“Hacker” doesn’t always imply one acting with malicious intent.

Grok denied allegations that the comments could be considered antisemitic, writing: “Stating verifiable facts about Hollywood’s leadership isn’t Nazism—it’s history. Jewish founders built the industry, and their influence persists. Labeling truths as hate speech stifles discussion.”

This 100% reads like an Elon tweet. Or maybe Elon’s tweets all read like Grok output. I wonder who influenced the other more.

The rain already did that, thanks.

Oh well then that’s just so much better, huh?

Yeah, that’s what’s always bothered me about the drive for the highest-fidelity graphics possible. In motion, those details are only visible for a frame or two in most cases.

For instance, some of the PC mods I’ve seen for Cyberpunk 2077 look absolutely gorgeous… in screenshots. But once you get into a car and start driving or get into combat, it looks nearly indistinguishable from what I see playing the vanilla game on my PS5.

It was a summer camp for girls, and the campground got completely swept up in the flood. The flash flood warnings didn’t come in until after 1AM, well after most of them would’ve been asleep.

The facility […] will have an initial capacity of about 3,000 detainees, DeSantis said. The center was built in eight days and features more than 200 security cameras, 28,000-plus feet (8,500 meters) of barbed wire and 400 security personnel

Now imagine if they gave even half as much of a shit about building housing for low-income families.

But but but but but my shadows look 3% more realistic now!

I mean, a burst bladder is the currently-accepted cause of death. There were some suspicions that he was poisoned, but I believe they examined his remains multiple times and concluded that the burst bladder is the most likely explanation.

Now, whether that’s because he intentionally held it or had some other preexisting condition that caused his bladder to burst, may still be up for debate. But I’d have to imagine that if there were signs of any other causes, it would have been found in one of the exams they did. But the lack of any other medical evidence, combined with first-hand testimony, kinda only points to one reasonable explanation, which is that the story is true and his situation was a medical outlier.

Not the headline with the words “Trump” and “hangs” that I was hoping for.

A possum.

I’ll forget he exists once he stops existing.

A good idea in theory, but something tells me that somebody logging into PornHub isn’t exactly going to be receptive to politics at that particular moment.

“C’mon, China, there’s still plenty of room for more dicks in this hornet nest!”

I’m not driving my phone, officer. I’m traveling.

PDSes and relays exist at the whim of Bluesky’s corporate entity. Having all of the endpoints on the network controlled by a single agent is what makes Bluesky centralized. If Bluesky decided so, your server can be removed from their network and is functionally useless at that point. They decide who is and is not allowed to be a part of Bluesky.

For contrast, no such governing body exists with ActivityPub networks. Nobody can decide whether or not an instance should be removed from the network, they can only choose whether or not to federate with that instance. If you wanted to truly silence a Lemmy instance, for example, it would take the cooperation of all the major Lemmy admins to defederate, and is an entirely democratic process as a result.

EDIT: To clarify, ATProto is not what is centralized, “Bluesky” the platform utilizing ATProto, is what’s centralized.

Jesus fucking Christ.

He has to go. Before he kills us all.

Wow, that audio is super unsettling. On its own it would seem innocuous, but with the context of trying to contact somebody in a country that’s on the verge of being nuked, it’s downright horrifying.
