- Comment on Gina Rinehart demands National Gallery of Australia remove her portrait 5 months ago:
And I demand her portrait to be replaced by a funny portrait of a way cooler Aussie. Like esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie. Or Bluey.
It’s a win-win.
- Comment on Recognize the mother of Wifi 6 months ago:
It goes to show that being a good actress doesn’t mean that you can’t also be good at tech, even if you don’t like to to brag about it.
- Comment on Announcing lemmy-ui-next, an alternative Lemmy frontend built with NextJS! 7 months ago:
I like how snappy it is.
Have you talked with the main Lemmy devs about maybe adopting this as a full replacement for the current lemmy-ui when it gets more feature complete but before the Leptos frontend is done?
- Comment on Someone in props in getting fired for that 11 months ago:
I don’t know about that, I could be a dog on the Internet.
Also, that’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!
- Comment on Someone in props in getting fired for that 11 months ago:
Wow, it’s almost as if actors are people who does modern people things, like having lunch breaks at work.
Somebody on Lemmy actually seriously told me that I would never eat fast food, as if we’re a different species or something.
- Comment on every damn time ... 11 months ago:
In general, drunk me is the last person I would ever trust with literally anything.
It’s like waking up in the morning and reading your own drunk text messages.

If they only appreciate me enough to hand me my Oscar this year…

Instagram had slowly morphed from a website to share artsy filtered cell photos to an advertisement platform, where people are turning themselves into characters living the perfectly imperfect life on social media, in an attempt to turn themselves into living advertisements, to buy and sell products, Every photo (especially the natural looking ones) is carefully shot, curated and edited by a team to imitate authenticity, no different than shooting a movie or a TV show.
So then, what happens if that role of a living advertisment can automated by machines, equally as heartless and unrealistic as these performance of perfect daily lives on Instagram? Why go through the efforts, the hours and manpower, to conduct the photoshoots and Photoshops for that one perfectly imperfect targeted post, when anyone with a modern GPU can effortlessly make thousands of machine generated pictures with way less work in the same timeframe?
Why should the role of “social media influencer” even exist then?
I’ve been unhappy about the state of social media for a long time now. But as it appears, the role of the social media influencer, as the lowest common denominator of photography, will be the first to be rendered redundant by AI automation, which brings me hope that in time, social media can be brought back to what originally was: a place for people to talk to people.
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
A bit of mistake I made there, I should say that the freezing point is relatively unaffected by pressure compared to the boiling point, and the amount of dissolved impurities are going to have a greater effect.
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
Boiling point of water varies based on atmospheric pressure, water boils at a lower temperature high up in the mountains, for example, which could be why the estimated human body temperature is set as a standard, because it is consistent to reproduce as long as there are people around.
The freezing point of water is not affected by atmospheric pressure, however, it is affected by dissolved material in the water. Using a saturate solution of a salt would establish that consistency as well as lower the freezing point to create a bigger temperature range.
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
I think it’s because 96 is divisible by 3.
- Comment on AAAAtoms 11 months ago:
Fahrenheit was not an entirely arbitrary choice: it was defined based on two points of reference that could be measured at the time: the freezing temperature of an ammonium chloride brine is used as 0, and the best estimate for the average human body temperature is set at 96.
Over time, as the freezing point and boiling point of water at sea level atmospheric pressure proves to be more accurate reference points, the Fahrenheit scale was adjusted to provide exact conversion to Celsius.

Great episode.

It’s always the one you least suspect, like disguising yourself as an impersonation of yourself. Image
- Comment on Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ 1 year ago:
It’s a pretty bad idea to fire the majority of your employees if you want them to basically recreate Stripe (not just PayPal/Venmo) and somehow mush it into Twitter.
Also, that market is saturated, most banks and credit unions in the US already supports Zelle, and Venmo, CashApp, and PayPal are very estabished tech financial players in this space.
Again, if there ever was a possibility of an American WeChat equivalent to be built, the only one who ever had a chance to build it was Zuckerberg more than a decade ago, during the very short time period when the general population was adopting Facebook, but the old Facebook users have not started migrating off it. Trying to build WeChat in the US in 2023 is foolish at best.

inspire you seek out or create another piece of art to love (and potentially share with others)
I think we did a pretty good job on that recently. :)
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
Unless a certain someone you know never stops reminding you that he was in thoses movies…
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
Using the correct pronouns is an issue of respecting others, and seeing Rowling doubling down on her smug and bigoted views in public is a revelation, because during a re-read, you start seeing these views reflecting everywhere in her writing. It’s a deeply prejudiced and irrational world, and it stayed that way all the way to the ending with nothing in that world really changed.
I think being an adult is realizing that I don’t love Harry Potter as much as I used to, because (I can’t believe I’m saying this) I’ve finally outgrown it. It’s time to move on.
Being a grown-up is painful.

You should probably not listen to the opinion of anyone who pays Elon Musk 8 dollars a month for an emoji.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
Have you watched the ending of that movie? Refusing to participate in a broken system is always an option.
If you would like to support your favorite creators, buying their merchandise or donating to them would be far more effective.

Yay
- Comment on Weezer straight up writing ads for audible.com 1 year ago:
Celebrities shamelessly selling out and publicly writing blatant repetitive advertisement? How could they do such a thing?
Anyways, that movie, now also available on streaming services!
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
I’m not cheap, I’m frugal, there is a difference.
Paying Google for them to stop shoving ads in my face doesn’t feel like a good purchase and I don’t want to support that kind of behavior, and I’m smart enough to use uBlock Origin and ReVanced (Little bit of a struggle though.)
It’s more about principle than anything else.

Oh no, Doctor Toboggan, I’m not ready for 8 on-screen kids… yet.
- Comment on This war shows just how broken social media has become — The global town square is in ruins 1 year ago:
Global town square? If anything, social media in the modern age is like Time Square: dirty, overcrowded, covered in billboard ads for brands, filled with cartoon characters in costumes and CD hawkers who are only there to take your money, and of course, the people shouting their political agendas at you through megaphones.

That reminds me, I used to think getting that haircut would make me look all cool and badass.
I really don’t know what I was thinking.

I want to talk to your manager… about workers’ rights!
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
I don’t really know how people can even use YouTube without ad blockers. Sitting through minutes of advertisement is not going to make me want to buy your product if I start mentally associating your product with frustration and annoyance. If these video ads are going to be repetitive and annoying, at least make them funny.
It seems like there is nowhere on the Internet to get away from ads currently, even here, where you thought you are safe, you are now reading an ad for my newest movie (you know the one), now also available on streaming!
