Seriously. At first I wondered if this was a gag like the Pac Man movie trailer a while back.

Is your 747 in the shop or something?
Call the cops and say there's a suspicious man with a funny accent displaying signs of excited delirium, and they'll make sure the paramedics shoot him up with enough to get the job done.
What about buying a Tesla with "Full Self-Driving"... and then projecting onto Musk an image of a wide open road and letting the Tesla do the rest?
He'll carry on doing that in his spare time, as a labour of love.
Thanks for the info.
Not sure what your use case for Copilot is, but if you have sufficiently powerful hardware (preferably with a GPU), you can download and install an LLM of your choice (e.g. a European one like Mixtral) and run it on your own computer.
E.g.
I mainly remember him as the guy whose lawsuit crippled hip-hop.
You might want to edit your original post and add the link there, too.
Listening to it now, thanks.
I have a couple of non-US playlists myself:
- Rock'n'Roll for Good Times - ROTW mostly fun classic rock, mainly in English, some in Spanish etc.
- No Yankcent - various genres, sung in English with neither a real nor a fake US accent.
Netcraft now confirms: BSD is dying.
Over the last couple of days, a few posts on Lemmy led me to read more about:
- Alternatives to (US-based) Wikipedia (triggered by a few comments in this /c)
- Gamergate & Rabid Puppies
Thus I found out about Infogalactic (I won't link to it); it's a fork of Wikipedia created by a far-right white supremacist mysogynist "Vox Day" (a sci fi author and publisher who tried to rig the Hugo Awards to show his disdain for non-white, non-male authors) so as to have an encyclopaedia free of "the left-wing thought police who administer [Wikipedia]".
Trying out Mojeek today, I did a search (population of Rome through history) and an Infogalactic page (History of Rome) was the 6th result.
Not only was a far right website I had never seen before in the 8 years of its existence one of the top results, but the Wikipedia page it forked is nowhere to be found.
- Is this common with Mojeek?
- Are there ways to adjust its settings so as to not return far right search results?
- And should we just stop recommending Mojeek as an alternative to US search engines as long as it does return far right search results to ordinary search queries?
Not sure if this is relevant here.
My tolerance for people faking a US accent when they sing has declined over the years, so a while back I started making a Spotify playlist with tracks where the (usually native English-speaker) vocalist sings in English with their real accent instead of a fake US one. And I called it "No Yankcent".

Maybe people have some tracks they can suggest.

Exploring free-gratis channels on my Roku, I came across this "neo-noir erotic thriller", with a martial arts serial killer going after strippers managed by a "mob-adjacent" ex-boxer. Just seeing Tom Berenger and Billy Dee Williams in the cast list was enough to get me to start watching.
Then the opening theme starts... "hey, isn't that David Johansen singing?" Sure enough, it was. The theme is even titled "New York Doll".
And the cast kept coming: Melanie Griffith, B-movie stalwart Jack Scalia, Rossano Brazzi (from South Pacific!), Rae Dawn Chong, María Conchita Alonso (as just Maria Conchita), Joe Santos (Rockford FIles), Michael V. Gazzo (Last Action Hero), Daniel Faraldo (Above the Law), Juan Fernández (slick Latino bad guy in lots of 80s & 90s stuff), Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco) and then "Directed by Abel Ferrara". Awesome!
And really starring... NYC at its seediest.
EDIT: I found the website for the Roku channel where I found Fear City, it's called Free Movies +.
- https://www.freemoviesplus.com/ (viewable on Roku, Fire TV, Vizio and web)
- FreeMovies +: Fear City
Not a great selection (used to be much better a couple of years ago) but has some gems among the dross.
OTT Studio, the company behind Free Movies +, has some more free channels, e.g. Action Plus, Horror +, VHS + etc (which share a lot of content), mainly viewable on certain devices (e.g. Roku, Vizio TVs, Fire TV), but some are also viewable in web browsers.
I see the (Roku & Vizio only) Classic Movies + channel has Abel Ferrara's début feature, the original 'video nasty', Driller Killer.
Availability of these channels and movies on them probably varies according to which country you are in. For some films, I get "Playback unavailable" errors. As far as I know, it's legal. Apparently ad-supported, although I have almost never seen an ad (using a Roku, without Pi-hole or any ad-blocker).
