Ask yourself. What motive does someone have to want trump dead?

Hint: a large number of someones have a large number of motives

Fatally

Man… How much would it change the general public’s perception of these protest if we stopped calling these protestors “Pro-Palestine” and started calling them “Anti-Genocide”

“You’re hosting hate speech. We have laws that say you can’t do that and offer your service in our jurisdiction. Remove the hate speech or we’ll fine you”

“THIS IS AN ILLEGAL SECRET DEAL”

Its also a breakdown of America’s willingness to resist authoritarianism. Too many people would rather have a Russian authoritarian government because they’re scared of socialism because they’ve been primed to fear it. Ironically they’re turning to a soviet fascist to protect them from soviet socialism

No one wants to ban technology outright. What we’re saying is that the big LLMs are actively harmful to us, humanity. This is not fear mongering. This is just what’s happening. OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta are stealing from humanity at large and setting the planet on fire to do it. For years they told us stealing intellectual property on an individual level was a harmful form of theft. Now they’re doing the same kind of theft bit its different now because it benefits them instead of us.

What we are arguing is that this is bad. Its especially extra bad because with the death of big search a piece of critical infrastructure to the internet as we know it is now just simply broken. The open source wonks you celebrate are working on fixing this. But just because someone criticizes big tech does not mean they criticize all tech. The truth is the FAANG companies plus OpenAI and Microsoft are killing our planet for it to only benefit their biggest shareholders

Didn’t see any mention of dungeon crawl stone soup so I’m adding it here

Sure thing. Just remember its better to do things you want to do rather than waiting for things to be perfect. Lord knows its something I need reminded of sometimes

1. No better time than the present
2. Yes there are ways of acquiring the latest packages even on Debian stable. Usually I end up compiling that stuff myself
3. If you’re at all unsure if you want to deal with Debian not pushing the latest and greatest updates you do have options such as running Debian Testing or MX Linux (which itself is based on Debian Testing)

SAFe SCRUM is a fucking scam. Anyone who proposes it as a solution to a problem is out of touch and doesn’t recognize a waterfall when they see one

They’re terrorists, warlords, and sometimes both

Yuuup. This blog post is the exact sentiment I see from people with postgraduate degrees in the field of machine learning. The current, public facing, machine learning AI implementations are various forms of theft, grift, and exploitation. They exist as the new testaments to violence of the neocolonial era

Old man yells at exploitative capitalist practices*

PornHub is a monopoly. They own xnxx, redtube, xhamster, and several production companies such as brazzers. Their categorization system has also had some ranging impacts on actresses’ ability to get work after they turn 22. I highly recommend listening to The Butterfly Effect by Jon Ronson.

ALSO so we’re clear, I’m not a fan of this legislation because its dumb as fuck and doesn’t help anyone, least of all sex workers. When people lose easy access to porn it usually results in WORSE conditions for sex workers because suddenly there’s more demand in places without safety infrastructure.

This particular platform (Lemmy) probably isn’t the place to get the movement going either. Some of the biggest instances are chock full of folks thinking this particular genocide isn’t real

Bruv you are severely misremembering the movement that allowed the alt right to coalesce. No one is saying it’s bad to not buy products you don’t want to buy. We’re saying it’s seriously concerning the racism and sexist that attached itself to that movement has congealed into something permanent in our political climate

I think it’s the result of a vast misinformation campaign. To get the LLMs to show political bias you have to pump them full of twisted language and lies until eventually they start saying everything that’s true is false

So… Yes and no. Yes from the perspective that there can be a feeling of FOMO and some entire communities on the big instances that see a lot of activity that you can’t access here. I use slrpnk.net to see those. But the thing is when I log into slrpnk (which is VERY well moderated) it doesn’t take me long to find some horrible awfulness that has found a platform here in the fediverse. Genocide denial, alt right bullshit, authoritarian communist bullshit (which isn’t even communism, GODDAMMIT), it’s all out there right under the surface across some of the biggest Lemmy instances. Its bad enough it makes me not want to log into log in to see what’s going on on Lemmy most days, so I don’t. I probably check beehaw about once a week and slrpnk about once a month.

I’m very excited to see where sublinks goes and if they can put together a version of a federated link aggregator with moderation tools that work

I also hate that the grammatical standard for all cap pluralization is to include an apostrophe. What is it the Oakland A’s possess!?

Wyoming is investing heavily in wind even with the understanding that current turbine designs ultimately cost money to repair and operate as opposed to being a solution that pays for itself. The conversion of a coal plant to nuclear is part of a long term strategy to reduce environmental impact. They’re taking a long view approach that solar and wind can’t in the short term do what they need it to do but that continued use of coal, at all, even just for the short term, is untenable. Meanwhile, Wyoming is ALSO investing in research on using nuclear byproducts to generate electricity. I have a lot of complaints about Wyoming and how chill they are with the alt-right but I have to commend them that their energy strategy for their state basically reflects what we all need to be doing
