That’s Pipkin Pippa I think.
- Comment on I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas. 2 weeks ago:
I liked the imagery of you scratching your eyes out.
Don’t mind the people shitting on your writing! It’s fine.
Also, I wonder about this. I don’t like using GenAI for a few reasons, one of them is the environmental impact, but it’s by no means the biggest. Not even close. It really is barely a reason at all.
It’s a tool… I think it’s immorally constructed and mostly in bad taste, but the environment is really a much deeper failure than the individual, I think. I don’t think campaigning against people using something mindlessly, ignorantly perhaps, blithely even, does much good, when you could spend that time convincing them that the big stuff, and there’s big stuff like data centers if we wanna just stick to AI, should be banned or regulated to oblivion.
“Don’t use GenAI” is fine, but “Data centers suck” results in the same thing and doesn’t attack the individual for some perceived moral failing for doing something innocuous while surrounded by terrible shit.
Hopefully you get what I’m getting at!

- Comment on Fellas… 3 weeks ago:
IDK
Yeah, it’s a joke with a “schizophrenia” punchline, as you put it, but I feel like it speaks to a yearning for connection and empathy and for love in a patriarchal system that demands the domination of man over woman, and therefore excludes the very possibility of love between a man and a woman, for true love can never exist in a dominator-dominated dynamic.
In a way, it’s the mirror image of a “wife bad” joke, where the loveless nature of patriarchal heterosexual unions is framed as the failure of the woman, where the “schizophrenia” joke frames it as a mere unattainable dream of the man.

so I only keep up for friends who aren’t as down the rabbit hole as I am privacy wise.
Fair enough.
On the thread: sheesh at least it’s not some Nazi or other extreme thing… The dev is just kind of an asshole, it seems. To be honest, I’ve heard of enough open-source drama to expect some sort of power-tripping or entitled dev somewhere in every project.
- Comment on Reddit advertising "Real people" 4 weeks ago:
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
TBH, I think the app looks ugly and the little jokes cycling during patching are obnoxious… Also, the settings don’t seem to actually work properly on YT? It autoplays in the home screen even when that’s disabled, for example.
IDK, I’ll explore this a little more when I get some more time.
I do wonder what shit ass rogue developer you’re referring to o.0 I haven’t kept up with any ReVanced-related drama or anything.
- Comment on Reddit advertising "Real people" 4 weeks ago:
ReVanced tbh
- Comment on Clarence 4 weeks ago:
Clarence is the only accurate one somehow.
- Comment on A couple mates and I run askhistorians.lemmy.world. How can we get more people to post instead of myself all the time? 4 weeks ago:
I agree with the other commenters. There’s really no good way to do this… You need both lots of people wanting to ask historians stuff and lots of historians willing to answer people’s questions. Lemmy lacks both!!
I’m not sure there really is a need for that right now, anyway. The reason there’s even a need for such specific comms is because generalistic comms get overburdened and messy, I’d say. Lemmy doesn’t have that issue because there aren’t enough people asking questions for it to be an issue, so there is no real need for an askhistorians comm.
Mind you, I think it’s cool, and if Lemmy grows it may become useful as well, so I do think it’s good that you started it.

Is this comic not reasonable? Immigrants are generally honest and hard-working, as well as more desperate and less secure (without safety networks), so they are willing to work for lower wages. The issue is that people are underpaid; businesses are subsidized by desperation. We need strong unions and we need to integrate immigrants into unions to strengthen labour’s power to demand fair recompense.
That’s what I get from this comic… Is that not the intention?
