Ugh, yeah, that’s all the place has become; communities full of unsubstantial news articles for what is only substantial news a small amount of the time.

Lemmy is like 80% really shitty newspaper, 18% hollow rooms, and 2% community.

B> ut the court found that, unlike traditional search engines that merely present lists of links to third-party statements, Google’s tool made “independent, new, and substantive statements” based on its own misinterpretation of links on the Internet.

That’s a problem, the court said, because while publishers may have been able to sue to stop third parties from publishing defamatory statements appearing in Google search results, only Google can correct the underlying algorithm and outputs displayed in AI Overviews. And because, at least initially, the company did not, it therefore “must be held accountable,” the court ruled. Beyond that, Google’s argument was deemed particularly weak, since the AI overview in this case “contains statements that do not appear in the search results at all.”

That’s pretty cut and dry, especially for the parties that wew being incorrectly presented in the overview despite letters to Google for cease-and-desist.

So often this sort of thing makes sense because it’s conduct or disruption that are reasons they got kicked out. The topic could be <insert whatever>, but a clickbait title will latch onto that topic if it could be edgy…

The scientists were ejected for handing out copies of an April editorial

…yup. Well, obviously this isn’t one of those times.

I always struggle with villains like that.

There’s the ones that you kind of get swooned by and kinda back their cause, like Agent Smith.

Then there’s the ones that are just bad, but you get it. Some people just be psychopathic.

Then there’s Vecna types and you’re like, “What’s the plan here, huh? You get your way and then what? Nothing’s left to do. Like, at all.”

Sauron’s another one. Ultimate rule and order… Cool-cool. So he gets that and then what? Why? Just sit and watch Middle Earth like a model railway in the back shed for the next few eons? Wooooow.

Yep. Obsidian plugins is like installing Skyrim then thinking, “I’ll just go get the essentials from Nexus Mods…”

Three hours later you have an absolute beast that also does note taking too.

Yeah, Creative Suite era, before Creative Cloud. That for every Adobe product.

All the poor people couldn’t afford cooks; the cooks were their neighbours too.

Well, not American congress. But 2026 America is about as anti-American as any of the modern western parts of the world could fathom.

So American congress is long gone. For at least 25 years now.

If you ever played Ingress, you’d know Pokemon Go is just a skin for it that Niantic applied 3 years later. Literally the same nodes you battle over were now just Pokemon gyms. All the user setup nodes, the proxy battles, landmark nodes, etc. now just Pokemon theme. Literally the same game, but got Pokemon skin.

So unless catching Pokemon as a side-game is what the military is just now grabbing onto, I find it hard to believe they just ignored Niantics’s Ingress structure and mapping for 16 years…

Water or hydration bladder. They go inside all sorts of different packs for basically any activity you’d wear one for.

CamelBak* is a brand name and not a very good one these days.

This definitely isn’t just a female thing. We were all exchanging doctor stories the other night and everyone had ones like this. Weirdly they were all in the past few years and that being gaslit or dismissed by a doctor just feels normal now.

I can’t imagine this doing much else than increasing time spent in the drive thru, for several reasons. Not to mention, someone will still be there as human back up anyway, so why not just not?

Eh, what do I care? I already don’t go to McDonald’s unless I absolutely have to and have carefully weighed up my hunger versus the impending regret.

This comment section is a great example of tribalism. The topic of web browsers always is for some weird reason.

Exactly right, Joe.

During this year’s economic forum, a session on Russian-American cultural ties was headlined by the first U.S. official to attend the event since 2018. The official, Rodney Mims Cook Jr., holds a relatively little known role, as chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts. He is advising the White House on projects that include the ballroom expansion and the proposed triumphal arch in Washington.

Oh, jeez. That just says everything…

.about Ron and the US.

They probably see how many idiots still buy the game just to complain about it for their fifth year in a row, then blow CC debt on their FUT team only to have it all reset a month after they’re finally happy with it; every 12 months.

One of the most poorly user rated games for over half a decade, according to hundreds and thousands of people that hand over way too much money each year like it’ll be any different this time.

FIFA has noticed.

my newer one constantly stops recording due to something.

For a while they kept putting the same old processor in that couldn’t handle the load. GoPros shutting off due to overheating or recording too long was just normal.

Dunno if it’s still the case. I switched to DJI and you can’t even compare the two. Quality, smart design, price, reliability; these are not GoPro things. I record for an hour plus sometimes and just flawless. Don’t have to think about it.

Well if you don’t have a social disorder, compacted aptitude, or egocentric insecurities, it’s normal to immediately admit to it, explain your thought process, and thank them for the new clarity.

It’s easy and always works out great, especially for further discussion and exchanging of ideas.

But if you do have one or more of those other things, you become online entertainment as we watch you and another person just like you slog it out for 20 replies of absolute bullshit🪑🍿 Whether you’re right or not is pointless by then, it’s just the fact you’re still there which should say something.
