  I’ve been here a while, I prefer this over reddit.

  Sure, niche content is missing, but that’s because it’s niche, and comes with time and a larger group of people on here. Reddit didn’t start out with the niche content either.
  I haven’t noticed the toxicity myself, I’m sure it’s there, but I’m likely privileged not to have noticed it. Or perhaps I’m one of the toxic users, because I’m too leftist for some (though I’m no tankie)

  Surely they wanted to name it Microsoft 365 Copilot Slop, but the CEO was against that.

  Well, I’ll just start calling his company Microslop… Fuck you Nadella

  pretty sure they walked in dirt, and not concrete roads.

  For walking/running you need proper shoes.

  I encourage UK’s government to sit on it and rotate. And Keir Starmer can go do one with rusty barbed wire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actual theft ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The word “zo” has a lot of different meanings. In this case it’s said at the end of a (difficult or long) task as filler word.

  Like “zo, dat is klaar” (that’s (finally) done now), or “zo en dan nu tv kijken” (and now (finally) time to watch tv)
  It doesn’t mean “so” in that case. It’s more similar to “hè hè” in that case. An expression of weariness and/or tiredness. And that’s why I translated it to “finally”. “Now this task is finished, I can finally relax with a beer”.

  I hope this clears things up for you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actual theft ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the literal translation, yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actual theft ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dutch beer brand Amstel had a long running commercial campaign that featured 3 friends enjoying their beer.
  After that campaign ended, competitor Bavaria hired two of three actors and made a commercial with them that looked like them making an Amstel commercial but then ending with Bavaria’s tag line “Zo, nu eerst een Bavaria” (And now finally a Bavaria).

  I’m just thankful that the community isn’t one to make it a nazi bar, even if business daddy wants it to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how I got permabanned on Twitter, before the musk set in.

  Frontex was trying to use pride month to boost their image, just weeks after footage came out of them pushing leaky migrant boats back into sea. They said something like “bullying is never the answer”, to which I responded “No, but pushing people back to drown at sea is, right?”
  That was apparently “hate speech”, and I got permabanned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have the image downloaded, and Imgur’s mods removed it, so I doubt it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically a drawing of a goblin girl in a bikini, and there’s a few accounts whose names start with “ElbowDeepInA…” (it started with “ElbowDeepInAHorse”)

  Sadly the punch didn’t knock any sense in him as Bart Sibrel still believe space is fake, none of the moon landings happened and the earth is flat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Earlier this week a user posted “kill Nazis” and got a warning from Imgur saying that imgur is an inclusive platform, welcome to everyone. (which apparently includes Nazis?)
  That’s what kicked this off (again).

  There was already some upset feelings in the community because at the beginning of the week one of the “Elbow Deep In A” accounts got suspended over a “Gone Mild” drawing of a goblin girl. So it didn’t take much for the community to be really upset with “business daddy”

  The Uncanny Valley hit me in the face directly, when I opened the image. That tie pattern makes no sense, the ring on his finger is at least 4 sizes too small, and the image makes very little sense either, like what would this have looked like originally without the badly shopped in text if it hadn’t been AI slop. Like what part of that sign is that dude on the left staring at? What is the other dude pointing out?

  Meanwhile Renault, also a Stellantis brand, has made 2 Car of the Years back to back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich Is Now Stable!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like a great solution to my current frustration that the autobackup feature of Immich on iOS is so opaque. It only works when the app is open and even then oftentimes you’re just staring at the backup screen while seemingly nothing is happening, despite Immich’s backlog of thousands of photos still needing to be uploaded.

  I wrote the Dutch mnemonic not the actual Dutch word for multiplication etc.

  “Antwoord” is “answer” in Dutch and Afrikaans
