Right!? At least on Lemmy I can drink my Pepsi® in peace. Like for real, there’s nothing better than scrolling through some funny memes with a delicious can of ice cold Pepsi®, my fellow [insert slang term; plural]!

I think you’re correct. In South Korea at least 22 people died. The article you linked doesn’t mention any casualties (or I didn’t notice them).

Mad Donald 3 - Beyond the Iron Dome

Basically I see two options:

1. This works for advertisers and based on your “profile” you are strongly influenced by the ads shown to you. So might just as well give your data to Meta and Google, who already sell profiled (and not individualised) ads.

2. This doesn’t work for advertisers and you are not strongly influence by the ads shown to you. So the advertisers could just as well put a link somewhere and hope it is found by their target audience.

Also I don’t my browser, my OS or any other core component on my system to be in bed with people who are trying to extract as much money as possible from me.

There are radio stations, financed through ads. And they check if people are listening by calling random persons to ask them what station they are listening to.

So this is a viable business model and nobody is stopping anybody from putting plain pictures and links on sites and just estimate the page visits, but online advertisers want to know more. They always want more.

At the same time, a browser is the essential software to browse the web. So this is as if your TV was like:

Yo, many people mute their TV during commercials and don’t pay attention, which kills the poor networks. So I made a deal with advertisers and will check what your doing, while I provide unmutable ads , but don’t worry, your privacy is very important to us and we only care about providing to you the best TV experience possible.

Whenever I tested it, my banking app worked on non-rooted e/os. A rooted device however is not accepted by my banking app.

An API that unlocks DLC? That sounds like… wait what community is this? (looks around)
Is that a wooden IP address? Nice eye patch by the way. Cheers matey!

This should be better with /e/OS or lineageOS, but you have to jump through several hoops (and often lose your warranty) when you install them instead of your default Android OS.

Unfortunately most devices block them completely, but the Pixel phones are supported (as far as I know).

Since we are discussing this on social media, another news outlet could make a “story” about the discussion or should I say your popcorn enriched outrage.

I would also be available for a game about the movie about the game about the book about that story.

To me the most interesting aspect of the article is kind of fuzzy, namely why she left.

There’s a hint, but it remains unclear what her concerns about the finances were.

Swan has a different story. She says she raised concerns about the organization’s handling of finances, which the executives were unable, or unwilling, to address. In a 7 April 2022 email to former chairman Wiseley, Swan resigned.
“It is with deep regret that I feel the need to step down as deputy treasurer,” wrote Swan.

Later the article mentions her being slandered for defending a local library that displayed children’s books with LGBTQ+ themes. So maybe that topic contributed to her leaving the group, but all of this seems to have taken place after she already had left the group.

Am I missing something?

Oh yeah? And what if the AI hallucinates stuff like self driving cars within a year or I don’t know, wants us to colonise another planet before we are even able to preserve Earth…

or maybe it suddenly wants to pay a random amount of money for another entirely unrelated company.

I mean, sure it could “run” multiple companies, but the decisions would probably be completely random, like renaming Disney to xXx or something similarly insane.

Nah, I think that makes it pretty clear, that we absolutely cannot afford to replace CEOs with AI!

Since women in modern politics are relatively new and this is a historic first, I think this is newsworthy.

However, I agree with you that gender shouldn’t be the deciding qualification for the job. Yet I don’t know nearly enough about Mexican politics to comment on that topic and to be frank, I haven’t read the linked article.

As a cringetologist I have to inform you, that you actually turned yourself into a black hole and emerged from a white hole in this mirror universe.
Congratulations, you are now extroverted and trust me, you will need all the friends you can find up in here.

Now I’m picturing Mad Max cars…

and now I wonder what Mad Max would look like with EVs? Would they fight over batteries?

Sounds like a colony

Let’s take a step back from that provocation and look at the bigger picture.

• This is intended to create division and make money (like Frank Reynolds would).
• Neighbours shooting neighbours or rural folks shooting city people (or the other way around), that won’t lead to any takeover or to any surrendering of power on a larger scale.
• That’s just terrorism and could (at most) cause chaos and terror.
• If there actually was domestic violence on a larger scale, it would come down to: who controls the military or which part of the military is on which side.
• I would avoid meaningless skirmishes e.g. in a suburb of Seattle.

I’m not saying succumb to bullies, but whatever you do, be smart about it.

Good point. I haven’t thought of that. Boy do I hope it will never come this. I don’t think the city’s water supply would last long.

Only people with AC (or deep basements?) would be save… as long as they have electricity.

Makes me wonder what would happen in a mega city like Delhi, when the weather get’s lethal. Will people storm places with AC or will they be apathetic (like starving people).

I hope we won’t find out! But at least heat shelters will probably become normal.

Look, he’s no fascist. He’s just a strong leader who’s always right, doesn’t accept ‘no’ for an answer, makes his own rules, demands absolute loyalty and calls himself not only a patriot, but a nationalist who happens to be white…

Sure he jokes about being a dictator, but only because he’s able to see the good in so many of them. Also it would only be on first day in office, since he loves democracy, stable democracy, like in the People’s Republic of China or Russia, where a strong leader can be elected more than just twice.

Boy o boy, people not understanding this will give future historians quite a head scratcher.

Don’t be agitated by the headline.

Here ‘harm’ is meant in a diplomatic way. They put restrictions on the Spanish consulate. It is strong language, but nobody is talking about physical harm (just as Spain hasn’t harmed Israel physically).

From the article:

According to these measures, Israel prohibits the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from “conducting consular activities or providing consular services to residents of the Palestinian Authority”, although it clarified that the measure does not apply to people with Spanish nationality.
