Saw this & it's so true. I'm reposting with alt text.
It's still raining a bit. I picked some kale for Mom to eat. Kale is one of the food plants that provide us with year round harvests, without extra efforts. It self seeds & is cold hardy.

One thing that has shocked me is the amount of AI sites that have cropped up for WoW Forever. You used to be able to quickly search and get actually good written articles top of the search results for WoW. Now it’s AI drivel.

Doesn't it seem actually very bad that the corporate-algo internet has decided it's OK to censor all content for "language"? I know we have been here for a while now, but I just can't believe that an entire generation has grown up knowing if you use the word "sex" your video/post won't be seen by anyone. Or even if you're watching uncensored content, no "sensitive" words can appear in the closed captions, so they don't even make sense. Isn't that obviously discrimination?
Wuthering Waves better not just be teasing us with this darker storyline in the PVs/trailers. This could be a real turn for the 4.x storyline (certainly could even be two chapters with old war stories unravelled into a new conflict for the two parts, much like 2.x was new Ragunna and old Septimont). The anime trailer in particular could have come straight out of Reverse 1999.
I find the pepper shakers in most cruets don't deliver enough pepper. So I bought one of those sugar pourers used in cafes and filled it up with lots of ground white pepper. It's amazing but seems to piss off my husband. Not a pepper lover.
@fesshole I covered my husband in slices of three-weeks old bread and he hated it.
He must not appreciate the craft of artisanal bakery.

This is so true -- compilers are political.
For a while I've seen this as a litmus test of how people think about technology. The young and green might not have thought about things this way. The older and/or wiser either know it, or choose not to.
(I'd expand this from compilers to any infrastructure, tool or technology, that has a "downstream" i.e. whose users/subjects are not the same people as its designers/investors. But compilers are a very good example....)

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
@evgandr@bsd.cafe But this wasn't about asking the 'political views', it was about literally materially benefiting from slave labour. There's a difference.
It would perhaps not be possible or practical to interrogate every ethical principle of every contributor to determine whether they had the correct opinions on every subject, but they were not being asked to do so.
They were simply asked: if the contributor was produced by slave labour, and you knew that absolutely, would you accept it?
And the answer was not only that they would accept it but that they would be ethically obliged to accept it. So in fact they not only think it's acceptable to tolerate slavery, they think it's wrong to oppose slavery. (Or, at least, to oppose it in any material way. You are allowed to say slavery is bad, but you are not allowed to actually take any kind of stand against slavery, because this would be a slippery slope to banning every opinion on every subject.)

Then, I really can't understand why there are a lot of discussions about that e-mail? Every human being who uses electronic devices with Li-Ion accumulator already materially benefitting from slavery.
And, my 50 cents to it — I also don't understand why it is necessary to have and articulate some views (ethical, or moral, or whatever)? E.g. for some events I simply haven't any position, I just don't think about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So in fact they not only think it's acceptable to tolerate slavery, they think it's wrong to oppose slavery.After reading the Eli answers in that thread I came to the completely another conclusion — Eli thinks that making ethical and moral decisions inside of organization not designed to make such decision (but to develop Emacs) will destroy it. Not accepting code from a slave — doesn't change anything, especially in the slave's destiny (things may change only if #Emacs dev team will have tons of money, personal army and/or Nintendo-style lawyers) — but opens a door to further community separation: "from whom is ethically correct to accept patches, and who is prohibited from making commits)". When usually, in my days, the open source community accepted patches from everyone — if you able to write good code and do some teamwork, then you are welcome.
And, my 50 cents to it — I also don't understand why it is necessary to have and articulate some views (ethical, or moral, or whatever)? E.g. for some events I simply haven't any position, I just don't think about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was für einen Laptop möchte eins für seinen Vater kaufen, wenn dieser nur für E-Mails und Videos anschauen benötigt wird?
@vamorph refurbished Thinkpad.
Hab vor kurzem ein X13 (2nd gen) für 300€ bekommen und nutze es intensiv im Studium. Emails und Videos kann das auf jeden Fall.

By not banning one, you allow them all. Then it’s a nazi place.

C'est confirmé, j'ai bien l'air d'une clodo...
Ya un de mes ptis enfant perdu qui me dit qu'il lui faut voir l'assistante sociale pour pouvoir aller chez le dentiste.
Jlui demande s'il en a pas mare qu'on fasse tout a sa place.
Il me dit non, c'est comme ça, il appartient à la rue et finit par "moi jsuis comme toi"
😭
Un peu étonnée jlui demande de développer, il me dit bah toi t'es une zonarde, et moi aussi.
Je suppose que je l'ai pas volé. M'enfin...
