Nothing, it’s just a bad idea
- Comment on When both partners work from home: the hidden cost of always-on technology 4 days ago:
TLDR: the article tries to blame remote work, but the explanations show that the problems come from people’s inability to separate personal and work time, and from gender inequality (while also assuming that a relationship is automatically a man and a woman).
Another stupid thing that tries to bash on remote work for shit reasons.
- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 5 days ago:
Being called a woman isn’t something you “deserve”, it’s just a gender assignment that means nothing.
Just do your own thing, if you don’t feel like the label fits you, you don’t need it anyway.

- Comment on The Resonant Computing Manifesto 2 weeks ago:
Harm isn’t specified, human being is not specified, and I don’t get the point of restricting it to humans.
Overall these rules can only work (but still wouldn’t) if processed by a human mind.

How about nothing, as an alternative?
- Comment on GOG plan to look a bit closer at Linux through 2026 2 weeks ago:
Pushing a shitty launcher, selling partial games, missing versions of games, selling games with DRM, implementing DRMs through their launcher… Basically everything that GoG is supposed to specifically avoid.
- Comment on GOG plan to look a bit closer at Linux through 2026 2 weeks ago:
Considering how gog has been progressing over the past years, they’ll have to do much more to prove that they are getting better than to make an announcement.
Until then, I’ll remain critical.
I don’t think clapping as soon as a company that has been doing a lot of crap over years, makes an announcement about one potential future improvement, is more logical than that.

Only what, 10 years late?

- Comment on Good News: Study Shows That Most Men Are Not Toxic 3 weeks ago:
And it includes people who are slightly to moderately toxic, which is why my sentence said “at least slightly toxic”
That’s my exact point that you somehow missed, the article concludes that most men are not toxic while saying that only ~30% are not toxic.
What they actually concluded is “89.2% of men are not extremely toxic” but that’s not what the article implied
- Comment on Good News: Study Shows That Most Men Are Not Toxic 3 weeks ago:
“64.6% of men are at least slightly toxic. Conclusion: most men are not toxic”
What the heck?

- Comment on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder: What it means for you 4 weeks ago:
They make a big deal out of saying that they hand-pick games and make sure they’re good and proper, then they take responsibility of quality problems of the games that are available.
And last I checked you cannot filter. If you do a search, sure, but not on the main page, and during times like around Valentine’s day, the website starts looking like a weird porn website. Also, they claim that they select good games, and no one is going to make me believe that those porn games are good quality games.
- Comment on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder: What it means for you 4 weeks ago:
They’ve been pushing a stupid launcher for tracking, have been selling non-up-to-date games, non-drm-free games, incomplete games (ex: no linux version while it is on steam), pushing weird porn games on the front page just because they sell, etc.
It’s been getting worse and worse over the past ~5 years, and I never saw it get better.
- Comment on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder: What it means for you 5 weeks ago:
Gog has been going to shit so it cannot get much worse.
- Comment on [Research] At least 80 million inconsistent facts on Wikipedia – can AI help find them? 2 months ago:
Which is as logical as cringing when someone would mention blockchain features some time ago.
AI is not currently in a state (technical or social) that makes it ever useful.

Heh, how else would they sell you their leftovers?

Yeah, I think you need to calm down before using the internet, it’s visibly not good for you.

Not a vegan, and I’m downvoting your stupid post.
Unhealthy, unethical, sect-like behaviour can go to the trash.

Yeah no, especially not with that logo
- Comment on Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about. 3 months ago:
Lol, at 22 your body is not even finished, let alone your mind, but you think it’s mandatory to have sex?
And sex early is a better “decision”?
And being different is something to feel bad about and that is worth shame?
What the heck are you on dude, there is not a single angle at which this reasoning would even remotely make sense.
Don’t write this out of the weird 4chanish incel hellhole you found that cra.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 4 months ago:
Conservatives are defined by the need to burn it all down. The point is that they see a horrible past as glorious, torture as duty, and war as peace.
It doesn’t matter who dies or whatnot, everything is just a tool towards this goal, not the actual motivation behind it.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 4 months ago:
Your whole logic is based on the idea that being able to do something means understanding that thing. This is simply wrong.
Humans feel emotions, yet they don’t understand them. A calculator makes calculations, but no one would say that it understands math. People blink and breathe and hear, without any understanding of it.
The concept of understanding implies some form of meta-knowledge about the subject. Understanding math is more than using math, it’s about understanding what you’re doing and doing it out of intention. All of those things are absent in an AI, neural net or not. They cannot “see the world” because they need to be programmed specifically for a task to be able to do it; they are unable to actually grow out of their programming, which is what understanding would ultimately cause. They simply absorb data and spit it back out after doing some processing, and the fact that an AI can be made to produce completely incompatible results shows that there is nothing behind it.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 4 months ago:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctive_sequence
With your logic, these numbers understand grammar too because they can form sentences.
Even better, anything that any human could ever say is contained in those, and as such, humanity has a more limited grammar understanding than a sequence.
You cannot define understanding by the results, and even if you did, AIs give horrible results that prove that they do nothing else than automatically put words next to each other based on the likelihood of it making sense to humans.
They do not understand grammar just like they do not understand anything, they simply are an algorithm made to spit out “realistic” answers without having to actually understand them.
Another example of that is AIs that generate images: they’re full of nonsense because the AI doesn’t understand what it’s making, and that’s why you end up with weird artifacts that seem completely absurd to any human with basic understanding of reality.
