I see this. There was another thread today where people were discussing if stuff like this counts as a “meme” or if it’s off topic for this page. I’ll be making a pinned post for community input tomorrow about a potential new rule. Stay tuned.

I see a bit of both sides being argued in the comments here. We don’t have a clear rule about this atm, so removals have been inconsistent and case-by-case, often based on reports.

Maybe I’ll start and pin a discussion thread about this during the week (when we’ll get the most eyes on it) and see what the wider community wants, and if desired, maybe we can come up with a rule wording that isn’t too restrictive, but removes stuff that genuinely feels “off topic” for a memes page.

I’m running PopOS and Debian with Nvidia cards that should be affected by this, if I’m understanding this right. Ugh.

What a pain.

Isn’t this P3?

Piefed has been going slow for me for the past week. Not sure why, so I just swapped back here for a few days and will try again soon.

It was just so much simpler then. Aside from the viruses.

Well that’s much better

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

Or

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

Go for it! I stole this anyway.

It’s real, but it went viral and they got a ton of backlash online for it a few years ago.

Just did some digging, and it’s legit and from a 1994 book called “The Internet Guide for New Users” by Daniel P. Dern.

Mildly interesting side-note, I found someone’s blog about posting this image and book to a (now non-existent) fediverse server. https://doughnut.neocities.org/blag/15

I love my Logitech G502, which I’m sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it’s pretty popular.

I’m still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.

Oh!

Oh.

I honestly have no idea where this originated, but it looks like it’s been everywhere, has t-shirts and posters, etc.

It’s back, especially with Gen Z, I think. Tobacco companies always seem to find a way.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go by ‘Rich’ or ‘Richie’ instead?”

“Yeah, I’m sure.”

You know, I just made a PieFed account and haven’t customized it yet. Maybe using an alternate timeline banner like that would be fitting.

(If PieFed has banners. I haven’t really explored all the options.)
