each year we should send the richest American to the ultra luxurious Billionaire Island. The night before we throw them a huge party as 'The Winner of Capitalism'. Then we banish them and never hear from them again.

Lana, Anyone arguing in favor of arming school teachers needs to first explain to me where in the budget you're going to find the money to buy 27 Glocks when you cheapskates won't even buy us printer toner.
nyquildotorg, @tezoatlipoca @Lana you'll be Montessorry
kyleejohnson, @Lana I just figured it would be like all the other school supplies. It’ll be required but teachers will have to buy it out of pocket.
mathowie, This is my Apple ad parody. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
blazp, @me_valentijn @mathowie thanks, someone knows the artist?
mathowie,
rbreich, Trump asked Big Oil execs to give him $1 billion for his campaign.
He promised lower taxes and a rollback of Biden's climate regulations and clean energy programs in return.
Trump is literally willing to take bribes in exchange for the destruction of the planet.
Be warned.
scottytrees, @rbreich FYI, we are so fucked.
PadreWil, @scottytrees @rbreich NOT unless the SANE Americans among us get off their ass and VOTE BLUE !!! THIS is our weapon against whinny baby donald and what has become the ANTI American Republican party !! YOU can say fk you to all of this INSANE nonsense being eaten with a spoon that is being served up by an UNeducated, GREEDY, Arrogant CON MAN !! VOTE VOTE VOTE !!!! 💙👍💙👍💙👍💙👍💙👍
flexghost, Auntie Flex,
What’s the most American headline you’ve read this week?
darius, I just witnessed some software transcribe "Fediverse" as "Feddy bears" which.. do I need to start a new server??
_ohcoco_, @deadsuperhero "Freddy Durst" is cracking me up and I don't know why 😂 @darius @thisismissem

Catlynn, I have a weird fascination with HOA’s, they seem like such a weird thing to me. I have never lived anywhere where there is an HOA and never would but I enjoy hearing stories about them. Are you guys pro or anti HOA’s? Or no opinion? Any good stories?
Catlynn, @qurlyjoe Your situation sounds like how an HOA SHOULD function 👍 actually beneficial!
qurlyjoe, @Catlynn
We’re in Colorado, and there are state laws here that regulate and tend to prevent a lot of the egregious behavior of the HOAs that get all the publicity. Again, perfect? No. Good enough? Yes. As always, your mileage may vary.
Green_Footballs, This interview is seriously whacked out, both the questions and Dorsey’s bizarre answers.
He has “a strategy for ending censorship forever!” lol

disky00, @Green_Footballs I wonder if any of these assholes have seen episode 5 of Sandman.
Catawu, @Green_Footballs He’s a very unbalanced person who has enough money to sustain both his imbalance and protection from anyone or anything that would rein him in. I’m getting a real strong “Phil Spector” vibe from this guy.

kaia, @lain leider kommt im Artikel nicht raus, dass das Sexualmagie ist und die bewusst Frauen dafür aufnehmen :floofWoozy_256:
momo, @whiteline @kaia @lain Reading about “flirty fishing” was one of the most disturbing things ever
ZachWeinersmith, Hey language-learners, what's your tip for improving your ear? I can read French pretty well, with a glossary, and I can write it OK, but my hearing is garbage.
UltimateNoob, @ZachWeinersmith Watch YouTube with subtitles. That's basically how I learned English.
Crysophilax, @ZachWeinersmith listen to radio France Inter. When I moved to France it helped me get attuned to the sounds of the language. You have to immerse in the language. It’s the only way.
bbbhltz, Stole this off LinkedIn

sundogplanets, I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353
This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)
derickr, @sundogplanets @planet4589 I'm sad he's no longer posting here.
gpshewan, @sundogplanets 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
vicgrinberg, (edited ) Wanted to try the too good to go from the Polish place for ages. Very fun (one of the donuts is missing, I ate it on the way)! There is definitely some truly weird stuff in here, not sure what to do with the fish in the glass 😳
jakmarcin, @vicgrinberg I see! Didn’t know that.
vicgrinberg, @jakmarcin it's a cool app if you are adventurous about food - both in trying new stuff and creating meals with random ingredients fast :D
Mer__edith, Telegram is notoriously insecure and routinely cooperates with govs behind the scenes while talking a big game about speech and privacy. Even their limited opt-in (roll their own) encryption is sus. The more you know 🌈
shadowwwind, @Mer__edith telegrams CEO is hilarious, he pretty often states the opposite with weird arguments.

shadowwwind, @Mer__edith rest of the alt text "
🛡 Telegram is the only massively popular messaging service that allows everyone to make sure that all of its apps indeed use the same open source code that is published on Github. For the past ten years, Telegram Secret Chats have remained the only popular method of communication that is verifiably private 💪"
TonyStark, Biden passed the biggest climate plan ever to reduce carbon pollution, created over 270,000 clean energy jobs and counting, enacted the first-ever U.S. drinking water limits on PFAs, and protected more than 41 million acres of public lands and waters so far.
Trump rolled back over 100 environmental protections, gave big oil a big tax cut, opposed addressing PFAs, and is the only president in history to expose more public lands than he protected.
A vote for Biden is a vote for climate progress.
TonyStark, @GreenFire @Snowshadow I'm in the middle of something but I just wanted to add because it probably got lost that SnowS tagged me in a post from another account that just has the story as a headline with link.
I didn't want to just boost the story because I dislike doing that. It's very difficult to tell sometimes if people are approving are disapproving of the story when they do that. For me, anyway.
So I just put up the s/s with my what I thought was important context.
TonyStark, @GreenFire @Snowshadow Then I let her know off the public timeline so she didn't think I was ignoring her letting me know.
I just meant originally that I don't do the headline only thing because "GOP succeeds in eliminating emissions regulations" or something - who knows whether the posters likes it or doesn't or what it might mean for us. I always add comments.
GottaLaff, Surprise house showing in an hour, so I'll be interrupting my live-posting for a few minutes while that happens, around 12:30 PT.
DoctorDNS, @GottaLaff good and good luck!
GottaLaff, @DoctorDNS Fingers crossed!
eniko, The problem with outsourcing your chat or forum to third parties is that you don't own them. That is correct
The problem with self hosting those things yourself is that 1. nobody will use them because why aren't you just using this 3rd party app that everyone is already using and 2. have fun doing your own spam control
Seems like a bit of a damned if you do damned if you don't situation if you ask me
eniko, @spots1000 I feel like I was pretty clear that self hosting games is not a viable option?
eniko, @indigoparadox @oblomov @spots1000 didn't they steal a bunch of money from devs as they were going down?
Flobzh, French Aujourd'hui, j ai repris le vélo après des blessures
On m.adit de reprendre en douceur et de faire du plat. Bon par chez moi pour faire du plat il faut un tractopelle 😬
parunenuitdete, French @Flobzh Merci pour la balade par procuration, et bravo pour ta reprise 💪 😘
Flobzh, French @parunenuitdete merci Nine 😘
RickiTarr, Cam and I grabbed a bag of these, because we love a mystery, and after some taste research we think it's Spicy Coconut Curry. Have you tried this junk food? What do you think?
RickiTarr, @MishaVanMollusq It was not too bad compared with others I've had, but I like Coconut Curry
billyjoebowers, Now I want to try it. But I've learned that "Flaming Hot" means "a lot of vinegar" in most cases.

rebeccawatson, What are the chances that RFK, Jr.'s brain was eaten by a worm at the same time he got mercury poisoning AND was going through a contentious divorce in which he testified that his cognitive problems impacted his ability to pay spousal support? https://skepchick.org/2024/05/did-a-worm-really-eat-rfk-jr-s-brain/
Kierkegaanks, @rebeccawatson the way he rambles with the occasional inclusion of word salad does suggest his cognition is impacted by one or more things
rebeccawatson, @Kierkegaanks I didn't mention his rampant drug use in this bc I don't like to shame but...that might be relevant
