He had dirt on a lot of powerful people, and the circumstances around his death were extremely suspicious.

My understanding is they use an off the shelf model, because they can buy a replacement pretty much anywhere.

The fuck is a chaser?

It's a bit more mask on, and there's a few legit communities there, as opposed to Hexbear where the entire instance has a stated goal.

But it's pretty bad.

You guys are pretty proactive about blocking and defederating bad faith instances, or even ones not doing enough to deal with bad actors. You were one of the first to defederate Hexbear, and I think you even defederated world at one point?

Oh, hey Dave. Small world huh?

They've chosen a very confrontational path with the way their instance interacts with others, and as a result they get a lot of push back, which just makes them angrier. I suspect anyone trying to be reasonable on the instance gets accused of not being a true believer as well, so only the angriest remain.

Also, Boost for Lemmy allows you to block an entire instance, it's pretty handy.

Or someone else had the same idea.

Just get a bookshelf poster.

It'll take a few spectacular failures and bankruptcies before people figure out AI isn't quite what's being sold to them, I feel.

This sounds more like a clarification on existing policy, although it is telling they've said it so explicitly.

I do wonder at what point will Russia accept they simply can't win this though? Ukraine is getting more and more advanced weapons systems, and ever increasing quantities of supplies and ammunition, while Russia is running out of everything. What's the end game?

It's pretty impressive if Flork came up with that themselves.

If you have a hard time telling this is satire, you might just be a bit dim.

Something I really hate about drive through ordering, is once you drive up to the kiosk, you're committed, at least if someone comes up behind you. Once you find out the ice cream machine is once again down, it's either drive through and come out empty handed, after waiting behind the car ordering dinner for an entire family, or get something else you don't really want, at a higher cost.

Such a waste of time.

God I hate laugh tracks.

Are these the lyrics from something?

Shlorp Shlorp Shlorp Shlorp Shlorp.

That's so removed

He's in rough shape for mid 70s.
