Don’t bother seeding it, it’s a censored version. I don’t know if the person who made the torrent added the blur or not, but it seems pointless to preserve it like this.

I’m not saying it’s illegal, just that it’s fucking creepy to take pictures of children like that. I know Lemmy is full of old weirdos, but this is just gross.
This is a pretty funny image because the kid looks like they’re 8 and in full uniform, but there’s no way to know their age from this picture. They could be like 14, and a part time job at that age (or a bit younger) isn’t weird.
What’s weird and, frankly, extremely fucked up is some internet weirdo taking creepshots of a minor and posting it on Lemmy. What the fuck is wrong with you, OP? How would you feel if someone was posting pics like this of your kid on the internet?
It’s a Half Life/Alien cross-over
It’s a shame that after all this time, Lemmy’s web UI still sucks. It feels like nothing user-facing has changed since the Reddit exodus first started. Thankfully, third party apps can fill that gap, but most users’ first interaction with Lemmy will be the web UI. Does anyone know why the UI portion moves so slow? Do the maintainers not want contributions, or is it that nobody wants to contribute?
I met a family member’s kid once who would both narrate himself while playing Minecraft, and have full conversations with whatever youtuber he was watching on a second screen (who was also narrating himself playing Minecraft)
I also met an old lady with dementia once who would have full conversations and arguments with people on TV.
I’m not sure if this phenomenon has a name, but it’s something currently afflicting both the silent generation and generation alpha.
I suspect you’re just repeating arguments you’ve heard, so don’t take this internet rage personally, but that is complete bullshit.
Hosting costs nothing. Devs will gladly foot the bill for that if given the option. Even if you distribute your apps on AWS (which is notorious for severely overcharging on egress), your expenses will be no where near 15%-30% of your revenue.
Payment processing is a competitive field outside the appstores. Even 15%-30% is ludicrous when “overpriced” processors like stripe charge 2%-3%
APIs are not something sold to developers. They build them as part of the operating system because they have to. That’s how it works. They could try selling licenses, but it would result in devs not building on their fancy new features.
(you didn’t mention the ones below, but people with your argument usually do, so I’m adding them for completeness)
Security is also bullshit. The Appstore and Play store are FILLED with malware. It is not physically possible to manually review the sheer volume of apps published to those stores. They also are not incentivized to improve the process much, because each time your kid or grandma accidentally activates a $40/week subscription, Apple/Google take a 15%-30% cut.
Curation/promotion is bullshit. Discoverability on these stores has always been bad, but has been particularly awful since both Apple/Google have started selling search ads in the store. The other day I almost accidentally downloaded a fake ChatGPT app because it was the first result when I searched, it had a very similar icon, “ChatGPT” in the name, 5 stars, and millions of downloads.
These stores also heavily incentivize devs to push subscriptions. I suspect (but haven’t confirmed) that the Appstore and Google Play both rank subscription based apps higher than others, and subs tend to pay a lower revshare fee than other monetization types.
I could go on all day about the rotten dumpster fires that are these disgusting stores. The only people who defend them are fanboys and people who have never actually had to deal with them professionally.
Me too! But as a large language model, they are unable to provide counseling services and gave me a number I can call.
This is Lemmy. Everything is capitalism’s fault.
All the disgusting hyoo-mons in this thread sound like they’d allow their feemales to wear clothes.
its stability is described as “some risk”)
I wonder if that just means that Fedora is (almost-but-not-quite) rolling release, and thus is inherently riskier if you need stability? That’s how I interpreted it, but if it’s referring to some kind of Framework-specific issues, then that’s concerning.
I love my Thinkpad (X1 Yoga) and have been a Thinkpad addict for a long time. These frameworks look really good on paper and seem to be doing everything right, but I’m too scared to leave the warm embrace of the red nipple.
“You are not going to take my child,” Rebekah Hubley said. “This is the most ludacris thing I have ever heard in my entire life.”
Wow, seriously. I’m constantly surprised by how low USCIS can go. You’d think they’d want to roll out the red carpet considering the value immigrants can bring to this economy! Border towns complain about immigrants filling up their neighborhoods, but there are tons of area codes that would be happy to take them in. And besides, if you don’t like your neighbors, then move bitch! People like this give southern hospitality a bad name, and a they should get back to fucking goats or whatever it is they were doing before the internet.
So good on you, Rebekah. Most people don’t stand up for themselves, but you’re doing some good shit.
This isn’t quite the full story. The OP is editorialized clickbait. The engineer wasn’t just “criticizing” NC infrastructure, he was testifying in a lawsuit against it, and the defense complained about it to the NC board of examiners for engineers because he did not have a license. The board then sent him a letter saying they were investigating him for practicing engineering without a license.
“Wayne’s troubles began when he agreed to help his son, Kyle, a North Carolina attorney, with a case about a piping system that allegedly flooded a few local homes. In his deposition, Wayne testified truthfully that he was not (and never had been) a licensed engineer. In fact, like the majority of engineers nationwide, Wayne was not required to get a license since he worked for a company under the state’s “industrial exception,’” according to the Institute of Justice.

So it’s still stupid, but it’s not as stupid as the OP is making it out to be (for those sweet sweet clicks).
Python is the best language for tooling and systems stuff. It’s like bash, but good (and portable)

but the habit of overeating is gone
It’s only gone as long as they stay on the drug. Unless they make an effort to change their lifestyle and eating habits while they’re on the drug, nothing will change. For people who have immediate health issues due to their weight, then a drug like that makes sense. But for fat people trying to lose weight, I don’t think it’s sustainable.
I’m fortunate to be of a healthy weight and I’ve never had to worry about obesity. However, I do consciously make choices to eat less even when my body begs me to eat more. I feel like it would be much harder to develop that “skill” if I was on a drug like ozembic. The point is to learn to say “no” when my body is begging me to say “yes”.
I have a family member with a kid about to enter middle school who is very likely going to end up being this guy. We’ve been trying to de-weeb him, but it’s not going great. I think when the ninjutsu sinks its kunai in at such a young age, it’s a lost cause. My only hope now is to just make sure he knows how to run properly.
That’s is what it looks like when a Lemmy user goes super saiyan.
