@hfaust why people cant get a big trash bag, some plastic hose, duck tape and a tank of helium for a fraction of the cost is beyond me.

@CapitalB oh, well, they are in no way aligned with hacker ethics anymore, yes :) used to be anarchists.

@CapitalB i think it's that most give me the vibe of acting friendly but will backstab you the first chance.

like, i had some nice conversations with someone in '21 who immediately flipped into "YOU DESERVE TO DIE" upon hearing that i didn't get the magic mrna juice.

:blobshrug:

why do people on chaos social annoy me this much even when i just read the posts, not interact.

@r000t as german i can say that pretzel with loads of butter indeed is very good :) butter doesn't make you fat anyway!

@mr_penguin fediverse requires work. i'm on this account for some years now and it took at least half of that to get my feed to where it is.

@FourOh-LLC @cjd plot twist: they are paranoid psychopaths and just give all the kids laced sweets ;)

@cjd i wonder how children "look like" when their parents are trump supporters.

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).

I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.

Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.

I open my original photo.
No bra showing.

I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...

Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨

Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)

He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.

He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.

She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.

AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

i don't think positively about them at all.

i'm looking at it from two hypothetical hats: the hat of someone who really, really hates another country and wants to punish them. this hat could do so much real damage with just a little bit of the right effort

another hat is i'm controlled and just doing enough terrorism to keep a forever war going and nothing else. if i'm wearing this hat, i'd do exactly what terrorism looks like right now: stab some guy at a mall, makes people mad, but doesn't actually do anything on a strategic scale.
@Tfmonkey @shortstories My brother in christ, that isn't bread, that's an unholy and nutritionally sparse amalgamation of artificial and denatured ingredients and possibly seed oils; goyslop. Everything you ever admitted to eating fits this description. Real bread is just water, flour and yeast. Real alternative 'bread' just replaces the wheat flour with another and some kind of emulsifier. Please eat real food. :ablobcatnodmeltcry-0:
