The other day, I made a post about Firefox's web extensions, specifically for YouTube. A lot of people pointed out Mozilla's recent TOS update, which pertains to selling personal data. I noticed there were no suggestions, though. What alternative would you suggest, Lemmy?

Imagine having access to an AI system like the "What-If Machine" from Futurama that could instantly generate any type of media content. What would you create with such power at your fingertips?

Personally, I'd be tempted to remake the Star Wars sequel trilogy. With AI, we could explore some of the unused ideas from George Lucas' original vision, like Darth Maul returning as a crime lord or Luke rebuilding the Jedi Order.

What about you? Would you recreate existing franchises, generate entirely new content, or use it for more practical applications? Share your ideas below!

Some potential uses to consider:

  • Reimagining your favorite books as TV series or movies
  • Creating personalized music in any genre
  • Generating realistic virtual worlds for gaming or VR experiences
  • Producing educational content on complex topics

Piefedi, lemmy, fediverse? I want to share them as reddit alternatives but their naming is super cringe. Did people find Reddit’s naming choice poor in the beginning?

Title. I’m fairly confident it has not helped my gums be less sensitive in any regard.

Every drop of water, crack, ant, royally freaks me out at this point. I can't afford to rent. I own a shitty house that is a fixer upper. So frustrating.

my (genderfluid, 19) partner (19f/19nb) is so beautiful, i swear.

she has this quiet snoring when we sleep at each other’s houses (think a cat purring sound/a deep sigh through the nose).

she literally looks like sleeping beauty, even if she snores, and she (usually lies on her back and) faces me when she sleeps.

their hair is long and they wear a nightgown so it kind of adds to the royalty look

Curious to get the pulse from lemmy on where y'all look to for your various sources of news.

I got baited into posting a picture of a child eating Popcorn on Discord, not knowing it was associated with CSAM. The account got banned, but I dont care about it but more about the legal consequences. Has anyone heard of legal action against people posting it?

I used to swear a lot. I decided to not swear at all (except for possibly mild swears), instead replacing most swears with minced oaths.

My family is Christian and I would get yelled at for swearing even if it just slipped out. So far, I don’t swear unless I’m feeling a strong emotion or acting impulsively, but I’ll usually say things like “F/eff” or “fudge” instead of the F-word.

I like to be “creative”, so my go-tos are usually “Go fudge yourself”, or “What the cluck?”

I might say “mother lover” instead of MF

If I wanted to chill like a villain in Mordor, what music would help with that?

All I can think of is like fiery places like Fire Temple from Ocarina of Time lmao

Please only chill stuff and yes I know Mordor is practically antithetical to chill, make it work haha

If I were to, hypothetically, want to weld my asshole shut, how should I go about doing this? Is it even possible? What might be the repercussions of doing this?

For context, I have zero experience in welding and the human anatomy so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any good examples that I know of, but I am very curious. To me though, a rivalry is a rivalry when two or more of people are closely competitive. But is it really a rivalry anymore when someone has more victories over the other? I don't think so.

This is a continuation and spinning off of my previous post on natural ambient phenomena and also executive/desk toys, but the focus here is on manmade things that provide a repetitive yet dynamic and "ambient" scene thru the performance of whatever they are both contrived to and naturally do

this happens in Germany. I know our healthcare systems are different but there are way more north American members on lemmy than German ones. I'm simply listening to points of view. What a physician assistant does is fairly the same in both countries.

As said, I'm a nurse working bedside and I don't plan to this sometimes sh*tjob for the rest of my life. I don't like dealing with my coworker's petty problems and their need to talk and criticize people behind their backs.

Reasons to study PA are I'm cerebral and prefer to read and learn than to talk, I like knowing my medicines and therapies, interpreting EKGs, explaining to patients what they should and shouldn't do, checking labor parameters to decide if we have to increase or decrease an antibiotic... I don't want to work bedside with a growing old, overweight and demented patient population (already punched twice and proposed to have sex 2 times as well). I don't want to be ridiculed by my coworkers each time I open a book to read about medicine simply because I want to know more.

Doctors where I am are usually mature coworkers. I don't mean all doctors are grown ups (they are not) but there are more grown ups among the doctors than among the nurses: nurses I work with love to talk about sex and tiktok and going to smoke whereas doctors usually talk about patients and therapies, at least most of them when I hear them.

Overall doctors seem to be less chatty with less drama and more professional, more grown up.

I know that as a PA I'm not a doctor and I'd only earn EUR 300 per month more than now as a nurse and I'm still thinking if it pays to study 3 years to earn just a bit more, not really much more but hopefully work with grown ups.

This is not something I'd pay myself but I'd have to find a hospital that offers a bachelor as a PA as a so called Duales Studium where you work 50% and study the other 50% but you still receive your normal salary, but for this I'd have to move 200 km south.

If you're a PA or plan to become one, am I being naive? Is there really less drama?

Do you regret it?

I am making a Public repo for the first time. It's not mutch , just a script to setup a podman container. But i am afraid of people messing up their devices and blaming me 😅. Do you guys think i should put a disclaimer in the main page of the repo? If yes, what kind of disclaimer should i use? I've never really dived into the legal side of things.

Bonus points if it has a good story. Also, I'm not going to play DRM-controlled games

For me it was the fact that I would always be slower than everyone else and I would have to put in twice the effort.

A couple weeks ago, I deleted social media off my phone. Insta and reddit was all that was left, but I noticed how much of a useless time sink they were becoming. My daily mood has also improved.

Now, I've been reading manga and playing chess online to fill the gap. But I'm still looking for suggestions on what else there is to do besides doom scroll. It's not like I'm outlawing the internet entirely, I still have interests and hobbies etc, but I'm open to just about anything.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I need more general recommendations.
