I wonder if Meta implemented a very basic “no porn keywords” filter. “Interracial” is quite a common keyword on porn websites, perhaps that’s why it won’t pick up on it well or wasn’t trained on images like it?

The article reads:

When asked by CNN to simply generate an image of an interracial couple, meanwhile, the Meta tool responded with: “This image can’t be generated. Please try something else.”

Which is what I’m referring to.

Polls gave Trump a 30% chance. He barely won a couple states, and lost the popular vote. There was also some very late political interference by the FBI director announcing new investigations into Clinton, only to retract that later.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don’t like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

Democrats are unable to go further left because that risks losing votes to the GOP.

In a 2-party system, you don’t get the choice you want to make. Instead, you have to vote against what you like least, in order to motivate that party to move. You vote dem, so the GOP is forced to change. The parties grow closer together, giving the democrats room to move further left.

It’s a terrible system. The first candidate that wants to do election reform should be voted in ASAP.

Obama was not exactly a progressive, was he? The GOP moved right because Trump pulled them there, and there was a voter base to use. They also had the opportunity, given that Clinton was not as popular as hoped. The media has been shifting rightwards as well. And they will keep moving right as long as they believe it will win them elections.

That’s likely due to the Switch throttling itself a fair bit in handheld mode, to avoid overheating and spending too much battery power.

Running an emulator on Linux likely uncaps the performance.

Russia says 60 dead, 145 injured in concert hall raid; Islamic State group claims responsibility (apnews.com)

Assailants burst into a large concert hall in Moscow on Friday and sprayed the crowd with gunfire, killing over 60 people, injuring more than 100 and setting fire to the venue in a brazen attack just days after President Vladimir Putin cemented his grip on power in a highly orchestrated electoral landslide....

This was carried out by the Khorasan branch, so that’d be Afghanistan, not Syria.

Likely, but stem cell harvesting is not as horrible for pigs and doesn’t require thousands of them either. It’s certainly a massive improvement.

Knowing the Dutch, it’s more likely that we’d see a Netherlands-shaped island in the ocean, next to where Germany used to be 😋

I tried this but can’t reproduce your results. AdGuard doesn’t seem to be sending any weird DNS or tracking requests on my phone.

I’m fairly certain you’re seeing some kind of false positive, but I don’t quite know what’s going on exactly.

I don’t think about them at all to be honest. Total disinterest.

I’m surprised you find that the gaps makes things feel less cluttered. Imo it looks considerably more cluttered.

It’s additional space around components showing what’s behind it. So you’re seeing more stuff in between windows, making it look less organised imo. The “whitespace” isn’t really white here. It looks like another unnecessary element crammed inbetween two windows that might as well just sit neatly next to one another, making the windows slightly larger. I also like being able to move my mouse to the edge of things (e.g. the taskbar) without ending up in the whitespace, which causes misclicks for me.

Again, my opinion. Not stating absolute truths here.

Doesn’t matter. Lemmy instances are technically “entities” so the law applies to them. You don’t have to be a business, just “anything that processes EU citizen’s personal data”.

ChairmanMeow,

Instances located in Zimbabwe still have to comply with the GDPR, as the law applies to any entity that processes EU citizen’s personal data, regardless of where this happens. Instance B would also have to comply with a deletion request, or whatever EU member state the citizen is from will impose a fine and seize assets if necessary.

ChairmanMeow,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

It’s both indeed, citizens as well as residents.

ChairmanMeow,

It absolutely is enforceable, and the EU has already enforced it several times.

The EU can of course try to seize assets, but in many cases they have signed a treaty with other countries stating they have the right to enforce the GDPR within their borders. Think a bit in the sense of an extradition treaty. For the US, this is the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for example.

This means the EU absolutely can, will and has the means to enforce the GDPR abroad.

GDPR applies regardless of any “business”. It applies to any entity processing personal data.

Which is incredibly broad by the way. IP addresses and email addresses are personal data too. Same goes for “account data” in a broad sense. So Lemmy does collect personal data, and has to be compliant with the GDPR.

Of course, for a fine there needs to be an investigation and the entity has to not comply with GDPR requests after a warning. And you’re absolutely right that devs can’t be sued for this, but the sysadmin running the instance can be. But that would only happen after GDPR noncompliance.

I’m not sure if Milei has been in power for long enough to have any sort of meaningful impact.

I don’t expect him to have a positive impact, mind. But it always takes a bit of time before things change.

I got a reminder email from them, stating that if you didn’t want to join I needn’t worry; this would be the last email they’d send about it.

They then sent a DM from u/reddit to my account, meaning I got another email about it.

Even something as simple as that they can’t get right.

It’s about Hitler somehow travelling forwards in time and ending up in the present. It’s a comedic social commentary. Think Borat but Hitler.

It’s not constitutional for the state, but that doesn’t say anything about what private institutions can do.
