And they do not markup domain prices. You pay what they pay.

None. The beauty of a federated system is that I can stay in my home and still interact with all of those groups should I choose. If using the local function is important to you, then whichever community you are interested in.

As cities and states across the country pass ordinances cracking down on camping and homelessness…

Homelessness should only be a crime if houses are provided to everyone wherever you desire to live and then you chose to then be a public nuisance and sleep blocking a sidewalk or a street.

Until then, this is just disgusting. Our society is fucked.

For anyone like me that can’t keep track of what model we are up to now: the 15 was just announced and will be released by the end of the month.

The 12 is a 3 year old device at this point so this really only affects resellers. Will be interesting to see if Apple pushes an OTA update to reduce the radio power to fall in line even though they no longer sell the device.

I mean, the non alarmist view here is that they are planning to use data provided by the various stores (Steam, Epic, etc) to determine installation count.

Not defending Unity, I haven’t done enough research to have an opinion on the change; but this take seems to correlate two things that probably aren’t related. Plus, what’s easier to do: build a system that tracks specific installs of specific games to specific hardware or to ask Steam and Epic for install counts over the last X months.

AI Tools - plural. ChatGPT (and OpenAI as a whole) predominantly runs on Azure infrastructure. Microsoft also owns GitHub with its associated copilot. And now all the Microsoft product specific copilots.

Not trying to defend their usage, but there are several forests here that are quite visible.

I knew he was nutty, but holy fuck this guy is actually insane.

If you haven’t, watch at least the first minute of the video. That’s all you need to have your jaw hit the floor at the crazy.

Researchers at the US National Centre for Atmospheric Research calculated the density of a cumulus cloud to be around 0.5 grams (0.018 ounces) of water per cubic meter, so a 1 cubic kilometer (0.24 cubic mile) wide cloud would contain 1 billion cubic meters (35 million cubic feet). If you calculate the number of cubic meters times by the density, 1,000,000,000 x 0.5, you’ll be left with the total weight of a cumulus cloud of that size – 500,000 kilograms (1.1 million pounds).

We have all had one of those days where you just need to commit a quick murder to let off some steam.

And random capitalizations.

But…it was ‘almost done’…what happened to it? Did Obama’s dog eat it?

Did you read the article? Pretty clear it’s more than even harassment…

“These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," a post on a pro-Trump forum read in response to a post including the names of jurors, which was viewed by NBC News.

Also, Grand Juries are secret, regular juries are not. That’s why these articles are all referring to them as the ‘purported’ jurors.

If they did somehow actually get the jury members names and release them, that alone could (and should) be seen as a threat considering the secret nature.

If you are on their network they can see what you are doing. At the end of the day, the business will protect itself.

Do what you want at your own risk. But never assume that any company is on your side.

I remember early in 2020 talking about the bush fires and thinking that it was a crazy way to start the year. Little did we know then what a year it would be…

Thanks for sharing!

I wonder what the historical timing was between filings for GPT 3 and 4 and their public announcement/release.

Please do not link anything the Orange Idiot is associated with to a state sponsored service. Truth.social is so far separated from the BBC or any US sponsored service they may as well be in separate universes.

What the BBC is doing would be akin to NPR or PBS starting a Mastodon instance, which I’m all for.

Do you have any fires that stand out in your memory? Take this as your open ended question to share any stories you want an excuse to tell.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The fact that these articles are making fairly large headlines is proof enough that this event is backfiring.

A couple days of engagement traffic do not outweigh the negative PR and advertising impact from this event.

If you were a company, you might think twice before advertising on a site that has their users actively, publicly, and loudly trashing on the CEO. It says a lot that it’s happening in the first place. Says even more that they aren’t able to stop it.

Also, look at the activity numbers here. I’m not trying to trash on Lemmy, but we are a drop on the bucket. It’s far more effective for us to be visible and loud than silent and ignored.

For clarity sake, I’m not encouraging anyone to go do anything, nor the other way around. But if you want to, ignore the comments, saying that this is going to say, Reddit with traffic and engagement from you if you go. It clearly isn’t, and your loud protest is valuable. 

They did.

And this is from 2013. The last line is particularly poignant.

Speaking of Congress, its members seem to be the only people in America getting as much down time as the medieval peasant. They get 239 days off this year.
