If you run out of items to view on Lemmy, you can always go out and, like, engage with family, or hobbies, or grass-touching…

Lemmy is like every social medium since the dawn of time: a cross-section of humanity… the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Try to find an instance that’s local to your country or region.

Truth.

That site only lists Lemmy instances and communities, with several filtering options. It’s not a search engine for Lemmy content.

I have to wonder whether Musk knew Meta had the trademark, and intentionally used it in order to rile them up.

… Nah, that would require actual planning on his part.

Age 30?

Pfft. Amateur.

And completely ignored the crowdsourced contributions in favor of the Most. Generic. Logo. Ever.

I mean, if you look at it and squint hard, it kind of looks like a bird in flight with its wings spread? But hardly immediately recognizable, much less iconic.

I want to know, what are “tweets” and “tweeting” going to be relabeled as?

I can just see conversations like:

“Dude, did you see the latest X from Eminem?” “Yeah, I re-X’d it to all my buds!”

Ark Survival Evolved. Been playing it through two GPU-only and one full-PC upgrade. So satisfying to see the game situations which used to send FPS into the single digits, now stay above 60 FPS at all times. (Yes, the game is that horribly optimized.)

I recently saw a TV commercial for Little Caesars Pizza, where they’re now offering a limited-edition pineapple-flavored Pepsi as part of a meal deal. That way, you can have your pineapple flavor without necessarily pissing off the “no pineapple on pizza” purists among those you’re sharing the pizza with.

Whether anyone will like pineapple-flavored Pepsi is up for debate.

I remember how, years ago, an AI was asked to write a script for a Batman comic book, given a bunch of real comic issues as its learning input. The resulting script was horribly stilted, and hilarious to read. It was popular enough that an artist turned it into an actual comic book.

Today’s AIs have come a long way.

Edit: just out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT to “write a Batman comic book script, with The Joker as the villain”. That’s it. No other input.

What came out was far less stilted than the one mentioned above, but bare-bones, extremely generic, and boring. The real Batman writers have little to fear at the moment.
