i thought we were just joking around here, but if you’re being serious: there’s zero chance that’s actually Margot Robbie.
or maybe like a 1% chance it’s actually Margot Robbie, but for the last three months she’s been playing a character on lemmy that’s a goofy impersonation of Margot Robbie that breaks character all the time.
Does it make sense for Academy Award nominated actress Margot Robbie to promote her latest movie on her first personal social media account in years?
does it make sense for academy award nominated actress Margot Robbie to cross the picket line to promote the barbie movie on lemmy during the sag-aftra strike? yep, she’s well-known for her anti-union politics and general disdain for labour. therefore, this must be a real account.
“droid” was actually a verizon brand, not motorola or google. any droid-branded phone was a verizon rebranding of a phone that was sold as something else outside the US.
but yeah, android never existed outside of google. Google bought out android before their first public release.
so… all those people who argued that trump getting indicted because is no big deal because an indictment is not a conviction, and it’s all poltical… they feel the same way about this, right?
password rotation is generally not considered a “best practice” but not doing something because it’s not a best practice is only a good strategy if you’re actually going to follow the best practices. password rotation is less effective than a good password manager and long randomly generated passwords that are unique to each site. requiring passwords be rotated can be an impediment to using strong unique passwords, which is why it’s not a good practice.
but a freshly rotated “MyNewPassword15” is a million times better than your password being “password”, or being the same thing you use on every sketchy website whose database has been breached a dozen times.
it seemed like a really weird decision for OpenAI to have an AI classifier in the first place. their whole business is to generate output that’s good enough that it can’t be distinguished from what a human might produce, and then they went and made a tool to try and point out where they failed.

fun fact: if you try to actually boil a frog, it jumps out of the pot. frogs aren’t that dumb.
my experience with online friendships is that it’s much easier to self-select. you absolutely can get to know people really well over the internet, but it’s also much easier to completely ignore who seems a bit annoying. at least for me, gathering people in the same room and forcing some physical interaction is more likely to make me get to know the people i probably wouldn’t otherwise.
that being said, i think the whole productivity aspect is bunk and bosses want you in the office so they can say the things to you that they’re afraid to put into writing. “in person collaboration” isn’t code for you talking to your colleague, it’s code for bosses want to be able to catch employees in the hallways and ask them to work on pet projects that are outside the employees designated duties or priorities, without a meeting record.
i mean, i mostly agree. i don’t get my news from facebook, and most people i know who use facebook say it’s a generally more pleasant experience without news on the site.
but when i say “now they’re complaining” i don’t just mean random people. the people that are complaining are Justin Trudeau and David Eby. If they want facebook to link to news sites, they shouldn’t charge facebook money for that. most websites pay facebook money to link to them.
government sites can still be linked to through facebook. that’s not the issue.
facebook isn’t linking to news sites. if you want news from news sites, go to the news sites. the “vital resources” aren’t on CTV
the government’s argument in implementing the link tax was that facebook doesn’t provide any value, they just take news for free and make a profit off it.
so facebook stopped linking to news. and now they’re complaining because facebook isn’t providing the valuable service that they used to. so does facebook provide value by linking to news, or not?
twitter may have been a shithole in general, but it was great compared to what it is now.
he’s going to “surrender to jail” because that’s what this step of the process is called. he’s not actually going to be locked up
My guess as to how it went:
yeah, elon’s not going to see the negative consequences of this personally, because he’ll just use the “ban” button instead of the “block” button.
It’s always good to step back from “companies” and think of companies as just a bunch of people.
Is it good for companies to force employees back to the office? Nah, probably not. Is it good for the guy who has to explain why he signed a 10-year lease on all that office space, and now it’s sitting empty? Yup. Is it good for the lonely manager who wants to be surrounded by people, and has the power to make that happen? Yup. Is it good for the exec who has to find some reason why his department is underperforming, and decides remote work is a good scapegoat? Ehhh….
But we’re not talking about salary here. We’re talking residuals, per quarter, paid on top of the salary they received for the original work.
For a show that is 13 years old. Collecting $6k per quarter for work you did 13 years ago and that you have to do absolutely nothing for anymore seems pretty good to me?
There’s a hell of a lot of working class people who would absolutely love to be getting paid like that. Trying to frame this as the working class vs the rich seems really dishonest. Do TV writers even understand what the working class is, or how much we make? I sure as hell don’t collect $6k per quarter for work I did 13 years ago. If I did, I’d be rich.
the battle between ad-blockers and ad-blocker-blockers is eternal. adblockers will adapt.
if i block ads, it’s only fair that google tries to block my blocking of their ads. calling this “enshittification” is silly, they didn’t make their product worse they just are doing a better job of enforcing the rule that’s always been there.
