Ads nowadays are little more than psychological assault and it can't be healthy to be exposed to it regularly. My Home Ec teacher back in the day had a whole unit about the different manipulations present in advertisements and it was really enlightening and upsetting. Modern advertising should be banned or severely regulated.

EULAs and TOSs have been tossed out in court before under the logic that you need to understand an agreement for it to be legally binding and that not reading the agreement inherently prevents you from understanding it.

He also accomplished the deaths of millions of Americans during a pandemic

McCarthy has admitted a few different times now that they have literally zero evidence to serve as a basis for an investigation or implement

This tracks with my previous attempts at reporting that Sinfest guy. Posts hundreds of comics that blatantly break multiple official substack content guidelines and I get the effective equivalent of a promise for "action" combined with a dismissive eye roll. They completely ignored my follow-up email detailing the complete lack of action and the dozen or so new content guideline violations.

Iirc it's a custom Reddit clone hosted by Epik. "Epik has provided services for websites, platforms, and groups including Parler, 8chan, Gab, BitChute, Patriots.win, The Daily Stormer, InfoWars, One America News Network, AR15.com, Kiwi Farms, the Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers."

Every single government shutdown in the last 30 years has been caused by Republicans controlling the House

Lmao elitism like this will just turn Lemmy into a radioactive, insular circlejerk cesspool

Anyone who chose to stay on the Elon train after his first weeks at the helm gets no sympathy from me.

Except for the green card holders whose residency in the US was literally held hostage by Elon.

The only evidence they need is the fact that he's a Democrat and therefore must be evil by the conservative categorical hierarchical construct

100 companies/corporations are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Unless the "simple changes" are "abolish capitalism and give these polluters the corporate death penalty" then there's jack shit you can do to have any appreciable impact beyond not having kids and convincing everyone you know to do the same. Because if the human race goes extinct there will be nobody left to pollute.

Memetics is very serious business and I'm honestly really tired of the thoughtless and irresponsible use of psychological contagions

Their posts get prioritized in the algorithm iirc

Hey it worked for Bush

C'mon, he was subpoenaed. I wish that shit meant something to the plutocrats.

uBlock works on those

Please. It's absolutely ridiculous and a mockery of the justice system as a whole that trump is even allowed to be handled with kids gloves in the first place. Every single criminal should be treated the same or there is no such thing as justice.

The US desperately needs federal anti-SLAPP laws that force the issuers of frivolous lawsuits to pay for the defendant's legal costs

Lmao look at this loser, just buy your gf at the GE like a civilized person

The actual symptom is called "executive dysfunction".

I refuse to believe that the guy's last name is actually Coomer. This is the worst timeline. I legit can't tell if reality is fucking with us, almost like that bad acid trip back in 2015 never actually ended.

It also has all the UI/UX stuff preloaded making everything feel snappier.

Wikipedia has an overview and their enforceability varies pretty dramatically across the US (which is why many such agreements attempt to specify which states or courts they must be litigated against in).

However the effects are becoming increasingly dramatic as more and more of the population finds themselves in an economy with no jobs for them. Eventually UBI will become necessary once we hit the tipping point.

It's the exact same reason as the one behind the gender disparity in STEM fields

It's not even real AI lol there's no thought, just text transformation

If you rotate a 3 clockwise it becomes a pair of balls

I prefer to consider it in terms of "dimensions of awareness". Humans have evolved hundreds, possibly thousands, of interlinked dimensions of awareness for just about everything from colors to body language. Simple automated systems with sensors have their own dimensions of awareness, from vision to heat to pressure. Whatever it is that they track and respond to. AI, however, is finally hitting the point where these dimensions of awareness are being stacked and linked together (GPT5 can see, hear, read, and respond) and it's only a matter of time and agency (aka executive functioning) before we see true AI consciousness.

I want Baraboy Himbo Hooters :(

I use EasyTether to use my unlimited data as a USB hotspot for my PC. Works like a charm but requires a bit of setup in the developer settings.

Just put a password on your network

They could go back to suggesting only videos related to the one you're watching but they really want The Engagement Algorithm to be the only one available :(

She also repeatedly ranted that any male that plays a game with a male character is a homosexual. And that any conventionally attractive woman is a slut. She even went so far as to mod the appearance of female characters in one of her releases to make them more like her, lambasting female beauty standards in the process.

She's one hell of a bigoted nutcase. You can read her unhinged screeds here.

And then be forced to shut it back down within a week once hosting costs bleed you dry lol

WinRAR also lets you delete files from a RAR archive, 7zip does not.

"Y"

Doctors thought my sister was experiencing this the first several times she ended up in the hospital, turns out she actually has abdominal migraines. Though why it took so many visits to realize it persisted for days after cessation of use (from being in the hospital) is beyond my ability to understand.

That's because they tried to make him some sort of noble villain in the movies when he was just horny for Death in the comics and wanted to impress her

What are you saying DSL isn't good enough for modern technology? /s

That's just a Tiananmen 2d circle with stretching though.
