If a business can not sustain itself without marketing, then the product is possibly not worth having.

Notiert. Ich werde mich bei der nächsten Gelegenheit noch weiter verbessern.

Um genau zu sein, habe ich das Werk mit dem Gnu Bildmanipulationsprogramm erstellt.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

I jusz think they’re idiots.

There is a petition against this started by a prominent german nature preservation organisation (NABU):

Learning how to murder people on a systematic scale has become trendy again. /s

Next up: highly personalised dynamic pricing by analyzing your bank account, payment behaviour, your age, gender, location, your app and website interaction patterns, the color of your shit, the time spend on digital media and breathing, your credit score, your biometric data, whether you are white or a terrorist, your political voting behaviour, the number of hairs you have, your likely age of death, your medical and mental health history, your probability of being captivated by addictive patterns anf gambling mechanics, and maybe even your game collection, to maximize squeezing each and every last penny of your barely or even non-existent disposable income.

That’s rather optimistic, that she assumes there will still be elections in the near future.

This is almost every horror movie or series.

And now bring artificial neural networks, i.e., AI, into the picture to make it even more spicy.

It was certainly the last one that I voluntarily used.

Does this dog buff stack? If I get 5 dogs, wil? I have a ~100 % immunity for the next ten years? Is there a cooldown? /j

I hope no-one dies and people stop killing each other. Life is too precious for such primitive dumb shit.

If you git gud, a lot of people will find you cunning to let you lingus.

Contributing is such a wonderful way to give back to the community. And isn’t it heartwarming to know that a contribution you have made, regardless how small, is then being integrated into something that is used by dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of people?

That’s a little way to leave a mark on this planet, and possibly improve the life of people.

Git is a software versioning system, originally created by Linus Torvalds, the inventor of Linux. If you ‘git gud’, you have mastered git. If you did not master it and your software stack became a mess as a consequence, you better ‘git out’.

Not using colors in scientific writing is discarding a valuable information channel and therefore inefficient. When you are already limited in the allowed word count, this can speed up conveying information and reduce cognitive strain on readers (and possibly yourself). So it’s a win-win.

This should not end in chaos though, where colours are more confusing than helpful.

The times when we had to print out each and every single page on a crappy black/white office printer are luckily becoming more and more a thing of the past. So even this is no longer a good reason to not use colours.

It’s nice how AI datacenters step by step swallow virtually all available hardware resources to provide digital services to users who won’t be able to use those services due to the lack of available hardware.

if anything the defamation was coming from emopunker, declaring people upvoting the thread […] as ‘the same person’

Fair point.

I am on the fence about the ‘snark comm’ ordeal. I think such communities are – to some degree – meaningful for a critical discourse. Imo, one should be allowed to point out and criticise users, communities, whole instances.

Then again, this should not make someone a target for harassment.

From my pov, it’s a question of balancing interests here: civilised criticism is important and should be allowed. Especially in such public spaces. Denying this due to a hazard of making them a target for people who see this as a ‘call to action’ would suffocate such discussions completely. So I’d address the harassers and sanction them, instead of people who merely point things out they find suspicious, as in this case.

So unless Emopunker directly incited the harassment or did it themselves, I’d lean towards: “yeah, somewhat uncool to throw such accusations in the room without further proof, but that doesn’t make them the culprit”.
