The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

Clockwise from top left:
1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.”

2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”.

3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.”

4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

I'd also recommend Hardcover (@hardcover.app)! It's made by an indie dev and is very big on community

Wow, what a horrific typo. Right on the cover.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists.

But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

i'm in the process of making a flake that provides a bunch of custom components & modules for home-asssitant !

so far i've added a couple components, a couple lovelace modules, and i've sorted out some messy python deps.

the real question remains: will this work when consumed in another flake ???

Not wanting your voice being used to train a model is a very different sentiment than not being able to imagine a use case.

What do you mean? I can imagine that many users might appreciate their videos being automatically translated into multiple other languages.

Removed? It's still very possible to upload your own transcripts, but I think that fewer people take the time to do it as they've decided that the auto-generated ones are "good enough".

there were so many other issues too, I couldn't dismiss the UI when viewing images, crashing when opening posts with embeds, taking ~15 seconds to react after pressing the back button, etc.

holy shit guys I just manually updated the bluesky android app and the app is good now??? how long ago was the last update I received??

I should have known something was off when I noticed that "SANDBOX" was in the background of every post, or maybe the ~15 second delays when interacting sometimes
