I, for one, welcome our terminally ill child overlords.

You forgot the one about gas stoves in homes.

To be fair, there are so many examples of this lately, it’s impossible to keep track of them all.

I won’t be happy until they ban shocked Pikachu “show us your O face” thumbnails.

Unless YouTube is using that data to not recommend crappy videos, then it’s completely pointless. If YouTube was going to use that data, then they would, oh, I don’t know, maybe still have a dislike button?

That’s a really dumb headline. It reads like “if they’d only gotten a 15 year mortgage, this wouldn’t have happened.” This is an insurance issue, not a mortgage issue.

The Copycat Theory certainly accounts for a portion of the sightings. Anybody that doesn’t think there are a lot of people with drones that would go flying them during this just to mess with their neighbors is a fool.

Mass hysteria also certainly accounts for more of the sightings. You only need 1 out of every 600 people to see an airplane/satellite/bright star and think they’re seeing a mysterious object to have over half a million Americans saying they’ve seen one. I’ve personally known several people in my life that would easily fall into this camp. Need I remind anyone about rainbow sprinkler lady?

As for what got this all started or any current sightings (if there are any, anymore) that don’t fall into the above categories? 🤷

To hell with safety! Screw the comfort of the drivers that have to spend hours a day in it. Let’s make sure @bulwark never has to look at something they find displeasing.

they will begin typing every single document to have ever existed, along with every document that will exist

Excellent. Now I just need to figure out which one of them is doing my taxes.

a million monkeys typing for a million years generating the works of Shakespeare

FFS, it’s one monkey and infinite years. This is the second time I’ve seen someone make this mistake in an AI article in the past month or so.

Tranfering between devices on the LAN.

Edit: Wait, no, it’s the other way around. 2.5 on WAN, and just a single 1GB LAN port. That absolutely doesn’t make sense.

I don’t think some of the other comments are adequately expressing just how big this parade is. I was going to say that this is the Superbowl of parades, but then realized that that might not help. So…

This is the World Cup of parades in the US. Televised nationally. It’s playing in the background in a lot of households, as a matter of tradition, while families prepare food, play games, etc.

Yes. You were complaining about how absolutely awful it is to have to figure out how to choose which Mastodon server to create an account on, because this “federation” thing is soooooo damn complicated to understand.

Then, it was pointed out to you that choosing an email server is no different. Billions of people around the world have been successfully choosing an email server (and switching to different email servers when appropriate for them, or even having multiple accounts on different email servers).

The email example is often used against the"FeDeRaTiOn Is ToO cOMpLiCaTeD" complaint because, other than the specific protocol servers use to communicate with each other, they’re no different. You have an account on service A, your grandmother has an account on service B, and all you need to communicate with her is her address… EXACTLY like every ActivityPub federated service. It’s not complicated.

The person responding to you quite sarcastically pointed how how awful it must have been for you to choose an email server, since you were complaining that this whole “federation” thing is soooooo complicated. And your response was that, in fact, it was very easy for you. You made their point for them and didn’t even realize it.

Furthermore, you’re having this discussion on Lemmy, a federated service, from your account on one of many federated servers, communicating with people on completely different Lemmy servers all over the world.

So, to beat a dead horse to a pulp…

It must have been awful for you to choose which Lemmy server to sign up for. So much unnecessary complication. Simply participating in this discussion on a federated service must be extremely taxing on your cognition. /s/s/s/s/s

I didn’t suffer? I got my email in computer lab when I was a kid. I didn’t have to choose the teacher showed us Gmail.

That’s not the comeback you think it is.

A few newly planted trees aren’t going to be the thing that stops a business from going in if that’s what someone wanted to do. There are plenty of hurdles to opening a business, from owning or leasing the land, to business permits, etc, but a few newly planted trees aren’t going to stop anyone.

What are you talking about?

legitimate faith-based initiatives

Found the oxymoron.

Unless he also outlaws pasteurized milk, I’ll have 0 sympathy for any adults that die drinking raw milk. This country seems to be in dire need of a toxic cleansing. I’m sad COVID didn’t do the job better.

But instead we just lock up the criminal, because it’s cheaper.

Except, in the long run, it’s not. It’s only cheaper within the scope of one or two election cycles. Over the long haul, weighing the costs and economic benefits of making person a productive member of society again, it’s way cheaper to do that. But nobody ever won an election promising to spend more money now so that we don’t have to spend nearly as much in a few decades.
