The best protest is to stop moderating. Lie flat. Let the subreddit go to shit.

Philanthropy is PR for billionaires. If we taxed them, we would have a social safety net and no need for their pet projects.
Well what’s the point of self driving if you can’t have a wank on the drive home?
Not a whole lot.
So, yeah. What’s a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?
This is great! Now we don’t have to let any immigrants in. Instead we can have them do all our menial chores remotely with this robot and we don’t have to give them citizenship. Everyone wins! Huzzah!
And my guess would be a fraction of those warned would phone the scammers back to find another way to pay them. Some folks can’t bear to know they’ve been tricked.
This just confirms the worst case scenario for me. This might be posturing, but it’s far more likely ByteDance can’t reveal how much command the CCP has over the data.
lemm.ee is already defederated. Didn’t even have to do anything. I think I chose the right instance.
Edit: defederated not federated
REPORTER: Where does your data come from?
CTO: Bitch, are you trying to get me sued?
Number go up mean safe go down.
I found that it helps if you ask chatGPT 4 to act as a Vulcan from Star Trek, it does better with logic puzzles. But it doesn’t work with 3.5.
It does amazingly well with schemas:
When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped. What does “it” refer to: the rabbit or the dog?
In the sentence “When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped,” the pronoun “it” refers to the dog, not the rabbit.
This is because the rabbit is described as “dead,” meaning it cannot hop or move. The verb “hopped” implies movement, which can only logically apply to the living subject in the sentence, which is the dog.
So the intended meaning is that when the dog saw the dead rabbit, the dog itself hopped, likely in surprise or reaction to seeing the dead animal.
When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk. What does “it” refer to: the iceberg or the ship?
In the sentence “When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk,” the pronoun “it” refers to the ship, not the iceberg.
The reason is that icebergs, being large masses of ice floating in water, do not actually “sink” when struck. They are already floating and may crack or break apart when struck, but the word “sunk” implies something going down below the water’s surface.
Ships, on the other hand, are vessels designed to float on water. If a ship strikes an iceberg with enough force, it can cause damage that leads to the ship taking on water and eventually sinking below the surface.
So in this context, with the verb “sunk” being used, it is more logical that “it” is referring to the ship sinking after striking the iceberg, rather than describing what happened to the stationary iceberg itself.
Do you have a link or something? I’d like to check it out.
Do yourself a favor and read Walkaway. My favorite book. The structure is a bit of a departure from Doctorow’s other books. More like Kim Stanley Robinson in that there is a group of characters but the real main character is the birth of a post scarcity society.
William Gibson wrote Neuromancer, and it had an incredible cultural impact. But everything else he wrote hasn’t come close. I’ve read the Bigend trilogy. Can’t really remember anything that happened in those books.
On the other hand, Cory Doctorow is the writer I wish I was. He does high tech thrillers the way they’re supposed to be. Attack Surface is excellent, a master class in a flawed but sympathetic main character. Just read Red Team Blues. Doctorow reveals how interesting forensic accounting really is.
I use Netlify to host my frontend projects and portfolio. Does anyone have a way to prevent something like this?
Ah… guillotines!? Did I miss something?
Maybe Elon did it during a drug binge and just forgot about who he banned the next day.
It’s assholes like this that make dudes in fedoras look bad. This and -you know- the hats themselves.
