Neato, to privacy in AI Generated CSAM Is Out of Control

Prove it's fake when some of it of your daughter is making it's way around school.

You've missed the point. Fake or not it does damage to people. And eventually it won't be possible to determine if it's real or not.

You're lucky. I watch my wife play save npc moment in conversation is an almost constant bug fest. NPCs love to stagger step away while not facing you while talking.

Neato, to memes in Destigmatize Bankruptcy.
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

...wtf? If a person has declared bankruptsy, sure they can't discharge again but their credit score is so trash they could just ignore creditors. As long as it isn't worth it to take someone to court, they have less incentive to pay.

Well, that's unexpected but I guess CC companies are willing to risk it. Especially if they know that CCs are the only viable option they have and they can offer penalty APRs with little pushback.

Unfortunately bankruptcy has been disempowered strongly. There are quite a few types of non-dischargeable debt like court rulings and student loans in the US. Credit Cards are definitely dischargeable but bankruptcy has also been made as painful as possible for working people.

Credit scores, created in the 80s, are required for any type of borrowing. Bankruptcy effectively denies the filer any type of credit or loans that aren't extremely predatory and costly. You effectively have to live 7 years without credit cards, new student loans, auto loans, mortgage, etc. Which, for many people under water might not be different than they live now, sans the credit cards. But in the absence of easy revolving credit, you may still need to borrow money to avoid eviction or your power being cut. In that case, your main option is going to be payday lenders. A service so corrupt and predatory it'd probably be classified as a criminal enterprise in the past.

Not with this blindfold on you won't. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Neato, to piracy in Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

uBO team (2 people) should not be responding to questions on reddit or elsewhere. They should just update the filters and post a "extension updated, should work again now".

In the end, Youtube will win if they want to win. Google can throw unconscionable amounts of money at their techs to fight the adblockers while the volunteers spend their attention and patience.

Neato, to news in 'Trump Bucks’ promise wealth for MAGA loyalty. Some lose thousands.
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

Yeah. I don't expect to use USD in the middle of nowhere France or Germany when Euros exist. The exchange rate doesn't really matter: the store isn't equipped to take that currency.

Neato, to memes in Did it hurt? 🙄
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

That's a good result. No blaring alarm. Now when you wake up 1hr before the alarm and can't get back to sleep: yes that hurts.

Neato, to starwarsmemes in Anon tells you about The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

The Jedi Code is so weird. It allows slavery? Why didn't Qui Gon just cut Watto in half after the race and take Ani's mom with them?

If you think ableist pejoratives targeting neurodivergences and metal impairments are only present on social media, you need to touch some fucking grass. That shit hasn't been OK in decades. South Park even did an apologetic episode on it more than a decade ago which means the discussion was mainstream. And you should 100% not be taking social cues from that show.

Someone knowing using hurtful, bigoted language and claiming they didn't "mean it like that" is asinine and disingenuous. Using deliberately incorrect terminology nearly everyone will misinterpret and then complaining when they do is placing yourself upon a cross. It's a pathetic level of discourse usually outgrown by middle school.

@Neato@kbin.social avatar

I’m just not down for constantly keeping up to date with the treadmill of what words are and arent appropriate

Then be prepared for people to rightly call you a bigot. Sorry you're done learning, grandpa but the world keeps turning.

And the fact that you now know better and still choose to hurt ableist language just means you're embracing your bigotry.

Your experience is not absolute. It's still abelist and offensive.

Neato, to science_memes in Double-slit
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

No. Can't. The only interaction sensors have is with particles. Photons usually. All things give off light but then measuring light itself, measuring is destructive.
