just another dev

It sucks that it overshadows the actual news.

On the plus side, this post serves as a wonderful tool to clean up some garbage users/servers.

Damn, those are not rookie numbers!

Now that sounds like the job for an extension, since for most users “stfu and always apply the fix” would be the preferred option.

How about, if you want a broken version of Firefox, you compile it yourself, rather than let everyone else suffer?
Like, the vast majority of browser users don’t even know what an extension is, let alone install one.

I like the thought, but I can’t imagine that most people will enjoy getting even more popups when they load up a site, especially when they come from the browser itself.

Just take a look at OP here. If they responds this way to settings that are there for their actual benefit - just imagine how much they’ll like those popups.

Awww, it learned to write a word without understanding what it means.

Yeah fair enough. Key part was “arcs that go nowhere”. I got so incredibly tired of TV shows that think the way to do mystery is drawing out plot far too slowly, in hopes you’ll tune in next episode.

Then again, regarding new trek, I only watched season 1 of Discovery, and the first episode of Picard. I ain’t got no patience for this.

And most important (for me): self-contained episodes. No season long story arcs that go nowhere.

I wasn’t awake enough to appreciate the sarcasm in this comment when I initially read it. Nice one.

Oh. Ok.

Why?

But why wouldn’t those same limits not apply to biological controllers? A neuron is basically a transistor.

Because people don’t read articles, and this way OP can still get the rage-engagement

In a way, that’s what I’m contributing to now as well. So that’s why I’m not even going to

I’d wager the main reason we can’t prove or disprove that, is because we have no strict definition of intelligence or sentience to begin with.

For that matter, computers have many more transistors and are already capable of mimicking human emotions - how ethical is that, and why does it differ from bio-based controllers?

The line has been changed to be gender neutral 9 hours ago. Victory!

Oh my. Sometimes Betteridge’s law of headlines is wrong.

I think they may have been rhetorical.

Is he banning them for disagreeing, or for people calling him a pedo over an autistic semantics discussion?

Mind you, I agree that when you hold controversial opinions about certain topics people are likely to discuss, you shouldn’t be a mod. Then again, if you value your sanity and blood pressure, you shouldn’t want to be a mod anyway - it’s a thankless job.

Huh? The screenshot says they think generated pictures are not abusive. Not the it’s not csam.

That’s a very dangerous way of twisting someone’s words, especially on a subject this emotionally charged.

Edit: adding to add that contrary to the title here, they are not talking about Editing pictures to be nudes, but generating them. Don’t get me wrong, I have no interest in seeing either, and the day they’re paying themselves is not doing them any favours. But someone is clearly out for character assassination here.

Nevermind, it was about altering the photos of a 15 year old girl into nudes. And while it technically/physically may not be child abuse, for the victim it might as well be. That’s indefensible - I’m out.

For me it just gives an error post0 failed to load.

Edit: that’s probably my lemmy client trying to approach this blog as though it were a lemmy instance 🤦‍♂️

It’s unused, you can go ahead and kill it.
