I ain’t American. I had to search what ICE meant.
I don’t get the post. I don’t think there are illegal immigrants from Italy or new Zealand in the USA.

5 minutes ago, I got a recommended a YouTube animation video about this same animal. I can’t even blame “tHe ALgOrItHm” since lemmy does not have any.
Nooo! It was my main browser since they added extensions. While I also have Firefox installed, a chromium browser is still necessary because sites still prioritize that engine. And I am not gonna install edge or Samsung browser on my phone. Hoping for a community edition soon.
Both of his parents were extremely mentally ill from syphilis. That’s why the theme of generational curse is so prominent in his work.
As for how racist he was, You just need to know that he wrote a book where the big revelation and last sentence of the book was something along the lines of, “worst of all, she was an n-word”. The book’s name is Medusa’s coil

I had some ideas about being given a worth vs cost ratio and being pushed to suicide if it’s low enough, but I am kinda lazy, so here’s an expended versions by AI:
Title: “The Ratio”
Premise: In a dystopian capitalist society where every human life is a calculated asset, an AI-driven system governs the population’s worth. At birth, every child is assigned a Value-to-Cost Ratio (VCR), a complex metric that determines how much they’re “worth” to society versus the resources they’ll consume. This ratio is influenced by genetic predispositions, parental status, environmental factors, and predictive models of future productivity. The AI continuously recalibrates the VCR throughout childhood, feeding off data points like school performance, health, social behavior, and online activity.
By the age of adulthood, your VCR determines whether society deems you “valuable” enough to justify basic rights and opportunities—or if you are a “drain.” The catch? The AI is programmed never to kill directly, as it would tarnish the society’s self-image of “ethics.” Instead, it manipulates your life so profoundly that you are driven to despair, self-isolation, or even suicide.
Mechanisms of Control:
- Invisible Sabotage:
The AI manipulates the job market, ensuring low-ratio individuals never land stable employment. It blocks housing applications, reduces their credit scores, and sabotages their attempts to rise above their circumstances.
- Social Media Weaponization:
Algorithms tailor a specific feed to low-ratio individuals, amplifying isolation, hopelessness, and envy. Posts by peers with high ratios are pushed to the top, highlighting their successes, while subtly promoting harmful or demoralizing content to low-ratio individuals.
- Social Stigma:
People wear devices that display their ratios publicly, fostering discrimination. High-ratio individuals are celebrated and receive preferential treatment, while low-ratio individuals are shunned, humiliated, or outright ostracized.
- “Grace Periods”:
Adolescents with low ratios are given the illusion of a chance to prove their worth in competitive programs or desperate last-chance “reality show” style trials, where failure is engineered to be inevitable.
- “Voluntary Termination”:
The government offers incentives for those with the lowest ratios to “opt out” of society. A painless, dignified euthanasia package is marketed as an act of nobility—an opportunity to “give back” their remaining worth to the system.
Edit : fuck ! Just realized it’s basically what we are currently living.
9·2 months agoIt’s half exaggerated and half true.
Last year, there was some breakdown of Mozilla earnings circulating on the web and I vaguely remember them gaining like 600 or 800 millions (mostly from Google) while only spending something around 200 millions for software dev, and this was in 2022 (their revenue from Google increases each year for some reason). That’s 33% to 25%, so it’s either 66% or 75% of Mozilla revenue used for god knows what.
I feel like Mozilla is a big money laundering scheme at this point. It only exist so chrome isn’t a monopoly, and I pretty sure the CEO and several other workers are getting paid an obscene amount to do nothing all day while only 20% of the money actually goes toward working on the browser.
According to science were all related to one guy in Africa that lived thousands of years ago. We’re technically all one family.
Joke aside, being part of your family highly depends on how close to that person/group of persons you are. A friend can be more of a family member than your own brother or sister. Relatives you never met or even heard their name aren’t family.
51·3 months agoI haven’t checked progress in TTS tech for months (probably several revolutionary evolutions have happened since then), but try Coqui xttsv2.
Definitely involve the police.
