The Most Stupidest Game Ever - Re-duh!

The Glimpse Editor project shut down because there weren’t enough contributors, and the founder didn’t have enough time to do everything.

…and yeah it wasn’t just a rename, their github readme suggests they were making UX, accessibility, settings, and plugin changes to make it “enterprise ready” (not sure on the specific details of that though).

It’s a joke (from the author of the article and not a quote from Zuckerberg). Usually in the format of “xyz will continue until morale improves”, where xyz is something that is likely to reduce morale, thus implying that xyz will continue indefinitely.

In this case the morale is of those forced to consume meta’s ai slop, i.e facebook users.

An alternate worded headline would be: “AI content will continue on Facebook regardless of whether users like it”.

What stops the botters from setting up their own instances to create unlimited users for manipulating votes?

I guess admins also have to be on top of detecting and defederating from such instances?

Defining something as “art” or “not art” seems a rather simplistic worldview.

Does art need to be “appreciated by anyone” to be “art”, is art only what is popular, or simplistic enough to be understood by a mass audience?

Is stencilling over/tagging a banksy vandalism, or is it a making a statement on the middle class hypocrisy of its widespread acceptance of street works from one author and the derision of others?

Which of these are “art” or “not art”…

• banksy later tagging his own work
• banksy later tagging his own work but not claiming authorship
• banksy later tagging his own work, but publicly saying someone else did it, and that he doesn’t approve
• someone else tagging banksy’s work, and banksy publicly saying that he approves
• banksy stencilling over the mona lisa (on the actual paint)
• banksy stencilling on the outside wall of fallingwater
• banksy stencilling something regarded as offensive by some people
• banksy stencilling something you like on the front of your house
• banksy stencilling something you don’t like on the front of your house, but is widely liked by others
• somebody else stencilling the same thing on the front of your house

Seems like the rules for what is/isn’t art could be quite complicated. There would be endless possible scenarios to judicate on. Not to mention, who gets to decide? Popular vote, experts, the owner of the substrate?

Much simpler to let art be undefined and interpretable however one wishes.

One persons vandalism is another persons art.

No doubt if someone else claimed responsibility for it, it would already have been washed off.

Based on their 2022 report, only half of their expenses were on software development costs - around $220m, and it’s not clear what portion of that was on Firefox vs other projects.

In terms of revenue: around $100m was from sources other than Google.

Therefore, it seems plausible to me that Firefox development could still be funded with $100m of annual revenue. At a smaller level no doubt, but still in existence nonetheless.

So with a sufficiently small volume of space, we would have an actual nothing again? Or the foam can go infinitely small?

Some of them might make you cry.

The article title is a little misleading, it’s not being banned, Meta have just decided to launch Threads in US and UK only for the moment.

“it is understood that the DPC has not actively blocked the service. Instead, the tech giant has not yet prepared the service for a European launch outside the UK”

Here from reddit, play on Odin.

Originally started playing during 1.0 beta, stopped playing probably within days after the 1.0 launch, then refused to play again until all the hype around Endwalker launch got me interested again.

Now, other than story content when available, I login solely for watering plants, island sanctuary, weekly cactpot, and queuing for mahjong.
