I asked Midjourney to draw itself. Somewhat similar of a look, though Midjourney seems to think itself a bit godlike. Edit: difficulty uploading from mobile. https://imgur.com/gallery/TETnZqg

Lengthy non-scientific video covering the detection of colliding black holes in 2016. Also, buy their merch.

The problem is you’d have to tear up a shitton of infrastructure to do it because built-up areas have no room to extend road widths safely to accommodate bike lanes. The driver behind that problem (pun intended) is the car culture and lack of public transportation. They can’t get rid of car lanes to hand them over to walking/biking dedicated areas because there’s too many cars and people that rely upon them to get around. There would never be enough people that would vote for or support such a project. Rural areas DGAF and are too poor to build bicycle infrastructure.

It’s not that we can’T be bothered, it’s the usual problem of Americans not wanting to pay for anything that they don’t use themselves or that might inconvenience them even though it’s good to get cars off the roads and keep people safe.

More fees.

Later in the news tomorrow:

“25 million jackpot to be split among 45 individuals who all picked the same numbers. Lottery officials confused as to how this could happen.”

Hm. We have 2 kinds of HMD in our household. “Fit” is not problematic, but it’s profitable marketing.

I know very little about the machinery that makes the fediverse work, so forgive me if this seems ignorant: What’s to prevent a malevolent entity from writing their own version of the fediverse that is compatible with the current version and uses the “EEE” philosophy to essentially take over, grow, and kill (or overwhelm) the ‘verse we all use now?

It’s a lot cheaper to consume the competition before it’s a threat.

Right? The only people that seem to hate on the EU are the ones being prevented from profiting off of it the way they abuse Americans.

Despite the protests, Reddit’s Huffman has persisted in arguing that Reddit is “a living organism, this democratic living organism, created by its users.”

No way can a democratic society last under a corporatocracy which, by default, is essentially a dictatorship. And corporatocracy is exactly what Huffman is pushing.

Y’know, it’s highly hypocritical that the article mentions the reason for the API shutoff is to force users to pay for the content while redditcorp doesn’t pay for the content users generate that reddit wants those same users to pay to access.

“Come on, Cohaagen. You got what you want. Give those people air.”

Yep. Not as busy as r/, but that also means a lot less noise. Really enjoying seeing the old communities reappear in their original or new, fresh forms along with some crazy new stuff that we’ll just have to see if it sticks. Sure, this ‘verse has some frustrations like needing multiple accounts for instances and some minor browsing issues, but otherwise it’s great.

Unfortunately for me I keep getting “problem fetching more posts” on ios. Works great on my desktop, though.

They don’t “need” that much space. It’s ridiculous, a waste, and absolutely done to make you see a “big bag” and buy it over a competitor’s bag. It’s marketing.

Still pretty raw and there’s a lot of things that would need to change if people want a more reddit-app like experience. Reporting posts, collapsing comment chains, nsfw designation, automatic image display opt out, etc.

The platform is gaining users and people are implementing changes frequently, so if it continues to grow I’d expect to see a more familiar set of tools appear.

The BS idea of infinite growth that our financial system revolves around. The stock market and investments all demand endless growth, and that pressure on company quarterly reports drives everything from unbundling, to suppressing wages and benefits, to squeezing users for more money in any way possible- and for us that’s ad revenue to be extracted from our browsers and apps.
