As well as the original story as reported by Skynews before they replaced it in lockstep with other media.

How would you make it more reliable?

Everyone forgets about the coal wars, and the scenario you are talking about will likely look very similar to that one.

Oh sure, and money isn't actually stuff, it's just an approximation of the stuff that you could buy. You can't just buy anything you want with it.

If you want to actually convert it into stuff it's a decade long process to take the raw resources and process them into the desired end product.

(Sure it's not "real money" the same way money, laws, government, etc. aren't "real" but they're enough of a shared psychosis that it provides the ability to shape reality. Smugly pointing out that it's just another socioeconomic abstraction layer deep doesn't change the material effect on reality.)

Because the actual scaling is $1000/pixel. The issue is that screen resolutions are in units of 8 (because bytes) and thus to get it to look nicely centered, while filling the screen and staying true to the base unit scaling the 'full screen' scale is also going to be in units of 8.

Sure you could rescale, or do some other shenanigans to get it into nicer units but then it would look lopsided and uncentered (which is something to keep an eye out for on intentionally misleading graphics).

Not a 'stupid american' thing but a 'stupid computers' thing.

LMAO at the amount of "her entire career has been about building and filling internment camps, but at least she doesn't have the popular support for a soft coup!" in this thread.

You mean far-right groups like Israeli officials = Zionists = genocidal terrorists?

And there's only one species of wild cabbage, Brassica oleracea. Get out of here with that "broccoli", "kale", "cabbage" or "brussel sprouts" nonsense!

You might reconsider based on which one has more ability/incentive to affect you

Fingers crossed this stuff galvanizes people to realize that voting is, at best, a temporary stopgap and they will need to be a bit more active in the whole political process. What happened to the riots that were promised if Roe vs. Wade was overturned? When the Democrats fall in lockstep with the far right extremists how will you hold them accountable?

Though this'd also likely lead to far right extremists ramping up their violence as they feel themselves losing power.

That is what overturning Roe vs. Wade is about. The parent article is a story of far right extremists ramping up their violence as American empire loses power. Is your plan to vote that away? It hasn't worked for the last 40+ years.

It's not, the underlying data is still just as biased. Taking a bunch of white people and saying they are "ethnically ambiguous" is just statistical blackface.

There's a specific model for stable diffusion called riffusion that does an okay job. If you want to play with it I recommend downloading the automatic 1111 client and installing it from the "plugins" tab.

People are capable of more than 1 emotion at a time and that doesn't make any other emotions invalid and it certainly doesn't make any of the other possible ones people may feel or express "immoral".

Yes, someone is dead. They were flawed, but so is everyone and their passing is a tragedy to those close to them. Sadness, mourning, and empathy for those who will be most affected by his passing is a valid emotion.

Ryan actively chose a profession dedicated to inflicting violence upon those around them including the deaths of many others. Relief that he is no longer able to cause harm is a valid emotion.

Ryan was unable to stop causing harm to others on his own volition. He likely did it with the best of intentions, but through a steady diet of misinformation and lies he was conned into acting as a violent enforcer of capital. Frustration that this is what it took to prevent him from inflicting further harm is a valid emotion.

The empathy you are demanding with "it's bad when people get killed" is the same moralistic argument that "it's good when killing is avoided". Celebration that Ryan will no longer be causing the deaths of others is a valid (and morally equivalent) emotion.

Etc.

In short: It's a good platitude, but it's a poor moralistic argument, and is a narrow-minded viewpoint. Lemmy isn't the problem, your lack of empathy for those outside of Ryan's direct social circle is.
