The kind of person who fingers public food dispensers is exactly the person I would expect to skip hand hygiene.

If we can walk through walls, why don't we fall through the floor?

Downwards

$500 seems pretty fair. It was genuine copyright infringement of a paid product for commercial use.

The "worthless middleman" provides images immediately at a much lower cost then hiring a photographer and a helicopter in another country.

Didn't the song out a bunch of people who went missing on purpose and ruin their lives?

Oh, yea. My bad.

Use a VPN exit point in Singapore

Australia have a social media under 16 ban in place. It is due to that.

Then don't put up ai art. Just put up a text menu.

People in this thread seem to be missing this point.

This is windows server, not windows 11. The consequences is not "I'll have an annoying taskbar icon on my home computer", this is enterprise level interference that could affect large systems and thousands of users.

Linux Mint isn't an alternative to windows server.

It was done. Teletext delivered news, sports results, horoscopes, closed captions, all directly to your TV in real-time. It was quite clever as a pre-internet method to deliver text content to every home.

All the people in the comments here being unaware of this makes me feel old.

"I declare that I am not a citizen of this country!"

Also:
"Give me a passport"

I know the joke is that it sounds like they filmed "on location" on other planets, but "on location" is an industry term for filming away from the studio lot, not that they filmed at the specific location depicted in screen.

Fishburne was very diplomatic when asked for his opinion on the finished Matrix 4: "it was better than I expected, but not as good as I had hoped".

Hugo weaving, the actor for Smith, didn't appear in the film due to alleged scheduling conflicts, but I suspect he took a look at the script and noped out of it.

It's a shame, it could've been good.

As a non American who has visited the US,

It's the creepiest thing when the anthem starts playing and everyone around you turns into zombies, all facing the same direction, all frozen in place. The first time it happened I felt like I was the only human left in an Invasion of the Body Snatchers situation.

Real brainwashed vibes.

Sad story.

That's enough money to have a good life and provide a good life to your loved ones. If he never finds it, he is a crazy man. If he finds it he is a smart man. A normal person can't earn that much in a lifetime. Even a miniscule chance of finding it could drive someone to obsession.

For the sake of his sanity, and for a good story, I hope he finds it, but I doubt he will.

A karma metric would just hasten the decline that happened to Reddit. People liked OG Reddit as a forum to connect with like minded people. The karma situation lead to karma farm tactics with the goal of selling accounts or promoting commercial or political content. The lack of karma will remove a reason for bad actors to do the same here. It also removes the karma motivation for low effort reposts.

Comments should be voted on based on their contribution to the discussion. That's a natural way to guide the conversation in a productive direction.

I would prefer Lemmy et al to stay away from broad appeal BS like celebrity AMAs, and karma thirsty low effort people pleasers. It shouldn't be a place for special events, it should be a place for productive community conversation.

I remember seeing a bit of Oprah on TV and they were talking about changing the toilet roll. She was saying how she recently discovered it only takes 30 seconds to change and her advice to viewers was that you could even change it while you were on the toilet. A fully grown woman was telling the world that she just discovered changing the toilet roll. How out of touch can a person be?

"barely legal" is such a disingenuous attack.

Is it legal? Yes. What's the problem? Something will always be "barely legal". Even if we decide that it's immoral and make it illegal, something else will still always be "barely legal".

If you think something is immoral, then just say so. If a bunch of consenting adults do something that doesn't harm anyone, mind your own business.
