IIRC, the last time I used a new install of LO for the first time, it asked me which interface I preferred instead of defaulting to the old one.

Not sure which frontend or app you’re using, but at least the default web UI should have a block button for you, as it does for me.

Closed primaries are cancer. Disappointed, but not surprised, that a shithole like Louisiana is switching to them instead of away like any sane place should.

A C compiler in two weeks is a difficult, but doable, grad school class project (especially if you use lex and yacc instead of hand-coding the parser). And I guarantee 80 hours of grad student time costs less than $20k.

Frankly, I’m not impressed with the presentation in your anecdote at all.

I understand they say the modified ads are offensive, but it’s still kind of annoying that the article doesn’t include any side-by-side comparisons so we can see how bad it actually is.

Also, after getting blown off by their bullshit “highest internal team,” the developer needs to escalate to their legal department by suing for defamation.

What? I didn’t mean it like it was a bad thing!

I mean I think a lot of us are nerds who like sci-fi and possibly sympathize with the kid in the book who decides he wants to be abducted.

I’m a basic bitch, so some of the first that came to mind have already been mentioned by others:

• Papoutai - Stromae (along with some other of his songs)
• Baba Yetu - Christopher Tin
• Dragostea Din Tei - O-Zone

To those, I’ll add some other meme songs / songs that have been used in English-speaking media:

• Tunak Tunak Tun - Daler Mehndi
• Je survivrai - Michele Richard

Also the ultra-popular ones everybody already knows and I won’t bother to link, such as Bad Apple, Gangnam Style, the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, etc.

How can I ever thank ya?

(Seriously though that is actually the brand and capacity I need to match my existing array, although a red instead of a blue would be ideal.)

One HDD, please

Which is why using it should be considered harmful and everyone should say “Free Software” instead.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s very popular among the sorts of folks who use Lemmy.

That’s dumb as Hell. At best, “good” “AI” “acting” would compete in categories like “best screenplay” or “best animation” or something like that, because there’s no actual acting or actor involved.

He’s not wrong that the film industry is going to do everything it can to eliminate the costs of expensive human actors, though, although the summary blurb is wrong ascribing his remarks as addressing “younger generations.” Trademarking themselves might help the incumbent superstars for a while, but any actor who doesn’t already have that kind of fame has no real future career.

They’ll work their way up to the Ls, Gs, and Bs eventually.

That’s all still just parts of phase 1.

Of course he does. He undoubtedly wants to mass-murder trans people, too. Baby steps.

That’s not what it said. It said, “if you don’t do politics, there’s not much you doo-doo.”

You can’t say that and not photoshop in his actual mugshot.

No, realistically what we’re looking at is a full ban on 3D printing as a whole because anything the printer does “might” be a gun part.

And then shortly after, a ban on property rights as a whole, because anything you own with a circuit board or a stepper motor in it “might” be modified to create an illegal 3D printer.

…And even then, they’re leveraging the open source under the hood. Even your locked-down Bambu piece of shit uses slicing software based on Slic3r.

I don’t see how this can be regulated.

That’s the neat part: it can’t. Which means attempting to do so anyway basically abolishes all property rights.

And thus the true purpose of the legislation is revealed.
