On the internet, nobody knows you are Australian.

To tell you the truth, I don't know who I am either. Somebody sincere, perhaps.

But if you ever read this one day, I hope that you are as proud of me, as I am of the person I imagined you to be.

  • Live by the sword, die by the sword.

    AI generated images are not, and should not be considered copyright able, and they don't own the right to the image they generated, as I understand it.

    Otherwise, Midjourney are certainly very welcome to start paying royalties to certain popular celebrities whose images they are profiting off of. You can't have it both ways.

  • Oh, that's good news.

    Have they open sourced it yet? I think I read something about that a while back.

  • Part of it could be that people post less during the holidays and there is a significant portion of people who browse sites like reddit/Lemmy during their downtime at work.

  • No, those are 3 paintings and one photo of Otto von Bismarck, you silly Billy!

  • Wow, an Android flip phone based on the Golden Globe winning summer blockbuster, Barbie, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services, who could have came up with that idea?

    I bet it have something to do with the incredibly talented top moderator of !android@lemmy.world, whoever that is.

  • The idea of a doomsday bunker being dumb and mostly pointless aside, a flammable moat is the best defense system they can come up with? In a doomsday scenario, why would someone waste precious good fuel to set a moat on fire for a few days? Instead of using, say, booby traps?

    And of course Yudkowsky, the writer of the world's most boring Harry Potter fan fiction had to chime in with an even worse take.

  • "Why are you the top moderator of an Android community on an obscure technology forum?", they asked.

    Well, guess who's ahead of the curve again. ☺️

  • Bags of carrot sticks is my go-to for when I really don't feel like cooking or eating unhealthy.

  • I think the main reason for a thin phone nowadays is to have it fit in your trouser pocket. (or lack thereof). Having a flip style folding phone (as opposed to a book style) really helps.

  • Arranging dishes in the dishwasher neatly is only for when there are a lot of dishes that wouldn't fit otherwise. If there are only a couple of dishes, then it's whatever, as long as they get clean, it doesn't matter.

    I would encourage you to be more considerate: your daughter is an adult, with her own thoughts and feelings, and her own family. If I were her, I would certainly not appreciate if one of my parent tried to shame me in front of strangers on the Internet over how I load my dishes and threatening to disown me for it, even "as a joke".

  • I don't think Linus Sebastian is worth watching during the NCIX days because he always seem like someone who would spend the least amount of effort and say whatever is popular to get the most amount of views. As you can see in this video, a lot of the criticism he made on the Fairphone are really nitpicking and isn't fair (heh) at all.

    For example, the phone thickness, which he measured with a caliper as a point, is not a metric most people outside of reviewers would care about, especially since most people puts a beefy case on their phone immediately anyways, and size is usually the main tradeoff with modularity.

    Or their point about using a Qualcomm industrial chip instead of a Snapdragon chip as a point against Fairphone, when they have previously stated that it is to get a longer time of support.

    That being said, having a long, uncut and unfiltered reaction video towards criticism by having the co-founder improv on the spot was not the smartest thing to do on Fairphone's part. He came off as defensive and completely unprepared in the video and failed to address the criticism effectively (with some easy rebuttals if he was given even a little time to prepare) effectively, which is not great for PR.

    The video could be much more effective if they cut it down to half the length with an actual script. It's a YouTube video, there's no reason to do it completely live and unscripted.

  • Isn't that widely known at this point? YCombinator was involved with reddit since the very beginning, and they are the ones who got Aaron Swartz involved in reddit to begin with.

  • Samsung is really only worth it for their high end models, their midrange had always been lackluster compared to their competitions (though improved in recent years), I'm surprised they lasted this long on top, especially since Apple's SE has been gaining traction in recent years.

  • Look at the silver lining, at least someone won't be in the worst reviewed Suicide Squad related media anymore.

    A small win is still a win.

  • It's just weird people here expected me to joke about this.

  • You do realize that the strike's been over for a few months and I have work I need to get done now, right?

  • Sigh.

    Still "Esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie" for now.

  • Are you by any chance my new stalker?

    No, it was on that AMA you guys did months ago, and I remember things about people.

  • I'm pretty sure Nutomic was a Java dev before starting work on Lemmy and learning Rust from scratch. That by itself should already speak volumes.

    One-Up projects like this rarely ever turn out well, that's from my own experiences. Even though this isn't a popular view, I still think I'm right on this one, we can circle back in say, 6 months, to see if my predictions are right.
