I don’t know what the authors are complaining about. All the AI is doing is trawling through a lexicon of words and rearranging them into an order that will sell books. It’s exactly what authors do. This is about money.

Oh, it’s not that simple. I could call, email or any number of other methods. It’s just that I’d rather not communicate with a right wing, paranoid, fear-spreading, racist nut job. I just need to know they’re still breathing. This individual is spewing bile every single day,

Good news. I use it once a week to check if a relative is still alive.

In Australia it’s ute (pickup) drivers. If it’s a faded mustard colour it’s an ancient farmer driving 30 km/h below the speed limit in a no-overtaking area. If it’s bright red it’s the farmer’s grandchild driving at 30 km/h above the speed limit as he* overtakes you in a no-overtaking area.

*It’s always a he.

40%. That’s nearly a whole cheek.

lol There’s often a fair bit of waxing involved.

It says “no fully exposed” arse pix. What percentage of exposed derrière is acceptable? Asking for a friend.

This is not at all what it’s meant for but I use Element messenger for this purpose. It’s on all my devices, it’s e2ee, it’s shareable if needs be. It’s also a damn fine messenger in its own right.

Impressive.

As someone who has spent years extolling the virtues of Matrix/Element to family members I can assure you that there is no known rebuttal to the phrase “but I don’t care about privacy”. All it needs is to visit a site and sign up. No software required whatsoever. Good luck with GitHub and your ageing aunt or gobby nephew.

Or just download the full fat version from an overseas server run by the company making the product. Expecting the general populace to compile stuff is a little bit optimistic. We’re talking about a country where most people don’t know what a socket outlet is called or the difference between desktop wallpaper and a screensaver.

I’ve checked the ingredient list against the standard Heinz beans here in Aus and the quantity of salt and sugar is the only difference. Of course that may vary in other places. Manufacturers always adjust products for local tastes.

If you’re missing the UK type it’s sold overseas as Heinz English Recipe baked beans. I checked the difference in ingredients. The English ones have extra salt and sugar.

Downvote from me. The Heinz English Recipe baked beans are much better than the standard version.

Yep, Teddit works well for me because I don’t have a Reddit account. It’s quick and privacy respecting. I think I may have found it through the Privacy Redirect extension for Firefox.

Unsure if this is off-topic for this thread so feel free to delete if that’s the case.

/r/firefox now looks like this.

btw, if anyone wants a shitty pic of a firefox then I declare this one now in the public domain.

Edit: I should add that I don’t have a Reddit account to post this myself.

When it removes the entirety of LTT from YouTube it will worth a try. There isn’t much in this world that makes me seethe but that plonker is one.
