  If you mean the case where he raised presidential immunity against seditious conspiracy charges?

  The reason he was granted this is because in his capacity of president, basically the courts are supposed to cut him some slack if he does some accidental criming; you see, if the president does it, it’s usually necessary to perform his duties and if you stop him you are preventing him from getting any work done. That’s basically what the supreme Court ruled. It’s a bit like when cops raise qualified immunity. It’s supposed to insulate them from personal grievances so they are able perform their duties. Only that the presidential immunity is way worse for us, because a cop can raise it and then prosecution has the burden to prove there was a rule and the cop knew it. But in this case it’s worse because the president just has to say it was in his presidential capacity and that’s it iirc.

  So back to your question: can you do so too? No. You are not a president, you don’t have presidential immunity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is AI so bad at coming up with dialogue?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bunch of reasons, few people have pointed out in other comments already, including:

  • text =/= dialogue
  • LLMs train on the average guy, not good actors or only well done plays
  • AI models are statistical approximations of patterns that emulate behavior of the real world. It’s gonna take shortcuts wherever it can
  • maybe there’s specific tricks for positive or systems prompts that will improve quality in your case / on you model
  • the model you are using could be bad for the task
  • some of the points you are making strike me as personal preference; they could just as well apply to non-AI written series

  Those are some things that play into why it feels like it’s awful at it. Some of it perception, some of it is true.

  Literally today Chris Titus released a video where he emphasized that no one should be using secure boot because the default backend is Microsoft and no one changes their secure boot config.

  If that’s true there’s an argument that the name “secure boot” is hardly detachable from the defaults and thus that name is kid of burnt and shouldn’t be recommended out of an abundance of caution for new users.

  “Looking Glass does not support audio routing. The preferred solution is to pass through QEMU’s audio to your host’s audio system.”

  That eliminates Ableton ofc (because that pushes you out of the vm for audio and then you have to deal with additional jank and you’re back to dealing with your Linux distro for better or for worse.

  Premiere pro that could work though of course for audio you’re also back to square one.

  Ok so when you’re talking about xmpp as a discord alternative, basically movim is kind of what people should be paying attention to.

  I’ll def check that out. I am also passively observing progress on stoat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(XMPP Setup Guide) Discord Was Never the End Game - TonyBTW⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now this is a question: how far can you get with xmpp? Could you build an interface on top of it to look exactly like discord with all of it’s functions? Or does something like that already exist?

  My first instinct with these older protocols is that there’s no way they could support 10 people in a voice call with concurrent camera streams and 3 screen captures. I’m genuinely curious how far xmpp goes.

  Man if they figure out stable alternatives to Premiere Pro and Ableton I’m on board, but for now all of that is not easy to do and the setup can be extremely janky.

  I’m talking actually usable, not “it runs”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is spreading.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding to that, drivers are basically a non-issue in 99% of the cases by now. Linux has really outdone themselves on that.

  Case and point, I plugged in an audio interface into Linux after installing a DAW and pipewire and it just worked out of the box.

  Because the people make the platform, and not the functions, and for lots of people you need a lower entry barrier, and the entry barrier for both of those is a good bit higher than fluxer.

  • a new job
  • more news about the downfall of Trump’s administration
  • me making more music (and collabs)
  • making and playing on a new Minecraft modded server again
  • watching closely to see if the matrix protocol becomes more widely adopted against censorship
  • some PC parts becoming cheaper because of China’s more competitive industries (not gonna be ram prices though)
  • buying and testing hytale
  • broader adoption of Linux, specifically how well different government entities of different countries can establish work processes in it
  • sensible AI regulation regarding specifically defamation and identity theft
  • more competition in various industries
  • maybe some kind of resolve in the Ukraine war?
  • new anime series & movies

  Here’s some things (sorry for the little bit of orphan crushing machine in the middle)

  Sometimes it’s hard to start a new art project. Creative restraint can be really helpful. Example: starting a song with only live recorded samples, or painting a picture with only 5 colors, or writing something from the perspective of an animal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I took antidepressants for my Weltschmerz (world-weariness)... would I become a worse artist?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it might, but let me explain why I don’t think it’s that bad: whenever you change your habits, you will notice a difference to your mood and day-to-day headspace.

  Antidepressants also change your habits, and thus they change what you think about, when you can be creative, and how you create.

  I used to be scared that I would “lose the spark” over time when my habits changed drastically or when I took breaks from my craft, and I still am, but I can tell you in 8 years I’ve always bounced back and I still do some cool things and other people like some of the things I do. It definitely changed, but I know I learn and grow and thus my experiences necessarily change anyway, and so change in inevitable. BUT: for now it hasn’t stopped me - sometimes I just need a little bit of a push.

  Honestly just see what it’s like and don’t get scared when your habits and thoughts change. Try to adapt to it and switch up your workflow if it absolutely won’t work. And don’t forget: you can always add restraints to kick-start your process. Best of luck and may your future art be beautiful as well:)
