I feel like those posters aren’t really socialists either. There’s a point which just claiming a worldview isn’t enough to justify the accuracy of that label while holding all the opposing positions to its values.

I’d like to block all users and posts from hexchan, exploding heads, and lemmygrad. I don’t care if it sends the data as long as it blocks it from my UI.

What’s that written in? Python? I need to learn Python.

I honestly wouldn’t give those people the dignity of calling them leftists. They’re too concerned about cosplaying as activists and dunking on people to actually give a shit about advancing the rights of real people or trying to protect anything good.

Honestly, it’s begun to feel more hostile and shady. Pretty sure the Russian trolls are here, but hexchan ain’t helping either. I’m waiting for a client side instance block feature. We really need it.

We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we’re teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

I definitely noticed that it’s pretty seamlessly replaced Reddit for me at this point. It’s been a decent source of stuff to read and there’s enough of it now that I don’t feel like I’m just seeing the same thing repeatedly.

I like reading articles and discussions, so it’s nice to be able to have that without propping up some big toxic company.

Actually, it has nothing to do with human creators at all. It means that AI can’t hold a copyright. But the person who wrote the article would have to actually be able to comprehend court documents to understand that, so here we are.

Talk about an inaccurate headline. The conclusion here isn’t that AI art can’t be copyrighted, it’s that AI cannot be a copyright holder. But it’s AI, so we can’t actually expect anyone to pull their head out of their ass and give it enough thought to write an article that isn’t garbage.

Instead we have yet another thread about this case in which no one actually has any idea what the ruling was. Very informative.

What Nebula really needs is some content that isn’t just people talking about stuff. I can appreciate a video essay now and then, but it’s the whole platform. I have a subscription right now, really only because of Philosophytube, but I can’t really find anything I’m that interested in watching.

It really needs some like sketch comedy, tech reviews, dumb little videos of people out doing stuff, or like, cats sitting on roombas. Cater to something other than wanting to listen to people blather their opinions all day.

I dream of this kind of storage. I just added a second m.2 with a couple of TB on it and the space is lovely but I can already see I’ll fill it sooner than I’d like.

That’s not me, but I don’t really feel like it’s particularly helpful to be in someone’s life if that’s the way you look at it. Especially if it’s a situation where your own standards have changed while theirs haven’t.

Honestly, I don’t really want to be spending my time around people who look down on me at all, full stop. Whatever the reason they may have, why have people in your life socially whose company you don’t enjoy? I used to put up with a lot of that, largely when I was broke and directionless, but it’s not really worth it. There are so many people out there, why not find some who are on the same page?

That doesn’t have to attempt to be a position of moral superiority or putting your nose up about lack of responsibility. It can just not be a good fit. Lots of people aren’t a good fit for one another.

Honestly, if I found out one of my friends saw me this way I’d rather they just get out of my life.

I quit smoking for a bit over a year at one point, and it was difficult. It definitely took the development of new coping skills and it was hard not to reach for something in those moments when I wanted to sort of fill the gap not smoking left behind. It was also super disorienting.

But probably the hardest part was deciding to quit and finding support for it that wasn’t full on anti-weed. I did find a substance abuse recovery discord that helped in a non-judgemental way, but most of the people encouraging me to stick with quitting were pretty black and white about it.

It didn’t make me feel sick the way quitting tobacco did, though, or leave me with that strained feeling of chemical dependence.

Eventually I started smoking again, deciding I liked the positive effects more than I didn’t like the occasional negative effects. It’s nice to know that I can quit, though, if I decide it isn’t worth it.

I am so sick of reading half-articles stuck behind paywalls.

If it was just Musk, it would be a lot easier to chalk up to one idiot. But with so many idiots acting in concert? That sounds like somebody’s in their ears. Probably without them realizing it.

I honestly can’t tell if it’s just a collective expiration date for a culture of wealthy incompetence, or if someone’s been manipulating powerful idiots, but it almost feels like there’s a coordinated effort to stir an abandonment of corporate platforms.

Honestly, I have hope that this is how the world gets better. All these companies who’ve been making a mess of everything on reputations they’ve long outlived have gotten too comfortable and too bold. A few Ubisofts and Twitters will be good practice for the bigger ones.

Maybe we’ll even figure out that money only tells us where we go if we let it.

Ragebait with no article access. Shoo off back to corpo media, we don’t want none.

Bunch of goofy wordplay passed off as tech news. But while we’re here, how are they gonna say it’s technically Linux because it uses a Linux kernel but isn’t really Linux because of the OS on top of it when Linux is literally just the kernel?

Goofy.

Just because it’s a technique doesn’t mean it isn’t social engineering.
