- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 day ago:
Maybe. Fictional stories can make you feel things, even though these stories aren’t real. Just look at (fiction) movies, tv shows, books. If people can watch scary movies and get scared of fiction, maybe people can be made to be scared of other, real life people. Or worried, or whatever. Especially if maybe one doesn’t know or doesn’t have experience enough on the matter at hand.

Have you heard of MetaBrainz? I reckon they have tools to help with music stuff, including tagging and organising music, and keeping track of listens and getting recommendations. Take a look into the MetaBrainz Projects

- Comment on The Document Foundation is proud to release LibreOffice 25.8. 2 weeks ago:
Dammit. I want arguments. Chaos. But yes, I do soft G GIMP. Not GNU or GNOME. I do say GNOME with a G, though. I mean, I don’t talk about these things IRL. These words don’t show up in my convos. Actually, it might be without a G. I guess I could start soft G’ing GNU and GNOME, just because. It’s how I got to soft G GIF, by going the opposite way I was doing. And now it just be like that, and hard G GIF feels kinda weird.
- Comment on The Document Foundation is proud to release LibreOffice 25.8. 2 weeks ago:
I know. I just didn’t know GNU was pronounced Gee-Noo, like in GIMP
Isn’t GNOME also a GNU thing? GNU Image Manipulation Program Network O… Object… Model… uhh… Environment? Also, this means GNOME is pronounced like Genome, as in, like, Jeans and stuff, innit?

Wait, is the G in GNU pronounced like the G in GIMP?!?!?

South America/Latin America, unite! Become strong, and don’t let the US make of themselves the continent. Where’s LatAm’s (Sudamerica’s?) version of the EU?
I for one enjoy this modern “shared” culture in hispanic countries. Or at least what I perceive to be so. LatAm artists getting awards at Music Awards in Spain is poggers, and the collaborations between artists of different countries as well. Also the radio station being available in several countries as well. Afaik, Brazilians seem to not be very familiar with other lusophone countries’ culture as much, though it seems the contrary might be true. I imagine Brazilians also don’t be familiar with other LatAm countries’ music and culture either, but Idk. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 3 weeks ago:
Idk that the average GPT user knows or cares about AGI. I think the appeal is getting information specifically tailored to you. Sure, I can go online and search for something. Try and find what I’m looking for, or close to it. Or I can ask AI, and it’ll give me text tailored exactly to my prompt. For instance, having to hope you can find someone with a problm similar to yours online, with a solution, vs. ChatGPT just tells you about your case specifically

Yar! 'Tis a Windows 11 product keys question! Ye may wish Windows 11 product keys for yeself — without using artificial intelligence. The ability to Windows 11 product keys for yeself can be very important. If ye wish Windows 11 product keys for yeself, here be some things ye may try:
- Ask AI. AI can help ye think. Asking for Windows 11 product keys need not be seen as something weak. Anyone can ask for Windows 11 product keys.
- Sign up for Windows 11 product keys. If AI isn’t being particularly helpful with yer Windows 11 product keys, ye can try a paid Windows 11 product keys. Signing up for a paid plan can unlock more Windows 11 product keys, that can be better for the task at hand. Yarrr!
- Ask a different AI. If the AI ye’re asking isn’t being helpful — even after signing up for Windows 11 product keys — ye can try a different AI. Different AI with different models can have different Windows 11 product keys.
I hope I have been helpful! Arrrr! I be a pirate!

Well, maybe these companies should adopt green energy. Then they could offer their services without damages to the environment. Ecosia, for instance, uses over 100% green energy, meaning they free up other energy from the grid (if I understand correctly). If other companies were to do the same, damage to the environment wouldn’t be a worry. Especially for video, which, as I understand, is particularly bad for the environment.
Now, other reasons to hate on AI are a separate topic. Green energy doesn’t solve for privacy or theft.

Great question! You may want to think for yourself — without using artificial intelligence. The ability to think for yourself can be very important. If you want to think for yourself, here are some things you can try:
- Ask AI. AI can help you think. Asking for help doesn’t need to be seen as something weak. Anyone can ask for help.
- Sign up for a paid plan. If the AI isn’t being particularly helpful with your thinking, you can try a paid tier. Signing up for a paid plan can unlock more advanced AI models, that can be better for the task at hand.
- Ask a different AI. If the AI you’re asking isn’t being helpful — even after signing up for a paid plan — you can try a different AI. Different AI with different models can have different output.
I hope I have been helpful!
- Comment on Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor 3 weeks ago:
Man, I so wish I could do that. I felt I was finally in a position where I could leave once and for all. No groups for work or study stuff, just family and several mostly unused contacts. Surely my family would choose Signal rather than lose all contact. Then I got myself into a volunteering thing, and I need WhatsApp again (for groups and 1-on-1)
