That’s bollocks, their first album was 2000

Edit: just checked, actually their first album was 1999. Although what they have to do with 50 shades of grey…

You’re doing the lord’s work

Yes, I think this a more compelling take

It’s not the same joke because, it’s a more honest attempt to imagine a plausible scenario in which unconscious prejudice may manifest. Apache attack helicopter is obviously absurd. AI sentience is just very unlikely something that is not currently a prejudice we find ourselves exposed to and may speculate we’d end up being adverse to

Yeah, jeez, that sort of mechanophic language should be illegal

I like that song. Perhaps a perfect encapsulation of some specific part of the 60s mythos. I can only speculate.

Ignoring capitalisation you can add as many buffalos as you like and still be parsable. I’ve only ever heard buffalo used as a verb in this one context, though, so seems a bit forced to me

Legal authorities operating in the host country will not be thrilled if you have an instance filled with csam, and all sane users will also want to be heavily distanced from it. The latter applies to any content widely deemed objectionable, not just to illegal material - which makes the motive for moderation pretty reasonable IMO. If the moderation for a instance doesn’t suit the users, users and communities are free to move to an instance that better suits them, and this does happen. It’s a strength of the fediverse.

I do see why you’re saying that, but a server without admins would rapidly become a breeding ground for entirely illegal discussions, and it would be at least defederated pretty rapidly

This is the most excellent summary of Go I have ever read. I agree with everything you’ve said, although as a fan of Scala and in particular its asynchronous programming ecosystem (cats for me, but I’ll forgive those who prefer the walled garden of zio) I would also add that, whilst its async model with go routines is generally pretty easy to use, it can shit the bed on some highly-concurrent workloads and fail to schedule stuff in time that it really should’ve, and because it’s such a mother-knows-best language there’s fuck all you can do to give higher priority to the threads that you happen to know need more TLC

Am Newcastle. Can confirm.

Ufghh I know but omg I’m not one of nature’s posters. I was on Reddit for like 5 years before I even made my first comment. I dunno if I have it in me. That’s probably one of the reasons I’m so loath to complain about content - like, what right have I?

Yeah I agree 100% with this sentiment. Every so often - say, every 20 posts or so - there’s something that’s actually uplifting. But most of it is just political wank, as you say. Or one was ‘Israel finally allows some food into Gaza’ which tbqh I don’t find uplifting so much as absolutely sickening because it reminds me of how absolutely awful the context for it is.

Still, not gonna unsub because Lemmy is too small for me to be that picky 😅

Even there you need some basic critical thinking. Wildly impossible figures (e.g a human height of 1.84cm) should not be slavishly and blindly transcribe, y’know?

Name just one job where critical thinking isn’t important

I thought that Sam Ryder one was fun!

I’m still bitter about cha cha cha

Lot of people boycotted it because of their inclusion, which kinda pumps their numbers. Wouldn’t have seen myself rooting for Austria to beat Israel when I was younger, lol, but here we are

Yeah fair

God is just a coping mechanism tho’? Absolutely no way, even if God existed, that there’s also an afterlife. Absolute insanity
