Not only that, but we make it goddamn trivial for not just Wikipedia but for other Wikimedia projects. Doing this is just stealing without attribution and share-alike like the CC BY-SA 4.0 license demands and then on top of that kicking down the ladder for people who actually want to use Wikimedia and not the hallucinatory slop they’re trying to supplant it with. LLM companies have caused incalculable damage to critical thinking, the open web, the copyleft movement, and the climate.

Lmao what? The Nazi party publicly and loudly identified with religion and persecuted and purged the Jews who had been treated awfully by Christians in Europe for centuries. Sure Hitler wanted to see the end of Christianity, but he was quite religious himself per the Goebbels Diaries: “The Führer is deeply religious, though completely anti-Christian. He views Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race. This can be seen in the similarity of their religious rites. Both (Judaism and Christianity) have no point of contact to the animal element, and thus, in the end they will be destroyed.” So privately Hitler was religious, and publicly the Nazis were religious, and one of the most sickening, widespread, and prominent atrocities they committed was the persecution and genocide of a religious minority.

so you dont have to manually manage memory

Not sure how this got upvoted with this glaring mistake. You have to manage memory. The point is that the compiler catches it if you make a memory management mistake, making things like data races, uses after frees, etc. literally impossible (short of intentionally using the unsafe tag).

I used to watch TYT in the early 2010s and typically liked what they did (edit: except for when I later found out Cenk denied the Armenian genocide). What’s happened to them?

It’s also just dumb that imagery taken from a street isn’t doing anything privacy-invading or illegal yet they still feel the need to coddle paranoid NIMBYs. Street View can sometimes be useful for OSM, since you might’ve been there but forgotten to document something, are too far away, etc. Street View as a concept works to the public’s benefit, although Google owning it and it being proprietary isn’t good. I can see this removal feature being a good thing by probably one out of every thousand times it’s actually used, namely in the case that you have some kind of stalker (even then, though, satellite view 99% of the time would give you a concerning amount of info compared to Street View).

Oh shit, the tone police are here. I’m not under the impression the person I’m responding to is going to change their behavior after this has already been widely talked about to death for years, and so I really don’t care what tone I use. This person is helping make the lives of real, actual, perfectly innocent trans people (and especially the lives of trans women) hell because they a) don’t care about those people or somehow more pathetically b) do care but can’t restrain themselves from buying themselves a children’s toy to that end.

Is someone upset they can’t fork over more money to the rabidly transphobic piece of shit and the media conglomerate megacorp?

Just going to drop the Liberapay for Lemmy.World here. I’vs butted heads over policy before, but thank you guys for giving us such a stable experience.

Until they do that, their PM shouldn’t be getting up in front of cameras and crying like a whiny little bitch about how a video game portrays their history.

Apologize for Nanjing and maybe there’s a snowball’s chance in hell you have a leg to stand on.

Edit: he said “It is an insult to the nation.” It’s a nation which is too cowardly to recognize and apologize for the senseless and solely perpetrated murders of hundreds of thousands and rapes of tens of thousands. Your nation’s government has no honor for this, and no microscopic “insult” in a game can sink you lower.

A proposed rule to require a warning to customers about a potential charge and to give a grace period to fix the problem appears to have been dropped, as was a requirement that banks disclose statistics on the fees such as total revenue and total number of NSF fees charged.

This part’s definitely bullshit.

Another brain drained. Thanks, fascists.

Inbred Marty McFly on the left there.

They said less beer, not less alcohol

So I gave you an article showing that cannabis legalization also corresponds with a decrease in alcohol in general, not just beer.

Buddy, I KNOW.

I posted it because you’re strawmanning what I’m saying as “all drugs are bad except weed, which is a gift from God”, so I gave you something more concrete that you can’t strawman to fuck and back. That’s why I linked to both articles. Hope this accommodation to your illiteracy helps. :)

Dude I don’t use cannabis or alcohol. I have no personal stake in this game. I care about this solely from a public health perspective and acknowledge that 1) cannabis is substantially less unhealthy than alcohol and 2) cannabis legalization correlates with a decrease in alcohol sales. I don’t care how long you’ve been alive; being alive longer isn’t an argument, so quit being condescending and piss off.

Damn, not as many people pouring literal poison down their throats now that weed’s legal for most people, huh? Something something world’s smallest violin. Fuck you, alcohol industry.

Or you know… it just means no updates and we’ll all probably be fine.

Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

Hey, OP, do you have any thoughts about putting your app on F-Droid?
