They made the product they want, they’re free to do that.
But they aren't free -- Disney has total executive control. This is nothing new though; they used to use this power to censor queerness in shows before (e.g. Gravity Falls). They may still perhaps, and may do so again. Disney in general reigns in everything to make it a sterile corporate product and the artists involved have to swim upstream to make something they want.
We should all boycott Disney and take its capitalist grip off our culture. Then we can have vastly more diverse media, certainly with more queerness.
Out of curiosity, did you like Andor? Because it had all that stuff too but it was well written instead. Just think about how many women are lead roles on Andor for a second.
those are the people 1984 is talking about, or rather to, I believe.
Edit: nvm, 1984 is among them perhaps.
yeah, I think there's been a terrible miscommunication somewhere. It might help if you clarify -- do you yourself believe that there is a sizeable contingent of people who want to force games to include all walks of life?
misrepresenting the anti-woke crowd? I think they literally believe that stuff, forced diversity etc.
Edit: nvm, I was wrong.
The article is NOT satire -- it's provocative. The author argues that world hunger benefits the rich. Capiche?
I hope the UN restores the article.

that's not satire. He unironically, disapprovingly, argues that this is the real state of the world.
That's the anti-woke propaganda the text you're quoting is complaining about. If you listen to anyone right wing long enough this is what they'll bring up eventually. it's "fake news" basically -- very dangerous fake news.
Perhaps you misunderstood the poster?
Edit: nope, I did.
Reading about it
Looks like they did more than you. There is indeed quite a bit of evidence that suggests he was guilty, which you'd realize if you weren't just discounting all of it as surely sprouting from white supremacy. But our justice system works on the presumption of innocence, or at least it's meant to. That it failed to, that our justice system is structurally flawed, that's what's racist -- not the real possibility he might have been guilty. Lol, literally nothing in this world has a zero percent chance, and if you think it does, you're honestly blinded by your fucked up pseudo-ideology.
Learn what structural racism means, and until then don't call yourself a leftist.
Anyway I g2g have a life. Peace out.
Lemmy is tree-structured. Can't talk over nobody.
Bro said "I think that there is 100% plausible reason to doubt that he is guilty," you don't get to just pretend like they wrote "I still think he did it." Maybe practice listening to people. Typical toxic masculinity.
I just want to remind you all that Gary Bowser, switch modder, owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He also is in a wheelchair and has kids.
Please don't post hearsay. If you want to post something incriminating, take a second to verify it first. This is how bad rumors propagate, and as a society today it's a problem we're facing like never before. Do your part!
In this case you're completely wrong.
What does BLOB stand for?
I have played a little bit with OpenAI's new iteration of GPT, GPT-o1, which performs an initial reasoning step before running the LLM. It is certainly a more capable tool than previous iterations, though still struggling with the most advanced research mathematical tasks. Here are some concrete e...
> The experience seemed roughly on par with trying to advise a mediocre, but not completely incompetent, graduate student. However, this was an improvement over previous models, whose capability was closer to an actually incompetent graduate student. It may only take one or two further iterations of improved capability (and integration with other tools, such as computer algebra packages and proof assistants) until the level of "competent graduate student" is reached, at which point I could see this tool being of significant use in research level tasks.
What do y'all guys use for cloud storage, like DropBox, Google Drive, and so on? Ideally something which works even when offline.
I'd like to de-google of course.
(Please don't downvote just because I need some help.)
I was once a privacy nut. But it's getting so hard nowadays, and there are so many more important problems -- global warming, AI, the inevitable collapse of the current world order... how does privacy improve the world? Please help remind me.
I do approve of privacy, of course. All this protect-the-children flak is bullshit. I just can't remember why I thought it was something worth fighting for and preaching about.

In a poll on hexbear (see link), it was observed that there are very few cis women on Lemmy. I think this is the intersection of several problems:
- engagement of women on Reddit was always low
- fewer women in computer science
- I'm hesitant to recommend anything fediversy to people who don't tinker with computers like I do and thus might need a more handholdy UX.
I gather that transgender people tend to be more into CS, though I don't see why that explains entirely such an astonishing presence of the transgender community on Hexbear.
Anyway, I just thought I'd open the floor to brainstorming.

On April 8, 2024, part of Canada will observe a total solar eclipse. When the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, many spectators will be plunged into temporary darkness.
Safety tips:
- Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren't safe
- Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don't have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all)
- Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the duration of the eclipse at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on.
- When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.
