Mark Zuckerberg is a dork.

When the hell did they make a brown palette-swapped ninja?!

Sure, Marge, let’s do it. Now show us how many rubles you’ve got.

Yeah, sorry for being snarky, but the Fediverse refers to all federated software. So, Fedia.io for example, is an MBin instance. Which is different than Lemmy and Mastodon but they can all interact with each other. They’re all part of the overall Fediverse. So your comment was just kind of awkwardly phrased and redundant.

Which is both Fediverse and Mastodon.

Well… yeah.

Moscow stands accused of launching a massive campaign of vote buying, funneling cash through its proxies into the accounts of ordinary voters, as well as using social media to sow fears about the prospect of EU membership leading to a direct conflict with Russia.

Watching Putin fail never gets old.

Impossible. I watched the music video for Faith by Limp Bizkit every afternoon on TRL for like three months straight in 7th grade. I was up to my eyeballs in faith!

Hack the planet

Farva : Give me a double bacon cheeseburger.

Burger Guy : [into mic] Double baco cheeseburger. It’s for a cop.

Farva : What the hell’s that all about? You gonna spit in it now?

Burger Guy : No, I just told him that so he makes it good.

[into mic] Burger Guy : Don’t spit in that cop’s burger.

Farva : Yeah, thanks.

Second Burger Guy : Roger, hold the spit.

Farva : Gimme a pie… apple.

Burger Guy : Want me to hold the spit? Hah, just kidding officer Farva.

Burger Guy : Want me to dimpa-size your meal for 25 cents?

Farva : Want me to punch-a-size your face, for free?

Burger Guy : It’s only 25 cents, and look how much more you get.

Thorny : Look, kid, he doesn’t want it.

Farva : I can handle this, Thorn. I don’t want it!

Burger Guy : Uhh, right. Beverage?

Farva : Gimme a litre o’ cola.

Burger Guy : What?

Farva : A litre o’ cola!

Burger Guy : [into mic] Litrecola? Do we sell litrecola?

Thorny : Will you just order a large, Farva?

Farva : I don’t want a large farva. I want a goddamn litre o’ cola!

Burger Guy : I don’t know what that is!

Farva : Litre is French for… give me my fuckin’ cola before I break VOUS FUCKIN’ LIP!

Green power

That’s such a cool idea for a Halloween costume.

It’s likely to just be some randos doing it for the lulz and IA was vulnerable for whatever reason. Book publishers have sadly been enjoying plenty of success in court against IA. They don’t need to get their hands dirty.

Yeah, I’ve see people speculating that it could be some corporate hit-job on behalf of book publishers, and I get it, that exotic possibility is attractive, but reality is usually much more mundane. It’s likely to just be some randos doing it for the lulz and IA was vulnerable for whatever reason. Book publishers have sadly been enjoying plenty of success in court against IA. They don’t need to get their hands dirty.

State-owned news outlet Gazeta(dot)ru reported that the Ukrainian-linked hacker group “sudo rm -RF” was behind the attack.

Edit: Removed direct link.

I recall this being announced earlier in the year, and it’s the result of current (5yr) contracts expiring and not specifically tied to a recent development in the war or anything like that. CERN just decided not to renew contracts with Russian scientists who are solely affiliated with Russian institutes but had to wait for them to run out, and as the article points out, this already happened to scientists from Belarus back in June.

“The other night I was watching this movie — I was watching this movie called Fright Night, Freak Night or some type of night but it was about vampires. I don’t know if you know but vampires are some cool people are they not? But let me tell you something that I found out: a werewolf can kill a vampire did you know that? I never knew that. So I don’t want to be a vampire anymore I wanna be a werewolf.” - Herschel Walker, November 16th 2022
