- Comment on Why Is Instagram Running Ads for a "Pet Incinerator"? 2 days ago:
Morbid as they are, pet incinerators are a reasonable purchase for businesses that need to safely dispose of a deceased animal, such as a veterinary clinic.
But the optics are dicey for an ad on social media, and even more so when it’s targeting users outside the veterinary industry and features adorable AI-generated images of pets.
I don’t see why it ever would be a good idea to advertise this on social media. Must be a way to target only clinics.

I skimmed it, but I hear you.
- Comment on Debian Linux developers vote to allow "Responsible Use of Generative AI" 5 weeks ago:
“Responsible Use” is a very soft term. I guess the whole code for an application could be AI-generated as long as it’s considered to be correct and the AI was “used responsibly”?

- Comment on After 24 years, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is finally distributed uncut in Germany — game was censored due to strict laws regarding Nazi symbolism 1 month ago:
Of course, but if you’re a German and wanted to play this title with nazi symbols you’d have modded or pirated it long ago. Seems redundant

It feels a bit strange, to be honest. Because its been such a long time after release. If its this late, might as well not do it at all.

None of them are particularly interesting, sadly. It’s more like the donation itself is the main selling point.
