Me too. Not going to make something as simple as this difficult.

I want to leave, I leave. Giving others the opportunity to say goodbye is polite in my opinion. A wave to the group and a quick round of hugs if that makes sense.

At a minimum one should say goodbye to the host.

Are people really this dense? It is clearly a nazi salute.

Saying “My heart goes out to you” does not negate the fact that I just showed my middle finger to someone.

Done ✅

I think that is strange as well, the fact that this happened is important in my opinion. That’s why I shared it. The video is great.

If someone finds/hosts it elsewhere I will edit my comment

I don’t hate it either.

It will most likely be an entertaining movie, but no masterpiece. And that is ok.

I’m probably going to watch it. Not in a cinema though, but once I can watch it at home.

I have a different experience. I have not blocked anyone or amt instance. I am om lemmy.world, so that might be it?

I live in Europe, but not in a EU country. Is there anything I can contribute with?

The advantage with democracy is that it is slow and most of the time end up with fairly sensible results. Decisions are often so complex that it is impossible for one person to actually understand it all. A consortium of advisors could fill that role, but they have to be benevolent and trustworthy too. Their decisions have to be based on something, so the advisors need researchers and people gathering intelligence and statistics. Those people also have to be trustworthy.

All these layers have to be with as benevolent as possible. In a well functioning democracy, all layers would feel safe. It is really important to be safe from harm when giving bad news, or telling the dictator/advisors that their idea is really dumb, and would be a waste of resources or have a bad effect.

You could argue that a benevolent dictator would welcome bad news, other arguments. However the difference in power would certainly make it scary anyways.

Succession is another issue, and mental decline. Some people become quite mean in old age.

The closest thing I could envision might work is some sort of semi-democratic technocracy. I still think improving democracy is better though

Why is this being downvoted? Its an unpopular opinion.

Banking compatability by country. In my experience even banking apps not mentioned also work. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

I have been following their advice for years. I have replaced a couple of services with the suggested alternatives, and use GrapheneOS.

It is also useful to check their forum for discussion on why something is added/removed/not added

If you are new to the whole “privacy-thing” my advice would be to start figuring out your own threat model first. They have some guides for that.

Also remember that even though something does not make the cut to be mentioned as a recommendation, it might still be an improvement over what you currently use. The forums are great for discussions regarding that.

Gave you an upvote. This is an unpopular opinion shared on unpopularopinion.

Personally I find AI art to look like “AI-art” if that makes sense. It has this generic look and feel to it. It might just be that people have to prompt it differently to get something that does not look generic.

In my view it can be art, but it is just other peoples art regurgitated by a machine with lots of filtering (to prevent nudity and other things that art historically often contain)

I think the biggest issue with LLMs / AI is that it is a loophole to use other peoples work and avoid copyright and licenses.
