What a surprise: AdamEatsAss likes enemas. 🫡

Dessert falls under “rule of fork”.

In that if you try to take any I will stab you with one.

Fuck that rando, I guess?

Just generate a fake face with some generative tool.

Or, you know, be as appalled by this as I am and complain loudly. Maybe if enough of us do it it’ll become more trouble than it’s worth.

It might stop when the DB gets compromised and some exec gets threatened with the release of all his weird kinks going public.

With this method, users take a photo of their face which is then analyzed by AI to estimate their age. Tombs says this involves no analysis of the user’s actual identity, and that all photos are deleted once the check is finished. Hence, neither Yoti nor the porn site ever needs to know who you are.

No. Fuck no. Just… wow.

I still don’t understand how a convicted felon loses the right to vote for president but can still be eligible to run for that office.

Makes sense for a rapist to conflate domination through violence with love, I guess.

I wish I could buy into the idea of church as a community; my mom very much saw it that way. However, church is inherently exclusive. It turns away people who refuse to conform to very specific beliefs. It’s hard for me to root for or even accept that as a communal space.

I want to see more YMCA and less church.

Edit: yes I know the Y is technically a Christian thing, but it’s not the religion I object to it’s the exclusion. Never been to a Y that felt like I needed to be Christian to be there.

The Rust Book helped me realize that I wasn’t likely to just learn Rust by doing as I had done with many other languages. I fucking love Rust but it is a bit of an oddball and the book is a great way to start.

Chinese citizens: I can’t take it anymore, this society is so unfair!

Chinese government: ok, we can just go ahead and increase surveillance and harass you about any little infraction some more.

ITT: people absolutely refuse to accept that accidents happen—even to smart people—and the consequences can be mitigated through non-knowledge-based precautions.

I refuse to keep a round just stored in the chamber. In fact, I think it is incredibly stupid and irresponsible to do so. But, like, just put a fucking magazine disconnect in there too, just in case I make a mistake eventually.

Managers usually love to say they, too, coded back in the day, but they didn’t, they wrote some small scripts and thinks everything is easy like that so why not use AI, and why is it taking long to fix that bug?!

To be fair, some of us were real developers with real experience; you just don’t tend to hear us making claims about how easy dev work is and how AI is going to take over all the coding.

The comment I replied to wasn’t cheering on a murderer.

The comment I replied to was trying to convey that an impoverished person may feel like the reward money for turning in a murderer outweighs any moralizing over the murder itself. That the dollar figure could be literally life changing and they may feel they have no option but to turn them in.

And people downvoted that. Hence my shaken faith in people’s ability to empathize.

The downvotes on this really make me question my faith in humanity.

“He was a person with a deep sense of empathy and clear passion for improving access to care. Our hearts are with his family and his colleagues during this difficult time.”

Really?

Martial arts ranks aren’t even all about skill. Typically getting to a black belt or equivalent is done by skill demonstration but raising ranks after that is more community involvement, school upkeep, teaching, etc.

I was also born in ‘84; the 90’s were pretty rad though for a kid so the doom and gloom didn’t really start until around 9/11 for me.

I mean, ATP has only been around for two years, mastodon has been around for 8 years with 6 years of development on AP.

Development takes time, I feel like “show it to me now or it’s a lie” is a poor take.

Yeah this is still true as far as I know. Honestly this is probably what allowed BS to gain a foothold; I like mastodon too but asking new users to pick a server was always going to be a source of adoption friction.

Well we need to Fill The Swamp right?
