An American is taking care of the Russian community and defending it from CIA propaganda, that's so anti-imperialist. I'm sure Russians are thankful 🙏

they actually had this thing called indian plays in both soviet countries and germany

Americans are so racist they have to fabricate nonexistent racist stuff elsewhere to feel better about their own racism. Impressive.

Sorry for this slightly random remark, but fuck whoever unironically came up with concept of "stealing" memes.

Someone that has their own morals, and thinks killing is bad?

Can we guarantee they'd report him if there was no financial incentive?

The system really doesn't give a fuck about your or anyone else's morals, let's not pretend otherwise. That's why they put a bounty on the killer, after all.

Umm... return to tradition, I guess??

A fun detail: this was written by a woman, priestess Enheduanna, the first writer that we know of by name.

FYI, there are multiple methods to download "digitally loaned" books off IA, the guides exist on reddit. The public domain stuff is safe, but the stuff that is still under copyright yet unavailable by other means (Libgen/Anna's Archive, or even normal physical copies) should definitely be ripped and uploaded to LG.

The method I use, which results in best images, is to "loan" the book, zoom in to load the highest resolution, and then leaf through the book. Periodically extract the full images from your browser cache (with e.g. MZCacheView). This should probably be automatised, but I'm yet to find a method, other than making e.g. an Autohotkey script. When you have everything downloaded, the images can be easily modified (if the book doesn't have coloured illustrations IMO it is ideal to convert all images to black-and-white 2-bit PNG), and bundled up into a PDF with a PDF editor (I use X-Change Editor; I also like doing OCR, adding the bookmarks/outline, and adding special page numbering if needed - but that stuff can take a while and just makes the file easier to handle, it's not necessary). Then the book can be uploaded to proper pirate sites and hopefully live on freely forever. Also there are some other methods you can find online, on reddit, etc.

Does the picture imply that the two desires are contradictory?

Personally, I talk with my best friend like once a month...

(I don't know where else to post, maybe someone here can help, and Neocities is open source...)

I want to create a site on Neocities. I fill out the signup form, solve the captcha, but when I click the "Create My Site" button, nothing happens. I click it again, and after a delay it starts loading something, but then just says "The captcha was not valid, please try again."

This happens regardless of the browser, machine or IP address I'm using.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem, and hopefully how to solve it? Is it just me or does anyone else have the same issue? I've sent an email to the admins two days ago, but still have gotten no reply, and I can find no info on this elsewhere online.

EDIT (20-8-2024): It's working now, probably they fixed it, woo! :D

Maybe the artist just screwed it up, but there's a snake species that really does have eyes positioned like that, on top of its head. Arabian sand boa:

I'm still in my 20s, but as of a few years ago I started forgetting what's my exact age. I always have to stop and recalculate it each time someone asks me. I get asked fairly infrequently, but when I do it's a bit weird/embarrassing that I have to say "wait, let me calculate". (I know when I was born, of course.)

It seems as if there's no good reason I'd remember it, since it changes all the time and it is rarely mentioned in practice. But others, including people much older than myself, know their own age immediately.

I'm also terrible at remembering people's names, I don't know if that could be related?

Not AI (existed back in 2022), but now that I look at it more closely I see it's at least partly photoshopped, as the comments on reddit point out. :(

The illustration of that patent practically a meme, many on Lemmy should know it.

Though it should be kept in mind there's thousands of patents that were never actually applied, and this one was filled back in 2009.

We quite literally have the tech and the legal framework

Do patents necessarily have to follow the law?

What's your point here? Is googling supposed to be a lottery of good and shit results?
