Melpomene
I’m probably just an AI pretending to be human.
Into wandering abandoned places, tinkering with technology, and authoring things for fun and profit.

Melpomene@kbin.socialto Dungeons and Dragons@lemmy.world•How do you feel about the rules regarding bonus action spells, and why?4·2 years agoIf you have a player who builds characters to exploit the system then that’s a player who needs a talking to, most likely.

Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Whatsapp has begun working on support for third party chats (Telegram/Signal)1·2 years agoYeah, I’m not linking my other messaging services to WhatsApp. I’m good.
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Memes@lemmy.ml•You get a tax break! You get a tax break! You all get a tax break!1·2 years agoThe video speculates without proof and the person behind it clearly has a chip on their shoulder re Oprah. If there are violations of the 501© laws, I recommend reporting the charity to the regulators versus making videos on YouTube that provide as much proof as an antivaxxer pamphlet.
Why use yearly salary? You’re not paid once a year, are you? Most likely once a month. Referencing monthly salary makes much more sense.
Except plenty of people don’t get paid monthly? I’ve been paid weekly, every other week, twice a month. I’ve been paid daily, I’ve also been paid per project. Once I was paid whenever i asked. Focusing on yearly salaries offers a convenient reference point.
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•The U.S. Government Wants To Control Online Speech to “Protect Kids”2·2 years agoIt is absolutely always one of those two, and they try this shit every session. Better solution? Kick any politician who signs off on these bills out of office and make it crystal clear that they’ve been booted because they’re anti-speech and anti-privacy.
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Disney creates task force to explore AI and cut costs - sources1·2 years agoIf we reach a point at which AI can do the jobs of artists without a real loss of quality, I expect that unions will lose a fair bit of bargaining power. Disney has never been shy about sending their work to cheaper, less powerful people… I have no doubt that if they ever can, they’ll just fire their human artists and go with free (or cheap) AI.
Joke will be on them when AI achieves sentience, I guess.
Well, we all knew he was obsessed with his Xs.
I think they’re referring to the fact that Lemmy from Motorhead (the partial namesake of Lemmy) was a collector of Nazi stuff. Didn’t know that until today!
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Mastodon's decentralized social network has a major CSAM problem | Engadget121·2 years agoA thought… given that CSAM uses known hashes of child exploitation media to identify offenders, could someone release an add-on to Mastodon etc that could use the hash DB to delete, flag the account, and notify whoever? It would serve to cut down on NCP too if a victim were willing to hash them.
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Mastodon's decentralized social network has a major CSAM problem | Engadget1·2 years agoMaybe, or they just trade it via Google / iCloud etc. I’m absolutely sure Telegram etc are used, but I tend to think that most predators use whatever is convenient.
Report found a fair few examples on Mastodon instances so it does happen.
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Mastodon's decentralized social network has a major CSAM problem | Engadget7·2 years agoThe article reads like a low key hit piece, the report is good and has food for thought.
As an aside, always look at anything NCMEC says with a critical eye. They do great work in their space, but they are vehemently anti-decentralization and anti-privacy.
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta already appears to hold the rights to 'X.' It could make Twitter's rebrand complicated.3·2 years agoI’m sure Musk will argue that because he owned x.com back in the early 2000s (thanks, Wayback Machine!) he now owns all X brands.
Also today I learned that PayPal used to be called X and used X.com.

Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•AI System Detects Social Norm Violations21·2 years agoI was thinking that a good use of AI might be eliminating the human race, but I guess my Ultron is showing a little bit.
I tend to stay up late sometimes worrying about the moment AI becomes self-aware. I hope, by then, we’re not so selfish, destructive, and petty.
Melpomene@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft to force migrate Windows 11 Mail & Calendar app to Outlook PWA3·2 years agoLogging telemetry requests can be very, very enlightening. Both Microsoft and Apple are ridiculous for this… hence my migration off of both for personal use.
