• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michelle Obama once said when they go low we go high. Meaning the republicans go low. What would be the equivalent of the Democrats going low instead of high ground?⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Michelle Obama just wanted to say some words that made DNC voters feel a feeling of superiority as the party they voted for did very little to address the material conditions the voters live in while the RNC repeatedly enacted their policies of racism and oppression, hoping the voter would think “things are just slower when you do them ‘the right way’.”

  I humbly invite you to come experience my driveway, sidewalk and walk way as well as the part of the street the plows won’t touch for some fucking reason.

  Have you been in a cave for the past decade? It doesn’t matter if someone proves something is stupid, the world doesn’t run on intelligence and logic.

  But, like, why? Why not say “here’s a link to a discussion about just that”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …why did you reply like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No communications platform lasts forever. Time to get “discord alternatives” trending

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay sure whatever you say 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s why women wear perfumes so much, to try and mask the smell.

  Holy shit dude WHAT lmaooooo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Feels that way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Been a lotta weird “vaginas smell like fish” posts lately…

  Never understood where that idea came from anyway.

  Don’t they get around the obvious issues with this by using cartoon animal butts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else feel that the beautiful always win no matter how evil they are?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s moreso the rich keep winning regardless of morality and its easier to achieve/maintain what society considers the beauty de jure when you’re wealthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems like it would kill millions of people who have very little control over the actions of the country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One in 10 Japanese creatives see income fall due to generative AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Mountains of slop is gonna replace schlock. What was before schlock will soon be slop. Well, it won’t be the end of schlock entirely. I’m sure we’re still gonna get some schlock that’s also slop. Slop schlock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t actually played it (wont play any game that used or uses LLM software), so I can only tell you what I’ve read.

  Shame, it looked interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the Where Winds Meet tried this, right? The NPCs ended up saying anachronistic things and making travel itineraries for Beijing or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disrupt Amazon's "Melania" premiere weekend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the whole point of a boycott is to… not use the service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disrupt Amazon's "Melania" premiere weekend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Protest Amazon by giving them money, that’ll show em

  Check what your local laws require. Some areas require both front and back plates, some only require rear plates.

  I’ll remember this when I decide to give Ubisoft money or not.

  (I won’t give them money)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is it. The door is warmer than the back and the mayo will separate if frozen

  Oh, well, then I guess that tracks then.

  They’re sugar candies tho??

  I imagine it’s easier to make puns in mandarin.

  Why the hell would someone who wants to move away from Firefox because of their user unfriendly decisions want to use Comet, an AI browser from the same exact company Firefox is using to poison their own browser??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, the issue is ease of installation and configuration of programs.

  Some things are just as simple as they are on Windows and iOS with just clicking a button and using a wizard of sorts, but some things need you to parse a series of terminal prompts and figure out how to rewrite parts of the instructions to fit your particular machine and setup.

  Often I end up missing or misunderstanding some step and it doesn’t work and I have no idea why.

  It’s not impenetrable and it’s not a problem exclusive to Linux, but it does make setting things up a bit more of a chore.

  I got Ubuntu on a laptop now to test out how to use that as my daily OS before I commit to figuring out how to swap over my Windows 10 desktop sometime next year and it admittedly is MUCH EASIER now than when I last tried around 2008, but I still run into problems.

  I’m currently trying to schedule a weekend where I can diagnose why my raspberry pi won’t boot after a power outage when it’s survived that in the past and another weekend to figure out why the self hosted tandoor app I got successfully running a few months ago suddenly stopped and cannot run now, even after what I thought was a clean install.

  I wanna switch. I do. But so many steps of it are full on projects. I’m learning a lot and it gets easier every step of the way, but it’s still at a state where I need to schedule time to address these things that “just work” on Windows.
