How?

I read the article but I don’t understand how bots making and listening to songs to generate royalties for the bot owners affects anyone but the royalty-payers?

Reminds me of a line from The Maxx: “The Crapon-in-a-hat and Jean Paul Satre team up to fight nausea? Sounds like a losing battle to me.”

You’re a troll though. It’s easy to tell because every single post in your comment history is trolling.

I’m gonna block you now but best of luck with your future trolling.

Threaded messages seems fine to me, as you said that usage is more well understood than threadiverse which risks conceptually-centering a billionaire controlled platform.

The existence of threads makes threadiverse an inappropriate name for fediverse content aggregators, is the point I was being overly sarcastic about.

Defederating from threads seems like the best way to make it nice. That way there’s less influence from psychopathic billionaires who happily stoke genocide for clicks.

More like hurricane Charlie.

This is a story of one bootlicking employee who was in desperate need of fucking off and minding his own business:

However, just as the movie started, an employee told them to put their snack bags away, the report said. They agreed but the employee apparently insisted on sitting next to them to monitor the snack situation.

A few minutes later, one of the children popped a Skittle he was already holding into his mouth, and quite frankly, all hell broke loose, the women said. The employee started shouting at them, and said that the police would be called unless they left. This is when the children started crying.

“My niece asked nicely: ‘If you’re calling the police, are they going to kill my mum?’” one of the women told the newspaper. “And he laughed at that stage. He looks directly in her face and he said: ‘Yeah, maybe we’ll find out.’

Oh, that’s it? Thank you! I never would’ve gotten this. I think it was the whole of sponge bob used as a metaphor for a single body part that was throwing me off.

I’ll wear whatever you like 😘

Last week for me.

I still do not get it.

Are his eyes and nose supposed to look like testicles and a penis? They’re upside down if so.

Is it his eyes and the line extending from his head? There’s the square of his head in the way so it just doesn’t look like a penis to me.

I gather it’s somehow penis related, yeah?

How does that relate to the image though?

I think the allusion is probably to clouds, given that project nimbus is amazon and google cloud updating the israeli government’s cloud computing and nimbus is latin for cloud. The israeli government is generally not as big on christian metaphors as the US government is.

Yes. No. Yes. Yes but not gay.

Luckily green text is fiction, no one really did this.

This is probably incorrect. Rocks preserve in the archaeological record so that’s what we have the most evidence for.

Increasingly sophisticated knowledge of woodworking, textile science, plant and animal biology, mathematics and astronomy were no doubt developing alongside knapping techniques, that stuff just doesn’t preserve well.

It’s not fake. @Dasus@lemmy.world is correct. Stone axes, fire control, language, carpentry, glue, ocean travel - heaps of smart things predate homo sapiens sapiens. We’re not the first smart species.

Usually the distinction is between “advanced communication” which some animals display, and “language”, which only humans have.

Whether you want to call it language or advanced language, what we do today is way older than 10k years. There are stories that have been dated to 100k and if the arguments about erectus are correct, then what you call advanced language is probably 2m+ years old.

Language is much older than just 10k years. There’s a few reasons to think that language might have developed with erectus, which could make language 10x older than the ‘human specie’, according to anon.
