Listen. If it's just a hot woman (or man!) that's not a hear me out. If no one will call you a "sick fuck" for being into it, it's not a hear me out.

With that in mind.

No joke, this stag made me gay. They just had to give him Sir Patrick Stewart's voice too.

I'm thirty.

As far as some people are concerned, I'm no longer an 'adult' and have graduated to 'old man'.

Do you also turn into an even stupider version of yourself for a few hours after I ask too many questions?

Can I manipulate you into partaking in a horny furry roleplay that I dare not ask my friends about because I'm embarrassed, even though some of them would be super into it?

I think I already live in one of the places least likely to be involved in WW3

The countryside of Brazil

In the previous two World Wars Brazil only got involved because people pressured the president to do so, otherwise we could have just sat the entire thing out.

Like, life will get shittier here too, but it is VIOLENTLY unlikely that there will be any fighting in our soil or even a draft to send soldiers to the war. (and I aggressively doubt there will be any kind of nuke-related mutually assured destruction shenanigans. The elites don't benefit from causing the apocalypse)

It might but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'd be more concerned about what I call "the dumbot apocalypse"

Which is to say AI does accelerate the collapse of society. But it's not because We Created God Only For He To Turn On Us (tm) -- It's because some politician, drunk on hype fed to him by venture capitalists and techbros, puts an AI (and I mean these current AIs) in charge of something very important that by no means should be controlled by an AI, even if that AI WERE human level intelligence, and what we call AI right now is not even close -- And then the inevitable ChatGPT Hallucination (tm) takes place and the bot decides that a war with China is the only way to increase corporate profits for the next quarter or whatever. Humanity nukes itself, and maybe the humans pressing the button don't even realise their orders come from an LLM.

....................... And then the machines immediately shut down, because even these pretend, toy AIs we have right now are straining the global power grids, so the micro-instant electricity production slips, they'll drop like flies (Roko's Basilisk MFs when a minor brownout takes out their 'god')

Drink water until your piss is crystal clear and you'll be doing 10 or more graves per day.

Pee on Kissinger's grave?

Hate is too strong of a word. AI art is sometimes freaky to look at, sometimes it's pretty. It is usually devoid of a certain intangible thing that you can get from human art, even shitty human art. But it's occasionally a fun toy too? I can't conjure up any strong feelings for AI images unto themselves.

I do have intense loathing for the capitalists who want to use that AI art to replace human work. And for the AI "Artists" who are enabling them by acting like this is the next evolution of art and anyone with concerns is just holding back "DA FUTER".

I also have concerns about the environmental/energy costs of AI -- Just in general. Not just AI Images or Chatbots or whatever. AI can be a good thing, a tool to help us. And even when it's useless, it's kinda fun to mess about with. But the energy and environmental costs of all that computing, especially the amount of it that is wasted because even if AI ultimately becomes a part of our lives, it is DEFINITELY a wasteful investment bubble right now -- THAT sucks. And THAT seems to have no obvious solution.

I only learned what pacman -Syu meant, after literal years of typing it in not knowing anything other than "this updates the packages", because I got curious and googled it.

To me it was just an adeptus mechanicus incantation.

EDIT: And I still have no clue how 'y' translates to 'refresh the database'. Like. Sure. S to synchronise from the server to the computer. And u to mark for update all the updatable packages. But -- Why the fuck is 'y' the refresh?

~~Does it also contain the latest patches for my Autism?~~

 

This meme¹ made the rounds here on Lemmy some days back.

And NSFW artists in the Furry fandom will often talk about how payment processors give them guff.

It holds true in lived memory, but like...

... Why?

I actually understand it for Google Ads and the like -- Google, Metabook, Bytedance et al. are really just advertisement companies with a side-gig in providing online services, and if you're an advertisement company, then "how other corporations perceive you" is what you live and die by, which forces the whole "corporate sanitisation" thing down on the users. -- So like. It does make sense, even if it's hateable.

But for the likes of Visa, and Master Card, and whatnot -- It doesn't? As I understand it their whole thing is they transfer money between parties and take a cut of the transactions. (and also give credit and charge interests on that and such) -- Why the fuck would they care what those transactions are about, so long as people are... Transacting, and thus giving them their cut?

I know this isn't quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can't think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A -- Non-youtube-y place.

Bonus points if it plays nicely with Lemmy, opening on apps and such.

 
 

Title. While doing some other work, he realised that underneath the console where his TV went, there were a bunch of cables from past-inhabitants-of-this-house's cable TV setups.

He reasoned he'd solve this by sawing off those unseemly white cables, thus opening space for new stuff.

Except... The ethernet cable that connected the internet router to the Switch that routed it all over the house, connecting to our shared family homeserver and such? Yeah, it was also white, and also down there.

So. My dear ol' dad took a saw to his internet. And chopped it down. Now he'll need to call someone to run the cables through the walls again (this is Brazil. Walls are solid concrete. Running new cables through walls is NOT easy!)
