What a stupid fucking statement. There’s not going to be any workers left.

“In what world is JavaScript considered buggier than Flash” if I have to walk you through this then this conversation is over lmao

nah hard disagree. Flash was the core of the web and it got gutted so Apple and Google so leach their 30% cut from their app stores. HTML / JS is still a buggy piece of crap that depends on what the major browser makers declare is valid, no better than adobe had with flash. Flash was the browser in the browser and they hated it.

lmao thanks for the laugh. HTML / JS is still a buggy pile of slop. Apple and Google both dropped support so they could stop Flash from providing app experiences through the browser and forced people into their own app stores. Flash was installed on 99% of computers around the world. It was top tier web and it STILL hasn’t recovered. The current web experience is complete garbage in comparison.

Fuck apple. I’ll never forgive jobs for nuking the internet. When jobs killed Flash in order to herd users into his app store, the internet was never the same.

nah, the pic just reminded me about this fun fact about shelley.

Relax. I do think she wrote the book herself but also took heavy inspiration from Dippel and never credited the story. This would be like someone hanging around Castle Dracula, writing a book called Dracula, and then claiming the story “came to me in a dream”.

It’s not proven but some folks think she wasn’t ahead of her time and stole her story. I wouldn’t believe it myself but it’s sort of hard when she was hanging around “Castle Frankenstein” that was rumored to have a grave robbing scientist that lived there who did experiments to bring creatures back to life…

From a bot: The breakdown of the claims behind this theory includes:The “Mad Scientist” of Castle Frankenstein: Johann Conrad Dippel, an alchemist and physician, was born at Burg Frankenstein (near Darmstadt, Germany) in 1673. Local legends—largely popularized long after Shelley’s time—claimed he practiced grave robbing, boiled bones to create an “elixir of life” (known as Dippel’s Oil), and attempted to transfer souls between corpses.

The Travel Connection: In 1814, Mary Shelley, her step-sister Claire Clairmont, and Percy Bysshe Shelley traveled down the Rhine River. They stopped in Gernsheim, Germany, which is roughly 10 miles away from Castle Frankenstein. This proximity led some pop-historians to theorize that she visited the castle or heard local tales of Dippel from boat captains along the river.

The Lack of Documentation: Mary Shelley’s detailed journals and letters from that 1814 trip make no mention of Castle Frankenstein, Dippel, or local ghost stories. When the travelers ran low on money, they rushed back to England, leaving very little time for unauthorized detours.

Where the Name Came From: Shelley famously stated that the core concept of the novel came to her during a waking dream at Lord Byron’s house in Switzerland during the “Year Without a Summer” (1816), after a late-night ghost-story challenge. As for the name “Frankenstein,” it is a real German surname meaning “stone of the Franks”. Linguistic and literary historians note that it was a striking, gothic-sounding word she likely encountered or naturally synthesized, without needing a specific real-world blueprint. Ultimately, while the parallels between Dippel’s legends and Victor Frankenstein’s fictional misadventures make for a fascinating modern urban legend,

I saw this ruling and fully disagree.

Uh AI steals everyone’s work. How it’s legal I’ll never know.

reddit stinks super bad

25year swe here. If AI disappeared tomorrow I’d “Oh no… anyways” in 2 seconds. AI’s a nice tool, it provides slight value. I’d miss it like I miss auto formatting or integrated terminals in IDEs, not really a big deal.

Knowing our govt, Google will lobby them to ban BiliBili so they can enjoy classic american protectionism. Can’t make it in a free market so just ban / tariff the competition to hell.

i don’t even want to say it but I get ya and no, it was like a term nazis would use when referring to Jewish food. I just think it’s so incredibly fucked up that the youtube’s algorithm was pumping that vid while a million other vids exist. Unreal.

Today I went on shorts and the first video was tucker carlson dropping antisemtic slurs while he cried about ben shapiro. I’m a lib. I don’t watch that garbage. straight up shithole company.

you really think the general pop of the US cares about AI slop??? Maybe on reddit and lemmy they do but like 7% of americans think chocolate milk comes from chocolate cows. That’s the level of stupidity that we’re dealing with here. You think the avg american can even recognize ai slop when they’re looking at it?

Doubt. Not that I like AI but people are fucking morons and could gaf less if they’re consuming AI slop.

this article should read “Millennials are wastes of life who wallow in self pity because they’d rather fuck off on election days and then turn around and cry about it”. We’re literally the largest generation to walk the face of the USA and we can’t even show up to the polls to out vote boomers.

Let’s not forget that they’re literally stealing from anyone who ever made anything in our entire history.

i lost my kitten a few months ago and miss her everyday. I whispered a prayer across the bridge to my Luce and told her to greet your V, show her around, and keep her snuggled up at night until you’re both reunited. From one cat lover to another, thank you for giving V the best life by filling it with love and happiness. Big hugs and much love to you, OP.
