Well it wouldn’t make sense without the N there right?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, what the heck is that ‘N’ for anyway? Nicholas?

The trump admin couldn’t be bothered to keep the children and parents together while caging immigrants last time–why would anyone expect him to differentiate the legals from the illegals?

He was still buffering

But they’ll have stragglers just the same as any major social media site. Even though many here have standards they won’t easily abandon, there are scores of people that won’t even know if/when AI started being used on the site or would care enough to leave if they did.

Plus every time we leave a platform we need to find or build a new one. The time it takes to get others to migrate and develop into a worthwhile community is hard to predict and it may not even work out. It sucks social media is such shit anymore, but it seems inevitable that it will remain that way given the landscape of the Internet at this point.

I say this as someone who’s drifted from Fark to Digg to Reddit to Lemmy over the past 20-25 years 🎈 (zero loyalty as well)

They don’t care where the money comes from, and at this point they know there’s no cost to their reputation for doing shit like this either.

Agreed! I was surprised how easy it is to learn the basics, it really does help if you want to get better photos.

Fwiw, the book Understanding Exposure was a nice entrance to photography basics for me… Really helped nail down what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are for…

That’s been my thought the whole time–this is really just a play to get Project 2025 off the ground and Vance is one of “their guys”

It’s so fucking stupid but in this timeline it has to be as mind-numbingly stupid as possible. Attorney General Gaetz anyone? 🤣

Lol no

(I imagine this is the response by the average voter at this point)

So far. I’ll be interested to see if she pens any follow-ups to this tale.

Let them. They need to experience the world they apparently want, and there’s nothing we can do to reverse course at this point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What makes you think they’d possibly do that?

He’s gonna age really gracefully, somehow i can see it already lol

Sounds cool!! Good luck with the project! EMI is one of those things I’d never even consider until i got way into a project like that, then have to reverse course and try a new approach with that in consideration. Gotta learn somehow though, lol!

Holy shit I’m 1000% with you, my jaw dropped when it was confirmed by the report of an inmate being “beaten to the point of full body paralysis” 😶

Nobody can stop him–if that’s his desire, he will have it that way. We’re about to see how eccentric a billionaire can get, we’re probably not even scratching the surface yet. $35 mill seems like chicken scratch though, with his kind of wealth I’d drop $5 billion and see what kind of compound that gets ya lol

Keeps this up and he’ll be an actual contender for a future presidency

Watcha soldering? Anything fun?

Ridiculous
