I mean, what do you expect from an explicitly (m)arxist-(l)eninist instance. Their entire religion is "west bad, russia and china literally the best" and censoring any wrongthink. And yet there you are implying Russia is behind a bad thing. Of course they'd take action against you.

Imo fediverse projects really need to federate instance rules. Just include them in the instance actor (if they aren't already) like you'd do with a community, then use them if available.

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

@KekunPlazas alors je copie:
Alors on est 100% d'accord que les êtres humains font partie d'Animalia 😁
C'est juste que je creuse un truc sur le contexte d'animaux non humains "issus" de l'activité humaine.
Genre est-ce qu'on a des contes / fables /histoires a mobiliser quand on parle d'avancees techniques comme Dolly la brebis clonée

@jeffjarvis Great article, Jeff. It breaks down so much of what's going on with "AI".

anyway, whenever someone says something like "LLMs have finally made programming accessible to normal people!" I try to remember that the Silicon And Fossil Fuel Pyramid Scheme Industry has spent literally hundreds billions of dollars in an effort to convince you that computers were *already difficult to use* (a grift that computer programmers are largely in on!) and to politicize LLMs as being "easy to use" in contrast

"I have no insight into how this will turn out. But a real leadership battle is good regardless. It makes whoever gets the job know that the demands of the moment are chasing them, lashing at their feet. No one should be comfortable in a situation like this."

ladies and gentlemen,

this game has one

Shadow Temple done, and getting up to date with my fairy powers.

Technology hill I will die on:

Digital sovereignty is bad in the sense it is usually meant, which is control by the nation state (or by those loyal to the nation state, above what is ethical/moral).

It's very in vogue right now vis a vis the amount of digital control US-based Big Tech has.

But "on-shoring" the Torment Nexus and slapping "Made in [My Nation State]" on it is not solving the problem.

Let's not make Torment Nexi.

@temptoetiam @podittmar Pour une raison qui m'échappe, je peux pas voir ce message. 😢

(the trope of the "computer nerd" in media is such an effective embodiment of both sides of this rhetoric that its prevalence almost seems like a conspiracy imo)

(c) programmers are predisposed to convincing others that programming is too complicated for "normal people" as a means of job security and achieving social status; computer manufacturers and their software-making friends are predisposed to a marketing message that states: computers are too difficult for normal people, so buy this new machine/software, which is finally the computer/software that normal people can use! together both sides form a kind of mutual ratchet imo

So far it seems like I've been lucky. I'm sure I'll eventually discover something wrong, but so far it looks like everything I depend upon the most is fully compatible with MacOS 27.

I work with hazardous waste. The real nasty stuff. We don't really have spillages, but on the rare event these things happen I'm always disappointed that I don't turn into a superhero. I'm 40 years old.

@mattblaze Is it some purity thing?

"I maintain my purity by not voting for the least worst candidate?".

Personally a reason why I like STV, I got to vote 1 for a really cool clown for mayor (clearly actually quite a sharp chap), the frustratingly centrist somewhere in the middle and still put the loonies last.
