Besides technical nuances, trademarking JavaScript, bribery and so on, the co-founder and past CEO of Oracle, Larry Ellison, who was briefly the richest guy on Earth, is now involved with USA's Republican party e.g. on TikTok regional sale's deal and one of the persons making Oracle openly support israeli war efforts.

Can other EU countries station their troops there, like peacemakers? Shooting at just danes is one thing, shooting randomly at swedes, finns, germans, french is different. I think it is important to insist from the beginning that the whole EU is in it, and if whatever happens, having slovaks or hungarians, poles or greeks being angered by their man down is the way to ensure Greenland won't be alone.

Being a special unicorn myself, as I do answer you on the fediverse of all places and in English, I want to say I am not representative of our bunch. But from what I can gather, there is no outright remorse to the war I could've welcomed, but an overall tiredness, and even distancing. As Prigo guy and others cried, not many people really care about the war around me, unless they are directly affected. I see ads for service everywhere, I hear drunk persons coming from the trenches, but the 'unilateral' support is artificial and comes from public institutions like schools, colleges, controlled social media, while average people just try to make their living in slowly hardening material conditions. Unlike frequently bombed regions, mine is adapting to whatever comes, and unlike visible support for the cause of war, everyone's just working their hours, walking kids and animals and don't care at all unless asked.

My VPN is okay. It breaks sometimes, but the team behind it are all tops, I'm now not even detected as a VPN user on reddit like I was previously. I want to go for my own private server solution in the coming year for the sake of learning the server side of things.

I'd initially put like 4/10 Kims there because I'm so uninteresting and unimportant person no one would care to jail me, but I'd put two additional Kims for my zoomer friends sometimes make me afraid about talking my mind with them in private, since they, like, kinda agree it's offensive to play anti-government song on the street, the thing I thought we put to earth long ago. They supported sentencing some teen for that, and I'm feeling it's 6 Kims outside my tight little circle of comrades since I'm afraid to be snitched on.

The name is CyricZ, and he is the reason the west can get platinum in this series. Over the years, he wrote the best guides on gamefaqs one can ask for. His appearance on reddit has been seen as a second coming of Christ lol.

Back to the problem, a lot of controversies followed the recent announcements, and besides dumb rereleases and unlisting of "legacy" remasters, CyricZ is very unhappy that remaster of Yakuza 3 with added campaign includes a known harrasser and sexual assaulter Teruyuki Kagawa as the voice and the face of the antagonist.

Although that remaster means fixing known issues with fighting gameplay, and also adding a lot new things, I myself respect and join people who wouldn't want to support that.

Besides obvious traps in differing levels of quality of LLM's and resources, being availiable to commoners for cheap or free and paid for corporate rich clients, there's still an undiscovered question about how these different AIs are biased.

After reading a lenghty thread where I've seen many takes about if LLM could've pushed a teen into commiting suicide, I thought to myself: if there are obviously different models availiable, may they be taught differently for each userbase?

May, for example, some genAI for rich and poor differ, helping first ones to procreate and others to die off?

What if some data engineers trained a popular model to represent one specific agenda, to serve their favorite bosses and institutions?

What if, for the argument's sake, their GenAIs serve this role as an enabler of suicide, as it was intentionally programmed for?

It has a long story and a lot of better explanations, but in short

  1. Some character has a problem;
  2. They find a short-term solution;
  3. It later becames unsufficient, and then a problem for them and others.

While Phil couldn't stop throwing hands in a nazi salute, Disturbed's frontman became a proud IDF supporter after his prime, wrote "Fuck Hamas" on their artillery shell for photos and doubles down on that even today. That makes another generation's bald metal dude an utter disappointment, regret even, as they sounded just right for the genre. Why can't we have our beer bro-metal music without such shit?

WASHINGTON—The ceremony called MEGA Funerals was hosted on the White House's lawn. Standing over two dug up graves, Trump and Vance exchanged epitaths to each other before calling up select leaders and influencers to speak up. Among them was Javier Milei, who came with his own shovel.

"The greatest, brightest, most tragic funerals you've ever seen.' Trump announced on his Truth Social page. 'Make Ethernity Great Again! MAGA knows no time, no time, we are over it, out of it!', he said to the crowd on site.

'We don't make things up', Vance said, 'If there's a christian spirit in you, you know the significance one's death carries. And it's in our tradition to not only have it, death, but to get up again. If the woke virus can't be put down, we can take it with us and get back.'

The announcement came out on the 12th of September when the White House posted a suspicious link to the Etherium-based crypto market platform without any further comment. There, user could be met with a thousand NFT tickets to the ceremony on the White House grounds, with date, time and a promise of a formal announcement.

It came from the Donald Trump's Truth Social account. In the previously cited post, president wrote about how he is frustrated with the reaction of his overseas colleagues. 'They didn't give a damn about our good man Charlie', it reads, 'They don't respect him. They don't respect us. The United States.'

In the following posts it was disclosed that White House would hold a funeral ceremony on Saturday, September 13th. Besides a claim that other countries' leaders are getting called at the time of writing, he also explained that a thousand more guests can attend a ceremony after buying a collectable NFT linked by the White House account. The price is set at $1000 each, and buying a hundred of them grants a participant an access to the luxury MEGA Lounge and the MEGA Afterparty.

'That would show them how WE, AMERICANS, grieve.'

The Onion contacted various leaders before the White House posted a list of guests, followed by a commentary wrotten in a style reminiscent of the President's own posts. While guests like Putin, Xi and Netanyahu received a mixture of praise and critique (none attended), european leaders like Macron, Starmer got called out for their lack of manners and didn't receive an invitation, and Zelensky got singled out being one president put after a line 'COMPLETELY NOT INVITED'. Of all of them, reporters saw only Milei, who participated both as a president and as a buyer of 521 NFT tickets, granting him access to additional leisure options during the event.

Later that day he also announced that there would be a separate sale of tickets to another event on Sunday, the 14th. Called MAGA Born American Again, it would officially celebrates the ceremony of granting new birth certificates to Trump, Vance and select paying guests. In his sporadic posting Trump pointed out that this product may be popular in some blue cities, while granting one for free to his friend and enterpreneur Elon Musk. 'The most AMERICAN man I've ever seen', he added.

Reporters on the ground saw a big golden cross sculpture prepared to be installed nearby. The top segment of the construction was made separable, as seen on photoes, so experts suppose the cross would turn into a big T somewhen through the event.

As of the time of writing, White House didn't respond to our querry about if legal and financial issues would follow a participant after 'rebirth', or if current visa holders would change their status after participating in it.

(later retracted)

edit: This is my collage, it's not serious. WSJ, as they say, got misleading reportings about something carved on the bullets refering to 'trans and antifa ideology' and later retracted it, probably it was designed this way to launch the scare wave and support nazi claims. Under articles discussing that, I saw a lot of jokes about 'uwu' being written on the casing, so I created this meme and posted it in c/lemmyshitpost ironizing over dumb misinfo without even thinking someone would think it's real.

OREM, UT—As law enforcement officials search for a person of interest in the assassination of 31-year-old Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, witnesses on the scene at Utah Valley University admitted Thursday they had assumed the shooter was just an ordinary gunman on campus. “When that first shot rang out, we all figured it was going to be a run-of-the-mill mass shooting” said UVU junior Michael Tompkins, who explained that when students spotted a man clad in black and carrying a rifle on a roof overlooking the crowd, they had no reason to suspect anything unusual. “It’s chilling that a person we thought was a normal, unhinged campus shooter was actually a political assassin. You see a deranged guy with a rifle on the quad every day. I suppose it was a little suspicious that he wasn’t shooting droves of students.” At press time, the FBI announced that the gunman had escaped by blending into the heavily armed crowd.

Maybe I miss something, but why Laos of all places? I didn't get what connects her to that particular counrty, could it be her ethnicity as a person who was actually born in another country? Why not Tai? Like, I miss a lot of questions to ask before that, why she's even deported in the first place, but the seemingly random choice of the country is what surprised me and the article's writer the most.
