What’s she going for?
Whatever she wants because the UAE welcomes wealth and excessive spending, that’s kind of its whole thing (that and human rights violations). The idea that visiting Dubai is precedented by an interest in history is not grounded in reality. If Dubai was concerned about anything other than excess wealth, why do they keep building things like the burj khalifa and an indoor snow ski slope?
Ignore this, I really misunderstood the comment
Nothing good happens there.
This is incredibly dismissive of two entire countries and cultures. I suspect it’s based out of ignorance or preconceived notions rather than any actual experience or knowledge
“Amoral” 🤣 Like Dubai has any business judging morals
Ignore me, the point went “whoosh” over my head
I think I knew that. Thanks for the reminder. Thanks Google - enshittification for all!
How is piped supposed to work? Instead of a video, I see Got error: “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot”
I think Lemmy developers should focus on developing and supporting Lemmy’s core features and not stuff like novelty bots. Lemmy is not a monolithic entity, so the rules regarding implementing such bots would be up to each instance and then each community on the instance. There’s no technical reason I’m aware of that would prevent such a bot from working, just a question as to whether it would be allowed or even welcomed.
The National Guard is not monolithic either, as it is per service and per state. I.e. Minnesota Air National Guard, Minnesota Army National Guard, Iowa Air… you get it
Save science for people who understand things.
Does this not strike you as the least bit ironic?
They don’t have nearly as much of a problem as non-federated social media. The short answer is that it depends on how instances have things set up and how users decide to migrate- but still, compare that to non-federated social media where you’re just given the boot when things shut down
Asklemmy’s purpose is a place to ask open-ended questions, “an actual topic of discussion”, as the sidebar puts it, its not really meant to just answer questions that could be researched and answered.
I’m making an ass of myself assuming that he’s just a known quantity at this point. I should realize that not everyone was alive, watching those channels on TV then, or that corner of YouTube now! He was on Mythbusters, which was a very popular science entertainment show on the discovery channel from 2003-2018, and his livestreams on the Tested YouTube channel since then are pretty popular where he talks about being a “maker” and all that entails - freelancing, skills, tools, jobs, relationships, etc etc etc.
I can’t think of a particular video where he mentioned cardboard+hot glue, he’s mentioned it a few times because he’s not shy about repeating things- he’d rather convey a point than worry that he’s told a story or anecdote before. I mentioned it here because it really stuck with me with its simplicity- along with a thought in the back of my head that I should get a hot glue gun myself one of these days…
I do not, just passing along the concept. I catch his recorded live streams fairly regularly and I know that he’s mentioned cardboard + hot glue on multiple occasions, especially when “how do I get started?” type questions come up.
I can think of anything, but because lots of packaging is cardboard, I’m reminded that Adam Savage has recommended cardboard and hot glue as a way to get into making props and cosplay and such! It’s such a low barrier to entry and really easy to work with, and surprisingly versatile. Even if you plan on using more robust materials in the future, it can be a cheap way to make a proof of concept
I don’t think anyone using the term “slop” thinks it’s brave or leaving anyone else in tears and shambles. I’m fairly certain when folks say they’re tired of AI slop they literally mean they’re tired of AI slop.
This is ILM, though, considering what they’ve accomplished in the past with hands-on tools, for the current chief creative officer to embrace AI so wholeheartedly, and for the result to just be “animal crossed with animal”, it’s pretty disappointing
Oh interesting, that audio is from a totally different video
Thanks!
Whoops! missed that part 🤦 very good point
