I had to do two,
Because the first wasn't true.
I was a child of a young sort
When I looked upon my porch.
In order to cut our trees faster,
My dad bought The Tree Master.
It was a wood chipper with buttons and levers.
I borrowed it's name and thought myself clever.
That was well over 10 years ago.
I never came up with a new name, though.
In the past, beyond the pale
A forgotten story, a foreign tale
Traversing through a mountainous wood
A lone figure, wearing a hood
The forest was dire, but he walked with ease
Because he alone was the master of trees
Branches sway to clear a street
For any other, they would surely beat
What was the name of that man on the hill?
Why, none other than Tom Bombadil!
Moby Dick by Fonda Lee. Her writing skills are legendary. She can set a scene, build up a character, and carry a plot better than almost anyone I've read before. And moby dick has such a good story with lots of interesting characters. The main drawback is the stale writing that makes it hard to focus at times
At least it ruins their ability to advertise with r/place like they wanted to. At this point, making as much of reddit as useless as possible is the last way to make them listen
I put tor on a flash drive. It bypassed the schools website blocks, so I could go onto any website I wanted. I mainly just went to YouTube to listen to music while I worked. If I really felt like goofing off, I'd go to friv.com and play a bunch of flash games.
Of course a couple friends had me to go to a porn website, but we quickly realized it was awkward and not as fun to be horny when you couldn't do anything about it.
I don't really have the time to look for timestamps, but he does present his arguments from many different angles. I highly recommend watching the whole thing if you can.
Aside from that, the main thing I want to address is the responsibility of these big corporations to curate the massive library of content they gather. It's entirely in their power to blacklist certain things like PII or sensitive information or hate speech, but they decided not to because it was cheaper. They took a gamble that people either wouldn't care, didn't have the resources to fight it, or would actively support their theft if it meant getting a new toy to play with.
Now that there's a chance they could lose a massive amount of money, this could deter other ai companies from flagrantly breaking the law and set a better standard that protects people's personal data. Tbh I don't really think this specific case has much ground to stand on, but it's the first step in securing more safety for people online. Imagine if the database for this ai was leaked. Imagine all of the personal data, yours and mine included, that would be available to malicious people. Imagine the damage that could cause.
This video can answer just about any question you ask. It's long, but it's split up into chapters so you can see what questions he's answering in that chapter. I do recommend you watch the whole thing if you can. There's a lot of information that I found very insightful and thought provoking
Good. Technology always makes strides before the law can catch up. The issue with this is that multi million dollar companies use these gaps in the law to get away with legally gray and morally black actions all in the name of profits.
Edit: This video is the best way to educate yourself on why ai art and writing is bad when it steals from people like most ai programs currently do. I know it's long, but it's broken up into chapters if you can't watch the whole thing.
I've had youtube premium for several years now. Most of the creators I watch do their best to integrate their sponsorships in an appropriate way. Whether that's choosing a sponsorship related to the video topic, or making it entertaining in its own right.
It's expensive to run servers that hosts tens of billions of videos. If you don't want to pay for access, then pay for no ads. If you don't want to pay for no ads, then watching the ads is the only way. Remember, if you're not buying the product, then you are the product.
I hope that my comment didn't read as me complaining. I fully understand that this is different from reddit and I'm grateful to every developer working on lemmy in any capacity.
I just wanted to be sure I tried all of the popular options to find what works best before fully committing to one. Out of the four, liftoff seems to be the best. The main issue it got with it is that both accounts share the same settings. If I change a setting for one account, it changes the settings for the other as well.
Okay, so I've been here for a few days and I'm getting increasingly confused. I used reddit exclusively on mobile and was hoping to do the same thing for lemmy. But it seems like every app has major features missing. I've already tried 4 different apps and every one is missing a feature I'd consider critical. Keeping two accounts separate, adjusting settings for two different accounts, commenting, replying, posting, subscribing, and searching for specific instances are all pretty important, but every app is missing one or more of these features.
Is there a quickstart guide anywhere to get more familiar with this? Does anyone know of an app that can do all of this? I've already tried jerboa, summit, connect, and liftoff
That's pretty cool. What's the story with the robot and little one on the bottom right?
