So a white person with Mar-a-Lago face? Kinda proves the point that a lot of casual racism just boils down to jealousy. They’ll spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery, lip filler, and spend hours a day tanning but god forbid you have those features naturally.

It’s the same vibe as talking shit on Latino immigrants but than taking your family to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Or how they talk shit about pride month and LGBTQ+ and say they deserve a parade for being straight all the while LGBTQ+ porn is extremely popular in conservative areas. They want all the benefits of other races, cultures, and sexualities without any of the prejudice that they themselves are creating.

Good job me boy!

I would but it’s a work computer and it’s out of my hands. I’ve already tried running mint on one of them and about 70% of the software we use doesn’t even remotely work.

Basically what they are saying is that there’s a possibility of something called a “gravistar” that would be a stable mass held together by dark energy instead of a singular like a black hole. Basically from what I read, it would have even weirder physics but would look exactly the same as a black hole from our outside perspective. My guess is that, in essence, if there’s no way for us to tell the difference between a black hole or a gravistar than they could potentially just all be gravistars and we’d never know.

Anyone have a link to a guide on how to remove Copilot as much as you can? It keeps showing up on my computer at work and I’m so sick of it.

The company I work for is currently in the process of switching from our own server and email client to Outlook and OneDrive. It’s gonna be a fucking nightmare when we switch.

The only time I use private tabs is when I need to look something up that I should already know. Like spelling a really easy word or not knowing a very basic fact.

Identity verification, not age verification. You would have to give anyone on the internet access to your identity.

I’m just sick of seeing “age verification” plastered all over the internet when that’s not what it’s about.

But steel is heavier than feathers…

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely agree with you, but Steam is not the only place with this problem and Steam isn’t the only one with lackluster moderation for it. We literally wouldn’t be in the global political situations were in right now if it wasn’t for propaganda flooding every facet of the internet. Gamers are a minority internationally and most actual gamers think the steam forums are not even worth looking at.

I’m just saying don’t blame only blame Steam. There’s an issue with this type of shit literally everywhere and nobody in charge gives a shit.

I had this weird syncronisticity a few years back where at least once a week I’d look at the time it it’d be 4:04. I’d often say “404: Time not found” and literally nobody ever got it so I started just saying it in my head instead.

“The majority of people are against this? Nah, we’re right and this is just some kind of extremism.”

In my opinion, it’s not even meant to stop kids from using the internet. I believe it’s to collect data on people that don’t know any better or don’t care about uploading their ID or face to some mysterious server. The type of people that click “accept all” for cookies when they go to a website and those that live in the “if you don’t have anything to hide than it shouldn’t be a problem” camp. I have a friend like this that whenever I bring it up he simply does not give a single shit about his own privacy on the internet and just calls the whole thing, in his own words, a “nothingburger.”

Explaining this to the layman is honestly infuriating. They just tell you that you are overreacting and that it’s not a big deal. That if you have nothing to hide than you shouldn’t have to worry. An analogy I came up with that sometimes helps is removing all the doors in public bathrooms. If you have nothing to hide than you shouldn’t be worried, right? Are you comfortable with your mom or employer knowing your browsing habits with your ID and/or face attached to it? What about that time you posted a meme to your friends discord server making fun of Donald Trump?

It’s literally the entire internet, not just reddit. And yea that includes the Fediverse too. I’ve been noticing that a decent amount of communities on here have 1 or 2 main posters that are just bots that never have any comments. Not only that, but a lot of commenters I’ve noticed have brand new accounts that have copy/paste responses that extremely generic.

At this point it’s safer to assume everyone is a bot, honestly. Especially comments you see on political posts.

Which is weird because when you look it up, both democrat and republican voters are pissed at AIPAC and Israel’s favorability has dropped significantly. I think it’s less that they have a grip on republicans and more that they are spending millions of dollars in ads against those that don’t support AIPAC. My dad watches Fox news every morning before work and when I was a kid 9/10 of the advertisements were attack ads against Democrats or progressives

Brown water means its got more minerals which are good for ya.

I think with Trump in the US and Netanyahu in Israel bringing so much attention to far right extremism and blasting it all over the internet and showing how absolutely disgusting it can get has opened some peoples eyes. I remember seeing the election in Canada do a complete 180 after it became apparent what was happening with authoritarianism worldwide.

In my mind it’s the same idea as burning down your house to cook a burger. Yeah, you cooked the burger, but you literally destroyed everything else just to make it. Or you could just cook it on the stove.

With AI companies it seems they’d rather destroy the planet and poison the internet to a point of unusability just to make their AI models. Yeah, they’ll get their result, but they literally destroyed everything just to make it.

Personally I have nothing against AI and the practicality of it. I do, however, have a problem with AI companies destroying everything to achieve their vague goals of “the future.”

The only place I ever run into people that love AI is on the internet and old people posting “memes” on Facebook. Younger people especially hate AI.

That’s so dumb

I love it
