  Don’t you think it’s wise to educate children on what it’s like to be incarcerated? Those camps weren’t build just to house immigrants.

  Go that way and keep going until you see the sign marked none of your fucking business.

  Medical help. Other than that, nothing that a local LLM couldn’t do.

  Eventually I believe it’s going to result it worse care for the most people, but in the meantime, for some people it will mean early interventions. Maybe cure diseases… What humanity does from there I don’t care to guess because it will probably be worse.

  It was pruned. It will grow back. It’s growing back now. There will be an Internet post American dominance and it will use open source.

  Open source didn’t crumble under the weight of inevitability. It fell apart because corporate interests profiting off of it decided it was more profitable to create cultures antithetical to the guardrails that open source presents to exploitation and co-option.

  Yeah screw all those disabled people who benefit from it. We’ll just group them in with the other counterfactuals you have to ignore to maintain an opinion like yours.

  Sorry but if you can’t make LLMs useful there is something wrong with you. The problwm with this whole system is that it’s very helpful and valuable to the average person, as well as experts.

  I’m sorry I wish you were correct but this narrative that LLMs don’t work is false and bourne out of lack of experience or just flat out lies.

  Lies will not defeat our very powerful opponents here, nor their massive and expensive weapons.

  Pretending the enemy is useless when the opposite is true is just leaving yourself and your allies unprepared.

  It might be helpful to the movement if memes kike this weren’t blatantly untrue.

  Nonsense. Open source built the web. Open source isn’t some new anti fascist trend… What are you smoking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This article is on the verge of making sense. The hell kind of nonsense is this. Files can be recovered but don’t worry not yours unless something happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It sure does. It’s an article about your deleted data being accessible by Google engineers then spends the rest of the article backtracking.

  Me too but mostly because it’s kind of awkward

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires with $1 salaries – and other legal tax dodges the ultrawealthy use to keep their riches⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  to keep their riches

  Avoiding paying taxes is different than keeping your own wealth. What they do is more like stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, literally from hungry kids in need.

  Gen Z will not comply with this. They’d rather lick boots and get bullied by chuds. They treat social media networks like kids in the 80s treated 7-11. And they will not leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol. I can vouch for this.

  Hell my friends are still Stans for IRC and will literally argue it has everything you need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Alternatives, Ranked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Spacebar.chat is a really easy one to join that I found. And it’s really a straight clone of Discord but without all the crap. It’s decentralized so you can self host or join and instance and start your own “server” on there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally nothing to miss! All the communities I liked all fell apart and/or swung to the fascist right long ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know. I totally agree. But holy shit onboarding is terrible with Matrix. If people struggle wrapping their head around Mastodon, this is much worse.

  I found Lemmy to be the easiest onboarding of all the federated networks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are great private messaging solutions, but not great for hosting communities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Discord took the place of IRC. Chatlogs for IRC were rarely indexed by most channel admins until after about 2010 when projects like freenode hosted all the open source projects for the whole web.

  It was purchased by some right wing billionaire and now it is no longer.

  Unfortunately this isn’t true. My GenZ niece is trans. Her and her friends believe they have to stay on there for “Reach” and for each other. They are now nearly 4 years into being brainwashed. She explained to me last year how activism was just a meme. (This was before the recent protests)

  This platform has trans people believing that pronouns are why things broke down. This is not me using hyperbole, which I often do. Just is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my thought. The weird inconsistent diagnoses, and sending people to the emergency room for nothing has been exactly my experience with doctors over and over again.

  You need doctors and a Chatbot, and lots of luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s too bad the open source community couldn’t find some programmers to help them make an alternative.

  If Gen Z had left Twitter when Musk ruined it this wouldn’t be happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then they will decide that links to some news stories aret appropriate for kids.No more pesky videos of ICE executing people in the street.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, let them in so they can tell you you were right. Honestly. I’m one of them. I regret migrating away but nobody was left on IRC. Turns out it’s better that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been trying so hard to work with Matrix. Then once you get it going everything is dead.

  It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Policies on hate speech could include automatic fact checking and community notes.

  Yep. It’s absurd. Who spends that much on a 4TB?
