Lower courts have dismissed Davis’ claims and most legal experts consider her bid a long shot

If only I had any faith that the scotus gave a damn about precedent and law at this point. My bet, they take this on the ‘shadow docket’, rule for her, and refuse to explain why.

Basically a test to see if he can get away with calling for martial law.

It would help the scam if you didn’t"t try to pose as a Mastodon bot to a Lemmy user.

I’ve never knowingly engaged with a proper chat bot beyond the ‘virtual help desk’ things some sites use. By proper I mean some sizable system beyond what can be typically run at home.

Home ran ones are bizarre though, so far whatever I try they get stuck on go-to phrases and tend to return to specific formats of response over and over. Very much not passing the turing test.

Long running troll, posts a bunch of hyper-capitalist, winner take all, libertarian bullshit. I’d almost call it a bit.

The planet can, maybe the next species of critters to pick up a pointy stick can make use of it after it resets itself.

DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room

Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.

Hey, maybe if everyone stops buying all our death machines we’ll stop making so many and build something useful instead? Wishful thinking I know but…

Well by all reporting the whole of Q-Anon started with some fool on 4Chan claiming to have top level gov clearance and knowing all the dirt. Once enough people repeat something as fact the people who might have been skeptical at first start to jump on board because ‘how could that many people be wrong?’.

Massive group think from the very independent researching crowd letting things go out of control.

Of course as we all know, the Superbowl is the only place and time internationally known celebrities are able to express their political preferences.

“I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both”

Chastised by some, loved by others, it depends a lot on the audience. I think overall though women have been given more a pass, pegged as ‘willfull’ or ‘impetuous’ where as with men it’s treated as a flaw that they should be shunned for.

Think of the differing ways that daddy’s girl and mamma’s boy are perceived to get to what I mean.

It’s funny how it only seems to be a problem in on direction. Boyish women or ‘tomboys’ are applauded in a lot of circles.

Anyone remember when Mitch fillibustered his own bill? Peperedge farm remembers…

Not the first time they’ve stuck their foot in their mouth up to the knee.

Something similar to this might help disburse the load required for peertube. What sites you read you host in return, very much like with bit torrent with a presentation layer tacked on top.

Might make for an interesting experiment to take picture of someone in a mirror and through the mirror (pinhole or two-way mirror) and then ask people which of the two is real and which is the doctored one. Neither are edited of course but one would look wrong for anyone who met the person in the photos.

I suspect it’s because we see accurate representations of ourselves in every mirror. With voice though what we hear normally is distorted by the resonence of our jawbone, so hearing the version everyone else does when it’s played back from a recording is alien and weird.

Currently a R730XD, but it has been run on plenty of other things down to a 1.3Ghz/4GB IPX box at the beginning. It’s pretty stripped down to run as an embedded system rather than a full server OS.

I’ve used this on a variety of boxes since it was called freenas back before a fork long ago. A NAS doesn’t need a whole lot of power in itself if the job is just to store and offer disk space. My current setup is in a full 2U rack server with 14 drives (12 spinning, 2 ssd) and it averages 169 watts. If you do the transcoding on whatever box is actually accessing the data it can save on the need for extra compute on the NAS.

Well sure if you want to take morbid reality into account. Yet they wonder why people call for gun laws when nutcases pull things like that.

I haven’t used Google directly other than at work for a while, but this is actually a welcome thing for those charged with filtering the web. Those cache links are so often used as a way around web content filters and with how closely the entire Google ecosystem is integrated it’s a pain to slice them apart from the live web.
