- Comment on is it ableist to “support equal rights and those with disabilities” but think someone is terrible and doesn’t deserve rights for showing signs of a disability? 1 week ago:
associating psychosis and narcissism with being abusive is textbook ableism, so yeah

lmao, genocide deniers with good intentions. that’s an interesting way to frame it

him calling the Uyghur concentration camps “reeducation camps”. also getting his news from Russian sources, like when he defended the Russia annexing Crimea.

they both have a hard-on for authorian regimes is all I mean. I wasn’t comparing their degrees of harm

when Lily whips her cock out, you have no choice but to stfu.

- Comment on Interview: Tawny Newsome On Finding The Sweet Spot For Her Star Trek Workplace Comedy 1 week ago:
do you only claim “the brand is diluted” when Black women get involved or do you do that for every mediocre project?
unless you’re Stamets and you already saw all the future Trek projects I don’t understand how you’d know whether they’re good or not.
- Comment on Interview: Tawny Newsome On Finding The Sweet Spot For Her Star Trek Workplace Comedy 1 week ago:
Mariner is one of my favorite Trek characters period. I’m happy they’re letting Black women write their own plots.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
no, if anything it will increase them because prices going up is almost always tied to mass layoffs. austerity package and all that.
- Comment on We don't need AI 2 weeks ago:
let’s say I’m reading an article on communism and the sources provided by Wikipedia come from Marx while llama regurgitates answers from US conservatives on Reddit telling me that communism is when no iPhone and state dictatorship.
even if I can’t access the source in the moment, I can still tell that Wikipedia at least attempts to follow the scientific method. just knowing the name of the source tells me what useless junk to skip. oh, and I could go to the library and ask them if they have my source available.
- Comment on We don't need AI 2 weeks ago:
at least Wikipedia won’t waste your time with misinformation. llama could be trained on the entirety of human history for all I care, doesn’t matter one bit if it can’t provide accurate sources and facts
- Comment on We don't need AI 2 weeks ago:
offline Wikipedia on a phone vs llama which needs a PC:
wiki needs:
- 20-30 GB for the text version
- can fit on most phones otherwise use SD card /USB storage
- isn’t full of AI slop
Llama 3.1 8B Requirements:
- CPU: Modern processor with at least 8 cores
- RAM: Minimum of 16 GB recommended
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090
- doesn’t run on Android or iOS
also keep in mind most people outside of tech/gamer bros can’t afford the financial investment for a PC that can run it. most people can afford an Android phone
- Comment on We don't need AI 2 weeks ago:
that’s an insult to bag clips which are actually useful and aren’t based on FUD propaganda
- Comment on We don't need AI 2 weeks ago:
congrats you just discovered offline Wikipedia

i think the real debate should be whether cis people should be allowed in sports. it makes my children uncomfortable to see them pushing their lifestyle down their throats
- Comment on How are people supposed to have secure/private communications in the digital era? 2 weeks ago:
reminds me of Garak from DS9. telling the truth and lying at the same time every time
- Comment on How are people supposed to have secure/private communications in the digital era? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s impossible to have truly private conversations not just with therapists but with any kind of legally mandated reporter. at the end of the day, they’ll always choose self preservation over losing their career just because the state is trying to disappear one of their patients. they can either hand your medical file over or lose their licence.
I’m sure a very small minority are willing to risk their license by falsifying records (see leftist therapists during the Holocaust), but most of them aren’t brave enough.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 3 weeks ago:
yes a lot of cultures went extinct but not because they didn’t have writing. it’s because there was no one left to pass on the knowledge.
if we think about it from the perspective of contemporary indigenous people, they know how to read and write but that’s a side effect of boarding schools. and it’s led to more intensive cultural extinction because of forced assimilation
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 3 weeks ago:
so all those genocides weren’t enough, you want a repeat with you at the helm?
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 3 weeks ago:
there’s no evidence or even claim of there having been any kind of writing or system for making information durable
sigh it’s called oral history and it was working just fine before the settlers showed up
- Comment on Doom (2016) now DRM free on GOG 4 weeks ago:
reminder that Microsoft is on the BDS boycott list. the devs won’t be seeing any money from a 2016 game so you might as well sail the seas
- Comment on There's a global pandemic somewhere just waiting for someone to do a dare 5 weeks ago:
you seem like the type of dipshit that assumes airborne viruses go away with handwashing
- Comment on There's a global pandemic somewhere just waiting for someone to do a dare 5 weeks ago:
fuck you and your eugenicist bullshit. “masks didn’t work” because most people wore surgicals instead of fit-tested N95s.
also people assuming they’re diligent maskers while dining indoors where covid somehow hits the pause button and waits for you to finish eating until you put your mask back on.
- Comment on There's a global pandemic somewhere just waiting for someone to do a dare 5 weeks ago:
you only think masks aren’t needed anymore because your privilege prevents you from experiencing the full consequences of your violence.
the long covid community has been clear that you shouldn’t go outside unmasked for years now. if you decide to continue ignoring us, that’s on you. and no, linking science that doesn’t consult disabled people doesn’t absolve you from your dangerous views
- Comment on There's a global pandemic somewhere just waiting for someone to do a dare 5 weeks ago:
On a final note, whilst we may speak of a time beyond the pandemic, we are still very much in the midst of one. We are not out of it yet. At the present time, the world continues to grapple with the Omicron variant
good job linking a source that disproves your own claim lol
- Comment on There's a global pandemic somewhere just waiting for someone to do a dare 5 weeks ago:
endemic according to who? eugenicists?
vaccines don’t prevent long covid or infection. there is still no sterilizing vaccine on the market. going in public unmasked while vaccinated doesn’t absolve you from the disabling or deadly consequences of you infecting vulnerable people
- Comment on There's a global pandemic somewhere just waiting for someone to do a dare 5 weeks ago:
ah yes, progressive eugenics
