Well played.

With knuckles? lol

Lol, what’s with the hand?

Might want to post to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world or !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world . Prob gonna be (correctly) removed here for being political. Hilarious (and sadly true) though!

Black Mirror. Should. Not. Be. A. Roadmap.

Cunk on Earth also did a similar bit with Beethoven.

Does Charlie Brooker have some kind of enchanted typewriter that can influence the world or something?

If true, that’s like the one thing about them I wouldn’t judge :shrug:. I’ve run more on less hardware than that. lol

Sikso gives him a death glare while Jake would probably tell the joke to Nog first chance he got.

Yeah, I don’t think the lack of a free ethernet port is their biggest obstacle here.

I do that already and have for years…? .doc and .docx work just fine.

Edit: The only issue I’ve had is one place requiring a specific font of all things. Was able to just install a free version of that, and was all set.

My understanding from the articles I read is that the whole platform ran on PHP 5.5, and porting from a version that old to current is no small task.

If they do, hopefully they flock to a single instance which is easily blockable

A deadly blow?

I hope so.

Will a copycat spring up?

History says yes, but if a loving god truly exists, one won’t.

Where are the users going in the meantime?

Hopefully outside.

Does any of this really matter?

Only if they bring their bullshit to the fediverse.

Yeah. We have a decent budget and aren’t opposed to buying software (or, shudder, contracting a vendor), but we always try to seek out an open source solution first.

Get out.

That’s a big part of it for me, too. The other part is that I document things pretty thoroughly, but no one wants to read that. I’d much rather they read the docs I wrote and ask specific questions than expect me to just explain everything from scratch.

Yeah, not sure how long that’ll hold up for me, but for now, so far so good.

The rule-of-thumb used to be “look at the hands”, but I use a combo of focus, lighting, perspective, background objects (especially ones with text), color saturation, common sense (e.g. ‘could this even be remotely real?’), etc. The scary part is if someone would run that through a filter and present it like grainy CCTV footage, all that (minus the common sense part) would be lost and I’d likely be stumped.

This probably isn’t a super-helpful answer, but for the most part, I haven’t needed to use any (yet?). Dunno if it’s just me, but pretty much every AI generated image still just looks “off” and uncanny in a perceptible and slightly off-putting way.

That said, there are occasional false positives depending on the lighting, focus, and filters used for legit photographs. No false negatives yet, though.
