Ah, a man of culture! But this colour is too greenish, I think

Going off QuinnyCoded’s comment, I’d speculate the song is used in some antisemitic meme TikTok video or something similar. Kind of like Little Dark Age getting associated with nazi Hyperborea fantasies.

Coyote Brown seems closer

Edit: the pic I posted has a more greenish tone, I think, but it’s a photo of a book that I have physically and Coyote Brown lines up with the physical version better

Also now you made me go check… apparently this is Pantone’s colour of the year 2025:

and this one is for 2026 (how can you select the colour of the year in advance tho?)

This one seems to be the closest, unironically. Now my curiosity is satisfied and my soul at peace.

No, it’s the colour of one book I own and it just struck me how I can’t name or describe it.

Lol, is that an actual colour? I’m googling and the results are “mouse’s back”, although that one’s too gray IMO…

Chose your own dystopia. Where no ads exist and everything is pay per view/read/report/etc. Or the one we’re in.

Ads being a replacement for paying applies to internet services (social media, news sites, etc. that you can use for free). When you have billboards on the side of the road, you still have to pay the road toll. When you see ads in public transport, you still have to pay the ticket. When ads are shown on a TV channel, you still have to pay the subscription.

Online ads, as insufferable as they are, are still more clearly justifiable from the end user’s point of view than traditional ones.

LG’s recent software update has forcibly installed Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant, on smart TVs without removal options, sparking widespread user backlash over privacy, bloatware, and loss of control. This highlights growing tensions in smart devices, where monetization often overrides user preferences.

Sure is ironic that the article summary is itself AI-generated.

Pretty sure it was Scottish English. Does anyone outside of super rural places actively use Scots anyway?

Idk, I recently heard some thick Scottish English and I couldn’t understand literally anything. That might be in part due to the fact that I’m not a native speaker, but still I believe people outside the British isles would struggle with it.

Some of the uniformity is a result of cultural domination of specific centres and now unavoidable loss of original dialectal variation.

start putting up the money to make their support no longer required

There’s no way individual donations from ordinary people could match Google’s. They’re also likely to be less reliable.

Mozilla doesn’t even ask for donations from users a whole lot, and the money they receive mostly doesn’t go into development of the browser:

These funds directly support advocacy campaigns (i.e. asking big tech companies to protect your privacy), research and publications like the *Privacy Not Included buyer’s guide and Internet Health Report, and covers a portion of our annual MozFest gathering.

My family bought a miniature real one two years ago so we’ll probably keep using it. It’s a bit of a hassle to water and take care of throughout the year, but I like it, the water is probably still cheaper than buying a whole new tree, real or artificial. It looks cute and is (obviously) easy to decorate.

That’s what you’d assume, but again in my country this is not a rare situation. Yes, people literally spend years studying to become gynecologists, and then don’t want to do one of the important parts of their job.

Admittedly, it is believed that many of the gynecologists actually do the abortions… in private clinics where they work in along with their job in the public hospital.

Actually “fuck off” to the above statement as well in many cases. “I’m a gynecologist. My religion says I can’t do an abortion.” Fuck off. Where I live (Croatia) pharmacies can refuse to sell you contraceptive pills if the person on the counter says it disagrees with their religion. Fuck off.

People’s values are never a purely private matter.

They’re literally using people’s shitting and pissing to train AI.

But isn’t AI already shitty enough by itself??

Well, db0 isn’t strictly anarchist, I joined because it’s a pro-piracy instance (and also have no essential problems with the other important positions of the instance, i.e. anarchism and being pro-AI). So it’s unavoidable that some non-anarchists join as well. I’ve seen some - but still very few - db0 users who do come off as tankies. Either way even if there was more of them it still makes no sense to me why the above user would find it relevant to shit on db0 in this thread.

Now it’s updated, you’re human again :)
