On the one hand we can reduce traffic and the time people need to waste traveling to and from work. On the other hand, this guy can’t keep track of his co-workers whose work has nothing to do with him.
all the team is in Paris and he’s not. They don’t give a fuck what he says.
That’s a leadership problem, not a remote work problem. You handle it remotely the same way you would in person.
Okay, but the original post is how Grok is taking pictures of children and removing their clothes. That’s not cartoons and not fictional people, so I don’t know why the conversation is being shifted this far away from the actual issue at hand here.
The issue with child porn is how you specify victim. One could argue easily available pornographic images of fake children increases the market and desire for pornographic images of real children and as such can result in more victims. Especially if someone can argue that images of real victims are “fake and AI generated.”
In regards to X and Grok however, my understanding is it is taking images of real children and producing naked images of those children. So there are real victims and Tim Sweeny is saying that shouldn’t be censored.
Making porn of actual people without their consent regardless of age is not a thought crime. For children, that’s obviously fucked up. For adults it’s directly impacting their reputation. It’s not a victimless crime.
That is also drawing a certain arrangement of lines and colours, and an example of “free speech” that you don’t think should be absolute.
It’s a negligible cost. Evidenced by the fact that despite a significant number of “new users” just collecting the free games and not spending any money, EGS continues to give away free games.
Clearly padding the number of users is worth it to them more than the ‘cost’ of those users claiming a free license on their account. Otherwise they would stop doing it.
You’re still being an “active user” that they can use to pad their numbers and entice investors.
If you want to hurt Epic the best way to do it is to not log into their system at all.
Epic pays a flat rate to make the game free, not per download.
Yar me hearty 🏴☠️
Borderlands 3 launching as an Epic exclusive saved me from making the mistake of purchasing it. By the time is was available elsewhere reviews were pretty universal on it not being worthwhile.
And when you went to investors you would just tell them you’ve increased your customers by 170% and leave out the part that they aren’t buying anything. You might try to make more money from investors than you’re losing in free books.
The developers get paid a flat rate for allowing their game to be free, not per download. You are not sending the developer any money and allowing epic to inflate their user numbers (up 167% !!!) to investors.
If it looks like a slop and sounds like a slop…
if others click the downvote button on my posts/comments, nothing happens at all as far as I know.
I think it shares the downvotes within that instance (possibly with other instances that allow downvoting) so anyone else viewing the post from the same instance as the user who downvoted will still see it and their browser will use that when sorting the posts.
Sometimes I miss old forums where content was brought back up by simply posting within the topic
That’s how forums on Steam work and it makes them almost useless. The only posts you see are the rage bait from people farming Steam points from ‘Clown’ awards. Any meaningful post doesn’t get the same engagement as people trying to ‘slam the trolls into submission’ (FFS, how do people still not know you don’t feed the trolls?) so it gets pushed under all the bullshit.
Lemmy’s system is good because there is no account wide total, so it really doesn’t matter if one of your posts gets a lot of upvotes and another gets a lot of downvotes, it just means one was good and other wasn’t.
… And then you get people who really want some kind of account wide total for some reason so they go to websites that total up the number of times a user has given upvotes and downvotes…
Excellent time for the Japanese to drop ideogram/logogram system and have an alphabet like a functional language.
“All I said is that the Japanese do not have a functional language. I don’t understand where people think I was being derogatory about a specific race.”
I did not mention an ethnicity. I mentioned you, specifically.
I think ideograms suck because they are an extremely bad writing system, and imperial units suck because they are an extremely bad measurement system
And I think you suck because you are an extremely bad person.
Equivalent statement right?
Why am I still here?
the lemmy hivemind
A big way Lemmy defers from Reddit: people who unironicly use the word “hive mind” are not to be taken seriously and you can just ignore them.
Is there an alternative to Google maps that has traffic updates? I want to avoid Google where possible, but last week Google maps warned me about an accident on the highway and saved me being stuck in it for hours.
