A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

Weird news:
I use Calibre.
I suspect that rather than being predators, it is the children themselves who do it.
How tech-literate are those toddlers?
They are developing their own extremist-infused AI models, and are already experimenting with novel ways to leverage the technology, including producing blueprints for 3D weapons and recipes for making bombs.
Given thr way AI is prone to hallucinations, they should definitely have a go at building them. Might solve our problems for us.
So the idea to make people think that Nazis are using AI, might have come from a Nazi AI? 🤯
Is this dead? The connection just times out.
I have also since this post purchased MMwave sensors. But they’re worse for picking up the cats.
You can fine tune some and the Aqara FP2 seems to do a good job ignoring pets.
I ended up making binary sensors for each room in Node Red. Did I leave the room? Who else is there, nobody? Ok mark it clear…
Why not use mmWave presence sensors?
How to work with someone that regularly arrives as the wrong answer?
Yes.
Good second half too:
That search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.
It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.
I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.
And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.
For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on
That’s why we are all here.
It’s interesting to think that Big Tech might just move on from the Web, leaving it to us ordinary humans to go back to the way we were doing it in Web 1.0 just with fancier tools at our disposal. I quite like the idea.
Got pretty tired of playing furry porn community whackamole.
Coincidentally, the furry porn whack-off-a-mole community is not very popular.
I don’t block any but, as an Admin, I tend to check on all communities (theoretically) in case there’s shenanigans. As I am on a smaller instance Local is manageable and then I use Subscribed. All is too much of a firehose of content to use much. So I am more opt-in than opt-out.
My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)
Glad you like it.
And being antifeminist doesn’t even benefit them that much.
The only people benefitting are those peddling the lies to disgruntled young men, partly as a grift and partly as misdirection from the real sources of their issues.
But at the same time I don’t see how much people who are not cis men can do so much to really help them.
And it shouldn’t be your job to fix young men but I am as stumped as you and I worry about people like my nephew who is early teens.
There’s !mensliberation@lemmy.ca but I don’t know if that’s not just preaching to the converted.
My point was that cishet men may have it hard to find someone because they are not catching up with progressive and emancipatory values.
It’s worse than that - things seem to be regressing, with a widening political divide between men and women, especially noticeable in the younger adults.
It definitely feels like the modest progress that was made is now being eroded away
It depends on your definition but Visitor Q by Takashi Miike would probably offend most people. His other films can be rather out-there too.
Also the splatterpunk films of Yoshihiro Nishimura rank high. If you want a distilled taste, see “Z is for Zetsumetsu” in ABCs of Death. Otherwise, try Tokyo Gore Police.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man actually caused me to have palpitations, and it’s rare I have such a physical reaction to a film.
And that’s just Japan, you could always try something like Adam Chaplin.
However, they tend to be so over-the-top that they are entertaining. If you want to watch something that’s an ordeal to get through then you could start with the August Underground films. There are others in the same vein like Tumbling Doll of Flesh or Guinea Pig: Flowers of Flesh and Blood. You can then grub around looking for similar films as there’s always someone out there trying to be more appalling. However, it’s not really my cup of tea - the worst I’ve seen in the cinema is probably Necromantic last Valentine’s Day, which got quite a few walk-outs, although my main issue was it seemed far too loud.
I must admit, I laughed at the final scene - the whole film came off as trying too hard to be edgy and it tipped over into stupidity. Also the ending is very like that of
Kill List
Which did it better.
It feels like there’s an opportunity for shenanigans here.
I have it timed so I live home at the “start” time. As ads plus trailers are now 25-30 minutes, I usually arrive in time for the trailers.
Sometimes other bodily fluids.
