They also had an animal neglect version, but only the bondage ad was pulled in the UK. Late 90s advertising for games and consoles tried to be as edgy as possible when published in magazines targeted at male demographics.

Congratulations. There's something about convincing a cat you're a source of enjoyment that is ridiculously rewarding. You earned those purrs.

I hope he remembers that he enjoyed this experience so you can both keep enjoying future purring!

Panel 3 and 4 aren't quite right.

The guy in Panel 3 didn't just remix it, he cherry picked the parts that would be most likely to rank for either a short or long tail keyword strategy depending on the size and business of his client or employer.

And that guy doesn't have his paper taken away in Panel 4. He's feeding as many papers as he can to the AI which are tailored for "Answer Engine Optimization" or "Generative Engine Optimization" (they haven't settled on a catchy name yet for what is largely the same thing, even if some claim they're different).

The techniques have changed slightly but SEO has been a filthy game for much longer than AI. Google made sure of that with their auction house, "featured snippet" sections and backlink authority ranking systems.

Get out of my freezer.

I laughed when the song kicked in after the intro. Your description of the whole thing was completely accurate.

That drummer was definitely way too good, and that's probably why he featured more heavily in the clip than I think I've ever seen a drummer feature. I hope he's doing something fun now.

There are two surprising aspects of this to me. Firstly that the employees feel confident enough to express concern about Palantir's actions in official channels. I would have thought that the nature of their work was obvious enough that this would be a cultural taboo and therefore self-censored. I guess some of them have limits to suspending disbelief for what they had likely internally framed as "work for the benefit of national security" or "job pays too well to care".

The second part is that not all of this official channel discussion was immediately wiped by Palantir, but perhaps they also relied on the premise of self-censorship in preventing these conversations at scale.

Either way, I'm somewhat relieved there's someone at Palantir worried about this at all. The more of them who are worried by this, the more leaks we'll see.

Tl;dr An anarchist.nexus admin made a comment which was perceived as a call to violence against a lemmy.world admin. The anarchist.nexus admin stepped down from their anarchist.nexus admin role but not their admin role at dbzer0.

It didn't "revert", it was basically a move from fractions to decimal pinned at 10 shillings = 1 dollar for simplicity, with some minor rounding errors because of pence vs cents.

The Australian central bank has an online exhibit where you can read about it and see all the information people were given for the transition, which answers all your questions.
