  • Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate

    Jump

  • oh, I'm not suggesting that we stop trying, but if we solve the underlying issues that cause the need for Minimum wage increases, they will be necessary less often, or, even be able to be reduced with no ill effects to overall cost of living. It's not a zero sum game, and there are many factors at play. Focussing only on one aspect will never SOLVE the problem, merely kick the can down the road.

  • Minimum wage means nothing without a Maximum wage. Business owners will never give themselves a pay cut to give you a pay raise. They'll pass it on to the consumer and then we'll be right back to the beginning again. You also need to put an end to Capital Gains tax dodging through spurrious loans and stock buybacks. The Wealthy are using it as "free money" glitch and that's what's driving up inflation more than anything.

  • Bing is better for NSFW searches, in my experience, but if you want to be really specific, Yandex with a good VPN might be what you need.

  • go look at the vintage stuff compared to today. Quality HAS gone down, TBF. It's the difference between wanting to be there and doing it for the money, really.

  • With the way things are going, probably.

  • this is scary if you are someone that relies on exploitation for your livelihood.

  • I have a Substack. I use A.I. gen for a cover image. It's more to build branding than anything else. I'd use an artist, but I have to pay an artist, and sadly, I myself am broke. I have too much respect for artists to pay them in "exposure." So AI gen it is. Now if you'd like to help me change that: Subscribe, please?

  • There were dozens of attendees, dozens!

  • Oh, well, By that metric I see your point. I was talking gross attendance.

  • while I get your metaphor, mine has the added benefit of actually being somewhat factual. Or did you not hear about that OF star Bonnie Blue?

  • How do you know if a video is AI?

    Jump

  • The tells are getting subtler but currently a good tell is the camera work. If the video looks amateurish (grainy, blurry), but the video is more stable than a $60k gimbal mounted movie grade model with active scene stabilization, it's probably AI. Another giveaway is motion morphing items from hammerspace where there's a visible "seam" where the LLM is trying to reconcile two prompts. (example: you see a video of a horse rider, and the bridle and reins might suddenly decrease in length instead of becoming taught when the rider wishes the horse to stop, or you may see objects morph into existence from other structures, but so fast you might have to rewatch it a few times to catch it.)

  • Some say tech peaked in 2013 in terms of pre-enshitification. What year do you think it peaked and why?

    Jump

  • I remember when you didn't have to worry about getting ratioed into oblivion just because you wanted to engage in a little good natured trolling.

  • What's one book everyone should read at least once in their lifetime?

    Jump

  • Anything by E.B. White. While the narratives are simplistic, there is a gentile under tone of trauma in each one that I feel might be rather meaningful and resonant to today's emotionally fragile youth. These are books that deal with inevitable death, discrimination and ableism in frank, but subversively subtle ways.

  • ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal'

    Jump

  • you do know that like 85% of TF2 servers (yes there are still TF2 players) are community hosted? I hope this dipshit is ready to deal with the business end of a fully loaded Gaben.

    a bit of context as a current Minecraft player:

    About two years ago, Microsoft made Mojang add a rather draconian player reporting feature to all of their server software that constantly scans the chat for "malicious content." "Malicious content" is the usual boilerplate corporate image ass covering, but while that is bad enough, it also has the power to ban a player from even accessing their OWN private, Singleplayer world, should the algorithm deem the infraction severe enough. Unfortunately, the console version of the game (known as "Bedrock" by the community, due to it having a shared cross play API for all console ports) was wholly owned by Microsoft, with Mojang only getting a developer credit. This means for the console player, there is little to be done. Meanwhile on the original PC version (Known as "Java" for the language it's coded in) had this implemented as well, but because Mojang owns all the licencing for THAT version, and they have an open, "hands off" modding API policy (within reason) for it, Modders IMMEDIATELY coded a workaround that deactivates the part of the code operating the chat reporting feature, by spoofing the blockchain authentications that verify that the chat entries scanned are "authentic" (basically it makes the receiving server at Mojang believe that every chat entry's "encryption key" is "inauthentic" so it can ignore all of them, no matter what their content is. The clever bastards.) This mod ("no chat reports") is now considered a part of standard server op support QoL installs, for the Java player base.

  • This reminds me of the First Rule of the Internet, in a way.

    For those Unaware, the First Rule of the Internet is as follows:

    "All the "Men" are Boys, All the "Women" are Men, and all the "little girls" are F.B.I. Agents"

    In our case it goes:

    "All the "Conservatives" are fascists, All the "liberals" are Conservative, and all the "Commies" are just people with common sense.
