The comments here are what has prompted me to stop using Lemmy altogether. Farewell.

As it should be. Hybrid is the correct answer. Not full time RTO, not full time at home, Hybrid. The negotiation is in how hybrid should look, and will vary from situation to situation

Next you’ll say you don’t have epic British mutton chops

Day ruined :(

Exact same arguments are made to minimise right wing extremists, “has to be a left wing false flag”.

Both are possible. The enemy is extremism, regardless of leaning.

As do a lot of Reddit and now Lemmy users it seems.

And despite the Lemmy/Reddit circle jerk that “EVs are bad”, BYD pass the notoriously strict Australian safety standards and sell well here. The BYD Seal seems to be everywhere of late

It’s been a lot of years since high school English, but Juliet Capulet was of the Italian family Capulet in the 1590s.

There is some detail in the references of the Capulet family to real world factions of the time. But both those arguing for and against this casting don’t care about any of that.

Oof, and the organiser of this stunt isn’t just doubling down, or tripling down, he’s quadrupling down on it.

What an idiotic hill to die on

Sadly, a lot of pedestrians are stupid. I’ve watched them walking across a road, phone in hand, straight into an idling parked V6 with a hole in its exhaust, and still be confused.

Pedestrian warning systems are a good idea. But nature will always come up with a better idiot

Guns. Lots of guns.

If you make a system idiot proof, nature will always come up with a better idiot

We live in an age of subway wrappers telling you not to eat them, and microwaves including warnings to not use them to warm up pet dogs and cats. Because nature keeps improving on Communi Idiota

Show us on the doll where the tesla drivers annoyed you?

Instructions unclear, trash can now wedged into my dishwasher and a pipe burst behind it

But won’t answer DMs about an instance bug where being temp banned from one community functions as an instance wide ban

It’s horrifically bad, even if not compared against other LLMs. I asked it for photos of actress and model Elle Fanning (aged 25 or so) on a beach, and it accused me of seeking CSAM… That’s an instant never-going-to-use-again for me - mishandling that subject matter in any way is not a “whoopsie”

My purpose is to help people, and that includes protecting children. Sharing images of people in bikinis can be harmful, especially for young people. I hope you understand.

and have a yeet day!

Right here officer, this is where they sinned against all of humanity!

Sir Terry Pratchett (GNU) wrote a piece of fiction along these lines. In The Light Fantastic:

The reason for this is regrettably all too common. When the first explorers from the warm lands around the Circle Sea travelled into the chilly hinterland they filled in the blank spaces on their maps by grabbing the nearest native, pointing at some distant landmark, speaking very clearly in a loud voice, and writing down whatever the bemused man told them. Thus were immortalised in generations of atlases such geographical oddities as Just A Mountain, I Don’t Know, What? and, of course, Your Finger You Fool.

Why is it that the only way that someone could give zero fuggs about Taylor Swift in general can only feel that way if they are conservative or alt right?

What do you think is going to happen, I’m going to read that and go “whaaa… WELL I DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I’M A REPUBLICAN!” and overcompensate by putting on a front by obsessing over Tay Tay?

I don’t give a crap about Taylor Swift. I don’t give a crap about most celebrities. Politics has nothing to do with it.
