so when a platform allows AI it's "caving to the slop machine" and when it bans AI it's "feeding the slop machine"
i think some people are just turning AI into their permission to be pessimistic and alarmist about everything, they're hooked on the feeling of being paul revere

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.
Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

everyone grieves differently, but if you're like me - the type of person who has trouble reacting to a death until you go to the funeral and all the emotions pour out - you may find that TDoR is easier to process if you lean in to the catharsis.

It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

For Transgender Day of Remembrance this year, please remember why we grieve. Our sadness is one of the most important biological adaptations that humans have evolved.
Because it drives us to seek each other out.
We mourn so we can come together and become strong again in community.

when i get blinded by these things on residential streets i fully pull over (because i can't fucking see, and we're in a neighborhood, where there are people trying to live their lives and not get killed by a vehicle) and of course the dickhead always blows past me doing 40
i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

“lazy use of unwrap blew up a process and took out the internet” bzzt. wrong. judicious use of unwrap blew up a process instead of allowing an Extremely Named CVE to happen and spraying your bank account credentials all over the public internet
People want a technical solution to what is ultimately a judgement problem.
People know that unwrap can cause a panic. That's the choice that's being made when you unwrap. Changing the name won't change that.

i think one thing we owe sarah mcbride is at least a bit more credulousness about negative rumors about her. like, people say "she's zionist" like it's a pillar of her politics, meanwhile she took a donation from AIPAC once... and then immediately started voting like AOC. now AIPAC disvows her.

my read is that the people who don't understand the utility of this don't have enough friends for it to occur to them that adding people from contacts would be a significant time saver for people with a lot of friends

do people not realize that "teehee actually i'm doing magic by saying wrong things and then waiting for someone to get mad at me then saying it was my plan all along, i'm influencing the fabric of reality by making u mad" is just the trans version of the 2012 cole sprouse social experiment tumblr

i think that one of our most ridiculous behaviors as a community on this site is
-post photo that's either nude or suggestive
-don't label it ourselves
-it gets labeled by the automod, which doesn't issue any penalty, it just puts the respective label on the post
-we complain

"Find friends by phone" is a common tool in social networks. We're proposing a secure scheme and requesting comments from the dev community.
Goals:
・Double opt-in: you're not findable by your phone unless YOU use the tool
・Secure to enumeration attacks
・Resistant to decryption if compromised

reminder that if you get subpoena'd or otherwise are surveilled in anyway, you need to stop posting and shut the fuck up.
seeing replies saying "dont comply in advance" - that's not what this is. its keeping yourself from digging a grave.
talk to a lawyer, and stop posting. (1/4)

BTTC is a scam organization that makes up fake stories, often eerily similar to that of real trans people facing violence in the weeks prior to their latest story, in order to simultaneously grift money and also, mostly likely, provide some kiwifarmers behind the account with a laugh at our naivety.
