Remember kids, if you're not solving climate change entirely in one single step, there's no point in trying.

Seriously, what a brain dead argument lol

So, what? We're just straight up making shit up about Mac now when trashing it on Lemmy?

Its literally been over a decade since the last time Apple charged for an OS update

That's weird, I could have sworn he said that they nearly had all the issues sorted out and that it was coming next month.. Trying to remember when he said that.. 2021?

Serious question - why should anyone care about using AI to make 9/11 memes? Boobs I can see the potential argument against at least (deep fakes and whatnot), but bad taste jokes?

Are these image generation companies actually concerned they'll be sued because someone used their platform to make an image in bad taste? Even if such a thing we're possible, wouldn't the responsibility be on the person who made it? Or at worst the platform that distributed the images -As opposed to the one that privately made it?

It seems pretty obvious to me that Trump is deliberately trying to generate controversies like this to play into his whole "witch hunt" narrative.

The fact that his not having a jury is his own fault won't matter to his voters, because trump will just frame it as further evidence of his persecution. They're not going to care about the details, so when it inevitably goes against him, he can just invalidate the results to his base

Most would agree with your point - right up until you suggest that having an "uncorrupt government" is remotely possible.

Pretty much the same level of unrealistic idealism as folks who think it's remotely possible to transition a state to communism without it turning into authoritarianism.

There, now I've pissed off everyone lol

Edit: Except, I guess for the hardcore capitalists, but I assume those guys are all too dumb to read, so no point, really 🤷

Yeah I don't know about "par for the course"

What other generation had the threat of scientifically proven ecological collapse looming over them?

Was the point to make money? I figured it was just a publicity stunt/tourism draw

Spoiler: he'll completely ignore this comment and just continue to go on saying that all criticisms of conservatives are baseless and unproductive

Back in the day when they were actually focused on putting features into phones instead of stripping them out...

With archinstall now being a thing, the only downside to using Arch is the fact that people like OP will call you an elitist because they heard those jokes back in 2015 lol

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being short. Lying about your height and wearing ridiculously high lifts, while continuing to lie about it in the face of evidence however is a pretty powerful statement of character on his part. And not a flattering one

I wish this were true, but frankly I don't buy it. In the last 50 years, thanks to automation and technology - productivity has nearly doubled, and yet people have to work more than ever to make ends meet or buy a home. Automation just means that the ultra rich can produce more with the same workforce. The global economy is built on the idea that GDP has to be constantly growing, and the more growth the better. Why let perfectly good workers sit idle when they could be making you more money?

Some industries get fully (or mostly) automated, sure and jobs dissapear from those industries, but new ones always pop up so that the folks at the top can continue profiting off the labor of those at the bottom. You think all the folks who used to have job titles like "Calculator" just retired at the age of 30 and enjoyed not having to work anymore? Nah, they were just forced to take new (often shittier, lower paying) jobs.

I'm more disturbed by the fact that they still use the pan for cooking despite it being a cat bed lol

The reason so many can't afford to buy is because so many houses are bought purely to be rented back out again, if no landlords existed housing prices would drop and more people could afford to buy.

For those who still couldn't, as others have said - public housing

Also, if the story is true, that's a fucking terrible nurse (and person) for not reporting it - dude could be in a domestic abuse situation getting stitches and she's just like "yeah whatever"

Now that I have Sync again, I feel 0 desire to get ever go back to reddit again

The only thing lemmy was missing was a really solid client

Tbf - they do this because of a rule that is actually very important. Basically news media can't say that a person did a crime until they're convicted of that crime - otherwise it's libel (or slander, I can never remember which is which)

That's important because otherwise the media can basically just have unilateral control over the court of public opinion. People already rarely read past headlines, imagine if news headlines could just declare someone guilty with impunity.

It always seems silly in these cases - and in similar cases where the defendant has basically already admitted to doing it - but it's actually an important rule in my eyes

Tbf, "learned a language" is a hard thing to pin down in any case.

I've been building enterprise software with python for almost a decade now. I still occasionally find stuff in the stdlibs that I didn't know about, or even sometimes some subtle feature of the language that I never had reason to explore until now.

If someone asks me if I "learned" python, id say hell yeah - but there's always still plenty to learn

That being said, no reasonable definition of learned includes what you could do in 2 days, even as an experienced dev lol

It's not just that, classified government work is a huge PITA to get cleared for in a lot of ways. It's like the worst, longest, and most privacy killing job interview you ever had, except the dudes doing the interview have the ability to send you to jail if they find anything they don't like (not that it happens for silly stuff like pot, but it does add to the stress)

And then when you final make it through, you get the priveledge of working twice as hard for half the pay that a skilled professional could make elsewhere.

The only time I'd consider government work is when I'm late enough in my career that the prospect of a pension is more appealing than a high immediate salary
