Cars, and snake oil, and propaganda

• Got my dad a bunch of Japanese woodworking tools for Christmas, in the interest of getting him to commit to a retirement hobby
• im a staunch atheist
• im wrapping two of the saws together in the shape of a crucifix and I’m going to talk about having found the good word of our lord jebus cripes

There we go. Took a minute lol

lol ew

Interesting… so like, if one were to use it on magnetic storage, you’d theoretically be able to work in quaternary?

Several years ago, yeah. Though I do still watch series and movies. And games. But broadcast tv, no

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

boss makes a dollar, I make a dime…

Service guarantees citizenship!

But like, not actually a joke.

That’s not a shot at you, btw - more of a critique of the system that makes military service one of the only ways you can actually have a life like what you have.

But they’d love to tell you about their favorite flavor of crayon!

Shortly, it’ll get even looser.

ALL GAS NO BRAKES WCGW

Yeah but the beautiful thing about the fediverse is that instance admins can just be like “lol no, fuck you” and defederate, and moreover coordinate to blacklist anything affiliated with Meta et al.

And then there’s people like me who, as a result of the election, have started to think about how they could go work for tech in the context of some sort of fifth-column effort, because I fucking HATE the amount of societal damage these hypercapitalist megacorps are doing. But of course I would only do that in Minecraft.

Well, it’s less about “distorting” than it is about accelerating a societal collapse -> reformation progression. Accelerationists believe that societal collapse is inevitable at this point, and that the collapse should be accelerated so that it’s not as drawn out, and so that (ostensibly) society can recover more quickly. Probably with those same shitass accelerationist billionaire fucksticks as the landed gentry / nobility / whatever the fuck happens after.

Whereas most reasonable people would say we should, you know, try to fucking fix the stuff we have currently, instead of burning it all to the ground.

Overall, there’s WAY less motive here for karma farming, primarily because global karma/vote counts aren’t a thing that’s tracked on lemmy. Actual reputation that you establish as you interact with communities here is more important, which is one of the reasons I like lemmy a lot more than reddit.

One might even say we’re leaders in our field

This is honestly a WAY better domain for the application of ML than LLMs.
