One of the things that makes a staged video less troubling is that the staging itself always comes with tells. Camera angles, cuts, framing, and of course actual staging.

AI videos can have that too, but they aren’t the inherent tells. AI tells are unnatural: bodies that shift in subtle ways, objects warped or merging outside the center of frame. It’s not stuff that you look for because it’s not stuff that actually happens in nature, or even in human constructed CGI all that often. But it does add up to a sense of uncanny valley.

I feel like the photorealism is what makes it bad. When you notice it’s fake you feel lied to. If it’s a cartoon, or blatantly cartoonish, it doesn’t.

I feel like Slackware needs to be higher up the mountain than Debian.

Trisquel and Dragora should be in Fredonia since they run on all free software by default.

A company so small it doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. No discernible products.

Any poly market bets on how long this company actually lasts?

Okay, what’s this law he’s talking about? Some proposal to ban Xitter from app stores?

This tweet is fine. Italy is wrong on this matter.

So it’s not about what they’re actually doing but what they said about the US administration?

I got to tell you man, the next 3 years you are going to hear a lot of unjustified praise for Trump, because nobody wants to be on the bad side of that madman and the US courts have basically decided that the POTUS is King of America for 4 years at a time. The US just kidnapped the head of state of a foreign nation because he danced. The US will probably invade Greenland soon unless someone calls Trump a very special and beautiful boy who doesn’t need a big slab of ice in the Arctic. Cuba and Chile are in big trouble too unless Little Marco gets tired of gargling the old man’s jizz.

All that said, Italy is wrong, Cloudflare is correct in this case, and the reason to avoid Cloudflare is not because they’re dick riding the Big Orange, but because you should have been avoiding Cloudflare anyway because they over- centralize internet infrastructure.

It looks like Italy has been making onerous censorship demands, and Cloudflare has been fined for refusing to comply. That seems like a W for Cloudflare to me.

So first, the article is about churches generally, not just the worst people you know. Lots of old Presbyterians and AME folks at the anti-Trump rallies.

Second, idk, let go of the hate. I get it, I really do, I spout off myself a lot, but it’s poison. See how it warps and twists others, but don’t think it does any less to you because yours is righteous.

It seems to me that having a mouse button defaultly paste the contents of the keyboard without the inclusion of a modifier key is just a bad idea.

As you said, you have pasted the wrong thing by accident because it’s one button press.

It just seems to me that by default pasting text should not be done by a single button press anywhere where your hand rests, like a mouse or the center of a keyboard. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be able to make it’s a configurable option, options are good, but it is not a good default.

Man I don’t care what Jesus said, I don’t believe in that stuff, but I’ve known enough religious people to know that they’re not all pieces of shit and they don’t deserve to be stolen from or treated as less than human.

The vast majority of Americans are religious, and even the ones that mark their religion as None mostly believe in God.

Congratulations, you have an issue with Americans in general. They still don’t deserve to be scammed.

Less obviously stupid, but she had a low bar to clear in Trump.

Just tell him no, tell him you don’t want to be on his social media.

Don’t overthink it, US economy isn’t that great either.

Tell me you’ve never known a religious person outside your shitty family.

A lot of atheists voted for Trump, and a lot of religious people voted against him.

Who the fuck are you even talking about? Have you ever known a religious person?

Hahahaha old people being robbed

In churches people regularly give and spend money.

So get the AI pastor to say “We’re collecting for supplies for casseroles for Food Kitchen X, can you send money to WeirdCashAppY?”

“Hey church treasurer, sorry to call you so late but I’m in a meeting with the regional staff about the thing. Can you wire an Unusually Large Sum of money to Strange Name, we’re late on that account.”
