That logo is terrible.

Like, a core component of a good logo is that it’s easily identifiable at a glance at all shapes and sizes and on various backgrounds… complicated photorealistic logos basically lack all of these criteria by default.

This is why you need someone experienced not some ai slop.

Why doesn’t the weight of the part cause the hook to distort the red hot metal?

It is a very slim minority of very loud people who are actually evil, who have inveigled a regrettably large number of people who are not necessarily evil but are short slighted and easily manipulated into acting against their own self interest.

Being an American does kinda suck these days though as a result.

SV is too real. I was close to Bay Area tech when I was watching it, and that show hit too close to home sometimes.

IT crowd maintains a humorous distance from the really shitty parts of tech and I’m here for it.

What? The whole charm of the IT crowd is that it’s pretty spot on for how IT people act with each other. It’s hyperbolic for sure but I felt like it was the most authentic representation of tech people in the media.

I also thought the joke was about fragile masculinity… but I can see it being off putting anyways and I’m open to being wrong.

What did they do to little Billy?!?!?!

No, they’re not.

They’re not discussing what the appropriate penalties should be—which, by the way, is typically done at the end of a trial during the sentencing phase, after all evidence has been presented and a guilty verdict has been delivered, because punishment is supposed to be reflective of the evidence presented—they’re saying that they’ve already decided that the target penalty is death.

That’s a clear nod that they want to make an example, a concept divorced from justice.

Every accusation is projection, as is status quo.

He is currently innocent of all of those charges.

We don’t get to pick and choose when innocent before proven guilty gets applied. Openly stating that they’re seeking the death penalty before he’s even been indicted is weird and wrong.

Contempt of court when?

Still, in another message Rivers sent to the teacher, she called the educator a child predator who tells "precious innocent kids that it's ok to be in same sex relationships," according to the affidavit.

It is ok to be in same sex relationships.

What’s not ok is being a bigoted piece of shit, threatening people, and bringing a gun to school to threaten someone because you’re a bigoted piece of shit.

 

Do we have an established practice for requesting defederation?

I would very much like to request that we defederate from burggit.moe (because I would prefer to keep my lemmy experience free of loli porn) and I went looking for the best way to do this, but the best I could come up with was posting to meta and that seems like the wrong place.

I feel like I missed something obvious ¯_(ツ)_/¯
