It might be more accurate to show Israel keeping Hamas and it's families in an open air prison for generations, while running an apartheid ethno-stste, but otherwise, yeah.

@jupiter_rowland

As someone using both kbin and hubzilla, would you mind telling me a little about the differences, and pros and cons from a user perspective? I haven't been able to find a hubzilla instance with open registration, but I'm interested in standing up an instance of either hubzilla or kbin.

Thanks!

Also, can't figure out how to DM or microblog without posting to a magazine, so apologies if this isn't an exact fit for/ askkbin

I think you put too much faith in the news.

No you moron, if you go bust the taxpayers will be forced at gunpoint to make the bankers whole. Have you been in a coma since 2008???

People say "a few bad apples..." like the rest of that idiom isn't "...spoils the whole barrel."

Yeah, the kinds of people who fled reddit will never be happy knowing the rest of us normals are out here, and the fediverse is better both without them nagging all the other instance admins all the time, and without all the fediblock nonsense that generally gets resorted to when they get tired of nagging people.

I wish everyone understood the purpose and value of decentralization and federation, but if it's cramping y'all's style, probably better to coalesce your community on a different architecture.

Good luck to y'all whatever you decide.

Torrentfreak.com is a good resource for keeping up with what sites are around and worthwhile, but just get on usenet already.

🤯 I thought that was going to be some kind of terrible joke.

Maybe this will finally bring an end to the farce of IP. What good can it do if I can generatively consume an infinite amount of content based on those properties without anyone ever knowing?

I guess they aren't kidding about those beaches being NSFW! Weird that they drop the 'F' in Australia though 🤔

Ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen says he unwittingly sent AI-generated fake legal cases to his attorney (apnews.com)

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s onetime personal lawyer and fixer, says he unwittingly passed along to his attorney bogus artificial intelligence-generated legal case citations he got online before they were submitted to a judge....

Until they solve hallucinations, LLMs will just not be viable in production applications.

Congratulations, you have.... a projector 👏👏👏

Did you make the projector yourself with means of production you own, or did you capitalism it?? 🤔

Remember the last time there were reports of Russian missiles hitting Poland and it turns out Ukraine fired the missiles that killed polish civilians and just blamed it on Russia to try to trigger nato article 5??

Philip Morris, the world's largest tobacco company (whose largest brand is Marlboro) wrote that bill. The primary purpose was to ban vaping, but SCOTUS slapped that provision down. RJ Reynolds, owner of Camel, Virginia slims, and other brands was making inroads on Philip Morris' US market share with their lineup of flavored tobacco products, such as the popular "flavor crush" cigarettes.

Instead of competing in the market, they just got congress to outlaw their competition.... in exchange for hefty campaign contributions. Menthols were exempted because they are overwhelming consumed by smokers of color and Barack Obama was in office, so the optics were inconvenient.

The irony is that the justified for outlawing the flavors is that it would "save lives" so it was a tacit admission that the government cares far less about saving the lives of black people.

Truely more disastrous than pearl harbor and we didn't even make him surrender on the deck of a battleship 😞 dark times, dark times indeed

Except he's already been acquitted of that.
