That's a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.

Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like "Torvalds Drops support After Clash!"

EDIT: New rule?

I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.

Star Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:

  • Historical allegories
  • Political intrigue
  • Mystery
  • Anti-racist themes
  • Spaceship battles
  • Awkward Chekhov

BASHIR: Out of all the episodes of star trek, which ones were canon and which ones weren't?

GARAK: My dear Doctor, they're all canon.

BASHIR: Even the non-cannonical ones?

GARAK: Especially the non-cannonical ones.

Does it count as "a human" if it's a bot reposting human-made content for the 50th time?

I know he's just selling the platform to AI companies, but it's an odd take considering they've been moving away from being a message board and towards being just another content feed for years now.

This is pretty fucked up, OP

The top finger kinda gives it away imo

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

You've got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those "quirky, weird" websites people nostalgize over weren't seeking clout, they were seeking connection.

I think it's healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that "followers" are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making "art" with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then... that's just a job, imo.
