You say you’ll disable the ad blocker for sites that don’t push malicious ads? I’ve reported half a dozen deepfake “investment” ads on YouTube in the last couple of months, and they have done nothing about it. The ads YouTube pushes are horrible!
Just some old guy who’s baffled by everything.

fleabs@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most derogatory term someone has used for you?1·2 years agoGot to admit, I had to check the map for Eppleby! It looks tiny, I can imagine that feeling very isolating! I’m still not sure I could refer to the residents of Darlo as “real” people, j/k 😆 I hope your subsequent years in the UK have been more pleasant :)
fleabs@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most derogatory term someone has used for you?1·2 years agoOof! Darlington, or Mordor, as I used to call it, was measurably worse than Newcastle for this! I lived in Ferryhill for a couple of years, so I’m familiar with that area. Definitely low on the list of places I’d recommend moving to in the UK!
Having met one or two people from New Zealand, you guys strike me as a tough and hardy bunch. If anyone could survive there, yous would have a good shot!
fleabs@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most derogatory term someone has used for you?5·2 years agoAs a born and bred Geordie, I apologise on behalf of the northerners. The early 2000s were a pretty shit time around those parts for intolerance. I used to dress “alternatively”, black fingernails, spikey died hair etc. And would get similar slurs thrown my way despite being heterosexual. I no longer live in Newcastle, but it seems a LOT better these days when I visit.

However, the “Conservative” government isn’t really all that conservative, is it? Unless you refer to conserving their own self interests, I’ll grant you they’re really good at that…
Oh and I am 40 years old and educated to masters level, not that that really should matter in the slightest. I do admit that I am pretty short sighted though, damn eyes just ain’t what they used to be. Thankfully I can fix that with glasses through our wonderful national health service… at least for now until the “conservatives” get rid of that too…
Bloody helfire. If I had $1,000,000 I would never have to work or worry about money again. I can’t even comprehend 20 million.
So I guess I’d take 1 million, and then stuff the rest in some charity trust thing that could help my local community.

Once they are trained, they require less power (relatively) to actually run for inference.

Just to give some slight optimism in opposition to your friends, I am soon to turn 41. Its harder, but it’s not impossible. Whatever you pursue, form is everything. Poor form cannot exist post 40. Technically, I am stronger than I have ever been, and yet I’m still falling apart. Don’t consider the number, just do the work, and do it well. Good luck to you!
