can’t do anything but read input and write output for actions
but it can do more. they gave it a shell to put commands into. Therefore acting out more than just inputting and outputting text
- Comment on How are you dealing with the UK's Online Safety Act, that comes into effect this March? 3 weeks ago:
intended target and possible target are different things.
The law, as it exists, targets any and all communities with “a significant number of United Kingdom users”. There is no minimum size requirement.
It might be possible that the law turns a blind eye on smaller communities. But it might not. They are in their right to go against a 20 user fediverse instance the same way as they are against facebook
- Comment on How are you dealing with the UK's Online Safety Act, that comes into effect this March? 3 weeks ago:
that’s the thing. You don’t have to be a company or resident of the UK.
If you have a community (classic forum, lemmy, masto etc) that caters to a “significant part” to UK users, you are target of the act.
And depending on where you live, extraditions to the UK for criminal charges exist.
Will anyone bother doing that? We’ll see

- Comment on How Star Trek: Lower Decks Managed To Get Enterprise’s Jolene Blalock To Appear, And Why She’s Only Credited By Her First Name 3 weeks ago:
She didn’t tell me why, but she was like, ‘I would prefer just to be Jolene in this,’ and we were happy to do it.
The creator couldn’t shed light on why the request was made, but confirmed they honored it, and that’s why Blalock is known simply as “Jolene” in the Star Trek: Lower Decks credits

- Comment on Judge Rejects Sale of Infowars to The Onion 1 month ago:
Problem is why did that auction even happen or rather was allowed if it was technically now allowed for a bankrupcy case?
Feels like intentional so they can go “well, we don’t like the winner. time to revoke it”
- Comment on Judge Rejects Sale of Infowars to The Onion 1 month ago:
Judge Lopez said that the bankruptcy auction failed to maximize the amount of money that the sale of Infowars should provide to Mr. Jones’s creditors, including the Sandy Hook families, in part because the bids were submitted in secret.
“It seemed doomed almost from the moment they decided to go to a sealed bid,” Judge Lopez said. “Nobody knows what anybody else is bidding,” he added.
So the problem is that it didn’t maximise the potential income for the bankrupcy case?
Shouldn’t that be a “oh well, sucks. but a sale is a sale” problem?

But solar roadways were idiotic the moment they were announced. And people with the background knowledge said as much. Idiots just didn’t want to listed and wanked to the hype
