That's the Australian possum! A cutie but a different animal from the Virginia opossum. I'm not sure they make any sounds at all, honestly.

Edit: Apparently they make similar hostile noises? Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqHyBZkYafc

I just hope they both have a lot of fun!

I mean, your non-vote for her is a vote for Trump

Not everyone responds well to having absurdities leveled at them.

200M barely gets you a penthouse at in this monstrosity. That's peanuts.

If forced to characterize the attitude of lemmy towards LLM/"AI," I'd say people here are broadly interested in the tech but critical of the way it's often used.

You know, they could be. But I agree right now they aren't.

Personally, I don't think it matters in this case. It's not like we had a robust primary from the Dems this time around.

I like Waterfox. I don't care about vertical or tree style tabs, but I like the extra UI options and the reasonable defaults.

The way I remember "discovery" working on Napster was when someone incorrectly labeled unrelated music as by an artist you searched for. Wow, new music!

You gotta host your own instance so that when it disappears you can only be disappointed in yourself.

Yeah, I was just taking the challenge of trying to rationalize it.

I think it's perfectly capable of being used to make a compelling game, but Starfield seems to be a game for which the strengths of the engine AND the strengths of the writers and designers at Bethesda are completely mismatched.

Personally, it's the implausibility of 2 that makes all of this seem like no big deal to me. In fact, I think federating openly with Threads might signal to Threads users that they can use alternatives and not lose access to whomever they follow on Threads, thus growing the user-base of other federated instances.

I think people who are going to use Threads for Meta-specific features are likely going to use Threads anyway, and if any of those features are genuinely good (i.e. not simply Instagram and Facebook tie-ins) they will be replicated by the various open Fediverse projects which already differ from one another in terms of features.

The moderation issue is entirely different and there are some instances that have an understanding with their users about protecting them from seeing any objectionable content or behavior as defined by whatever culture they have. Defederating from such a large group of people makes sense, perhaps even preemptively, no different from when they defederate existing large instances now.
