I definitely noticed that it’s pretty seamlessly replaced Reddit for me at this point. It’s been a decent source of stuff to read and there’s enough of it now that I don’t feel like I’m just seeing the same thing repeatedly.

I like reading articles and discussions, so it’s nice to be able to have that without propping up some big toxic company.

Uhh, don’t think it’s the propaganda that’s perpetuating the war. That’d be the invasion.

Found the Russian sympathizer though.

I’ve more paid attention to Ukranians’ accounts of events than major media coverage. Lots of pictures of really old tanks being dragged away by farm equipment and other extremely dated supplies being found. If this is anyone’s propaganda it’s Ukraine’s, in which case I’m happy to participate.

Nobody said it hasn’t been hellish for Ukraine, or that it hasn’t been a hard fight. Even if they were equipped with entirely WW2-era supplies, an invasion is an invasion, and by all accounts this has been a particularly cruel and brutal invasion.

I really don’t care at all about being fair to Russian engineers at the moment.

I don’t think most countries are using first aid kits from the 70s.

Took me a second to realize this isn’t about elephants.

Is that like a robot infant Arnold?

Why do you expect the Russian space program to be using new equipment after the antique show of an invasion in Ukraine?

Actually, it has nothing to do with human creators at all. It means that AI can’t hold a copyright. But the person who wrote the article would have to actually be able to comprehend court documents to understand that, so here we are.

Talk about an inaccurate headline. The conclusion here isn’t that AI art can’t be copyrighted, it’s that AI cannot be a copyright holder. But it’s AI, so we can’t actually expect anyone to pull their head out of their ass and give it enough thought to write an article that isn’t garbage.

Instead we have yet another thread about this case in which no one actually has any idea what the ruling was. Very informative.

What Nebula really needs is some content that isn’t just people talking about stuff. I can appreciate a video essay now and then, but it’s the whole platform. I have a subscription right now, really only because of Philosophytube, but I can’t really find anything I’m that interested in watching.

It really needs some like sketch comedy, tech reviews, dumb little videos of people out doing stuff, or like, cats sitting on roombas. Cater to something other than wanting to listen to people blather their opinions all day.

Nice, where do I get my $5k?

I found that it does well with actual full on spam in the form of unsolicited mass mails. If there’s anything I’ve subscribed to, it does just dump it into the inbox until I tell it to do otherwise. So mostly decent. I feel like it might be benefiting from their spam sorting but not from the promotional tag.

I forwarded all my gmail addresses to proton recently. I’m very pleased! It works a lot better than gmail-to-gmail forwarding and the UI is purple! Purple!!

Apparently the group heads on the Smeg machines are particularly sturdy, and tend to get fewer gasket leaks as they wear. Which is good, because the last thing you need while you’re trying to have your morning espresso is some bleeding Smeg head getting in your way.

I’ll see myself out the airlock.

One could say the same of the ambient air in much of Canada lately, but I don’t think pouring ink on the trees would better the situation.

There’s no way the ink doesn’t make them even worse. I’ve always loved Canada’s over the top approach to visually discouraging smoking by hijacking half the pack with a picture. My favorite when I smoked cigarettes was the one with the kids giving you a judgemental look.

Given the numbers in this article, though, I’m not sure how well it’s working.

If it was just Musk, it would be a lot easier to chalk up to one idiot. But with so many idiots acting in concert? That sounds like somebody’s in their ears. Probably without them realizing it.

I honestly can’t tell if it’s just a collective expiration date for a culture of wealthy incompetence, or if someone’s been manipulating powerful idiots, but it almost feels like there’s a coordinated effort to stir an abandonment of corporate platforms.

Ragebait with no article access. Shoo off back to corpo media, we don’t want none.

Just because it’s a technique doesn’t mean it isn’t social engineering.
