The pro-Traoré social media buzz took off following a protest in Ouagadougou on 30 April when tens of thousands rallied in a massive show of support for the 36-year-old military ruler. Smaller solidarity protests emerged in Accra, London and Montego Bay, Jamaica.

they literally say the online buzz followed after him being broadly popular in IRL rallies.

wonder how it is on aarch64, I might try it

outright bans of certain types of posts also won’t prevent someone from registering new accounts and making them anyhow any more than containment comms do, its a matter of moderation

I agree they are obviously inappropriate for c/chat. I reported both of them, lets see what happens

I mean yeah, I also don’t find that funny, but I don’t think it needs to be banned entirely from the site, we have containment comms for a reason. Honestly even the impersonation would have been… I hesitate to say fine but not a big deal, if it was just used to make a bit post in fakenews or badposting or something.

I just assumed you were referring to the metapost on grad recently that got locked because people were getting a little heated in the comments. Which was specifically about the impersonation of wtypstan and xiaohongshu.

I think complaints about fakenews are mostly either “I don’t think its funny and want the ability to block it” or “some users are using it in a harassing/impersonating way” (which hasn’t been a major issue lately but was briefly years ago iirc

“I can’t actually tell if this is real and that makes me upset” brigade.

pretty dickish way to put “autistic person gets fooled by deliberate impersonation posts”

fake news is just sometimes unfunny, impersonation where you try to play on someone else’s existing reputation to say upsetting shit and point and laugh at anyone who cares enough to be upset by it is a different category.

I agree there should be a comm that allows this though. I expect in fakenews it wouldn’t actually get removed but idk, and ofc there’s comms on other instances for it.

I can see how that would feel good, but unless they were selling ads directly to friendly companies (and even disregarding the fact that it seems unlikely there would be many/any given their anticapitalist bent), this would make the project almost no money, while annoying users and opening them up to a lot of criticisms and a lot of overhead work building it and keeping that system running. Plus the vast majority of instances would probably not willingly run ads to benefit the devs, either due to not wanting ads or political disagreements with the devs, so it’d be only lemmy.ml and some micro instances. A nominal donation of $1/month from users like you, who may not want to spend much but does want to support in some way, would make them more money than a years worth of browsing

liberapay is probably the best. For payments processed there by stripe the fee avg is around 3.1%, and there’s no additional fee to the platform. Patreon ends up being like 15-20% iirc when you add up all fees. Unsure about opencollective or ko-fi

this was a good way to find out my former liberapay had crapped out over a year ago. Renewed now, thanks for what you do

I don’t think that will work out well: https://lemmy.world/post/25415423/15694987

I have noticed shows like this tend to be hard to find. There’s just a lot of them and less replayability I suppose than narrative shows. For certain ones youtube actually has a lot (jay leno and craig ferguson) due to dedicated archiving effort by fan channels but idk about Kilborn. If I find anything I’ll comment again

just today I had a kid tell me they were writing minecraft in HTML using chatgpt. Sillier and far less disturbing than your example, really just normal kid stuff, but a little disappointing

At my work I’ve repeatedly been getting chatgpt stuff from people when I didn’t even ask a question

Someone will come to me with an issue, I’ll work on solving it, and then in the middle of it they’ll self-satisfiedly post an obviously-copy-pasted-from-chatgpt paragraph proposing we do it completely differently, usually betraying some fundamental misunderstanding of the parameters of the task at hand. I think just reading over ChatGPT output and going “yeah that makes sense to me let’s do that” gives them a dopamine hit or something and they want me to acknowledge it. I try not to be a dick about it but it upsets me, and is genuinely just sad.

Cleaning up ChatGPT’s mess when someone learned-helplessnesses their way into a problem they can’t solve by blindly following directions from chatgpt is another fun one. It’s annoying but at least then they’ve already come to the conclusion they need human help and I can get to work seeing if what ChatGPT came up with even makes sense, and confirming it didn’t hallucinate any magic “do what I want” buttons that don’t exist. Or starting from scratch

shin is not vegan but it is pretty good, I think shin black is the best

Will miss you comrade, though idk about all this melina stuff. The vibes were regularly weird on hextube, definitely felt like things were not as under control there. Live chat is just a different ballgame

other admins would have to know for that to explain them getting special treatment

osmand uses openstreetmap, its just a polished up android version. Most features I’ve seen in an open source maps app although I think they were trying to monetize some parts last I heard. openstreetmap on its own is unfortunately a pretty rough substitute for google maps in a lot of common areas (its pretty bad for even looking up addresses), but it is still useful

my thoughts exactly. I’ll stick with sway
