I’m not a software hobbyist anymore. I don’t want to spend hours doing research and trying to de-enshittify my new phone. I know Apple is ripping me off, but if one believes that time is money, it’s actually tolerable. Then there’s the UI, which I believe is the best in the market.
I’m not a fan of Apple’s walled garden, but for me, it’s the lesser evil. If someone goes with Samsung or something, though, I’d be a dick if I was a snob about it. Use what you like!
If you don’t mind me asking, what is your father’s financial situation?
I’m thinking that when your father dies, these disgusting parents will expect a piece of the inheritance. The girl is a pawn.
Heads up: this comment posted twice
You’re not ridiculous for worrying, but I think you’ll be okay. Since we’ve got a bigot running the show, it’ll help even more if you’re white (I hate saying that, but that’s the situation).
The future is another thing to consider. I assume that the situation for immigrants will only get worse, and turn into a complete shitshow when Mango Mussolini goes for his third term. This might be the least precarious time to leave the U.S. for several years. Make your trip count.
Beware people who mistake fun and humor for immaturity.
Anyone who’s “immediately turned off” probably wouldn’t be much fun to be with, anyway. Your idea is a good one. The propeller hat makes it screamingly obvious that this is a fun joke. DO IT!
Edit: perhaps consider including one of those giant lollipops
Basically, yeah. If the rest of their arguments are this weak, OpenAI is fucked, and deservedly so.
I’m smart enough to understand that setting up domestic manufacturing is much more complicated and expensive than I could guess. I also know that getting a project like this from concept to steady, reliable, marketable production takes years.
I also know that the people who think this is quick and easy will proudly wear their MAGA hats today.
I’m trying to think of a good joke involving cum soup, garlic, and vampires, but it isn’t working out. I’m sure y’all can do something with that.

I wonder if he’s open minded enough to accept information he wasn’t expecting, or one of those people for whom no proof will ever be good enough.
My answer depends on whether the country you’re going to has an extradition treaty with the United States.
America won big both morally and militarily in WWII. For the average poorly informed citizen, that meant our government had permanently earned its position as the Good Guy. Lots of people thought (and still think) that any evidence to the contrary is merely a mistake or anomaly.
Then there’s capitalism. Wartime manufacturing brought us out of the Great Depression, and even the average citizen benefited. Unfortunately, capitalism became much more powerful than we realized, and now we’re beginning to see what a monster we’ve created. We know that the top 1% are literally killing our biosphere to protect their investments, but somehow our Good Guy government is allowing it to continue. The average citizen can’t reconcile those facts, so they decided that the facts must be wrong.
Government and capitalism have always been intertwined, but never to the extent we’re seeing under Trump. A Nazi billionaire is shaping government policy. That was supposed to be impossible. Again, the average citizen can’t reconcile those truths, so many of them decided that the libtards must be exaggerating.
I wouldn’t say that we Americans are stupid. I’d use the word “foolish” instead. “Deceived”, too. A few people saw what was coming and tried to warn the rest of us, but we let it happen anyway, because organizations that we thought we could trust lied to us.
Those of us with at least some awareness of what’s going on are traumatized (whether we think so or not). We’re trying to accept that our own government suddenly hates a lot of us, and that the corporations that have tried so hard to make themselves indispensable are, at best, constantly trying to deceive and monetize everything about us.
I must reluctantly agree. Replace “nervous” with “annoyed” and you’ve got a more accurate headline.
I think people will support democracy.
The biggest lemmy instance…
That seems like a flaw in this reasoning. I don’t think the behavior of society as a whole can be extrapolated from the behavior of Lemmy users.
My favorite is the player who was giving him shit for it. Good for her!
Yeah, I would definitely eat that!
I’m having a difficult time accepting that peanut butter is good on a burger. I guess I should try it.
Yes. That disdainful, hateful, arrogant-but-clueless glare is the most unique thing about him.
