“Sufficiently polite nazis–which you cannot tell apart from normal users–will help a community, but uncivil people–even if good!– will harm it.”
What a succinct way to put it! Bravo! It even surpasses the fucking equivocation with "israel bombing palestinian hospitals" and "the trans agenda"
As a person without autism but with ADHD it's fascinating how half of the traits I relate to but half of them are completely off
Late Tuesday, Ball told CoinDesk the foundation would retain 50% of its staff. "Morale is much higher now," he said.
50% of their staff were optimists I guess?
While he said the team is making no commitments, they are leaning toward Base, the network developed by crypto exchange powerhouse Coinbase that is known for its low fees.
"I chose this suburban house because of the low taxes" "The roads are so bad, where are my taxes going to?"
people who want to get out have a very liquid way to get out, but they all need to squeeze through the same small hole.
First off, ew. Second, isn't this the same as all crypto?
Eugh, the author has an anime pfp at the bottom
On that note, why not try serenity? Or urbit, while you're at it. Careful, don't get caught supporting these, use monero, putting the "cryptofascist" in "cryptocurrency".
On the topic of music, also linked here before is https://youtube.com/@Tantacrul
He doesn't mention genAI, but his video essays attack many of the common arguments, even the more awful anti-AI ones. I particularly like his demonstration in which the listener predicts what follows a chord, or melodic, sequence and subverting the expectation leads to more interesting music; Next-token predictors are completely orthogonal to this characteristic.
For the not awful music: https://wangleline.bandcamp.com/album/disaster-field A pretty good idm album.
Holy shit the person who replied to you has this in their post history:
Some YouTube channels for children are uploading obscene videos.
According to the article, the videos feature nudity and possibly sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is unfortunately a fact of life, and it’s probably better that children recognise it, and see it condemned in the media they watch, than not know what it is at all. And you would have to be a puritan to think that children seeing naked people is somehow so terrible.
Along with sealioning and a bunch of AI (like him being so excited about that recent deep fake stuff). In the last few days I've seen a lot of racist and transphobe shit on lemmy, despite having blocked quite a few people over my stay and comment sections being barren as a result
Spoilers are an html element so they should work everywhere. Mastodon just shows the text without spoiler or CW. Letters in a different typeface specified by Unicode are announced the same as regular letters for this purpose, emphasis, to the dismay of mathematicians that would want "double-stroke X" to be announced.
A funny coincidence: https://gameshows.fandom.com/wiki/Curtis_Warren Another guy named Curtis that buzzes in early at game shows. And he's from CATHEDRAL City. It's all connected
Even if it was waste, the sellers would notice and start charging for it. Libertarians have a fucked up definition of what 'waste' also with bitcoin mining.

HOW does he seriously use the phrase 'acausal blackmail'. I assumed the majority of word combinations for 'acausal' + noun were just jokes from people on here but apparently not.
Only realized that you didn't make this up when I got to the link
