Nothing, OP just needed to shit on it because it’s not linux

You underestimate the news cycle hitting regular folk who so far didn’t know alternatives existed to twitter.

Maybe I am too european but I have seen two people lose to Trump and one overwhelming win against him and only one of those had a penis.

My favorite lemmy bubble is the smug woke ( idiot leftists, who think they are smart but aren’t) who think Kamala lost because she didn’t take a stance on Gaza and people abstained in protest and not because of sexism and racism.

I am pretty sure Apple went to court multiple times defending the users data. And refusing to hand it over to the fbi for example.

This is what happens when someone can’t put themselves into their user’s shoes and then wonder why a product isn’t doing as well as it is.

They proclaim the product is great, it’s everyone else that’s the problem

The duty to vote in Belgium belongs to all adult Belgians. EU citizens can vote in European and municipal elections. Other foreigners have local voting rights when they have lived in the country for more than five years. Attendance is compulsory for Belgians in Belgium, not doing so results in a fine, 3 fines equals the loss of civil rights.

It can be done, but I was also part of an election oversight or whatever committee, we counted votes and stuff. One of the things we did was we took a vote urn to the local retirement home and well I witnessed what happened when voting is mandatory. In the past It was mandatory in our country as it was part of the eastern bloc and this man just took the first paper, not even reading which party he voted for and just put it in the envelope and voted that way.

So there are definitely downsides to trying to encourage voting too.

Because any sort of goodwill attempt to eliminate people from voting will just increase the chance of it being abused by said nazis, well fascists, because nazis were the fascists from germany.

Also fun fact, like many things IQ tests have a history rooted in racism, so if your plan was to use that then bad luck.

Fun fact number #2 the likes of Trump, Orbán (HUN), Fico (SVK) almost always win because of a low voter turnout.

The previous US election had what, 20 million more voters and surprise surprise, Trump lost.

Extremists are always a passionate vocal minority the more you restrict who can vote the easier time they have to take over the election.

If anything suggesting fines for not voting is a far less dumb idea than the shit you just said.

There is only really Noel Deyzel from social media as a positive role model

But, Trump got less votes than in 2020 didjnt he? This theory doesn’t hold up, there wasnt some surprising mass turn put by the republicans democrats didn’t turn up to vote and there are two big reasosns for that, woman and poc.

Idiots who fall for Elon Musks genius persona and think they are smart also fall for crypto scams? Shocking I tell you, shocking

to me it doesn’t matter tbh, as long as the 24th is somewhere monday-wednesday, that means days off that week, we get 24,25,26 off.

It is literally happening this year.

24th is Tuesday. 1st of January is Wednesday and as a bonus Jan 6 is also a holiday in my country and that’s Monday.

So from dec 22 to jan 6 i can be home by using just 6 days off

A joke about shitty developers.

Are you a software developer ? Because you are way out of touch with what users want.

move along then

In my laic opinion no criteria for fair use is fulfilled here, so it would be really hard to argue that it would set some harsher precedent that exists, in real life proving someone wanted what looks like something else will be hard to prove as they would need either the exact prompt and then prove what the author meant by that point, IANAL but AFAIK proving what someone was thinking when entered the prompt will be pretty difficult or it will have to be something obvious like “make it a slightly different version of that iconic blade runner picture”

Here the court will have documents showing that they tried to get permission to use the picture when denied they used something that’s essentially the same thing while also livestreaming themselves mentioning what they are ripping off, so it’s a much different case to some random person generating a similar picture.

This to me is very close to the Kanye New Slaves case, feel free to listen to it then go on youtube and checkout “gyöngyhajú lány” while you will find that kanyes version is slightly different, he entirely ripped the song off, then tried get permission afterwards, which he didn’t get and had to settle for undisclosed millions.

But the fact that this is AI generated has nothing to do with anything, if you ask for the rights of an image from someone they deny you, then you mention the original image multiple times to promote your product using a hand drawn near copy you will be also in trouble, because what you are doing is rather clear to see and rather easy to prove you know you are in the wrong.

So you saying that anything AI generated that is similar to something else will get sued for copyright infringement makes no sense, unless you can already do that for hand drawn images.

I think the movie is quite explicit about the why, just not overt, they mention the president dismantling the FBI, i believe drone striking US citizens, Jesse Plemons character is clearly acting by the racist status quo.
