You should watch Black Summer, more fun than TWD, in my opinion.

Can we just call it the "Rainbow Club"🌈🎉?

My Proposal:

1. The government creates a website that generates random rotating OTP verification codes that is viewable to anyone logged in to the website with their governemnt ID account. This would expire within X time, and a new one shows up.

2. So you type in this code in the adult site

3. Then site send that [code + timestamp of when they received] it to the government website

4. The government side checks the code against the time stamp, then sends back a ✅️ if meets the minimum age limit, other wise sends back a ❌️

5. The site get back the ✅️ or ❌️ and lets person access the site or denies them access accordingly.

Everyone has the same code, but the code rotates and expires quickly. So kids would need an adult to get them access to adult content. Not impossible, but much harder. Its sort of like smoking or alcohol. Kids are always gonna try to find a way around it if they are determined.

I LOVE THE SUPREME LEADER! LONG LIVE THE SUPREME LEADER!

Biden didn’t seem to care if you called him a “Demented Old Man”

This current administration is led by a crybaby

“Don’t mind me, I have 2 house in case one burns down” 😁

c/LemmyPreppers? 😁

If I can find three reputable sources that say the same thing

They used to say ALL cholestrol was bad, every doctor said it. But then someone discovered about HDL and LDL

Also, doctors used to say smoking doesn’t cause cancer.

There’s nothing to be done about content scraping (which has been going on for decades).

Hi my name is Michael Stevens.

You may know me as the creator and host of the VSauce 1 on YouTube on December 8, 2011 I created the how to basic YouTube channel. I created it as what I believe to be Step 1 in an important human revolution.

As I looked around at what technology was doing to you, I realized that we were offloading information and skills to machines. You no longer have to know how to, fix a dented car, how to make an apple pie, you could just… “Google It”. The human mind was being replaced by machines, and once that replacement is finished… Humanity’s gone.

I thought warning people would be enough, but then I realized… it was too late… Only a revolution that tore down the infrastructure of technology in our world would be sufficient. And I could only do that from the inside.

I needed to upload DIY informational and educational content full of misinformation and absurdist comedy. That way, the system would fall apart. People wouldn’t trust machines, and we would all have to trust ourselves.

Waterproof certifications will be dropped.

Not sure about that…

I mean, its technically do-able:

See: Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro - Removable battery, headphone jack, IP68 rating, “Military Grade” (MIL-STD-810H compliant), expandable storage (sd card slot), 1080p 6.6-inch LCD display, Gorilla Glass victis+, USB 3.2 25W charging, fingerprint sensor. The whole package.

Only downside is the shitty cameras and slow processor.

Why not both?

Exhibit A: Samsung Galaxy XCover series, which are still being made to this day (although the specs are horrible for the price)

In a democracy, rule of law is supposed to replace “fighting a war in a battlefield” with “elections”, rule of law upholds stability.

In an authoritarian country, its to protect the the dictator/dictators.

I live in the US, and unfortunately, the “democracy” is heavily manipulated by powerful oligarchs, so I think it only ever did like 50% what it was supposed to do at its peak (Civil Rights movement was an example, it was only half peaceful, at least the other half of it was violent police brutality and mob lynchings), it already failed once in 1860, and now, ever since January 20 of this year, its had been on a rapid decline, again.

Is a lab grown genetically modified human-brain hooked to a computer technically considered “Artificial Intelligence”?

1. They did not falsely claim to be the OC creator, and they credited you.

2. This is a public forum. If you intend to make money off of it later, you shouldn’t be freely posting the images publically without any watermarking. I don’t know what jurisdiction would apply here on this federated forum, but to give an example of one of the most litigated jurisdictions, the USA:

Copyright exists automatically in an original work of authorship once it is fixed, but a copyright owner can take steps to enhance the protections. The most important step is registering the work. Registering a work is not mandatory, but for U.S. works, registration (or refusal) is necessary to enforce the exclusive rights of copyright through litigation. Timely registration also allows copyright owners to seek certain types of monetary damages and attorney fees if there is a lawsuit, and also provide a presumption that information on the registration certificate is correct.

Copyright registration also provides value to the public overall. It facilitates the licensing marketplace by allowing people to find copyright ownership information, and it provides the public with notice that someone is claiming copyright protection. It also provides a record of this nation’s creativity.

Perhaps you should register your works if you are serious about it.

3. Crossposting doesn’t re-upload, it still links to your original image. This is essentially someone finding your website, and admires an image, then share the link to the image. If you go to your profile and delete it, its also gone from the crosspost.

4. @[email protected] For news articles, links or even c/asklemmy questions, its totally fine. For OC content, I’d probably just try to not piss off people. Like it’s not morally wrong or anything, I get that you intent is just wanting to share, but like… if the original creator explicitly asked you not to… I’d just not.

Lulz. I just stole your comment. It’s mine now.

Yes I will download your car too.

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ (yaRrr)

@[email protected] keep up the good work, hates are gonna hate, ignore their feelings lol.

There’s no street view of the allyway where the entrances to the buildings are (a car can’t fit in there).

So you go down the allyway, and there are entrances left and right. You have to open the door. Each building has a different key that everyone in the building has. You go in, it’s the 1st floor, there’s like this square area, and there like 2 units on the left 2 units on the right (I think). Then you turn your face 180° and there’s are stairs right beside the tiny path you entered the building from, you go up, and like on this area, where I call the floor 1.5 (half way up to 2nd floor), you can see the outside…

Let me find a stock image…

So see that window thing? Imagine that whole window is gone, but replace with a barrier of cement as high as an adult’s waist level. That’s it! No safety nets or anything.

Like you can see a person standing in front of of the entrance of your building, you can jump over it and fall to your death. (I had intrusive thoughts abould falling out of the building, which is probably why I’m scared of heights)

They had nets over the windows in the apartment unit, but not on the stairs. Somebody getting drunk is definitely gonna leap over it and fall and die lol.

(My other comment posted half way typing it so I deleted that one)

It was like 2010s when I first immigrated to the US. I never had internet before, neither did my parents or brother.

I think Mainland China probably had internet, but like… I lived in a part of the city that is sort of 50% resembling the “Favalas” of Brazil (no offense, I just can’t find a better term to describe it). Its like this area of tall building that has little to no safety. No elevators, a staircase that ran from ground floor to like idk 7 or 8 floors? And the stairs were exposed to outside the building, meaning you could accidentally fall and die. It took a half an hour to get to the main road where you can actually take a bus and where the malls are at.

So you get the idea of where I was…

Basically, I doubt there even is an internet connection, at least not in my area of Guangzhou City. I assume some rich people probably would have access.

So I was a kid, and came with my parents and my brother to NYC on an immigration visa. And we got a used desktop computer setup that a relative no longer needed. They gave this wifi addon thing that scans for wifi in the area, and there was a free wifi, but the signal was too weak. So we later got a laptop on Black Friday (back then, people actually waited hours to get in), and use the laptop on a nearby mcdonalds to download stuff. Also we use the public library of Brooklyn for internet access.

Well I didn’t really have my own computer, it was basically just sharing with my brother (who gotten more toxic as we got older)

Then later on we got home internet, it was like $30 for introductory 2 year price, but later it wne tup to like $50. I don’t remember what speed, but I’m assuming it was like 30 or 50 mbps download. I never ran any speedtests, but youtube videos worked fine.

I mostly just used the internet for information. Like looking up info about space, science. I also played a lot of Flash games on webpages I find, that was essentially my main source of “gaming” at the time.

Some kids at my (elementary) school had facebooks, I made one, and added a few people I talked to, played some games on facebook that ran on the Unity Plugin. I eventually stopped using facebook. But still play Unity Games on websites

Then we moved cities and now have slightly better internet. Then I got my own laptop.

And I was like 13/14 I think, and I started to read a lot of wikipedia and a lot of Youtube educational videos, but my main “gaming” was still those web Unity Games. I mean, it was just a shitty laptop, not a gaming rig, not I wouldn’t have been able to run any actual “real” games.

Then I learned about reddit and the “free” 😉 stuff you can download from the internet, but unfortunately, I could not find a car to download… 🤷‍♂️

As for my parents, once they got smartphones, they were just glued to Wechat like some rural US Fox news watchers… 🤦‍♂️

I could go more in detail about early internet (well, “early” from my PoV), but I doubt people are gonna read this if I write a whole wall of text.

(Sorry if this was incoherent, I can’t keep my words clear and concise)
