Oh you have to deal with the actually gnarly parts of git… sending my condolences.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 4 days ago:
Wow, calling asking to identify if something is a thing by the name of the thing that it’s being asked about is “bully culture” now? This is a whole new low level of argument in the pro-AI take.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 5 days ago:
The fact that the thread is titled “is lutris slop now” is a clear indication that the intention of the poster wasn’t to contribute anything constructive but to attack the dev and put them on their back foot.
No, it was literally an important question to have answered. And booooy did the dev answer.

But in the end they are just tools to automate things
No. They are, specifically, tools to automate things in the most destructive way possible.

You can do that with 99.9% less damage to the environment and the working class with
git -f rebase, or even the old tried and true method ofrm -rf && git pull …. - Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 5 days ago:
AI does generate societal damage, but that’s mostly because of how companies abuse it and less because of the technology itself.
Don’t excuse the technology. It was created to be useless and wasteful. Every question on an AI engine helps burn down entire forests. Every AI that is kept awaken and serving dries the lagoons and rivers of an indigenous tribe, if not a small town. Every model is built upon the sustained theft of art, code and identity, to the point the main financers are proud of it and using it as legal justification.
People who are evil, made a tool for evil, and those using the tool of evil are doing little more than enabling evil. Number must go up.

Professionally I don’t feel like I have a choice, if I want to stay employed in the field at least.
On the contrary!
I’ve seen quite a number of “AI cleanup specialist” job offerings so far, and even a few consulting positions on training juniors away from using AI in development.
(No, I have not seen any position open on training management away from using AI…)
- Comment on Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity 1 week ago:
Well, the entire procedure requires you to first trust the snail mail chain in the first place, so it’s a different category of trust that “trust a CC provider”. Snail mail used to be sacred, but it’s been known not-to for a long while now. And at the point that you can expect the acabs are willing to inkdust and laser your mail for biological traces, that means you are facing a nation-state adversary with nation-state power, so you should be looking into nation-state level defenses instead.

I’m not sure entering the ponzi scheme that is cryptocurrencies would have helped in this case.
- Comment on Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity 1 week ago:
Furthermore, you can pay with bitcoin or even cash (sent to their HQ by mail). That way they’d have even less on you.
With the caveat that in some of their procedures they (seem to?) require to append account information in the mail, so if the postage can be traced back to you that’s an issue.

And that’s why I only use Proton’s free tiers. If they are going to openly support Dementia Don and openly hand out their users to fascist governments like Spain or the US, then I can at least do my part by being a financial burden to them.

When was that? They took in the Nazi gold.

How about regard? Even tho it’s also a verb.
- Comment on ..? 2 weeks ago:
This world is full of evil, we have to be willing to be what little good we can get for what it is until people start doing really better. If Operation Epstein kills 150 schoolgirls and Trump, I of course won’t be celebrating that 150 schoolgirls are dead, but also I’m not going to lie that Trump dying is the only good thing coming out of that. What, you want me to lament that Trump is dead?
- Comment on ..? 2 weeks ago:
I would celebrate Trump death but not the 150 children. Gotta learn to compartimentalize and all that, in a complex world.

I know but the problem is that if you pay for a VPN, that’s traceable which has its own sorts of issues (not to even mention KYC-like laws).
If there was a VPN service that was a, like, one-time payment only or that accepted giftcards that could be easier.

Set the VPN location to a country
Isn’t that a paid feature on most if not all VPNs that gluetun supports?

Lemmy.world mods. They are kinda like feddit.org mods. Whiny cocksuckers who are just so happy to vent their frustrations (or pretend ones) on their userbase.

Unneeded. We already have a tool for that it’s called blueprints, they haven’t failed in over 3000 years.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
You don’t need to actively punch everyone you see. Just punch the Nazis. For the privacy part, what one could reasonably do once the tech becomes affordable is to eg.: wear passive EMP devices or something similar that disable cameras near you (at some point, the tech has to fit in a space too small for EMP shielding).
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
If you want to bend and spread, you do you. You don’t have to tell us to “get over” it and share your fetish. That’s a not-nice thing to do.

Fair point. Very few if any news sites provide unique articles.
