Then again, discord is not outright fascist. Yes it’s a shitty company, but shitty companies are the standard

Twitter though? I feel as if a lot more people could go “if you want to ever talk with me again, go here” and people would follow. It’s a bit harder to argue for staying on twitter when all of this shit is going on

Then again, a lot of my friends are still on twitter despite me telling how fucking dangerous that site is now, so eh. I don’t really get it, though. Then again, I have little sympathy for people who complain that something is too complex just because it doesn’t do literally everything for you. A lot of people are just addicted to convenience, despite it harming them in the long run

You know, I think it’s interesting how this used to be considered the nutjob’s territory just a bit over 10 years ago. And now, at least for the USA, this might be the thing that keeps you out of jail.

It’s kinda frightening

As if a queer president could get elected these days

In the end worrying about this hypothetical is what made the situation actually life-threatening to queer people

But apartments in the middle of cities are more expensive than ever

He’s 54 years old

AI has been used for these things for decades, they are just in the background and not noticed by laypeople

Though the biggest issue is that when people say “AI” today, they mean specifically LLMs, but the world of AI is so much larger than that

People vastly underestimate the influence of chronic illness when it comes to adverse living situations

When you’re struggling to be productive and work due to health reasons, society treats you like trash, and often won’t give you the support you need. And this is a lot more common than people are willing to admit

I’ve read the contract of my internet provider. No limit

Then again, I don’t live in the US

You can explode without turning into pieces, though

Spoken like a true non-minority

Okay but the original comment never mentioned building codes, but the rental agreement

Also, on a final note…

Why the fuck would you limit yourself to only human senses when you have the capability to add more of any sense you want??

If you have the option to add something that humans don’t have, why wouldn’t you? As an example, humans don’t have gps either, but it’s very useful to have in a car

I’d rather have a future than pay 5% less for whatever it is I currently want

A browser, which is like the prime attack vector for malware and other nasty stuff, having direct memory access is so hilarious in hindsight

These days you try to sandbox everything as much as possible in the browser since the internet is like the least trusted environment there is

It is not the case with the earth and the moon. It would be if the moon was 40% more massive

It’s better to just use another browser that’s not looking to exploit you

I can tell you for a fact that if I were to unalive myself today my parents would blame it on social media, the school system being woke, queer people “confusing” me, vaccines, or whatever else

But they’d never look at themselves and think that maybe how they treated me as a child led to consequences that still heavily affect me today. Where their “parenting” led to mental health issues that I struggle with even still decently into my 20s

(And in case you’re worried, no I won’t kill myself, don’t worry)

I see a lot more people complaining/joking about arch users than arch users proselytizing

Yeah, it’s useful, you just gotta keep it on a short leash, which is difficult when you don’t know what you’re doing

Basically, it’s a useful tool for experienced developers that know what to look out for

Huh?? 😭
