I don't think its fair to say piracy was niche in the early 2000s either though, everyone had napster or limewire/frostwire.
And netflix wasn't originally streaming only, they started out as online DVD rentals which exploded and then added streaming as a second offering (only discontinuing DVD rentals in 2023).
The modern piracy resurgence is certainly not torrents, though for the power users it is (or usenet), its online streaming sites like whatever the equivalent of 123movies is these days
Its been nearly a decade since I've used twitter, but iirc you use a quote retweet so it shows for your followers. If you just reply, and they don't follow the OP, then it doesn't show in their feeds
This follows my conspiracy theory that grocery stores in areas with high SNAP benefits ussge increase the prices on everything significantly. I have some family in an area where a lot of people rely on SNAP, and spent $20 on a pack of five hot dogs.
Isn't it just the same heat energy that would have been beating down on the environment otherwise (plus some sort of reduction since the panels are converting some of it to power)
I mean even if it's not south facing, im sure some production is still better than no production (to a certain point, obv there needs to be some multiple of ROI to make sense)
The craziest part is there's literally a Seinfeld episode where Puddy says "One day, we'll get enough people in the Supreme Court to fix that". They knew for 30 years that this was the plan, and still chose to do nothing about it.
Thats a false equivalency. Grok is a service offered by the company, so it's more like a weirdo going to a photographer to commission CP, and the photographer agreeing.
Notice that it's also not "art". The photorealistic output is based on real images of real minors, meaning that any of the generated components are exploiting the minors in the training data since the AI doesn't just create things out of thin air.
Each individual view of CP is considered one instance of exploitation for that minor, so it stands to reason that each derivative work derived from that source image is an instance ofl exploitation on top of the exploitation of the minor in the photo that the AI is editing
Hate that I had to explain this, glad that the tagging function exists in Lemmy. Tagging you as a CSAM Apologist and hope to never cross your path again!

Almost certainly, you'd only see activity that would have had a reason to federate over
I think eligibility varies state to state

Is bro okay?
No, probably the union busting
Good bot
A 12oz protein shake can have 41g protein @ 230 calories
To get the same from black beans you'd have to consume 2.75 cups of black beans @ 624 calories
That's a huge chunk of your daily calorie intake + the other effects that beans will have in your intestines, no thank you
Probably a good place to ask, how many of my fellow lemmings are in vegas next week for the conferences??
haha look you r burger
Doesn't seem that way

This makes so much more sense, thank you for giving more context
10.8L is roughly 3gal which roughly 33 12oz bottles
Thats like 1.25 cases of beer, either I'm drinking a lot more than the average person or these stats arent correct
Weirdo take tbh
