You're correct where it counts (not Roman at all) but it was around before Italian Fascism:

It was during the period of the French Revolution that the gesture was invented by revolutionary republicans who framed their politics as a revival of the Roman republic.

Does it count as "a human" if it's a bot reposting human-made content for the 50th time?

I know he's just selling the platform to AI companies, but it's an odd take considering they've been moving away from being a message board and towards being just another content feed for years now.

This is pretty fucked up, OP

The top finger kinda gives it away imo

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

yeaaaaah I can't break it

Fedora Kinoite.

KDE Plasma (very Windows-ey) and it is "immutable" which means you can't break it.

Someone else said Kubuntu which aesthetically will look the same and is also a good choice but if you want to start with a "just works" I recommend an immutable distro.

Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.

You've got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those "quirky, weird" websites people nostalgize over weren't seeking clout, they were seeking connection.

I think it's healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that "followers" are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making "art" with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then... that's just a job, imo.

I love the argument that AI will "fix global warming". We already know how to fix global warming! We've known for decades! Global warming is not some incalculable mystery!
