Man speaks to killer from beyond the grave in Arizona courtroom through AI video by illi in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

[-] illi@lemm.ee 89 points 11 months ago

Ok, so his family believed he would forgive, wrote statement for him and made AI make it look like the victim said it. And this is somehow relevant to the court? It's all nice the family thinks this but what has it got with justice?

the pope was an asshole. by illi in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

[-] illi@lemm.ee 152 points 1 year ago

He was probably the best pope in a while. Definitely more open and tolerant than normal.

It's not much to beat the normal here, but it was a step in the right direction if nothing else. Not enough of course, but what could we really expect?

Lemmy Developer removes comment in asklemmy@lemmy.ml for asking Russians if they are being oppressed by their government and if they support the ukraine war. by illi in c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I like it here on lemmy. But people like this being main devs leaves sour taste to it

Threads spotted exploring ads, but says 'no immediate timeline' toward monetization by illi in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] illi@lemm.ee 145 points 2 years ago

They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that's when ads start.

Nick Offerman Slams ‘Homophobic Hate’ Against His ‘The Last of Us’ Episode: ‘It’s Not a Gay Story. It’s a Love Story, You A–hole!’ by illi in c/moviesandtv@lemm.ee

[-] illi@lemm.ee 76 points 2 years ago

Do you also refer to romantic stories between man and a woman (traditionally referred to as "love stories") as "heterosexual stories"?

So if someone doesn't want to get sick for being in a huge crowd, they get arrested? Truly genius.

Can someone ELI5 for me how Piped works? (lemm.ee)

So I mostly transitioned to Piped and ever since I was wondering how it works. I read up on it and while I get what it says, I still don't feel like I really understand...

Does watching on Piped count views and such? (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by illi@lemm.ee to c/piped@feddit.rocks

11 comments fedilink

So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

Anyone has the famous reddit story with the immortal snail? (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by illi@lemm.ee to c/reddit@lemmy.world

40 comments fedilink

There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?

Any alternatives to Google Photos? (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 years ago by illi@lemm.ee to c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

26 comments fedilink

I'm starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there? I'm specifically wondering about a service that would double both as a cloud storage and a gallery with a timeline and such. But currently it's only cloud storage backup (or Instagtam-likes, which is bot something I want) as far as I can tell?

How safe is open source software? What are the general benefits? (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by illi@lemm.ee to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

57 comments fedilink

So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn't it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I'd have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to get my passwords somehow than if I use something not open source? Do I just not understand how software works in general?

And what are other benefits that may be not so obvious to someone not so knowledgable about this?

Edit: thank you all for really insightful answers! Among other things I also learned just how much I don't know :)

I'm having some issues with subscription list view when it wouldn't load for me at all moat of the time, I got "null check operator used on null check value" message with a reload option that doesn't do anything? Anybody else having this issue? Any way to fix? I have two accounts logged in if that makes any difference.
