I’m late, but happy birthday! Finally made that donation that I said I would. I love this place.

Is Sharon Apple somehow involved? Can we get a list of virtual idols with suspicious behavior?

Maybe it’s my client but no auto complete happens as I type a username or community. I was hoping for a more reddit-like function where it drops down with suggestions as I type. I browse exclusively on mobile so it’s a minor hassle to save a draft, search for the user, and then go back to my comment to finish typing.

Like I said- a minor hassle.

I believe @db0 could use all the hope they can get. (I’ve been here forever and I still don’t know how [or if I can] tag users without exiting my comment to look them up)

Used to speak the King’s En-ga-lish

But caught a rash on my lips, so now my chat just like dis

There’s a bay?!?!

I’m interviewing for a job today that could drastically change my life. If I get it I’ll be setting aside some $ to help maintain this instance. Your work here and beyond (ex. AI horde) are incredible and I’m looking forward to helping

Yes but also when people are telling someone they’re from New York they tend to assume the city, so the follow-up answer is for clarification. The state is big and wildly different from NYC

Dang I wish I knew that at the time. I had to run it many times before I was satisfied that my history was properly edited before deleting everything

I can’t speak to the article that you’ve posted several times due to the paywall, but I can speak to the language and the antagonistic attitude they actually used during the entire debacle. Placing explicit blame on third party apps like Apollo, Sync, Boost, etc.- that was the argument used. It doesn’t matter what the real reason was. They were publicly placing blame on small fish instead of the AI monster that was stealing all of their content and bandwidth

IIRC that was not the case. They very publicly blamed 3rd party apps, which was both disingenuous and not transparent.

Other than this latest revelation, Darknet Diaries has an incredible episode recapping it’s development

Which is why we have “infantry.” Soldiers who don’t speak and follow orders

Yep my buddy at VMware was waiting to get laid off all year. Finally happened two weeks ago

I think the entire platform would be happier if there was user-level power to easily block instances. Really hoping the devs consider it a priority.

Just throwing it in there that I enjoy reading some hexbear posts. I’d rather unsub from stuff than remove my option to do so on my own

Yes I meant unbiased, but I was unsure if even using that word would be taken the wrong way. I don’t want to be taken as a centrist or anything like that, because I’m not even close.

I just want a flat clinical review of what it says versus what it actually means without clickbait sensationalism. It is plainly bad, that much is obvious. But what are the real-life, bureaucratic implications of its potential execution?

Thanks for the link, I’ll definitely check it out.

Is there a neutral review of project 2025 that you can point to? That site is ass and either points to a book you can buy or a thousand links to PDFs.

Yep the world is all kinds of fucked up haha. But you do what you can with what you’ve got I guess

Having grown up where David Duke also lives, ambiguously failing the paper bag test, and coming of age during 9/11, I encountered a wide variety of racial insults. Many of them involved the n-word.

The most memorable one for me happened after the orator learned that I was neither black, Arabic, Hispanic, Italian, nor Asian.

“Oh you’re Hawaiian? I heard you Island N-words don’t even sing the National Anthem.”

The other aggressors as well as my friends burst into laughter at how ridiculously stupid his statement sounded. Even his buddy was like, “Hawaii is a state you fucking idiot.”

The encounter ended and we all moved on but I still laugh when it pops into my head
