Welcome to the cocks socks club! :)

I not only misread the first word like everyone else, I read the second word as s t imulation at first.

I understand why folks think violet is a LARP, but I don’t. She’s too matter of fact about her posts and doesn’t seem to care very much if folks give her attention for it or not. She barely comments in reply to her posts, and most of all she has explicitly said she’ll never share a pic of herself.

I think someone larping would be way more over the top with what and how they posted, would post and comment more frequently, and would for sure generate some AI thirst trap (or just steal someone else’s picture) and claim it to be her.

YMMV, and reasonable folks can disagree, but I think violet is exactly what she claims to be.

Nice try Violet08, you’ve exposed your alt account.

What don’t get is how they didn’t see the “invisible” text when they were copying it to paste it into the AI. Any tool I’ve ever used to select and copy text highlights it in a way that would show the “invisible” part. Was the question just so long that they could easily miss it?

I love the story but I’m a little skeptical just because of this one detail.

This is basically history repeating itself again with the Beehaw defederation.

I’ve been around the fediverse longer than the age of my account would suggest, but I missed the drama around Beehaw somehow - what was the story there?

Our shield TV recently stopped allowing Projectivy launcher (the 3rd party one we were using) to be bound to the home button on the remote. I can launch Projectivy and switch to it, but as soon as I hit the home button it’s right back to the default launcher.

I assumed this was something nvidia (or google) did to be dicks, but it sounds like that hasn’t happened to you, so now I’m less sure.

What 3rd party launcher are you using? Maybe I should try a different one.

I have gpt4all installed and just for kicks I just asked it three times “Who is Elias Thorne?” It gave me three different answers, including one answer claiming he’s a character from The Last of Us and another claiming he’s a character from Stranger Things.

FYI I seem to recall that almond milk is horrible for the environment because of the quantity of almonds and water required. Oat milk is supposed to be the better choice from that perspective, and supposedly it’s easy to make yourself but I haven’t tried that.

There’s a DDG privacy first browser on Android. This is probably what they are referring to.

But I’m a grower not a shower!

In that case I’m sorry for not getting it! :)

I didn’t realize they had covered it but I bet it’s a hoot. I’ll have to see if I can find it.

I haven’t thought of that song (or King Missile in general) in a long darn time.

You can definitely tell who read the article based on how people are commenting.

Based on recent posts, it might be her car.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
