That's a great picture. What lens/setting were used?

I might be mistaken but wasn't the asbestos ban lifted by Trump in his first term and Biden just reinstalled the ban?

Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who have still never heard of Lemmy on Reddit. I mentioned it in a post about this and got flooded with people asking me what Lemmy is and how to sign up.

I hope lemmy servers are ready for another population boom.

Nothing blows my mind more then someone deciding that today theyre going to crawl out of bed and go counter protest people wanting equal rights.

Madison was saying that blacks in the south were enslaved and couldn't vote. They made up a significant portion of the southern states population which put them at a disadvantage giving them poor representation.

Hey now, we don't want an actual democracy now do we? Think of the corporations. With all these broken up powers it's going to get really expensive to bribe them all to subvert the will of the people.

My point exactly. They originated as a open initiative to make AI open and accessible to everyone. Hence their name. Greed made them change their stance and now they are only open in name.

Trolls will be trolls. There are millions of foss projects that function as community efforts and thrive. As another example, have you ever used Wikipedia?

Maybe if OpenAI didn't suddenly decide not to be open when they got in bed with Micro$oft, they could just make it a community effort. I own a copyrighted work that the AI hasn't been feed yet, so I loan it as training and you do the same. They could have made it an open initiative. Missed opportunity from a greedy company. Push the boundaries of technology, and we can all reap the rewards.

Wasn't really all that long ago when non-black people very commonly used that word in public and probably still so in certain communities. Having said that, obese is a medical term and I don't think it compares in anyway to the n-word.

I think 'complacent' is a better term than 'docile.' The upper class has put significant time and effort into making everyone else believe that their actions won't make any meaningful difference, and it's worked just as planned.
