Please do not perceive me.
Having to log into the service to tell it “I don’t want to use you” is stupid.
You see, this guarantees that you have an account with the service, which means Microslop gets to report rising user engagement numbers.
Does it matter that the “engagement” was telling them to stuff their Onedrive where the sun don’t shine? No, not at all! A new user logged into the service. That’s all they care about.
Yep.
My mother submitted every single photo of me she has to some AI art service, spent the next six months sending me slopped-up photos of myself, and is somehow unable to understand why I might be upset about the situation.
I quit IT work to be a mechanic. It’s exactly the same problem-solving process, but the problems are almost always way less arcane. I’m very happy with the switch.
If you wanted to make the switch yourself, the skill sets are very interchangeable. You’re just debugging an alternator instead of an Active Directory setup. If you have a willingness to learn you’ll be up to speed in under a year.
And where do you plan to live while you amass this money…?
Hey. Don’t feel bad about leaving. You’ve done what you could and then did what you needed to in order to keep yourself safe. If what you say is true you’ve done an order of magnitude more work towards a better world than the majority of people.
I think we need good people left in this country to have a chance to try and turn things around, but I’ll never be upset with someone who left for their own good. There’s enough of us that can’t leave, or won’t leave, that we’ll never become irrelevant here. The fight will go on until death do us part, for better or for worse.
You better believe though if the US comes for Greenland I’m going to do everything I can to help my new neighbors
Do it, and don’t feel bad about it. If the US comes for Greenland I’m on the side of Greenland. Same for Canada, same for Mexico, same for anyone else whose sovereign borders are being threatened. Know that no matter what happens you still have friends here on the inside.
I, for one, specifically go out of my way to not purchase things that have been advertised to me, but I also only see about one ad per year on average, because ads are a known malware vector and not blocking ads is just bad security hygiene. Not having to constantly be force-fed capitalism slop is just a nice side benefit.
But yeah, my particular 'tism mostly manifests as spite in this case, and from what I’ve heard tell from other Lemmings I’m in pretty good company in that regard with this group. We just need to figure out how to export that spite to the common man.
I have no idea why people are just taking those numbers at face value.
Any Americans in this thread, have any of you ever been polled about anything regarding any of this? I know I sure haven’t. I wish they would poll me, I got an awful lot of opinions for these mfers.
Trump and his associated hangers-on have a long and storied history of pulling numbers directly out of their asses. It perplexes me that anyone takes anything the government says right now at face value.
Would you say the same about all Russians? That all Russians are the enemy and deserve death because their leader Putin is a warmonger?
Han Solo is supposed to be a scoundrel, he’s a damn smuggler. The bar they meet him in is described as “a wretched hive of scum and villainy”.
George Lucas has an incredible talent for fucking up the intent of the author in a story that HE’S THE AUTHOR OF, it would be very funny if it weren’t so annoying.
This would be a valid argument if X itself weren’t the ones generating the images.
I tell you what, I have an NVIDIA card and when I installed Linux I sure was envious of folks with AMDs
There’s a section under the “read more” split where it complains about over-tutorialization. The game hits you over the head with puzzle solutions and intended routes and leaves nothing for the player to figure out.
What, getting your ass beat half to death by Olympian athletes?
