If gunning down little kids with lunchboxes isn’t enough to make you dial the guns town a notch, then nothing will.

Close enough. You can come in the club. There’s dunkaroos in the back if you’re hungry.

You the stones to destroy the stones.

A couple of other journalists have theorized that there might be some quid pro quo happening with the mayor and the family that owns California Waste Solutions.

There has been shady stuff happening city contracts and lawsuits around CWS. People are wondering if the recycling company might be paying off a politician in order to get preferential treatment with the city.

But who knows, the FBI has not announced charges. It’s going to be a while before we find out what is actually going on. It’s all just speculation right now.

People always forget the teenage son. I was all about waste management corruption when I was that age.

It wasn’t my intention to come across as aggressive. Not trying to pick a fight here.

I’m honestly just curious about how some gen AI features are showing for you. If you are able to access them, I would love to reproduce what you did so that I could fiddle with the AI as well. I’m seeing the same bedtime stories on my iOS 17 / 18 devices and my Ventura Mac.

When ask iOS 18 Siri to tell me a story, I get the same handful of stories over and over. Mouse college friends, a spider with the spindly legs, ground squirrels, etc. 🤷‍♂️

It’s dumb, but I think the author was trying to say, “we have an emissions solution for the motor, and now it’s worth exploring where else we need to address emissions for motor vehicles.”

¿Por qué no los dos?

How are you generating stories with Apple Intelligence? When I ask Siri to “tell me story,” Siri pulls from a small library of canned stories. They’re the same on iOS 17 and 18. They’re not generative and I can’t say “tell me a story about dinosaurs who where top hats.”

It really just boils down to people arguing over which is better Judaism or Judaism Special Edition.

The color multiplied icons are still not my cup of tea. But they seem to do a better job of applying colors and blacks to the appropriate foreground and background elements.

Still feels differently ugly than what Android does. On one hand, they all match. On the other hand, they are ugly color multiply, not a color fill. Which looks muddier.

Weird. I thought most people knew to use spit as lube.

General Lee horn noises

Tang is better for sandwiches.

Real OGs go for this seltzer instead.

Seriously.

When instances get big, it gets really hard for volunteer admins to manage communities with controversial content. You end up having to deal with legal BS and lots of reports.

Admins and mods putting restrictions in place has more to do with keeping the community maintainable. Dealing with all of that stuff is tough when it’s after work and out of your own pocket.

I wish folks had a little bit more empathy for people volunteering their time and money to offer a free service. Lemmy.world’s head admin isn’t Zuck. He’s just a regular Joe Shmoe doing this in his free time.

These are volunteers, that have day jobs, that have to spend their own time and money to deal with the legal ramifications of that. These aren’t people with legal teams and millions to blow on risk mitigation. These are hobbyists doing this after work, after helping the kids with homework, after cooking dinner for the family, etc.

Good news is that other instances exist. This is just what one group of volunteers is offering to the world.

I know diagnosing someone off random internet videos is a silly thing to do, but every time this dude pops up in the news, my brain jumps to “there is something significant in the DSM for this guy.”

I wonder if Howard is actually suffering from a diagnosable psychotic disorder. He appears to be delusional - and not as a figure of speech. Delusional in the clinical sense.

Hearing Howard’s words, juxtaposed to what was written to him, is pretty bonkers. He thinks he’s a genius that can reinvent math, and he gets super defensive at any polite and candid feedback of his bizarre work.
