Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.

I just want another 3D game where you actually play as Tails. Like, no mech. Just like Sonic levels but you can fly.

… You know you can just create a community and post stuff there, right?

Thank you! Could this be permanent? People can use an AskLemmyPolitics community if they really need to.

Scotland. I forget which vote it was for (either the independence referendum, brexit, elections, etc.) but maybe 5-10 mins. Other than that one it’s been mostly a ghost town.

… Huh, we’ve been to the polls a lot recently, haven’t we?

A lot of these machine learning models have been trained on art without their consent.

The entire AI art industry is basically rich megacorps exploiting small artists (who usually don’t make much income) to fuel their ever growing profit machines.

Great, it’s so close they’ll have to do a few recounts…

Fennec (the f-droid version of Firefox) on android. It’s not been updated in a while though, which is concerning…

Why should we meddle in the affairs of dolphins? By suggesting or mandating a particular style of democracy, are we not undermining their right to self governance?

If we were asked for advice on how best to do it (since it should be plain to see that we know what not to do), I’d maybe propose the AMS system we use here. There’s a stv system for one local representitive, then there is a list vote to fill up the rest of the seats in a proportional way.

I’m not up to date with American politics. Do you pre-drink before third party or is the second party enough to give you a buzz?

Your voting system is broken. You can present yourself as a hero who is fighting against the system, but all you are doing is letting someone who will commit more atrocities into power.

Elect Harris. Protest peacefully. Put pressure on her that way.

One thing I heard from somewhere is to pick a random word. Then for each letter in it, think of a random animal. Then pick another random word and repeat.

Supposedly this mimics the brain activity during sleep and dreaming, which tricks your brain into actually sleeping. No idea if it’s effective or not though.

The lack of primary selection/middle click paste. I select text, try to paste it and then have to sheepishly go back and actually copy it for realsies.

I used to get annoyed at the lack of multiple workspaces, but since switching to a multi-monitor setup, I don’t really use multiple workspaces any more.

If there’s a post or something on another instance but not your one, you can enter the full URL into the search bar and it will fetch it and make it available on your instance (unless defeds get in the way).

Works on both Lemmy and Mastodon.

I have a Fairphone 5. Maybe too expensive for what it is, but hopefully it doesn’t have a big evil annoying company behind it and it should hopefully last a while. Still running stock Android on it though, because I don’t want to lose Play Attestation or whatever it is called.

The camera can sign things however it wishes, but that doesn’t automatically make the camera trustworthy.

In the same sense, I can sign any number of documents claiming to have seen a crime take place but that doesn’t make it sufficient evidence.

I have in my hand a tiny 1cm square hollow cube. I define the inside of the cube the “outside” so my room contains everything else in the universe.

You still have the same problem though. You can produce a camera in court and reject one of the images, but you still need to prove that the camera wasn’t tampered with and it was the one at the scene of the crime.

How would you prove that the camera itself is real, is the only device with access to the private key and isn’t falsifying it’s video feed?

Was talking to someone about appearances and gay stereotypes.
