Agree to misagree. I think it’s a little funny to defend her name and then pull the rug out when describing how it’s appropriating an unexpected culture. I celebrate our differences.
- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 1 day ago:
And unless I’m mistaken Bindi Irwin is Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s daughter. And her name Bindi isn’t culture appropriation of the Indian forehead adornment, it’s a celebration of the Western Australian aboriginal culture (Noongar language) word for “Little Girl” which they appropriated.

Was gonna comment you misspelled SOAP 🧼, but just in case I did a quick joojle and it actually turns out it’s “Android Open Source Project” (for any other newbs like me reading this).

It was common practice over on Reddit, I guess so as not to promote social media accounts and focus on just the lols. Still learning the expectations here on Lemmy. The account is ganef.bsky.social btw.

It is. Unfortunately we live in the satire timeline.

- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 week ago:
However the Battery Saver mode on Androids that only charges the battery up to 80% DOES extend battery life. Substantial evidence shows that a high State of Charge accelerates degradation through: solid electrolyte interphase growth, loss of lithium inventory, and loss of active materials. (See: mdpi.com)

I can’t figure out if I want to call this a AAA studio game or an Indy game. Image
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 2 weeks ago:
The Border Search Exception that allows the searching of non-citizens’ digital contents equally extends to US citizens re-entering the country. Whereas the 4th amendment does protect those within the US regardless of whether they’re here legally or not (source: Wong Sun v. US 1963; INS v. Lopez-Mendoza 1984).
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. My self-critical side used to argue this was constructing an echo chamber for myself. But now I’m realizing that unless I’m going to completely refocus my life on deconstructing the first-past-the-post de facto two-party duopoly then I’m just taking on unnecessary anxiety.
Instead I figure as long as I’m still discussing my political or philosophical values on here those who do wish to pursue politics will have access to the statistics of what their constituents actually want (e.g. via LLMs focusing on political language). Whether we actually get such a leader is another question.

They think I’m just some dumb hick. They said that to me at a dinner.

Tho it defaults to don’t delete, so if it disappeared it’s due to a feature not a bug.

Is imgbb still okay?
- Comment on Flashbacks scenes in Movies/TV should be depicted as being more blurry than present scenes, since most people can't actually remember a past event that accurately. 5 weeks ago:
Or what if a character sustains a head injury and scenes after it are in black and white and scenes before it are in color. I was going to make a joke here but this is Memento.

So Chainsaw Man adds a transmission to his chainsaw?!

Says starts Oct 11th, but as of 7:00 Pacific time watching it via Crunchy Roll’s YouTube channel still requires signing up for a trial membership. 🦜

- Comment on It's depressing, man 1 month ago:
Emotional space is easier to navigate than semantic space, and people are lazy. The best LLMs have parameters in the multiple 100s of billions and they’re not able to parse at a human-level. That’s more neurons than’s in the human brain (~86B). I’m not even sure what my point is, too lazy to keep the thread. I’ma take a nap. You take care.
