Upvoted with the assumption that there is a hidden /s.

And so it begins. How long until Lemmy will be forced to verify age?

can’t use the same signing keys as a Google Play release, which they should never have been doing anyway

VPNs will be forbidden, age will be verified.

Coincidence that all are gaining traction?

This just shows that bananas and mud are materials for excellent audio equipment. I am looking forward to my gold-plated banana.

“support for common-sense policies and candidates”

They were early investors into Reddit.

They simply string words together according to statistical likelihood, without having any notion of what the words mean

What gives you the confidence that you don’t do the same?

The /s was needed for me. There are already more old people than the available doctors can handle. Instead of having nothing what’s wrong with an AI baseline?
