substill,

Hello, James. Welcome. Do you like the island? My grandmother had an island. Nothing to boast of. You could walk around it in an hour, but still it was, it was a paradise for us. One summer, we went for a visit and discovered the place had been infested with rats! They’d come on a fishing boat and gorged themselves on coconut. So how do you get rats off an island? Hmm? My grandmother showed me. We buried an oil drum and hinged the lid. Then we wired coconut to the lid as bait and the rats would come for the coconut, and… They would fall into the drum. And after a month, you have trapped all the rats, but what do you do then? Throw the drum into the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it and they begin to get hungry. And one by one… They start eating each other, until there are only two left. The two survivors. And then what? Do you kill them? No. You take them and release them into the trees, but now they don’t eat coconut anymore. Now, they only eat rat. You have changed their nature.

substill,

I reread the whole thing and I’m still not sure how heroin plays into any of it.

substill,

Why would Sony let Nvidia’s cloud service onto the PS storefront? If Sony wanted players to have access to an equivalent cloud model that Sony didn’t control, they’d just let Game Pass onto PlayStation.

substill,

Can you give some examples? I’m curious.

substill,

Yeah, this is actually called Pretend Ego Drop Online, or “PEDOing.”

substill,

But how are Microsoft and other LLM companies marketing on AI Panic?

I honestly don’t understand what this graph means. I don’t get what the four sectors mean, how the author decided to distribute companies among the four sectors, or why the four sectors are divided into two equivalent circles.

Actor Kevin Spacey tells court he touched complainant in 'romantic and intimate ways' (www.cnn.com)

Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey told a court in London Thursday in his ongoing sexual assault trial that he touched the complainant – who is one of four men who made allegations against the actor – in a “romantic and intimate” way.

substill,

It is common for a defendant in a sexual misconduct case to claim it was consensual. That isn’t a new thing. That’s one of the primary defenses.

substill,

Man with half of these resurrected memes, people have forgotten what they even mean.

substill,

How low can you go? Death row? What a brother knows.

substill,

If I remember right, glass is extremely efficient in recycling.

With my recent de-modding and ban from the DnDMemes sub, I now have plenty of time to touch grass and help grow this community/instance. AMA I guess? (ttrpg.network)

For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.

substill,

FYI, there are a shit ton of third party apps and extensions for viewing Lemmy however you want. No idea what type of device you’re using, but for iOS I like Memmy.

substill,

Yeah there’s no way in Hell I’m telling average people to jump on the fediverse train. This place is niche af - just like Reddit was in the early days.

substill,

I didn’t say it was a problem to get signed up. I’m saying I’m not inviting some dudes from pickup ball to check out a string of Linux and furry memes.

substill,

Until a few days ago, that was like more than 50% of All > Hot. Logging into an instance where I do not have any blocked communities yet, it looks like that’s died down. The main list now looks like a normal website.

substill,

Same on the campaign to block those. I originally allowed NSFW generally thinking I might miss some cool but off color posts, but the bar for NSFW is definitely high here. And copying Reddit content without the comments and interactions - especially Redditors’ personal stories like AITA or relationship advice - seems worthless and demeaning.

At this point, I’m very happy with it. It reminds me of my first days on Reddit 16 years ago, when it was all links to PDFs and tech talk that was so smart it was over my head.

substill,

I only see Chromium and Chrome on the speedometer for Linux, not Firefox. Am I missing something?

substill,

The nice solution: “Defederate preemptively.”

The substill solution: “Create an army of bots that spam goatse, tubgirl, and other offensive content in response to any threads user post or comment. Make Meta flee.”

substill,

Stepbrother. Stepsister. Stepmother. Stepfather. Steph Curry.

substill,

Memmy does share as an image automatically now with v1.0.

substill,

It’s automatic for me. I open the image - including the one linked in this post. In the image browser, I click the share button at the bottom right. A popup appears saying “Downloading image.” Then the share dialog appears allowing you to send it directly.

substill,

Which is exactly why a twenty year old Geo Metro costs so much more than it did originally.

substill,

Thermoses. They keep hot stuff hot. They keep cold stuff cold. No touchscreen or controls whatsoever. How does it know?

substill,

… how does that tell you if she’s bisexual?

substill,

It looks like the most soulless and generic form of played out superhero movies. Like if an AI wrote a script.
