You can’t prove there isn’t!

“Oh yeah, are you sure about that? Then why does my AirTag say it’s already landed on Jupiter, hmm? I’d like to speak to your manager.”

Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.

Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google’s got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn’t fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.

Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.

That’s really cool! I wonder if there’s a way to find the previous owners of the house, that’d make for a really fun story if you were able to track down the original owner somehow.

No wrongdoing was found!

On surface level, sure. But the consequences of this drama will be seen across the industry. Google and Amazon both appear to have worked to have kept this quiet, which raises a lot of important questions about how the business of video streaming will handle child safety.

Even though it may seem like drama, there’s an important story here, and it directly involves the futures of some key players in the tech sector so it’s relevant.

I’m 100% certain that if he actually didn’t know the kid’s age beforehand, that he would have said so in one of his responses. If the situation was anything other than what everybody is already suspecting, he would have put it out there instead of letting the internet speculate wildly. He wouldn’t just be sitting on that little nugget of information if it existed. He was too specific in his responses to have left that out unintentionally.

Yeah, and there’s a much different context. Those aren’t real children on the show. Those text threads are with adults on both ends. The entire interaction from start to finish is mitigated by professionals.

We’re talking about a situation involving a real child, not a sting operation where there isn’t an actual victim. There’s a real child whose identity would be put at risk of being exposed by releasing the logs.

This isn’t primetime TV drama. This is a real situation involving a real minor. You should take a step back from the screen for a minute if you’re struggling to see the difference.

The amount of people eager to see a sexting thread with a child is fucking absurd.

I missed an opportunity to nab a free ticket to a George Carlin show because I couldn’t get the day off work. That ended up being his last tour before he died.

I think most people these days don’t use browser bookmarks as a “check this out later” tool, and instead as more of a “I frequently need to access this page” function. For me, I only bookmark a page if it’s something I frequently access; things like my email, Lemmy, some work apps, etc. In my use-case, bookmarks are a more “permanent” installation to my browser.

Also, “read later” apps generally strip the web page formatting and advertisements, and usually have an offline function of some sort; both of which you typically can’t do with bookmarks. These are especially useful for those who like to read on their commute.

It holds up about as much as those “Not responsible for broken windshields” stickers on the back of dump trucks. Which is to say: not at all.

LOL, he definitely gives off “hall monitor” energy. But for what it’s worth, he is 20 years younger than Miyamoto, so maybe he’s still in the cards.

It’s not that sort of hand-down. Miyamoto isn’t in charge of Nintendo as a whole; he just heads some of the creative departments. The legal/business end of things are still going to be largely under Furukawa.

Video source for those who don’t feel like clicking around.

They don’t go into detail, but I’d be real interested to see a breakdown of how this was made. It looks almost entirely like actual Sora output, with the exception of Geoffrey and the TRU logo, which I think are comped-in renders. But the rest of it all looks like genuine AI output, all the way down to a bit of R’lyehian text in a few places.

It’s honestly a little scary how good this looks. Granted, this was made by a professional media team who understand how these tools work and know how to use them better than anyone else, so of course it’s going to be good. But it won’t be long at all before this becomes the baseline.

And instead mentions Bluesky, which I wouldn’t even really classify as part of the Fediverse. Sure, it’s federated, but it’s pretty much just federated with its own self, and isn’t accessible from any part of the Fediverse at large.

Those mailer coupons are the only reason I ever order a pizza delivery anymore. The cost of delivery fees, tips, and the food itself keeps going up and it’s becoming harder to justify the purchase unless I’m getting a significant discount somehow.

I used to order pizza fairly frequently, too. Like once every 2-3 weeks or so. But it’s just so expensive now, I think it’s been probably 3 years since I’ve ordered one.

The difference is whether or not there’s one objective answer to a question, or if a question could have any number of answers.

For instance, look at “How do you replace the starter on a 2006 Ford Taurus?”, which is rather closed-ended, as the only acceptable answer is “With the wrath of a perturbed god, as you’ve already replaced the starter three times in just as many years.”

Whereas, “What advice would you give someone starting their first job as a car mechanic?” is open-ended and could have a million answers, ranging from “Get comfortable replacing Ford starters, because those sombitches burn out once a year” all the way to “Buy a good set of wrenches, and also a ouija board so you can tell the ghost of Henry Ford to go fuck himself”.

Better to have mediocre content right now than 1 really good post every 2 weeks

Is it, though? To the best of my knowledge, Lemmy’s algorithm doesn’t penalize communities for low activity; it’s a pretty rudimentary algo based on votes over the last X hours. There isn’t risk of this community becoming de-ranked or anything along those lines. The good content will be just as visible as the bad content (for users browsing their all/sub feeds), so do we really need the bad content in the first place?
