Hello, my name is Cris. :)
I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff
God fucking damnit man. Our local shit going to the democrats has been like my only solace
Hey look, it’s a description of me! 🙃
The pixelfed app is in beta, but you can use it. In my experience it’s pretty unstable right now
https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps
Edit: figured I should mention, I just use pixeldroid right now which is less unstable https://f-droid.org/packages/org.pixeldroid.app/
Thats genuinely amazing. The OSM community doesn’t care if what you built is dumb, they just care if it’s on the map
Props to them
Why in the everliving fuck is that a thing anyone needed? Just go to a gun store and show your ID if needed for fucks sake
We don’t need a new way to buy bullets, we certainly don’t need a vending machine for them, and if we’re getting one anyway it certainly doesn’t need AI, who the fuck dreamt this up and thought it was a good idea??
If you hear the term “black company”, what kind of company do you imagine? As we all know, black is the darkest color, so if you pictured an evil company with a dark side then you would be on the right track. A black company (aka “black corporation” or “black business”) is buraku kigyō ブラック 企業 in Japanese. In general, it is a term used to refer to an unacceptably exploitative employment system.
Now, maybe you’re thinking this is a word to describe a factory somewhere in China, but you’d be wrong. The term is actually usually associated with white-collar industries rather than blue-collar ones. It was coined by young IT workers in the early 2000’s and, being the IT workers that they were, spread this nickname around the internet as an internet meme. Now, thanks to its fame, it is a term that can be used for other industries that are not IT.
Context for anyone unfamiliar with the term
There’s a full list of affected brands for both baby carrots and whole carrots here:
It looks like aldi may be affected, and I just bought baby carrots from aldi 😅
I was curious to learn more so I looked at their website- their database is community built and crowdsourced rather than being run by a company
https://www.themoviedb.org/about
The Movie Database (TMDB) is a community built movie and TV database. Every piece of data has been added by our amazing community dating back to 2008.
EDIT! I take that back! Showcase has a link to look something up on JuatWatch!
Thank you so much for the recommendation, I can replace JustWatch now, that’s one more proprietary app gone! And the interface looks excellent!
I wish either would show me where I can watch things like justwatch, but I guess if I’m transitioning more towards piracy it doesn’t matter.
But if there’s a way to watch something without pirating it, it’s nice to know where I can do that. I recognize that’d be massively more difficult for an open source project though
If we don’t have a state delegate should we just pick the closest state?
I honestly can’t fathom people identifying with what one would describe as “backlash against the metoo movement”
“Can’t stand hearing all those women say they were raped or sexually harassed. I just won’t tolerate it.”
Love me some street complete! It’s a great way for me to get out of the house and do stuff even when places are closed, since I’m not awake during the day
I already do that cause I’m broke as shit 😅 most of what I let myself buy is stuff that makes it a little easier to manage my sleep disorder
Once again, one of the very rare few areas where ai isn’t a completely shitty solution: tasks that are worthwhile and important, but that require labor no one is willing to pay for.
Others include translation, transcription, and image descriptions. Things people won’t put resources into but that should happen anyway
The only problem is that these have nothing to do with why massive companies are investing in this tech. If AI didn’t enable the equivalent of money laundering for intellectual labor, the billionaires wouldn’t give a shit
That looks awesome! I’m deeply nostalgic for that period of time, material design was the big thing when I was first getting into UI design and I was absolutely in love with it
Klwp and Kwgt are still a blast, that’s what almost all of my stuff is made out of, but iOS has its pros as well :) from what I hear things are progressively getting a little more customizable, if still pretty locked down
At some point I’d like to get a little better at animations so I can make my setup feel a little more alive, but for the time being it’s mostly just static elements
That’s awesome! I enjoy the neon colors :)
