- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 1 week ago:
they should have been trying to alert people to it
They would probably end up being criminally prosecuted for leaking the info, and I doubt some rando would be believed this stuff anyway, or even be able to reach any relevant audience. Unless they were a journalist (apparently some knew about it but kept silent), but again, leaking this would be suicidal.
They profited off having good connections in an imperialist state, and the naïve gamblers; dead civilians were irrelevant for the outcome. There’s way too many layers of rot at play for me to find this story in specific to be notably bad.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 1 week ago:
Fair enough.
But I still don’t see the problem with the way the guy won. The actual problems are the gambling website itself and people being stupid/gullible/addicted enough to waste money on it.
- Comment on Insider trading, but make it worse 1 week ago:
What’s sick about that, though? Guy had reliable insider info and made money off a cancerous gambling site. Good for him.

Can you recommend any such patched app for Facebook?

I’m sorry, how the fuck can an app made for men to find other men to get their back blown out be AI first.
AI is pretty good at fucking people in the ass.

Admittedly at this point you probably won’t find much on the official site. Hopefully someone has saved the first version?

Ah, a man of culture! But this one is too greenish, IMO
- Comment on Why is comment section of this video filled with nazis? 3 weeks ago:
Going off QuinnyCoded’s comment, I’d speculate the song is used in some antisemitic meme TikTok video or something similar. Kind of like Little Dark Age getting associated with nazi Hyperborea fantasies.

This one seems to be the closest, unironically. Now my curiosity is satisfied and my soul at peace.
- Comment on What is this colour? 3 weeks ago:
No, it’s the colour of one book I own and it just struck me how I can’t name or describe it.
- Comment on What is this colour? 3 weeks ago:
Lol, is that an actual colour? I’m googling and the results are “mouse’s back”, although that one’s too gray IMO…

- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 4 weeks ago:
LG’s recent software update has forcibly installed Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant, on smart TVs without removal options, sparking widespread user backlash over privacy, bloatware, and loss of control. This highlights growing tensions in smart devices, where monetization often overrides user preferences.
Sure is ironic that the article summary is itself AI-generated.
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 4 weeks ago:
Pretty sure it was Scottish English. Does anyone outside of super rural places actively use Scots anyway?
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 4 weeks ago:
Idk, I recently heard some thick Scottish English and I couldn’t understand literally anything. That might be in part due to the fact that I’m not a native speaker, but still I believe people outside the British isles would struggle with it.
Some of the uniformity is a result of cultural domination of specific centres and now unavoidable loss of original dialectal variation.
- Comment on Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla 5 weeks ago:
start putting up the money to make their support no longer required
There’s no way individual donations from ordinary people could match Google’s. They’re also likely to be less reliable.
Mozilla doesn’t even ask for donations from users a whole lot, and the money they receive mostly doesn’t go into development of the browser:
These funds directly support advocacy campaigns (i.e. asking big tech companies to protect your privacy), research and publications like the *Privacy Not Included buyer’s guide and Internet Health Report, and covers a portion of our annual MozFest gathering.

- Comment on My Religion 5 weeks ago:
That’s what you’d assume, but again in my country this is not a rare situation. Yes, people literally spend years studying to become gynecologists, and then don’t want to do one of the important parts of their job.
Admittedly, it is believed that many of the gynecologists actually do the abortions… in private clinics where they work in along with their job in the public hospital.
- Comment on My Religion 5 weeks ago:
Actually “fuck off” to the above statement as well in many cases. “I’m a gynecologist. My religion says I can’t do an abortion.” Fuck off. Where I live (Croatia) pharmacies can refuse to sell you contraceptive pills if the person on the counter says it disagrees with their religion. Fuck off.
People’s values are never a purely private matter.
- Comment on Lemmy Politics 1 month ago:
Well, db0 isn’t strictly anarchist, I joined because it’s a pro-piracy instance (and also have no essential problems with the other important positions of the instance, i.e. anarchism and being pro-AI). So it’s unavoidable that some non-anarchists join as well. I’ve seen some - but still very few - db0 users who do come off as tankies. Either way even if there was more of them it still makes no sense to me why the above user would find it relevant to shit on db0 in this thread.
