I primarily read horror, so this doesn’t affect me. I can’t remember a single novel I’ve read, even when it’s from a different genre, where the book world is more desirable than the actual world.

Bleak stories with substance are soothing.

List a fucking source.

Gotta keep saying it until people stop using his photos for memes.

I would think that it would only apply to AI generated images, but I suppose it would depend on the community. In this comm in particular in which all the posts are images it shouldn’t be too tricky to define. As the technology advances it might eventually be impossible to spot them, though…

Lemmy users seem to overwhelmingly despise AI slop, which makes me wonder why my more communities don’t have rules against it. I would love to be able to report it and have it removed.

You’re both right. Capitalism accelerates climate change but so does the outrageous electricity requirements of LLMs.

I live in Washington and every single campsite in this state has an illegal fire pit. Even the sites above 3500 feet elevation where fires are always illegal have them.

People are selfish assholes and just don’t care about anyone else. Risking burning down the entire state is worth it to them so they can have their stupid fire in the woods. It’s only a matter of time before it all burns down, and when it does, it will be started by some asshole with an illegal bonfire.

Bullshit. It’s painfully obvious that this was either written by a dog person or is using a tired stereotype to get clicks and make an easy joke.

I usually like Pizzacake.

People seem to have forgotten (perhaps deliberately in the case of tankies) that when Russia first invaded Ukraine and still thought they would win in three days, they started digging mass graves. That Z symbol they carry on their tanks is a symbol of ethnic cleansing. They want to replace the Ukrainian people with Russians.

Absolutely! Alltrails just added AI which means I need a new trail app.

Well, what else are we supposed to do? Our hands are tied. I live in the Seattle metro and for some insane reason we don’t have a single retail option for graphics cards. I wasn’t able to get one off Newegg on launch day before they were all gone to bots, so my only option was eBay.

I hate enabling scalpers but it was either that or risk paying 47’s stupid fucking tariffs. I had a narrow window to skip the tariffs upcharge and I took it. I would rather pay the extra $200 to an asshole scalper than to the federal government so they can spend it on their gestapo.

It’s funnier if you look at it as a single photo rather than two.

Charging him? With what? Giving out pieces of plastic with straps is illegal?

Edit: alleged conspiracy to aid and abet civil disorder. What a joke. They aren’t even trying to make this look legit.

Huh. They said they were done with subclass expansions. At least as an engineer main I’ll get another shot at a subclass I don’t hate after the abomination that is mechanist.

Fingers crossed engineers get a staff/casting subclass.

Is this intended for cars to replace Google Maps? Is there a trail version for backpacking? Looks nice!

I knew that, but I thought the “Big Beautiful Bill” (what a stupid fucking name. Typing that out makes me hate myself a little) was a regular bill, not a budget reconciliation.

The ending of the sequel fucked me up for weeks. Absolutely brutal.

Soooooo does this mean they’re filibustering it? Are they not being useless for the first time in… well, a long fucking time?
