And right before that, they claimed some horseshoe bullshit.
Where did you get that feeling with your 2 day old account? O.o
Saying something stupid on purpose and getting flack for it is "irony" now?
As if intensity is what makes ideologies bad. 🙄

The biggest imperialist in the world is a war monger? Whatever gave me that idea?

The Rule of Law
Ah well, that's .ml for you.
That's rich, coming from a .world account.
Dude. Neither are good, and I perfer neither.
Then we agree.
You are not in good faith.
Why? Because I'm questioning whether or not Russia is committing a genocide?
How is Ukraine comparable? The Nazis had their mad eugenics. What is Russia supposedly doing that's comparable? Is Russia following some eugenicist policy?
No, you refuse to explain.
Where did you read that Russia made this ultimatum?
Question: Do you know any simple Faceswap software for Desktop?
Hi! I'm sometimes handling photos of people who wouldn't like their real faces shown. But pixellation isn't a very PR-friendly practice if you want to publish the images (e.g. photos of a protest).
So I remembered that ages ago, back when I used snapchat that they had this simple faceswap feature that was able to run on a simple smartphone and I was wondering:
Is there a simple, easy to set up program that takes the faces of a picture and faceswaps them with another, available face?
I was thinking of getting a random face from this-person-does-not-exist.com and superimpose it on the faces of the photo. This way, it's protecting the identity of the people on the photos, while keeping the photo easy to look at (plus, no one else's likeness will be used unconsentually).
After a quick google, I found faceswap.dev, but then I read stuff about extracting, training and converting and deemed it overkill. The feature I was
Any source for hellofresh recipes?
A friend gifted me a few hellofresh boxes once and I quite liked the recipes. But I don't care about subscription services to get overpriced groceries delivered if the supermarket is a 5 minutes walk away.
Is there any collection on the recipes online? At least in Germany, recipes aren't even copyrighted, so it wouldn't even be illegal to distribute them here (AFAIK, IANAL).
Propaganda bad
Description comic of four panels:
Panel 1: Canary being offered a copy of Peter Kropotkin's "The conquest of bread" it's angry and screaming "GET THAT PROPAGANDA OUT OF MY FACE!"
Panel 2: It chomps on the book
Panel 3: It tastes the book
Panel 4: It's full of bliss. The Anarchy- and mutual aid symbols are floating above its' head.
About as open source as a binary blob without the training data
Office space meme:
"If y'all could stop calling an LLM "open source" just because they published the weights... that would be great."
Imposter syndrome go brrrrr

I have approximate knowledge of many rules
Maybe a bit optimistic, but one can dream

Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games?
Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.
I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.
Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.
I already got:
- Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
- Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
- Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
- ... that's it
It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.
A route with some chest hair!

Europe’s seeds are being privatised by patents - and it could threaten food security
cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/2037887
Europe has one of the most diverse seed industries in the world. In Germany, the Netherlands and France alone, hundreds of small breeders are creating new varieties of cereals, vegetables and legumes.
Relying on decades of careful selection to improve desired traits like yield, disease resistance and flavour, they adapt seeds to local environments through methods like cross-breeding.
This legion of plant breeders help maintain Europe’s biodiversity and ensure that our food supplies stay plentiful. But their work is under growing threat from the patent industry.
Although it’s illegal to patent plants in the EU, those created through technological means are classified as a technical innovation and so can be patented.
This means that small-scale breeders can no longer freely plant these seeds or use them for research purposes without paying licensing fees.
