ZDL@lazysoci.alto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•What Are The Non-American Alternatives to Crunchyroll?English2·2 days agoThe issue isn’t who owns it but rather who gets money. Crunchyroll, while it is owned by Sony, is based in the USA so part of the revenue it takes in goes to it’s US operations: staff, servers, marketing, customer service, etc.
For people who don’t want to give anything to Americans, looking for an alternative is a sound idea.
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•What Are The Non-American Alternatives to Crunchyroll?English11·2 days agoHere’s some waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more plausible alternative explanations:
-
You didn’t read either the full post nor the group it was in and smarmily listed a bunch of American options.
-
You intended some kind of sarcastic observation but fumbled it because you are a shit writer.
Me, I’m leaning toward #2, actually. I’ll give you the benefit of some doubt. But you’re still a shit writer.

ZDL@lazysoci.alto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•What Are The Non-American Alternatives to Crunchyroll?English1·2 days agoNo. We read it. We understood it. You were wrong. And you answered in the wrong way for the wrong reason.
Shit, your backpedaling is going to result in lethal whiplash at this rate!
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•What Are The Non-American Alternatives to Crunchyroll?English11·2 days agoSo you listed six “options” that are absolutely in direct opposition to what the OP wants and what this group is about and think you are on the moral high horse?
Wattamaroon.
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•FCC to Appoint a Babysitter to Make Sure CBS Isn't Anti-TrumpEnglish142·3 days agosigh
The sound of jackboots marching in lockstep is something people with an ear for them could hear in the '90s already. Trump is an expression of American culture rot—a symptom—not the cause.
The cause of the USA’s decline dates a lot further back than 2015. It dates back to the Southern Strategy that began when I was only beginning to get out of diapers. And the blame falls squarely on the architects of it, as well as those who sleep-walked through the subsequent decades of obvious rising fascism.
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Anthropic Faces Potentially “Business-Ending” Copyright Lawsuit33·3 days agoI’ll believe that the USA will allow this business to end when I see it. For some bizarre reason the PTBs in the USAnal government is massively hard on this idiot technology.
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•FCC to Appoint a Babysitter to Make Sure CBS Isn't Anti-TrumpEnglish42·3 days agoAnnouncer: In the latest news, China has placed one of its television networks under stricter government control, setting up a Party official to monitor its broadcasts for an anti-gove…
(Frantic whispering from off-camera.)
Announcer: (to the off-screen voice) What? The USA? CBS? FCC?
(Continued whispering from off-camera.)
Announcer: (to camera) In these glorious United States of America, the government has decided that the collection of biased traitors at CBS will be monitored by a special office of the FCC to ensure they do not report negatively about our Great Leader.

Manosphere whining detected.
Shields engaged.
Now all you have to do is provide a convincing business model that shows profitability with these clusterfuck satellite arrays.
(Hint: this is not possible.)
Dr. Collier is one of the people I love best on Youtube!
Yeah, this amazes me everywhere. The Chinese government also wants people to have more children.
But children are fucking EXPENSIVE. Having just one child, once only school fees are taken into account, is so expensive that most families see a significant drop in their lifestyle from having one. This doesn’t include food, clothing, medical care, etc. Just school fees take middle class people and make them live unskilled labour lifestyles. (You can imagine what it does to unskilled labour…)
If the Chinese government wants people to have more children, they’re going to have to address that somehow. Like free schooling. Free healthcare. Maybe also fix the education system so that there’s not this perceived need for thousands of hours of expensive cram schools. That kind of thing.
And then we have the Big Brains of Business sounding the same alarm. All while they do everything in their power to make people poorer and poorer so that even in the west people simply can’t afford to have children. But they want people to have more children.
This is literally insane to me.
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Enough Musk Spam@lemmy.world•Musk Loses $12 Billion After Tesla’s Historic Revenue Drop2·4 days agoPossibly around the 275 price point, more likely at the 250, and almost certainly before 200.
If those numbers keep going down, he’ll be facing margin calls and a death spiral.
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•One in six US workers pretends to use AI to please the bosses4·5 days agoMy boss is pretty decent. He gets dumb ideas (like we all do), but he recognizes when they fail and doesn’t try to force them for face-saving. It’s because of that that we survived the COVID-19 disasater and the pivot away from American clients (my initiative) without disappearing. He doesn’t appear to have the usual ego of a businessman.
… Really? Please explain.
It’s not “Distance Raptor” or “Time Raptor” or even “Veloci Raptor”. It’s Distanceraptor. All one word. Or Timeraptor or Velociraptor.
I mean otherwise it would be:

imeraptorAnd that leaves us with:

ZDL@lazysoci.alto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•One in six US workers pretends to use AI to please the bosses27·6 days agoMy boss tried to get everybody to use LLMbeciles for work. He was taken in by the fakery and set up a commercial OpenAI account.
I refused to use it. Ever. Like to the point that I never even collected my ID and password.
Others used it, but it was, as always, a time-waster where it looked like they were making gains at the start, only to get bogged down when important details entered the picture. So I quietly got my work done while others wrestled with AI. Then by the end of six weeks nobody was using it and my boss quietly shut down the account.
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Researchers from top AI labs warn they may be losing the ability to understand advanced AI models8·6 days agoThey actually believe their own press and think their “reasoning” models say anything meaningful when they “explain” their “reasoning”?
Wow! I could be a top AI researcher too and I don’t even know how to begin programming a computer!
ZDL@lazysoci.alto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•Drop The Imperialist Ambitions And Make Your Democracy Stronger Than It Ever was Before And Then We Will Talk!English2·6 days agoNot me. The Democrats are not a whole lot better. I mean make no mistake they’re better than the Republicans … but not by as much as they should be.
I loved that video. Such a volume of low-energy snark that it added up to high-energy snark.
