Court Rejects Appeal of Youtube-dl Hosting Provider 'Uberspace'
  • What are you talking about? 95% of the web uses SSL. 100% of the top-100 sites use SSL.

    Just about every single image, video, and line of text you've ever seen online was encrypted in transit.

  • Warning
  • A small city usually requires one gigawatt continuous power. 10 minutes of power is equal to 100k kWh.

    A 200x200 GenAI image takes about 2 seconds on an RTX 3060 running at 170W. That 2 seconds of power is equal to 0.000094 kWh.

    The meme is off by a factor of 1,063,829,787.

  • Ex-Google CEO warns that 'perfect' AI girlfriends could spell trouble for young men
  • I'm not against using AI to explore sexuality, including practicing with a chat bot, but the technology just isn't there yet. Most sexual talk from a chatbot comes from erotica. There's plenty of written erotica for all types of people, so it can be pretty versatile, but it is generally just going to act as a fantasy machine, which makes for terrible practice. Real people aren't like that.

    But as AI and AR/VR become more mature, we're going to get some pretty outrageous fantasy machines that are going to fuck up a lot of young men. I'm not even against full-on ultra-realistic hardcore simulations of sex, I just think we're going to be really unhealthy with it like we usually are with this kind of thing.

    Young men can hardly separate fantasy from reality and end up having parasocial relationships with camgirls instead of seeking real world companionship. When they can get a virtual deepfake blowjob from any girl with enough Instagram selfies to simulate, they're going to end up broken in the worst way imaginable, and women will be on the receiving end of that exploitation.

  • Increasing testosterone levels does not increase sex drive
  • Steroids usually decrease libido, so I doubt they would tell you otherwise, and if they did, they would be talking testosterone esters, and not a natural steroid hormone.

  • Do I Really Own the Digital Media I Bought?
  • I don't legally own any of the shit I pirated, but it's fully in my custody and under my control. That's all that matters. Can you make a copy, and can you do with that copy as you please?

  • Prove you're human rule
  • The horse eating a burger is my favorite.

    Or the shortest lifespan.

    Or whatever this is...

  • BACK IT UP
  • God, I wish I could afford LTO-9.

    You could fit all this stuff on 5 tapes. You could just walk around with them in your cargo shorts or something.

  • It just doesn't make sense
  • Not only are you wrong, but you missed an opportunity to bring up that they are called Chinese Mitten Crabs.

  • Missing a slam-dunk headline
  • Love how people actually believe that RFK's labor camp plan is voluntary, just because he said "where you can choose to go".

    4 years of hearing Trump and his cohorts lie about literally everything, and you're ready for another 4 of giving them the benefit of a doubt. Truly breathtaking naïveté.

  • Someone Made a Dataset of One Million Bluesky Posts for 'Machine Learning Research'
  • Well "you" the users of BlueSky should have read about what you were signing up for. Because this is ATProto for ya...

  • Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone's Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court Filing
  • Elon Musk parody accounts no longer required to advertise themselves as parody, since they really are Elon Musk now.

  • The Rise of the Chinese American Far Right
  • What on earth? Where were you attacked? All they did was describe Hexbear's generally accelerationist views.

    I think you need to reread the comments here and make certain you're responding to the right person.

  • Judge compares gender-affirming care to cigarettes & beer while upholding youth ban
  • The English language will eventually deteriorate into a hybrid of hillbilly, valley girl, Inner City, and various grunts.

  • I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories?
  • Some of the first porn I ever saw was some amateur porn sharing galleries someone linked me to on AIM. Lots of normal people having normal sex. I am somewhat thankful I was introduced to porn this way, rather than some sort of hardcore S&M shit. It was nice looking at something somewhat realistic. Like I had an idea that I would have a chance to do these things someday (spoiler: I would).

    Los Angeles becomes a sanctuary city for LGBTQ+ youth and immigrants as officials reject Project 2025
  • Republicans are openly saying that this is their endgame. Trump is nominating the authors for government positions.

    They literally put their plans in writing, and now those same people are empowered to start trying to introduce this agenda as legislation.

    It's not a conspiracy theory. It's just a conspiracy.

  • Bluesky is booming in Japan — mainly for reasons other than U.S. politics
  • Let's just say that decentralized social media lets Japanese users post stuff other mainstream platforms won't.

    So yeah, there's a lot of lolicon.
