If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.
Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.
Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.
It also demonstrates how much AI companies mislead the public on what their products can do. If a guy is selling lawnmowers that actually just generate grass clippings without mowing the lawn, you’re not an idiot for thinking it was going to mow grass.
I can’t qwhite put my finger on what the difference is 🤔
California is full of people who are Mexican immigrants and people who have lived here since it was Mexico. ‘Stop waving Mexican flags after Mexican Americans and Latinos in general were kidnapped off the street’ is stupid and every minute spent focusing on making protestors protest in a way which will satisfy everyone—which, what do you know, just happens to be a fool’s errand that will result in support from nobody—is a minute you could have been telling ICE and the LAPD to fuck off instead.
Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.
Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.
I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.
Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.
Oh gosh, I hear you on the swimming! I’m a trans guy and my first swim post-top surgery was so much fun. It was way too cold for me to be in that pool and I didn’t give a shit. I hope you have a blast at your body of water of choice!
I like to imagine they were just found in random shoes over the day that people lost/forgot. Someone gets to Vegas and goes ah, fuck, I lost my coke shoe!
What non-sexytimes related thing are you most excited to do once you recover more?
Maxine Waters has been down here and having her entry to the ICE facility barred. If others have been involved I haven’t heard of it.
The situation might be a little more urgent than who can win a 5 year long lawsuit. That’s like trying to deal with a house fire by filing insurance paperwork. Yeah, it needs to be done, but it’s hardly the only or most pressing thing to do.
All the comments from all cross posts on a single page is great. You can also add your own user flair like you could on Reddit, which lemmy doesn’t support. I haven’t messed with it much yet, but the ability to make lists of communities into feeds also seems really useful.
If using AI to make ‘art’ (have a machine regurgitate other people’s art, the ones available right now literally can’t exist without other people’s art that it was trained on without permission, you don’t get to just skip this part because it annoys you) makes you an artist, then so does paying someone to make art and telling them how to make it. And walking into a restaurant and ordering something also makes you a chef. Paying to have someone build your house? You better believe that makes you an architect, carpenter, plumber, and electrician.
Reacting to an illegal occupation of the state you govern is not the part where some party involved is jumping straight into civil war! If you would like to know which one is doing that, the context clues are in the first 5 words of the sentence.
Maybe you should when the National Guard is illegally occupying your state? If not now, when?
Expecting Trump to play ball and use California as anything but a whipping boy is a pipe dream.
Fucking LAPD buzzing them with a helicopter. If you check Flightradar you can see the (news?) helicopters also there are following local regulations to not fly below 1000 feet in urban areas. Meanwhile the LAPD is dipping down to 700 feet.
Edit: new low of 525 feet
I just logged on to post this and was pleased to see it at the top of my feed o7
IANAD, but according to my doctor the PT (on your own at home) is permanent. 😩 I keep thinking it’s a lie and I’ll be fine skipping it if I’m active, and then wind up on another round of prednisone so that I can actually walk.
Not to discourage you, the PT definitely gets less painful! And if they say you don’t have to keep it up then I’d listen to them. But basically don’t be me and think you can cheat on PT after finishing in person appointments, lol.
Holy shit! At least it was past the 6 week mark I guess?! I can’t imagine it felt great, though! Thank god my cat was good and stayed off my chest, even if she didn’t understand why she suddenly wasn’t allowed on.
