It might take a while, but when your PC is working on it you are not and searching for words might be easier ^^

I’m excited to hear how well it works ^^

Long videos or voice notes where you’re usually just looking for a small snippet.

Yeah op is just having a crack at the wild situation.

Omg that is spot on. It really looks like they fired everyone but one guy who is busting off his ass to “get a game done” in the same development cycle.

Because you can see he’s trying but there’s no way he can actually fill this content desert.

I’m getting restraining order vibes

You’re probably right.

I do wanna say that as someone with autism, people do not treat it as wholesome in relationships. It’s definitely given a bit of leeway but in the grant scheme of things people will respect the idea of autism, but no one actually cares about what I deal with on a day-to-day basis and it sucks because people still get mad at you when they inevitably don’t realize a lot of things happen because of it.

I just have to assume a lot of people get used to the idea of mental disabilities, but they can not deal with them in person.

But not as big as th-

I’m sorry

Yes. As much as I hate Diddy, the big charges were very hard to prove and one could say this outcome speaks highly of the jury’s regard for a just outcome, and proves they put feelings aside.

Feelings are valid, but you are supposed to leave your feelings at the front of the courthouse, otherwise verdicts would be very volatile and trials would be an indictment on the person, and not what they did.

Definitely Rocholas.

That would be insane from separation of power perspective (which admittedly doesn’t look great, but we’re not at that point yet).

Because it’s so many victims, Epstein was federal, and this means it’s in the hands of the FBI, although they would probably have a dedicated team just for this.

But the FBI only interfaces with the DOJ in that regard afaik, so the president should have no say in this. And another agency most definitely does not unless this interjects government processes of those agencies, which it does not.

Because of all the shenanigans going on we can never be 100% sure but this has layers of separation from DOGE.

I think this is an article about this order for summary judgement in Bartz v Anthropic

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69058235/231/bartz-v-anthropic-pbc/

The articles is really stretching it’s sources. If you read the order, the judge mentions Anthropic has pirated lots of books just to keep in a library, and thus he grants summary judgement for all of those, which means Anthropic will have to pay damages on all of those.

He does say that the ones they only trained on and that were not pirated are excluded, but that’s because this is summary judgement, so the facts are all assumed in the light most favourable to the defendant. That will be finally addressed in a verdict if this comes to trial.

So basically the judge said pirating shit is so egregious, there’s no way they can levy fair use for that. Which I think is the right decision.

The article and the court document really paint two very different pictures, which does not speak to the journalistic integrity.

I don’t write essays often, but when I do it is because things are bothering me. Specifically, these memes are plenty and basically tell me someone like me doesn’t exist. When this collides with people who say things like “I honestly can’t imagine how you can use windows with all the crap” I get annoyed, and at this point I just wanted to make sure the people who write this know that there’s lots of people like me who have good reasons.

Turns out the world is multi-facetted.

Similar for me.

I understand I’m born male and I also enjoy very heterosexual life, but I don’t really express lots of masculine traits. It just doesn’t fit my personality. Also imagining myself as a woman is kinda nice, but I also don’t really have a strong desire to go down that route and I feel like in some ways I’m more myself when I just don’t think about the concept of gender and think more about what is me.

There will be a day where I will proudly wear skirts outside but I don’t have one to fit my size and it probably wouldn’t look good on me right now. But I will get there and I’m in no rush, life is a fever dream anyway.

So can I relate? Hell yeah. It’s probably a bit different to you but when you’re not necessarily fitting in anyway it’s easier to come to realize who you are and start searching for how you wanna look and who you wanna be. Just don’t force yourself. If you wanna wear a skirt, try it out. If you wanna put on make up, try it (one of my friends literally gifted me some).

Fuck everything, we’re on a big rock in space fired upon by sub lethal rays and people pretend to do something and be someone every day even though everyone’s just winging it. No one is wise to their identity, some people are complacent or ignorant, but as long as you feel kinda good today, then you did something for yourself :)

I am one of those people.

I’m sorry but I can’t dedicate the time. Last time I tried to install it for someone else I went down a 5h rabbit hole of finding a driver for a scanner, and I was at the point where I had custom pkg repositories and needed to fix pkg dependency conflicts myself and I don’t have the OS knowledge to do all this, and I didn’t have time because I had to travel back again.

When I tried installing it for myself, I was missing critical software for a variety of things. For example, there’s no good DAW on Linux, and even if there was, lots of VST plugins are only Linux compatible. Things like Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects have no solid alternative to this day for Linux and hence I’m struggling to replace them. Blender is on Linux (obv) but for example render engines usually only come with software for windows.

And then there’s a bunch of things where I’m not sure how compatible they are even if they were to run on Linux. Office uses proprietary file format constraints to lock down their ecosystem. Sucks, but everyone uses it, so I’m stuck. Unreal Engine, lots games, my audio interface, drivers for obscure small devices I need? I just don’t know and I have to dedicate time to researching all of it.

I hope you can see why someone like me has a very hard time just switching over. Yes I can just pull the plug and do it, but I will get no work done for a solid 2 weeks and even after that I will be heavily constrained.

And this all on top of the fact that I regularly set up Linux VMs for specific things which break way too often on regular use. Which also does not spark joy.

I hope you can understand why I’m fine debloating windows with Chris Titus for half an hour and then just enjoying 4 years on it without worrying about all of that is easier.

And believe me, I bought a notebook and will try to go CachyOS x KDE Plasma on that, but it will be an experiment and I have lots of doubt that this can replace my setup.

Those down votes are wild.

I love Mario, but man fuck the management of that company. The prices, the disloyalty to the communities, copyright disputes, …

There’s no way working with palantir raises your reputation. That shit is contagious, palantir is like black rock but digital. Literally investing into automated warfare. Who wants a robot that shoots people. Fuck that.

To answer your question while ignoring your dishonesty, bias and ulterior motives:

I would be exactly the same level of annoyed. I have a distrust for any government especially when they play war or when they threaten others.

That said, some governments have proven to be more straightforward and predictable than others, and I definitely prefer those. That doesn’t mean I’m gonna fall in love with one soon, these things only lead to authorianism and I think we can agree between Hitler and Mussolini that’s not an aspiring state to live in.

I would love to have a nuanced conversation, because as someone from Europe, I do have a very nuanced view on all of this and I feel bad for the civilians who get caught in the crossfire of these conflicts, but unfortunately you are basically killing any platform where these nuanced conversations are possible when you’re trying to strengthen your position by using rhetorical questions.

There’s no winners in discussions, and they are only productive if everyone is there to speak, listen, and learn. And that way I can understand why the hell you are doing what you’re doing and maybe respect you a bit, while you understand the same about and stop trying to “catch” other people in something. Because that’s not what these communities are for and you are being an asshole.

Finally someone making good use of those vaccines

Thanks for being a good sport about it ^^
