Can’t wait for dumb investors to get bailed out again can’t have the engines of finance halt woo woo lets go.

why are you defining imperialism as the export of capital and not, idk, the use of force against other nations?

aren’t marxist-leninists supposed to be against all empire?

Under the asumption I am most people, can you give me the definition of socialism you prefer?

Would you like to place bets on the chance of there being a 2028 election? I won’t even ask for 1:100000 odds, I’ll happily accept 1:100

I downvoted, not due to any disagreement towards the politics, but just because the memecraft on display here is abyssmal.

Software costs nothing to copy and paste, only to design.

The term “whale” just implies a big spender, it doesn’t exlude gambling addicts, dumb children or the fiscally irresponsable.

We scrolled through the feed every couple of weeks to check what was being served up.

This is a critical flaw in the studies methodology. ‘loiter time’ is a metric used by algorithms to serve up new content, if the researchers where checking each post for signs of misogyny, then they were probably skipping by totally innocucus stuff whilst paying attention to misogyny. This (being the only feedback given) will have shown the researchers what they wanted to see.

Three months later, The Office, Star Wars, and now The Boys memes continue to punctuate the feed, now interspersed with highly sexist and misogynistic images that have have appeared in the feed without any input from the user.

It’d be good to know the actual ratios, given this was a guardian study there’s no reason to withhold data, nor a secondary source I can go and find the data. It’s possible that Facebook is simply serving up the entire spectrum of posts proportionately to their activity on the internet, or even favouring anti-sexist posts that are just not noticed/mentioned by the guardian.

Does anyone genuinely believe banning this sorta stuff is going to “end violence against women and children in one generation”?

The news of KSP 2’s death has got me playing KSP [1] for the first time in years. It’s still abyssmally optimised, but nonetheless fun as ever!

So far the XCOM series has been pretty good at that. Each game typically has 1 big pack which feels worth the money and 1 or 2 chea[ stinkers there’s no need/push to buy

I suspect the problem is also compounded in fantasy-related prompts. WoW and it’s consequences etc… etc…

Wow, I can’t believe that the transfiguration of jesus was so poorly translated by latin scholars.

Stable diffusion uses gaussian noise to train. When you think about it, boobs aren’t that far off a classic bell curve…

Have you checked to see if any of these lines are actually in the golden ratio?

You don’t need so big a change, there were startups making steam cars for pollution reasons until the invention of the catalytic convertor. (The steady continuous flame of a boiler generating far fewer harmful emissions than the pulsing flame of a diesel or petrol engine)

Sure they’re less efficient, but that’s compensated for somewhat by the lack of a gearbox, as well as the fact that modern steam engines are to 1911 steam engines what modern diesels are to this thing
