Your technological and biological distinctiveness will be added to our own, sorry.

Another one of those flat galaxyers

Will RTX haïr work for me, too?

It looks like ‘ratshit’ is misspelled

Deep shit

Looks good.
Don’t stray too far from the desk.
- Comment on New Series Watching Plan Feedback 1 year ago:
That’s pretty cool. I knew some shows’ plots were in parallel, but it’s surprising seeing all the interleaving. I hope they update it with the new seasons soon. …blogspot.com/…/and-now-conclusion.html?m=1
- Comment on Monty Python? 1 year ago:
He must stay there until lunchtime with maybe raktajino at 11. Poke him with … the cushions!
- Comment on Grocery stores should have food banks 1 year ago:
One benefit of colocating the food bank with the grocery store is that shoppers could make direct contributions to the food bank. Instead of those questionable ‘donate $1 to such and such’ prompts at payment, one could purchase an extra can of food and discreetly drop it off after checkout. Seeing the beneficiaries in person is confidence the grocery store isn’t just making a money grab.
Since most of us have to buy groceries, it would also provide shoppers a convenient opportunity to practice compassion. Sometimes a bad day can be turned around by doing something good.
- Comment on Grisham, Martin join authors suing OpenAI: “There is nothing fair about this” 1 year ago:
Overlap yes, equal no. I don’t believe either of my comments included a complaint. People are entitled their opinions. My original and new remarks were only observations, no offense intended.
- Comment on Grisham, Martin join authors suing OpenAI: “There is nothing fair about this” 1 year ago:
My comment addresses my perception of Lemmy users, not the open source community. These two groups are not the same as is evidenced by the frequent complaints on the front page about open source gatekeeping and quantity of open source topics.
Let me add, I’m also a long time user and contributor of/to open source and free software. I think it’s not correct to assume we’re a single group that all share the same opinion. Best, cloudy1999
- Comment on Grisham, Martin join authors suing OpenAI: “There is nothing fair about this” 1 year ago:
This has been a surprise for me. I see this community as pro privacy, anti big tech, and anti capitalism. AI seems like a hot button issue at the confluence of all three, and yet comments suggest many have rose tinted glasses for tech companies with LLMs.

You idiots! You found Tim Russ’s stunt double!
- Comment on Striking actor Stephen Fry says his voice was stolen from the Harry Potter audiobooks and replicated by AI 1 year ago:
This, and it’s not a human. All these analogies trying to liken a learning algorithm to a learning human are not correct. An LLM is not a human.
- Comment on Striking actor Stephen Fry says his voice was stolen from the Harry Potter audiobooks and replicated by AI 1 year ago:
This hits the nail on the head. A major component of art is that it’s an outlet of human creativity, something we find fulfilling to both produce and consume. If creativity is delegated to machines, what’s left for us humans? At some point, we’ll grow tired of Taco Bell and re-runs, and what then?
- Comment on I drew this during some dead time while at work 1 year ago:
Something about trees. They’re always a comfort to look at. Willows more so, thanks!

You are on this bridge crew, but we do not grant you the rank of lieutenant. Take a seat Ensign Kim.
Oops, wrong community
- Comment on I know I had one! 1 year ago:
Every single time. Mine is a heavy plastic tote full of carefully coiled cables. I dread taking it out, and rarely find the one I was hoping would be there.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Agreed. I think Enterprise is an excellent show. Wrt the theme: it captures the optimistic spirit of trek. Perseverance, discovery, opportunity, and belief in the human spirit. Granted, it’s definitely the ‘right-most dragon’ of Star Trek themes, but I’ll always have a soft spot for it.

Meanwhile at Risa: “Did someone say Horga’hn?”
- Comment on Google is enabling Chrome real-time phishing protection for everyone 1 year ago:
I often wonder, “Can’t my web browser keep Alphabet better apprised of my personal life and interests?” Yes, it can! Finally, an ad company that ‘gets me’.
- Comment on I finally created the perfect JavaScript runtime: No-JS 1 year ago:
One cool thing is that the comments are self documenting. I read the program earlier and it’s quite clear what it does. Excellent accomplishment, dear colleague!
- Comment on Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years 1 year ago:
Not to worry my dear Wordpad coders: Neovim is a good alternative. One can always set wrap and the default font to Times New Roman.

Great Sto’Vo’Kor! What a crossover!

It’s pronounced ‘Data’

I’ve been listening to the soundtrack recently. It’s so relaxing. I think my favorite track is Macalania Woods.
