The bigger story is that Fox put this guy on air and acted like there was some legitimacy to it. The guy himself at least has an excuse for acting brain dead. What’s the excuse for the viewers?

Hmmm yeah that’s fair. I wasn’t seeing it that way

I get that. I mean, that’s how I knew to come down here and say that it was misleading. But surely we can agree it’s strange to post something a year old on this particular community. especially something like this, that in context of what’s been going on with Discord really makes it seem like fresh news. Like, the 2025 part is only needed because the post is misleading to begin with

So so so so so misleading to post this when this will be interpreted as an event from 2026. Post should be removed IMO.

So its really just the same “actual artist” vs “horny gooner dumbass” split that has plagued Japanese media for decades 😭

Can we PLEASEEEE not shoehorn “TIL” into being just another repository for news stories? Imagine if I posted in here every day saying “oohhh today I learned what temperature it is outside today”. Clearly against the spirit of the community. Yes, its good information… So please put it where it belongs so that people can easily find it and easily find other things too, rather than mishmoshing all our posts into one unfilterable, uncategorizable blob

Yeah, it’s my own little category that I have in my mind, not anything super formalized. But there’s a bunch of immigration content that depicts some kind of hyper idealized life in another country where they’re like, oh, I have this beautiful house. It’s so affordable. Everything is so great. And then you start to ask yourself, well, how do they actually have a visa? What are they doing for their job? How far do they have to travel for their job? How does any of this work? And then you see that either that a spouse is doing actually just a pretty normal job, or they themselves have some unicorn job, and the whole setup is really quite a rare/specific one. I don’t think that they’re outright lying or anything, but they just aren’t telling the whole story much like the magician

This reminds me of a lot of tiny/beautiful house emigrant YouTubers too, except instead of parents its a remote working developer spouse

Same with my vizio!

This will also be quite the test for the Lemmy slopwarriors

Every AI-forward dev I know is worse at their job than the ones who don’t like it. They all think they’re doing something smart, but their output sucks and they end up being deadweight that people who actually think and work have to carry. Maybe its not that way everywhere, but it is undeniably the reality at my employer.

At least for right now I would trust one that had the backing of the Graphene devs. Them and Signal are probably the two most rock solid trust sources right now. (Of course this must constantly be reevaluated)

Yeah by “switch to” they probably do mean flash. I could have sworn they had plans to ship Graphene phones but maybe that’s a later phase.

I love graphene, but I hope they’re planning to also roll out some very strong stock software - or else this will make for a very rough first impression on a large audience of normies and hurt graphene’s long run chance of success. The camera, gallery, and app store in particular will not come up to many users’ standards.

Without exaggeration, doing this now (depending on the person) would risk life imprisonment for bioweaponry terrorism, or just getting shot

I know it’s popular to call conservatives dumb and while I don’t like to beat dead horses, I really think the explanation for this is that they’re dumb. The illiterate form of dumb, to be precise. The caps are a way of adding emphasis - which is something that can also be done by phrasing, word choice, sentence structure, and so on. But those techniques would require a beyond 4th grade level of writing and reading ability, so they do not succeed in the conservative communication marketplace.

I will add a disclaimer, my beloved Nietzsche also does all caps words sometimes, but I believe that since this is alongside his impressive eloquence, it is clearly not a sign of stupidity in that context. Likewise, it is not a sign of stupidity in many other contexts. That is to say:

Using that style of communication does not always make it a safer bet that someone is stupid, but being stupid does make it a safer bet that they use that style of communication.
