That actually has a function. First is as a life sentence usually isn't actually until you die, but you sit x years (usually 20-30) and then can apply for parole and might get it. Multiple sentences can be set to run one after the other, increasing that time - though usually in that case you just get "life without parole".

Another is if you have committed multiple crimes. Even if later they overturn one of them because of new evidence etc, you still have the others left keeping you in prison, instead of having to bring it back to court to figure out if that part was or wasn't enough to give you a life sentence instead of a shorter one.

Specifically, the cybertruck.
Instead they made it so shoddy that it breaks if you take it to a car wash.

Though they can induce another type of driver fatigue - it makes driving boring as heck as you don't need to do anything. I can't use line keep myself as it just makes me really tired and I'll risk falling asleep.

Temu is a handy way of getting cheap AliExpress tat with combined shipping. Otherwise you can end up with 10 tiny packages you have to go get from the post office spread across two weeks.

I agree with all the EU claims though, the site is designed to mislead and hook people who can't filter out all the predatory tactics it utilizes. There are no "deals" or scarcity, nor really any quality control.

Or just in the browser. Whatever app they are using is not following the same markdown as Lemmy, which supports only one level: 10^33^ = 10^33^.

That's what happens to all alternatives at the start, only really the content that isn't suitable for the main platform migrates there. It requires a mass exodus because of something major, like what happened with reddit 3rd party apps or twitter/X & the block change , to get enough regular users there.

Lemmy literally exists because Dessalines, a "long time Marxist-leninist" decided that "Fuck the while supremacist Reddit admins" and made an alternative to host r/communism because reddit is run by an "anti-tankie scum".

The datasets will have enough images of kids in bikinis and underwear from stock photos and clothes shop listings etc to figure that part out rather easily.

The way AI models work, you don't have to train it on the thing you want it to do, you can ask it to combine the things it knows about. Take any of the meme loras for example, like pepe punch or patcha.

So literally any model that can generate pictures of naked adults and clothed children - which is to say almost all of them - is going to be at least somewhat competent in creating CP unless those prompts are being actively censored and blocked.

And your partner uploads those videos to TikTok? Because I'm not saying every video on the internet has to be a nine hour video essay that's going be be watched by five devoted people, I'm saying that an alternative to TikTok, which is what we are discussing about here, can never work if you have to self-host those videos because the entire point of the platform is about making viral content.

Obviously self hosting for personal/limited use works, that's how the internet worked for two decades before all of these platforms even existed. Before Youtube and Imgur and Twitter and Tumblr, I had a magazine subscription that came with a free email address and a hosting service with a whopping 50MB of storage, and that was plenty enough.

Because .io is the top level country code domain for the British Indian Ocean Territory, and once a country ceases to exist, the top level domain is supposed to be phased out according to the IANA rules and eventually discontinued by the ICANN.
There are no .yu, .dd, .cs, or .tp domains left. The only exception I know is .su (soviet union).

It's an Apple device, what did you expect?
The thing even has an external battery pack, and instead of using USB-C so you could use any power bank you already own, they designed a completely new proprietary connector. In 2024.
Who the fuck does that anymore, except Apple?
