especially when there’s some blue under the cap!

would this be okay?

no need for quotation marks there

it wasn’t satire, it was a warning of what could happen if you mix (at the time) sci-fi technology with human psychology

holograms of celebrities were a thing sure, but they said one liners or pre-recorded phrases. here we are talking about an AI that mimics a person’s speech being put in a hologram that will probably also use AI to mimic behaviours

truly a

situation

hey i saw that before

Be Right Back - Black Mirror… it wasn’t supposed to be a documentary. it wasn’t supposed to be a documentary. it wasn’t supposed to be a documentary it wasn’t supposed to be a documentary it wasn’t supposed to be a documentary it wasn’t supposed-

nope, normal coke and pepsi don’t taste bad for me. it’s just the no sugar versions

whatever they use in diet coke tastes like stomach acid to me

Must a child dream of historical accuracy?

is such an amazing quote, well written

good actions for wrong reasons are… still good actions. you want to hire black actors to pander to minorities? sure, it’ll still help a little child imagine themselves as the hero, and help the actor show their skill. you want to hire a sensitivity consultant because it’ll look good in the credits? please do, at best they’ll really help, at worst they’ll get a free paycheque.

and if a race swapped character acts the same way as they did before? well alright, as long as it’s not completely nonsensical. obviously there are social and cultural differences but the world is vast, plenty of personalities out there.

we become what we do. this inclusiveness might be caused by pandering today, but because it’s being done at all, tomorrow it’ll be the norm

not the best way forward, but better than not moving at all

just type the quotes in numbers and cross off the 1s :)

you’ve been forgiven

ew :(

last time i checked (2024) there was only content aware replace/stretch, and a bunch of those face filters

has that changed?

man, imagine calling people lazy for not wanting to do double the work just so a social media platform has more content

why don’t you start archiving all tech issues from reddit since you have so much free time?

yeah man but when i have an issue i want a solution to that problem, i’m not thinking about the engagement strategies of social media environments

the problem with reddit is that it used to be amazing, and is still the best place to ask questions (though with the number of bots this is slowly becoming less and less true).

i still vividly remember the time when i spent 2 weeks messaging microsoft support that insisted that i need to replace the device i just bought, even though i repeatedly told them the device works fine with a different machine so something must be wrong with my PC. so i got frustrated and asked the same question on reddit, within a few hours someone diagnosed exactly what was wrong, and gave me tips on how to fix it (or well, in that case i needed to walk around the issue rather than fix it)

and even now whenever i look up tech issues the first results that actually have thought behind the words (instead of sponsorships for whatever driver updating software company bought the article) it’s usually on reddit

it’s such a shame it’s been aggressively going down hill, it could’ve truly stayed the front page of the internet for decades. all it had to do was not get worse for the user

how does what that person said imply that?

tf you expected we’re all broke. you’re lucky some of us haven’t heard of piracy yet (somehow)

there are so many links that i’ve clicked expecting to be horny that turned out to be IT server stuff >:|
