- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 2 hours ago:
Because Microsoft owns github.
Even without them plugging LLMs into it, using it all as training data, they could easily do a more standard enshittification of it.
Oh you have a free github account, you can do X amount of pulls and commits per month, otherwise, subscribe to GitHubPro for $5 a month.
Oh you host some software that’s used to antagonize our corporate partners?
Even though its not actually illegal?
Poof, gone, just like when the credit card companies decided nsfw games are verbotten.
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 2 hours ago:
Basically anywhere that LLMs are implemented… they are a security vulnerability, for any situation in which they are not sandboxed.
Anything they can interface with?
You can probably trick it or exploit it into doing something unintended or unexpected to anything else it is connected to.
Theoretically you could use an LLM to do something like come up with more accurate heuristics for identifying malware.
But… they’re nowhere near ‘intelligent’ enough to like, give it a whole code base for some kind of software, and thoroughly make that software 100% secure.

He’s got a Trump For President sign.
Yeah.
For about 4 months in 99 and 2000, Trump actually did try to run for President, as the candidate of the Reform Party.
Apparently it was Jesse Ventura that convinced him, and Trump stated that Oprah Winfrey would be his ideal VP running mate.

Guys, what you need to do to be competetive, to foster competition… is keep using all our products and services.
Setting up a fund to get new people involved, to get some more money to existing software devs who work on comparable products and servicrs that could be expanded and improved?
No no no, thats uh, that’s anti-competetive, is what that is.
Mhm.
Yep.

- Comment on PB&J 3 days ago:
I did try and explain how to avoid potential infections in an edit… before any insertions, make sure the involved areas, and a certain radius around them are thoroughly cleaned off of any uh, food product.
Like, clean up the whole area around people’s thighs and groin before you go ‘in’ to anything, for the gal, probably just don’t ever get any food product too directly close to where it could end up inside anywhere that has its own kind of sensitive self-regulating environment.
Sort of like with ‘never go ass to mouth’… either eat the gal out before food stuffs get into your mouths, or, have the other party just actually brush their teeth.
We had a number of disposable and non disposable towels and such on hand, beyond uh, orally prepping each other. Along with the pre prep of shower curtains, we put all our clothes into an unused garbage bag before we started… we realized that we’d only be able to lie or stand on or press against things or surfaces that we’d pre setup a shower curtain over, otherwise we’d leave a vaguely human shaped pb&j blotch on it…
…we did a significant amount of preplanning to account for just how generally messy this likely would be.
Then, the thorough shower afterward really is needed to get stuff off of the rest of your bodies, totally out of each other’s hair and such. You… kind of actually do need both people present to help the other get their hair as clean as possible, as gently as possible. If somebody has longer hair, probably tie it into a bun or ponytail or something, do your best not to intentionally palm or grab it.
Now, I cannot with any confidence speak to how well this kind of procedure would like… generally work with other people following it, repeating 10s or 100s of instances of it.
YMMV, there way be factors I am not remembering or considering that could be relevant.
Like obviously we both did not have any STDs, had been fairly recently screened, weren’t fucking anybody else in the interim.
Also, though I don’t think either of us knew it at the time… pretty sure we’re both autistic, hence the… mutual attention to details and contingency planning.
But anyway, I can say that the one time that we did this, nobody had any kind of infection afterward, yeast or otherwise.
As to Ratatat?
Perks of being a hipster, I guess, lol?

One person gets a good deal of their nude body covered in peanut butter.
The other gets jam.
You can start in little dollops on specific areas, neckline, tip of an ear, maybe tip of the nose if you’re feeling kinda funny… other areas… and then uh… clean them up… as if it was edible…
… or you can just get right down to being bread and making the sandwich.
Just make sure to keep the actual uh … lock and key, make sure they are well good and clean before you try to unlock any doors.
Don’t wanna end up with a yeast infection or any other kind of infection.
Its basically impossible to totally keep all your hair 100% clean, (unless you both use hair nets i guess maybe?), hence the thorough and rigorous and lengthy shower afterward.
Do let me know if this piques your friend’s … appetite.

There are also fully electric, battery powered, full-on motorcycles, like those by Zero.
There are also … I don’t even know what you call these, mini-bikes? Mini-motorcycles?
Like the Honda Grom:

Which, as you can see, are pretty dang close to the same size as some E-Bikes.
Which one is street legal, where?
What exactly is each of these things categorized as, legally, colloquially?

- Comment on PB&J 3 days ago:
I find this funny because I actually did once have a peanut butter jelly sex sandwich with someone.
Long story short, she dared me to, we used shower curtains over the bed… and floor… and took our sweet and sticky time showering off afterward.
… didn’t think to uh, make any pictures or anything of it, fortunately or unfortunately.
So uh, good memories from this image, lol.

… you do realize you are a clown person, right?
Do you do this often, just a total 180 flip on your position, and then just move on as if that isn’t what happened?
And you go blathering on about some new thing that should be focused on, no acknowledgement that in about 1 hr of other people giving you basic, basic relevant facts to what you are claiming, that you are completely wrong?
You’re talking out your ass, you’re just saying things, having not the first clue what you are talking about.

I have not used Discord in years, but I guess it would depend on what exactly consitutes NSFW chat or content.
Like… how much just current modern news around Esptein can be discussed on a non NSFW rated discord community?
I genuienly don’t know.

Well theres also the near certainty that they’re reading everyones messages with some kind of LLM agent that they say is their ‘system that runs in the background’ that attempts to auto-determine if you are a kid or not.
Thats regardless of whether or not you also give them your ID or face.
And, if you habe connected Discord to any other apps? Other apps that you maybe pay for things with? Or you pay for Nitro?
They know who you are.

Hah, oh god I remember Rainbow Six on the N64, yes, the controls were clunky as fuck, but, it… was a pretty insane thing to even attempt a tactical shooter with specific squad commands.
I remember just basically figuring out how to map out a good engagement plan for like… an hour.
Then you hit go and basically, the game can often basically just play itself.

- Comment on i mean 6 days ago:
Goldeneye and Perfect Dark both actually have a set of control schemas…
Where you play with two of these, at the same time.
As well as a number of different one handed configurations, that essentially make it possible to play those games with hands on the left and right prongs, left and center, or right and center.
You may or may not find some of them wonky, but … yeah, it was a perhaps needlessly versatile design, though also very innovative, though also a bit weird.
I’m pretty sure it was literally the first home game console controller with an analog stick, an actual true analog stick, not counting joysticks with huge bases and a button or two.
This is also the same era where the early Mario party games had minigames where you were supposed to spin thr control stick in a circle very fast.
So uh, beyond that being terrible for the controller…
A good number of kids figured out that you can just grip the center prong and then palm the stick, move it much much faster… but also tearing through your own hand and giving you blisters.
So Nintendo stopped putting those kinds of minigames in Mario Party, and basically issued a health advisory telling people not to do that.

… Apparently they actually got sued.
… and offered to give the injured parties… gloves.
