Twitter forcing me to stop using Twitter is an incredible galaxy brain suicide maneuver. I can't wait to see it explode spectacularly in a blaze of stupid right in elon's face

Draegur ,

broke: praying the job will get done by the consensus of several million people.

bespoke: knowing the job will get done by the impact of just a few little bullets.

Draegur ,

Make up excuses, ruin other people's work, take credit for that same work when it survives their meddling, bang hookers and hit ketamine all day, and lie constantly.

Draegur ,

use old.reddit.com allegedly it lets you through if you click a "yes i am 18" button

Draegur ,

IDK man you're the one with "a contact" there :p

Draegur ,

Yeah Bing used to be lagging behind Google on censorship so you could find shit that Google wanted to hide once. Now, it all sucks.

Draegur ,

ISO-8601 FTW

Draegur ,

dd/mm/yyyy is broke
yyyy-mm-dd is B E S P O K E
ISO-8601 FTW

Draegur ,

DD-MM-YYYY itches me wrong the same way as when people tell me their phone number with seven digits AND THEN give me the area code as if I still ONLY have a landline that I ONLY use to place local calls e_e

Draegur ,

how the heck are you supposed to type on this thing. or is it more like "that's the fun part: you don't!"

Draegur ,

"Aren't you a little young to be sysadmins?"

Draegur ,

In the 20th century, the "Roaring Twenties" ended with the great depression.

In the 21st century, we're in the "Screaming Twenties", and I hope it ends with a manic frenzy of plutocrat cannibalism... But I doubt it will have a catchy name or be called "great" by anyone.

Draegur ,

Of course one does not PAY for the gay; it's a fringe benefit.

Draegur ,

Excuse you, I'm driving a rescue mission with my windows UP.

And the AC is BLASTING.

Draegur ,

it's charging my phone

Draegur ,

Even worse when they translate hentai

"Good heavens, I'M ARRIVING!"

Draegur ,

Why would I be inside the shower before the hot water shows up

I turn on the shower at maximum hot, undress, THEN introduce cold back to a comfy temperature and step inside.

Draegur ,

Morality is just as much of an illusion, doesn't mean you should be allowed to smash someone's skull in with a brick. Social constructs and social contract were dreamed up by our species because they work and have utility.

So we better fucking do everything we CAN to sustain the "illusions*.

Draegur ,

It's all good, my irreverent tone didn't come across right

Draegur ,

Yes - AND I like that being a premium subscriber compensates creators I watch EVEN WHEN they are otherwise "demonetized" - like, if they cover news and the news contains upsetting information, YouTube will reduce their ad exposure. But my views still award them as much credit as ever, and count for, like, dozens of ad-supported views under normal circumstances.

Draegur ,

Hell YEAH they should unionize!!!
YouTube has m effectively NO system in place for recourse when their shitty system fucks up and decides to nuke someone's channel -
Such as, when "supporting subject a" is against YouTube policy, a channel may make a video criticizing others who support "subject a", YouTube's stupid algorithm will punish them FOR AGREEING WITH YOUTUBE and never actually manually review their shit when it fucks up.
A union can grab YouTube by the nuts and FORCE THEM TO LISTEN and that is painfully needed.
Unions force power structures to listen to democracy and I like democracy. MORE UNIONS!
the people DOING the fucking work need to be heard!

Draegur ,

Google: You're pirating our content!
Us: AND THE BEATINGS SHALL CONTINUE UNTIL YOU LEARN YOUR FUCKING LESSON.

Draegur ,

"never ever be biased except in these subjects we want you to be biased about, and always be controversial except about these specific concepts about which we demand you represent our opinion and no others"

These fucking chuds don't deserve oxygen.

Draegur ,

what a funny yet amazing sensation in my heart 😵‍💫

Draegur ,

I'm not crushing in any way, really;

I like your posts but they're just the tip of an iceberg and there's no detail I can derive about you other than a vague positive impression of your sense of humor.

...

Actually, maybe I could have crushed on a grown up transfem Tails? But they're a fictional character. And you're a person. Not fictional.

If you gave me a lift to an amusement park i'm not about to conflate you with a roller coaster X3

[crying because i can't pet all the puppygirls intensifies]

Draegur ,

Yissss goodest girl gets bestest pets! Who's the goodest girl? It's YOU! Yes you are!! YES YOU ARE! :D

(not even being sarcastic puppygirls are among the most wholesome and uplifting presences on the entire net)

Draegur ,

real talk the biggest obstacle is the fear that i'll approach wrong and give someone the wrong idea when in actuality literally all it's about is the fact that i love petting puppers ;_;

...

but also this is a reference to an ancient meme that maybe nobody even remembers where a lady posted a video online where she was bursting into tears because she cannot pet every cat living on earth. and no shade on her; it was lovely and wholesome and i relate a TON

Draegur ,

when i see multiple posts that are based as fuck and they all happen to be from the same person, it gives me the lemmy warm fuzzies <3

dang you're cool op

i wish i could find some kinda user-following feature x3 but i don't think lemmy has it (yet???)

Draegur ,

yes this is actually a pivotally important detail

the idiots who made this sub were so fucking cheap, useless, and incompetent that they even opted for what amounts to the 'great value brand' of FUCKING INPUT DEVICES.

Draegur ,

It's a transaction:

Your privacy for access.

Quiet part out loud.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

Draegur ,

so glad i never bought into roku

and i never fucking will

good riddance.

Draegur ,

and in jail each resident will cost tax payers approximately $80,000.00 per year on average.

Draegur ,

going to jail? what a bargain! :D

Draegur ,

"Is that me?"

It is now, sister. Finally: it's you! <3

Draegur ,

we probably need to build it ourselves.

A federated, decentralized system that you can either self-host or join the servers of others, even better if we can offer to donate bandwidth, hosting, and processing power to servers we join in order to distribute the operational strain.

Draegur ,

You live in a universe whose only source of joy, hope, inspiration, and meaning is sapient minds like yours. The entire observable cosmos has so far turned out to be nothing but dead rocks, dead dust, and dead gas, except for beings like you. Your very existence is an act of defiance worthy of pride. Stand tall, sophont. Create the future you wish to see, for YOUR KIND are the only ones who you've met who are capable of bringing it about!

Draegur ,

It works even better when paired with the other deep magicks:

Generosity,
Loyalty, and
Honesty.

If you possess the first four components and catalyze them with Laughter, the ultimate spell shall trigger: Friendship.

Draegur ,

i may not have been wondering but i'm pleased to see that it goes somewhere regardless, even if it's kind of unrelated ^^

Draegur ,

i feel like the mental gymnastics should end with a rake step

Draegur ,

the one reason I joined the instance Lemm.ee was because its mission was to avoid defederating and be the widest firehose nozzle of lemmy content available.

even i would prefer for lemm.ee to defederate threads.

Draegur ,

in terms of communication utility, it's also a very accurate term.

when WE hallucinate, it's because our internal predictive models are flying off the rails filling in the blanks based on assumptions rather than referencing concrete sensory information and generating results that conflict with reality.

when AIs hallucinate, it's due to its predictive model generating results that do not align with reality because it instead flew off the rails presuming what was calculated to be likely to exist rather than referencing positively certain information.

it's the same song, but played on a different instrument.

Draegur ,

you know what, i like that! I like that a lot!
