Tbh if there’s a musician that deserves this sort of comments, Eno is definitely one of the best candidates.

This has to have some weird ass allegorical meaning.

Maybe the artist just screwed it up, but there’s a snake species that really does have eyes positioned like that, on top of its head. Arabian sand boa:

I get the frustration but it’s still funny.
- Comment on Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act. 1 month ago:
The sort of English you’ll see in literature, newspapers, any remotely formal communication, in grammars (which learning materials are based on as well). The stuff learners will aim to learn.
Differences between US and UK English, and the dialectal variety within each of them, is not all that relevant here. Where I live, students are taught British English, but no professor ever chastised us for using American pronunciation or vocabulary. Both are within the range of what natives will find acceptable.

I’ve read about Euro-English and discussed it back on reddit quite some time ago, and I have to say I’m very skeptical whether such a thing exists or ever could exist. Fundamentally it’s a mis-learned standard English, and the mis-learning is to a large degree determined by the speaker’s native language - which varies extremely across Europe. Slavic speakers will have issues with articles, Germans much less so, etc. Consequently there’s hardly any definite characteristic of Euro-English (the examples in the article are too vaguely described, and I’m sure many European ESLs would find them grammatically unacceptable too). Perhaps one could speak of a variety of English used by EU politicians and institutions, but those people are hardly a linguistic model for the vast majority of other speakers.

The point isn’t so much in which browser you’ll prefer to use at the end of the day (that’s on you as a consumer to decide), but being able to decide which browser to have installed on your PC in the first place.
- Comment on Hey, I'm new to GitHub! 2 months ago:
Same. I learned about the ‘releases’ section only recently thanks to some kind Lemmy user (kinder than some I’ve seen on Lemmy and reddit discussing this same image, some people are openly supporting gatekeeping of software).

How can a website be trendy if nobody could use it until now?
- Comment on 4chan daily challenge sparked deluge of explicit AI Taylor Swift images 2 months ago:
I’ve seen a few in passing. They just look like any other AI “art”/porn.

Do people actually enjoy seeing those pictures? I can sort of understand generating them for shock value, but finding them erotic or pleasing??

No one asked the Chinese natives originally there if they wanted to separate from China.
Ok, but has anyone asked them now?

- Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85 3 months ago:
Initially I uploaded a whole picture to Lemmy, and it didn’t work on other instances. When the other poster warned me of that, I replaced it with a direct link to ibb, and I thought it should work fine, but now you notice not even that works. Again, thanks for notifying me, it’s quite weird, perhaps due to some overzealous filtering on .world, or just a bug on db0…
- Comment on Inventor of NTP protocol that keeps time on billions of devices dies at age 85 3 months ago:
Thanks for the warning! The picture is visible only on db0 for some reason…

Meta downloading these books for AI training seems fairly straight-forward fair use to me.
They pirated the books. Is that not legally relevant?

Russia is not necessarily representative of all European legal systems. E.g. they literally proposed legalising piracy of content made by western companies: ria.ru/20230622/blokirovka-1879702649.html

Uhh what? I’m pretty sure libraries in Europe can’t do that. Do you mean they can photocopy any book they own…?

- Comment on Polls on reactions to Threads 4 months ago:
Your word choice is just bizarre. Nobody would be excluded, they’d only have to make a profile on a different, normal server. And nobody would be “hurt” by not having access to Lemmy’s memes about Linux and similar stuff.
just don’t follow any of them if you’re not interested in any of them
Except that theoretically my “All” feed would still be full of garbage-tier content that people typically expect and post on Meta’s services, and that userbase with its same mindset would eventually spill over into the communities that I do follow too.
- Comment on Polls on reactions to Threads 4 months ago:
Yeah, but they’re separate
They’re literally not.
Threads accounts are closely integrated with Instagram accounts. By default, Threads and Instagram accounts share the same username, profile picture, and display name, although the profile picture and display name can be customized. Users can choose which accounts they follow on Instagram will carry over to Threads, either with the other person’s Threads account already created or set to automatically follow them once an account is created.[36] As of August 2023, if a user decides to terminate their Threads account, they must delete their associated Instagram account as well.[37] Adam Mosseri, the CEO of Instagram, has acknowledged this limitation and stated that they are exploring options for a user to delete only their Threads account.[38]
Users are required to have an Instagram account to use Threads. Threads is a companion app to Instagram, and it uses Instagram to authenticate the user’s identity and connect with their network.[32]
- Comment on Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later. 5 months ago:
If you give it 10 statements, 5 of which are true and 5 of which are false, and ask it to correctly label each statement, and it does so, and then you negate each statement and it correctly labels the negated truth values, there’s more going on than simply “producing words.”
Which part of that ‘more that’s going on’, whatever that actually is, corresponds to the human definition and understanding of truth and falseness?
