I think this is a fake quote that somebody made up for an Internet comedy bit, since it seems unlikely for Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney to have such uncharacteristically strong opinion on software version control, of all things.

Because she of all people would know that there isn’t anything wrong with using git merge, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference to what you are used to.

Look for Goodyear welted boots, if the soles wear out, you can take it to a cobbler to resole them.

Here’s one that’s lazy, pretty much foolproof, and uses all canned food from the pantry. (If you know what it’s called, good for you.)

1. Add oil to stockpot, put in anchovies, dried red pepper, and garlic, fry it up a little bit until it smells good.
2. Add in a can of crushed tomatoes, drained olives, and caper. Boil, then simmer.
3. Cook some spaghetti to al dente(approximately 6-7 minute, SALT THE WATER, DON’T OIL THE WATER)
4. Drain the pasta and mix into sauce, add olive oil and Parmesan to taste, serve.

A magical school sim/manager. Imagine how cool it would be to build your own Hogwarts with moving staircases and hidden rooms and passageway, and watch the world of magic come alive as students go about their daily school life.

That, or an actually good AAA Barbie game.

In general, drunk me is the last person I would ever trust with literally anything.

It’s like waking up in the morning and reading your own drunk text messages.

If they only appreciate me enough to hand me my Oscar this year…

Instagram had slowly morphed from a website to share artsy filtered cell photos to an advertisement platform, where people are turning themselves into characters living the perfectly imperfect life on social media, in an attempt to turn themselves into living advertisements, to buy and sell products, Every photo (especially the natural looking ones) is carefully shot, curated and edited by a team to imitate authenticity, no different than shooting a movie or a TV show.

So then, what happens if that role of a living advertisment can automated by machines, equally as heartless and unrealistic as these performance of perfect daily lives on Instagram? Why go through the efforts, the hours and manpower, to conduct the photoshoots and Photoshops for that one perfectly imperfect targeted post, when anyone with a modern GPU can effortlessly make thousands of machine generated pictures with way less work in the same timeframe?

Why should the role of “social media influencer” even exist then?

I’ve been unhappy about the state of social media for a long time now. But as it appears, the role of the social media influencer, as the lowest common denominator of photography, will be the first to be rendered redundant by AI automation, which brings me hope that in time, social media can be brought back to what originally was: a place for people to talk to people.

Winning an Oscar for the first time! (Hopefully)

Love it. Unions got us to where we are, and we are thankful for them.

Strikes work.

But that’s what custom emojis essentially are, small pictures you can embed into text, just like with Twitch emotes.

Never been on Hexbear before, eh?

Ask your admins to implement some emojis. We have them on LW, but nobody ever really use them. Just a culture thing I guess.

1. Memes. I don’t know how it works either so I’m just going with it.

2. I’m sure he would appreciate the sincere thoughts of you as his friend more than a social media comment left by a complete stranger from the Internet. Which is what this is.

Still, hi Rome!

Looks like I completely dissappeared into the role of “average Lemmy user” here.

That’s called acting.

Aw shucks, thanks.

Wait, no, now my cover is blown. 😭

Not to brag or anything, but I’m pretty good at both science AND memes.

The best purchase I’ve made this year has to be the tickets for the “Barbie” movie on opening day July 21st. As I watched the movie in theater (the best way to watch a movie), I was literally moved to tears by the performance of the lead actress, whom I might add, deserves an Oscar this year.

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, will definitely be buying “Barbie” on Blu-ray to have it in my collection.

Multiple copies, in fact.

Especially when your identity on Signal is STILL only tied to a phone number, instead of a username, and there is nothing less private than actually giving out your real phone number.

Absolutely baffling.

Yay

He fumed in another all-caps post that “THE CHILDLESS, UNMARRIED ABORTION ARMY MOBILIZED BY BARBIE, TAYLOR SWIFT, AND TIKTOK” was “CRUSHING REPUBLICANS AT THE BALLOT BOX.”

You are goddamn right it is.

I am inevitable.

Great episode.
