I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet.

Explain how this is disingenuous though.

I had downloaded the full (no pictures) Wikipedia earlier this year for exactly this reason. This thread told me about kiwix, which is awesome, so I downloaded the “Wikipedia .08” using kiwix, which is the best 45,000 articles from Wikipedia with pictures and it’s 7G, very manageable, has most topics anyone would care about.

I mean, this is really probably the best use I can think of for AI slop, let’s give credit where it is due.

Same here. I made sure I quit all the drama subs, all the big subs and I only keep my carefully curated niche content communities in my reddit feed. There’s really nothing on Lemmy about, say… Elite Dangerous, so I still browse it to keep up on what’s new.

What I don’t do is engage. Reddit is too full of bots and too full of itself to be of any usefulness in engagement. I can’t help them, they can’t help me, there’s no point in doing anything but reading on Reddit.

Lemmy, on the other hand, is almost all engagement, because without it there’s not much else, unless you like memes, which I do. Talking to people here is rewarding and interesting, the exact opposite of reddit, which delights in doing nothing but shitting on your head and being generally insufferable/boring.

I want to believe.

Just a guess, but I figure Isreal must want their asset back. What do you suppose Mossad has on Trump? Surely not nothing, he had to be the easiest of marks back in the day.

Old school. Also the flip side:

“They have been radicalized by Democrat Party rhetoric that describes anyone who doesn’t share their warped and twisted world view as fascists, worthy by implication of execution,” Miller said.

Dude incites violence against Democrats eight times in one sentence and what’s the sentence ostensibly about? Democrats inciting violence.

It’s stunning how these guys are able to remain on point 24/7. Like that AZ moron who ends every Twitter post with “Democrats hate America.” No, it’s just you, dumbass.

Sick and twisted is what it is. Or as some might say, “fascist.”

Mr. Lovenstein would like a word with this guy.

Another reason why billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Yeah OK, we can talk about that, sure. The point remains. Comedy won’t do that either.

Comedy will not keep me from going bankrupt from medical debt, create a robust middle class or for that matter, produce the Epstein files.

Also, comedy is subjective. As an example, I don’t think it’s funny, I think it’s fucking dumb. Third rate 4-chan trolling shit is only mildly amusing when coming from a fourth grader, it’s absolutely retarded coming from the octogenarian president of the United States.

Just to add, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act repealed Carter’s Mental Health Systems Act - effectively defunding community based health organizations that would support those tossed out of institutions and onto the street. Reagan and Republicans more generally just didn’t give a shit what happened to these people as long as it didn’t cost them any money and that is largely why the homeless situation is where it is today.

It also should not be forgotten that shortly after this, Rush Limbaugh began a decades-long campaign against the homeless on his radio show, constantly demonizing them and attempting to paint homelessness as a choice made exclusively by addicts and the societally worthless.

Another special gifts religious idiot. Sky daddy’s angel babies talk to me on the regular and we’re being poisoned from the sky by dark forces, but it’s everybody else’s brains that have been swept away.

Every day I get up and browse the news and I essentially get called a retard by people like this dipshit. It’s demoralizing, ngl.

CSS isn’t a programming language. Programming languages are logical, follow sensible rules and provide consistent output.

Ironic that the only way to get a government to put the screws to billionaires and their shit platforms is to threaten the hegemony of the party that used the very same platforms to ratfuck their way to the top.

You can tell it’s legit, because it says Vi.

You laugh, but it’s worse than you might think.
