Yeah the whole process of trying to deal with facebooks customer service has been annoying to say the least lol.

Glad other people also seem to think having it locked is a good enough solution

Lol probably more effort and money than the zero amount I’m looking to put into it

It’s locked so I would have to verify it in order to do any kind of resetting passwords and stuff. Which requires uploading photo id and a video of my face. I don’t really want to do all that, so I’m hoping that it being locked is enough to keep it from being used by hackers.

I honestly just stopped using it so long ago & hadn’t even thought about the account until my sister told me it got hacked. I don’t care about having access to it, I just want it to be effectively useless lol

I tried but they would want me to verify it first & thats a whole process that requires sending them a photo of my lisence and a video of me. I don’t really want to do all that lol

Thus me hoping that it being locked is good enough

Mesh networks have been made using ham radios! It’s not ready for the general public since you need a ham operators lisence & their range is limited by line of sight. But if you own a large property, you can network your own space using the tech. It’s also a good back up in the case of a large scale infrastructure disruption.

Heres a link :)

I hope you know you’re a gift to humanity 🤣

Yes sir, thank you sir. And this one is bailey’s, and this one is bailey’s a bit bigger, and this one is about as close as you can get to baileys without gettin’ your eyes wet.

What a treasure trove of deep sea anus jokes I didn’t realize I needed in my life lmao

Do you ever think about how confused far future archeologists will be when they dig up old museums with all these fossils from wildly varying time periods?

Would they infer that it must have been some museum? Will they think those life forms coexisted? Will they blame it on aliens? Will they be capable of reading the engraved plaques if those survive in the wreckage?

Would a monstrosity like the one pictured above confuse them?

Super cool. I can’t imagine having to explain what happened to the lab manager after burning through the lab floor and a few feet of gravel and sand below lol

But what about the stoned geology guys? the stoned stone lovers, the geology ganjis, the crystal cannabis connoisseurs, the rock lovin rockers, the dabbing dirt collectors?

Super interesting compound. I wish somehow I could watch footage of strengs experiments. I bet some of those explosions would be really cool in slow mo lol

It worked for me lol.

It’s the one where he’s leaned forward really far (bent at the waist with his butt out) talking into a bunch of mics. Likely to keep his suit from having unflattering lines in the front.

Yeah! Thats definetly a step in the right direction. Programs like that will help ease the transition towards a new system as technology continues advancing.

Now we just need more countries/people to jump on board lol

I see where youre comming from & also think its important to support artists I like, and I do. I think both AI and artists can coexist & serve different purposes.

Something like this, using AI for a banner, is using a tool for people to create something they couldnt/wouldnt before. It doesnt mean I’m not going to buy a cool print or painting from an artist I like.

& I think its cool to have something that aggregates information and makes it accesible and easy to work with for the masses. Its messed up that it is currently controlled by corporate interests, but there are also people working on FOSS ai. Its this kind of snapshot of humanity in its current state, that I think goes beyond any particular artist/writer/person.

I get being worried about it taking jobs, but I think new ones will spring up to take their place.

(Or really optimistically maybe well see some sort of radical change that will make the concept of ‘earning a living’ obsolete, like UBI or something)

Edited to add: as a writer, people who buy my writing wouldnt just use ai to replace me. If anything it can supplement my work by making it easier for fans to make fanart & help build hype around the universe and characters that I created.

Yo db dont let these haters get you down. I think it looks like a really cool project and love the idea of a shifting banner than anyone can contribute prompts to. I also love the idea of backgroud details being influenced by various metrics of the community.

AI is a tool (just like photoshop, electric lawn mowers, and combustion engines). Anyone who thinks its replacing artists are really underestimating the editing needed to produce something good from AI generators. And this is comming from a writer who loves how much AI has helped with various parts of the process.

Giant group texts. One has over 30 people, mostly used for baby/marriage announcements. Then a bunch of other group texts for different social groups (stoners, siblings, camping, etc).

I think its that many people didnt really leave reddit, some migrated to lemmy, some to discord, some to other small sites, and some just quit that style of website.

Lemmy definitely is still pretty small, but i think its growing pretty well (i remember checking it out years ago and it being a super tiny niche site). It takes time for things to set up & for users to get comfortable and grow communities they care about. Organic growth is slow.

Of course :) might as well try and be helpful
