HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•US sanctions UN expert Francesca Albanese, critic of Israel's Gaza offensiveEnglish25·1 day agoThe US is THE state sponsor of terrorism.
Not saying other countries have never done it, but the US has done it more than everyone else combined and pioneered many of the now “standard” tactics.
HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated successEnglish8·1 day agoPeople would be less mad if you straight up used a stock image with a watermark so I don’t understand why people go out of their way to use AI when they know people will comment on it and it will detract from the point of the article.
Also, using AI in the thumbnail makes people automatically assume you’re using AI in the text as well. And if you’re not doing that, why would you lessen the perceived value of your writing by making it seem like you are?
It just seems pointless and actively harms your actual goals because people will get hung up on the fact that you used AI and ignore your actual valid points. Especially when you’re writing about open source projects when most people interested in open source are vehemently anti-AI, it really just shows you don’t know your target audience.
Once I was crossing a signalised intersection in Canada while the pedestrian light was on, and some jackass turning left on red (which is the most illegal way to run a red light btw) almost hit me and had to slam on the brakes, but what shocked me the most was that the driver behind them, also intending to turn left on red, fucking honked at the first driver for having the audacity to stop and get in their way instead of running me over.
I’ve also had multiple instances where I was about to cross an uncontrolled intersection and a driver (who’s usually speeding to the point where I could tell with just my eyes) honks at me to get back on the sidewalk because they don’t intend on stopping for me when the laws require them to. Also seen drivers turning right on red (which is legal here in BC for some reason) honking at pedestrians crossing with the light and demanding to go first when the laws say you’re definitely supposed to wait until the cross walk clears.
This is why I hate drivers. They call cyclists and pedestrians entitled while doing shit like this.
We get it, you figured out how to use inspect element.

The fact that they straight up refused to help him says a lot. If they were truly ignorant of the existence of a Status Card wouldn’t they call their supervisor?
HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlOPto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Production breaking driven developerEnglish1·2 days agoI like testing my helper/utility functions mainly so I can be sure I implemented them correctly. That way I can focus on my main implementation and narrow down where the problems are coming from.

Yeah I just love having my cancer diagnosis sent in plaintext over copper wire such that anyone with a dollar store audio recorder and physical access to the wire can intercept. If there’s one thing 19th century data transmission tech is known for, it’s security and privacy.
Is it too much to ask that hospitals use the literally decades old AES standard for sending medical data?
HiddenLayer555@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should a drawing that was made using AI references be marked as "AI Generated Content"?English1·3 days agoIsn’t that literally how art guilds in the middle ages operated? Like if you weren’t part of the guild and tried to sell art you made, a mob from the guild would come along, destroy all your works, and probably beat the shit out of you for good measure?

They were death camp prisoners tasked with emptying the gas chambers and cremating the victims to “save” the SS from having to do it. When it was their turn in the gas chamber, most of them were reported to be relieved, and there’s a story of a Sonderkommando team being warned by another prisoner that they’re headed to the gas chamber, and they essentially said “we know. We’re the Sonderkommando and this is a mercy for us.”

Anything really polarizing can end up with a cult following. Just look at Rust.
