Bet you could hack one of these together with a Raspberry Pi plus camera module. Not exactly a low effort project though.

It’s not sexist, it’s threatening.

While you may mean well, the vast majority of times a woman is complemented by an acquaintance or stranger, it’s because that person is trying to hit on the woman.

You might think “shouldn’t that be flattering?” No, it really isn’t. Every single woman I know has countless stories about how they have been harassed by desperate men trying to get into their pants. If you could barely walk into a public place without random strangers harassing you, you’d be soured on the idea too. To further compound the problem, men are on average bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than women.

So as an example, I was out with my girlfriend once, walking down a crowded street. There was a group of people we had to walk around so we went single file. In less than 30 seconds, she already had some shitty man cat calling her with loaded compliments. I shoved some people aside to make sure I was standing next to her again and he shut up immediately. This is just a fact of life for most women.

Men may not understand this because they only very rarely receive random compliments, but it hits very different as a woman.

There is an appropriate time to compliment women, and it’s after you have already built up a trusting friendship. Besides, a compliment means more coming from a friend than a stranger.

It takes a lot of guts to omit the /s these days. You can never be quite sure who’s funny and who’s just an idiot.

Celeste is pretty cute but can get quite difficult if you try to complete everything.

I was under the impression that while streaming was garbage for money that touring was the cash cow. Apparently it’s a loss for these artists. It makes me sad that all the profits get vacuumed up by everybody but the artist.

I mean, it could be a manual photoshop job. Just because it’s not AI doesn’t mean it’s real.

But also the detector is probably wrong - it’s likely an AI image using a different model than the detector was trained to detect.

Open source software is the wokest shit possible… It’s pretty much digital communism run by the gayest furries you’ll ever meet.

So, you’ve always been able to sideload apps on Android, Google is just using unfair practices to stop other people’s app stores from being popular.

When does this ruling affect Apple, who actually has a monopoly on their store?

Ah yes, suing your customers is a brilliant way to get more people to buy your stuff.

I have never once called my dog “sir”. This is a sensationalized headline to the maximum.

Tesla would do well to distance themselves from Musk, for a lot of reasons. But it may be too late - the damage to their reputation may already be fatal.
