@Akhuyan@lemmy.world: maybe it’d be a good idea to make a separate community for nsfw/porn community announcements…? I feel like I’ve been getting massively spammed by the ones coming out of fedinsfw - and I’m sure I’m not alone, judging from the downvotes.

I mean… yes and no. I am aggressively progressive and rather socialistic, and I have seriously enjoyed the time I’ve spent in Thailand - the food is INCREDIBLE, and I’d love to get the chance to explore the country more. And Thailand is relatively inexpensive, not counting the flights.
But I also really enjoy Japan and pretty much everywhere I’ve been to in Europe. And on the flip side, besides the food (yes that’s a pattern for me lol), I’m not a huge fan of SK - it’s just so hypercapitalistic and shopping-centric (at least in Seoul, which is where I’ve spent the vast majority of my time there), which really isn’t my speed.

But seriously, I don’t think the regime is going to volunteer rebates. I think they’re going to hold on to the cash until and unless corporations and individuals who have paid those tariffs sue the government and win.

- Comment on In hindsight why was/is america upset they elected a leader who constantly lies while making fun of politicians literally and figurativly for years that they lie there ass off? Y B Shocked? 5 days ago:
I was furious that I felt like I was essentially forced to vote for Harris, but I did, as a tactical electoral decision.
But very obviously, there are an absolutely enormous amount of people here who are sick to death of corporatist neoliberal bullshit that the Democratic rank and file consistently perpetrates, while seemingly under the impression that everyone’s too dumb to realize that’s what’s going on.
Well, their bluff got called - and yes, it happened in just about the worst context it possibly could have, but then again, the DNC thought they could phone it in (yet again) and it blew the fuck up in their face. The Democratic Party absolutely deserved that outcome (not to mention: pretty much all of the party leaders appear to have learned absolutely nothing from this shitshow). It’s just an absolute tragedy that said outcome also has the implication of fully destroying any remaining vestige of Pax Americana, any pretense of altruism in American foreign policy and geopolitical action, democracy itself in the US, and perhaps even the US itself in the mid- to long-term (i.e. I would not be terribly shocked if the US ends up balkanized in the coming decade or two). And it was all predictable and avoidable, and nothing was done because, in addition to a complete and total lack of political will, too many people were making too much money for too long of a time, and didn’t want any of that shit disrupted.
Anyways I’m gonna go have a cig or something, jesus fucking fuck

If you think engineering types are running Big Tech these days, you are not paying attention.
To wit: the vast majority of competent engineer friends and colleagues I know view LLM codegen crap as categorical snake oil. But all the C-suites are busy circlejerking about it and pumping that bubble.

Look to China and the saga of the J-11 (and related airframes) for more context on that.

I do love how a term from SW:(T)CW is being used as an epithet against LLM/generative slop.
But ackshually I also have to point out that the image is from SW:CW, which is pretty much devoid of dialogue, while the line comes from SW:TCW 🤓
