  Yeah, had to go look at another article on this, but indeed it works by blocking the absorption of Vitamin A. That… doesn’t sound good.

  This, a literal giant pile of shit sitting in the oval office surrounded by other piles of shit sitting in the various other seats of power would still be doing a MUCH better job than the current administration. Heck, literal feces in the White House would probably be more popular with the general public. At least everyone can relate to having to poop.

  Very sweet. Thank you!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Summit for Lemmy is now open source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really good stuff. Obviously do what you can and it’s great you’re open sourcing the project. That’s always a good thing imho. I just made the suggestion to get it up on FDroid as a lot of people who love open source and are on Android prefer to get their apps there.

  If you’re able, please do so. But even if you don’t, please know you open sourcing this, it’s appreciated. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Summit for Lemmy is now open source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice. Hopefully somebody puts it up on FDroid.

  The server sending over the plugin that can read MathML code is possibly down. Perhaps try again later?

  The oligarchs running these companies have suffered a psychotic break. What the cause exactly is I don’t know, but the game theyre playing is a lot less about profits now. They care about control and power over people.

  I theorize it has to do with desperation over what they see as an inevitable collapse of the United States and they are hedging their bets on holding onto the reigns of power for as long as possible until they can fuck off to their respective bunkers while the rest of humanity eats itself.

  Then, when things settle they can peak their heads out of their hidie holes and start their new Utopian civilization or whatever.

  Whatever’s going on, profits are not the focus right now. They are grasping at ways to control the masses…and failing pretty miserably I might add…though something tells me that scarcely matters to them.

  That’s a feature Microsoft. Start removing more crap and you might have an actual OS and not just a complicated slow overpriced billboard.

  Its cool seeing the Mullvad team keep pushing forward with privacy related services. If I ever need to search Google with JS turned off, I’ll use…SearXNG, but this is cool too.

  Gym, Meditate, Therapy, Volunteer, Meetup, Hobbies. Any combination of these, at least 2.

  Accumulating money doesn’t count as character building nor living. Spend it wisely, but do spend it. Wisely is subjective, but see above for what I think that means. Good luck.

  Yeah that makes sense. I appreciate your thoughtful response.

  I believe I have statimated the people of Iceland accurately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Potential Decentralized Fediverse Alternative to Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I can see that. It needs to be centralized due to just the nature of, y’know, nation state backed currencies, and crypto ultimately is too vulnerable to becoming a centralized power structures to be taken seriously as an alternative to national currencies.

  My only interest in this is whether or not Patron, KoFI, etc. Can still provide their services at the level they already are, but way cheaper (I.e. give a higher percentage back to the creators). I know its somewhat low currently, but is it as low as possible?

  Just something I occasionally think about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are a lot more alike than we are different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. To be clear, I am saying I would not like any of these aspects of humankind, not that they are necessarily in any way equivalent. Nor am I trying to necessarily relate them to each other. On their own, I dislike them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are a lot more alike than we are different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been struggling with this lately. I am staunchly anti violence and anti war, and yet, I am conflicted on how far I truly would be willing to go to cull classism, fascism, racism, transphobia , homophobia, misogyny, and pedophilia from the world.

  These things are abhorrent to me, and I wonder how much of my humanity I’d be willing to sacrifice in exchange for even one of these no longer being in existence amongst the ranks of humanity.

  How much help does pacifism give to the world? How much harm does it give.

  Two scenes from media I consume have lately continually resurfaced in my mind. One is this scene from Vinland Saga, where the main character’s father confronts him when he finds his sword. The father is about to go off to war, and somberly asks his son who he wants to kill with his father’s sword. This culminates with the father, who again, is about to go off to war, that there is no such thing as enemies.

  The other is this scene from Star Wars Andor, in which the leader of a burgeoning Rebellion is asked by a spy who wishes to defect to the Empire asks what he sacrifices for the fight against the Empire. The monologue he delivers is chilling, acknowledging he sacrifices all things that make him human, he becomes like his enemy in order to defeat them. When he reflects on the question, and asks, “So what do I sacrifice? Everything!”

  That…is how I feel when I think on the fascism that has come to America. Having no enemies… if only. Truly. Having enemies robs me of my humanity. The thing I struggle with is…am I the one who makes them my enemies? Or are they? And if the only thing we can agree on is that we are enemies…then what choice do we have when they come for me and those I claim as my kin?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This. Sorry but I’m a web developer and one of my colleagues obviously uses it without checking if it is correct, then bugs me or others when he doesn’t understand why it doesn’t work as expected. It is frustrating as hell and I’ve explained it to him multiple times:

  • Over prompt the AI if you are going to use it. Long lengthy prompts that are very succinct but give as much context as possible.

  • It is highly preferable to check other sources first like Stack Overflow. Even Medium articles can be better than using AI sometimes.

  • Type out what the AI output rather than just copy and paste. As you type line by line, explain to yourself what is happening.

  • Question everything. Do you think this code will work. Why will it work?

  • Test the code. If it doesn’t work as expected, trouble shoot it.

  • Don’t be afraid to scrap the whole thing and start over. Even open another prompt and try again if you really think the AI can answer the question (there are many cases where your problem is just too specific and the AI can’t).

  He does none of these things. I swear he is the laziest developer I’ve ever met, and I’ve met my fair share.

  Agreed. I mean, to each their own, but I’ve been open and tried the gamut of butt stuff more than a few times with a few partners, and I’ve gotta say…just not a fan of either giving or receiving anal. Oral, on the other hand…
