I just realized something: When I search for something in Lemmy and get zero results, I sometimes go to Reddit and search there.

It would probably be better to make a new post in Lemmy about the thing I’m searching for. It would add content to Lemmy, and the content would be newer and fresher than the Reddit results that are sometimes 10+ years old.

Sure, I understand the moral arguments, but it’s very common to have legal consequences when taking something that doesn’t belong to you — regardless of morals.

Of course it would be morally better to give everyone permission to take the bananas. It sounds like that hasn’t happened though, so it seems very simple to understand that there would be legal consequences for taking them.

How is this not obvious? Did I miss some critical detail?

I never thought I’d ever defend UK laws, but if you take something that doesn’t belong to you, isn’t it generally frowned upon in most parts of the world? This seems pretty normal to me

Whoa, I didn’t know Visual Basic is still around. I remember using VB6, many years ago

I assumed it’s probably due to some creators becoming, or later being discovered as, “problematic” and/or some sort of brand risk. It would look more strange to unlist a few of them, so better to unlist all of them.

To be clear: This is speculation based on zero information 🙃. Just a total guess based on how things tend to go between internet culture and corporations. I’m probably wrong. It would be cool if YouTube would communicate things like this.

It’s unfortunate to see such cultural history hidden away. Though, tbh, this is probably the most that I’ve ever thought about YouTube Rewind, and I haven’t thought about it in many years.

How would that be easier?

Unless I missed something, it seems like the crows are doing it voluntarily. Is that not the case?

I can read some of it. The text on the front of his jacket says “tsingtao”. Hope this helps!

She was a child… But what does that have to do with spaghetti anyway?

🤔 I understand this more like “Don’t practice the religion as a way to show off. Don’t make a YouTube/TikTok/whatever video giving a homeless man $100. Just give the guy $100 and STFU about it. Also, stop posting prayers in comment sections on social media; it seems fake, and you make the rest of us look silly too.”

I’m not a bible guy though, so idk

I’m still kinda surprised to hear that people are still having trouble with Nvidia drivers. I would have thought that Nvidia would have decided to improve that because of the AI boom. I wonder why they continue being so bad at this 🤔

Yeah, good point. Owners of Samsung “smart” refrigerators started seeing ads on them recently.

I’m sure there was some sort of legal terms that users had to agree to to enable that, but it still feels like a scam. Some amount of those fridge owners would not have bought the fridge if they knew there would be ads on it at any point in time.

I wish companies would at least offer a “no data collecting/selling” price option. Like, how much would they make from selling my data? Just give me the option to pay that extra amount so I can buy a vacuum without thinking about how it’s spying on me.

Well yeah, it’s a fridge with a spacious screen and an Internet connection in the 2020s. Of course they’d capitalize on all that advertising real-estate. And of course they’d wait until after people have had them for a while. They’re unsurprisingly shameless.

I’d be curious to know what kind of data it’s collecting to optimize those ads.

My phone recently offered to summarize a text message for me. I’m talking about SMS, the messaging system that already has a character limit.

Also, when I last checked the weather in my area, there was an AI summary. It was an entire sentence or two, and offered zero additional details over what was already visually indicated by the raincloud icon and the number representing the temperature.

I’m looking forward to installing GrapheneOS when their support for my phone stabilizes.

I mean places that don’t care about any laws at all. Places that might only be accessible on the dark web, etc. There’s terrible stuff out there

🤔 I’m not sure that lawmakers really understand what they’re up against. If most VPN locations all eventually require government ID for porn, then some people will likely seek porn from places/networks that are… Less legitimate.

Maybe we’ll consider electing someone who isn’t a senior citizen, next time. Three terms of the two oldest presidents in US history seems like enough.

Why would it be implemented for those places, but not implemented in any of the other conflicts in the last 50 years?

That raises more questions than it answers 😅 I appreciate the effort though.

I run NixOS on a few servers. I remember there being some controversy around them accepting contributions (either money or code — my memory of it is a little fuzzy) from some company that’s part of the military industrial complex. Is Framework worse than that?
