Fascism

The botox cheeks make it worse.

Assume everything coming out of a fascist regime is made up.

Hollywood is already dead.

Even before getting into the slop part…
Most movies aren’t even made from a creative vision standpoint anymore.
Big corps churns the most generic, reheated, boring things that are expected to be safe bets from an investor’s perspective.
Then they put that thing no one cares about through a focus group process, which will effectively eliminate anything out of the ordinary baseline, to create the most average-feeling thing possible.

Slop is also already here anyway, whether it’s AI or not.
I swear, I’d rather listen to some random kid imagining a story on the spot than whatever garbage workflow ended up making Disney’s “Wish” slop movie.

foyuka wasn’t even banned, they deleted themselves.
Which is annoying in itself but nothing mod related as the post implies.

Here’s my very lousy non-AI take on this.

Honestly, I’m just a number, but I kinda wish my pharmacist and I knew each other better.

Coming soon:
Fortran code from 1969 that has been vibe coded since.

Literally the plot of Back To The Future

Eat beets.
Forget you ate beets.
Peek.
Slightly panic for the fraction of a second before you remember you ate beets.

Honestly, the job closest to being actual Santa is delivery people, except without the sketchy omnipresent surveillance putting-people-in-lists part.

It was also crossposted to !hackernews@lemmy.bestiver.se which is still up, but not sure if it’ll hasn’t federated to blahaj’s piefed.
Anyway, here’s the crosspost’s link: https://lemmy.bestiver.se/post/813593
Might work if you search for it from your instance.

Idk, maybe that’s considered a blogpost and not an article ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe popular among users but somehow not popular among devs?

Ah yea that too!
Sometimes you can kinda get there by hitting the End key, sometimes you need to open the DevTools to get to their About page or change the language or whatever option they put below the endless scroll.

I like chunkier scrollbars. Fuck the tiny disappearing scrollbars where you need to mouse over… somewhere… to maybe be graced with its presence, only for it to be 1px wide for some reason.
Also fuck the endless scroll, especially when you already know what you’re looking for is on page 4 because you had to reload the page for some reason but the infinite scroll didn’t save your position and you have to go down (without an actual scrollbar) only to “load more” 3 times until you’re (maybe) on page 4.

No, I downvoted the 5-12 posts that were placed in front of me because they were submitted within hours of each other and therefore were shown sequentially.

FWIW, You’ve downvoted 432 posts from PugJesus so far (as seen from SJW anyway, there’s probably more that never made it here).
I don’t particularly care either way, but at some point, might wanna do yourself a favor and just block them altogether.
Either way, there shouldn’t be much surprise at being removed from his shit (to you) communities.

It’s not forbidden, but also don’t act surprised when whoever you’re downvoting excludes you from their community, which shouldn’t be a big loss to begin with.

One could always curate their own feed instead.

Maybe… “there is no such thing as bad publicity” ?

It is itself hyperbole and it’s by no means absolute, but yea plenty of times where bad publicity is still publicity.
