- Comment on Having grown up on sci-fi I always knew there would be people who reject robots and AI on a visceral level, I just thought it wouldn't be me. 18 hours ago:
Is it the AI itself? Or is it that it’s being forced down your throat despite being an alpha-level (in programming, alpha means very early release with lots of bugs and missing features, and nowhere near production quality) software?
Personally, I like the idea of AI. And occasionally I will find a use for it; i.e. summarizing long texts, or giving me pointers for a complex software problem I need an example for visualizing a potential solution. I do also use an LLM for code completion, and it is actually useful kore often than not. But, this idea that it should write my code for me, or be integrated so deeply in an operating system and other integral software (browsers, email, and search engines), is certainly a line too far and dangerously ignorant of companies to be doing right now.

🤷♂️ It is serious. It may not directly affect me, but it is a growing mentality in society as a whole that I do worry will undermine any valid attempt at “fixing” our situation (whatever that may look like).
But at the end of the day, I will move on. Hopefully the glasses kid in the video will be able to also.
And, thank you.

No, you teach them to bee smart and then no before they act. You don’t teach them to go and get arrested because somebody said something they disagree with.
Maybe teach them to organize against people like the aggressor, and rally them out of the school. Or teach them to worm the system so that admins will be compelled to get that asshole out of there.
Simply “punching nazis” because you had an emotional reaction only reenforces the asshole’s behavior, and causes unnecessary grief on you.
But yeah, “punch nazis” because “mah emotions”. Real smart. That’ll teach ‘em!

We’re not talking about the US government. We’re talking about stupid high school kids.

Unfortunately the kid who did the punching fell for the trolling of the asshat doing the recording. The aggressor (the asshat) was intentionally trying to provoke someone into a confrontation, and succeeded. And the puncher is now guilty of assault and battery (and there is video proof!) and will be punished, while the asshat will walk away even more smug and empowered to do it again to someone else.
The point I am trying to make is to not feed the trolls. It doesn’t matter what bullshit they spout, or how angry it makes you: do not engage them unless they are literally (and I mean literally) endangering you or someone else. Ignoring them is the best way to shut them down.

No kink shaming!

It has a limes from the left… and limes from the right…
Is that the Tootsie Roll Theorem?
- Comment on How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ? 2 weeks ago:
Who knows why we start doing things. But lucky for our ancestors, silver is a good antibacterial.
As for “modern”, piercings have been around in modern times just as much as historical. You may have grown up and/or live in a more conservative (i.e. puritanical) area where it’s less common.

Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Are jaguar soft?
FTFH.
Pro tip: don’t waste people’s time by forcing them to respond before you ask your question. Be polite and pleasant, AND ask your question at the same time. It saves both them and you a lot of time.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I unblocked you just so I could downvote this ridiculous attempt at shaming people based on YOUR opinion and not fact. You are just as bad as those fascists and racists you rail so hard against. And sadly, you just don’t care.

Thank you for an actual thought and not some dumbass rhetorical question.

- Comment on In a way, a gift card is kind of the opposite of a credit card 1 month ago:
I guess it depends on what you call it. I’ve seen creditors that have autopay features that can draft it from your bank accounts each month. Usually those are for your minimum payment, which usually stretch out your balance for up to 30 years (to maximize interest charges).
I personally don’t like autopay. It’s an old habit from back when I would overdraft my checking on the regular because I always spent more than I made. Nowadays, I think it’s because I like the responsibility/control of paying my bills manually, and on my terms.

If you can pay your statement balance on time, then there is no “+ extra money”.
~That is often much easier said than done.~

Dude, this is more of an !asklemmy@lemmy.world thing. Now a shower thought.
- Comment on Why do we produce so much porn? 1 month ago:
Very valid.
- Comment on Why do we produce so much porn? 1 month ago:
Porn and sex work itself aren’t bad, and are natural extensions of our human condition.
The shameful parts are the people who create sex trafficking rings, child/incest porn, and porn that imitates child/incest porn. There’s probably more shameful uses of porn, as we are also a degenerate society in a lot of respects.
- Comment on LG responds swiftly to user backlash, will allow users to remove Microsoft Copilot link from TVs — clarifies service is not an app, future update will include tile removal option from WebOS 1 month ago:
For clarification: they will only remove the tile, not the copilot app. They state it’s non-removable, and say it’s not a service that runs.
However, my concern is what is to stop Microsoft (or LG) from enabling it in the future?

- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 2 months ago:
Slop comment aside, a lot of people with ADHD listen to videos at 1.5x or more speed because that’s how their brain works.
- Comment on If you didn't vote, the current state of things is partially your fault 2 months ago:
This, and First Past the Post.
People treating complex problems like they have binary solutions are myopic in their views. If it were as simple as just voting out the bad guys, we’d be in a whole different world right now, and things pike Project 2025 would not exist.
There is no simple solution, and voting is — by itself — not the solution.

Those comments. 🤮
- Comment on Shut up science!! 2 months ago:
I am not smart enough to come to my own conclusions about a lot of science, so yes I must believe what the collective scientific community asserts, because I have no other way to prove things that happen. For me, that means putting my faith in their accuracy. So yes, I believe in science.
It should also be noted that there are people out there that treat science as a religion; that it is infallible, and cannot be changed, and to suggest otherwise is blasphemy. 🤷♂️
