No one ever gets to be a Nazi “ironically” - pretend to be a Nazi, and you’re a Nazi. He could agree with me on a dozen issues, and he’d still be a Nazi (and it might make me question that much agreement). Seems awfully convenient all these recent forays into Linux and talking about degoogling - almost like after years of keeping a lower profile, he and his team are trying really hard to rehabilitate his public image.

This isn’t YouTuber “drama” - this is a guy who repeatedly engaged in very public examples of bigotry and parroting Nazi symbols and salutes. So yeah - we do in fact know.

Less nice: the arcs of nazisms and bigotry

I setup my new account on a new instance a bit ago but want to stick it out to the end on this one!

I think the difference is that sealioning is a pattern of behavior, rather than just occasionally asking for a source. It describes the lack of intent to engage in good faith discussion and instead just is a method of trolling.

Or you could just do the thing yourself with less effort and less wasted resources. The true Turing test is knowing when something doesn’t need fucking AI to do.

As an atheist, I’ve never found a bit of comfort in any part of the Bible, but Psalm 109 has been strangely resonant with me since November.

"When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office… "

Can’t imagine why…

Why bother with the slop?!

I picked up a set of 10" x 10" tempered glass cutting boards and have been really happy with them. Dishwasher safe, non-porous, easy to handwash and easy to use. This was after years of using every other material. And no, my knives are fine.

I think you’re confusing social media and late stage capitalism. Social media hasn’t done anything to anyone, capitalism has used social media to further its own ends.

Not sure, but your description reminds me of Mercury Rising with Bruce Willis? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120749/

And found the show I was thinking of: Far Out Space Nuts https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072499/

I love the wording of this headline as it kinda sounds like they oopsied a rocket into space, like it was a Sid & Marty Krofft tv show from the 70s.

One other thing I haven’t seen mentioned is selling ice cream is only a sustainable business for a few months out of the year in many places. Whereas you can sell burgers/dogs/etc year-round. But yeah, as far as I know they’ve always sold fast food - their burgers were a fave of mine when I was a kid in the 70s.

What a fucking waste of resources

I think a lot of it is that he spends much more strategically and with lots of strings attached. He also does a lot of work to basically indoctrinate folks who aren’t big players and fund them until they are - JD Vance being a prime example. He’s basically developed into a cult leader for rich wannabes and ends up owning their asses.

Just a suggestion - don’t say you “created” something when you then go on to say you had AI do it for you.

Ha! Was curious and just checked - they recently banned me from the same communities. I certainly don’t go looking for AI stuff to downvote but probably have done so a couple times if I see it in /all and it’s egregiously bad. Guess that was too much for them.

Imagine being so incredibly fragile that you ban folks because they downvoted a post on a site where karma doesn’t exist and you had an AI create the content you posted.

I think as more people get sick of AI bullshit, the cheerleaders are seeing the reaction and thinking it’s some dark conspiracy when it’s just folks saying “Hmm, that’s kinda crappy, isn’t?”

That was the one that came immediately to mind for me - there was a behind the scenes thing where he talked about sourcing and using these very niche old lenses.
