Figures that a slop company’s CEO wouldn’t have words of his own, rather have the machine generate slop for him, but this stuck out

We can’t stop the bus, but we can steer it …

What a bullshit statement. It’s not that you can’t stop it, but rather that you won’t stop it. It’s an active choice you’re making, and not a compulsion like in the case of a kleptomaniac. Machine learning isn’t some natural force, it’s entirely man-made and we can stop whenever we want.

No, you’re not uncontrollable kleptomaniacs, you’re just doing the same shit the rich elite has always done; you exploit the world around you and you get away with it scot-free.

Also, you can stop a bus. It’s an integral part of how they fucking operate. Not that I’d expect a CEO to have ever been on one.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would’ve been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that’s just not doable.

I’d like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it. I haven’t read up enough about the bridge thing to figure out if it actually serves a purpose I’d be interested in or not.

I spent nearly three hours today between discord and matrix trying to figure out how to get these two pieces of software to talk using a certain protocol.

Imagine if there were online indexable platforms where people could publish this information so it’s easily accessible rather than having to scour through message logs hoping to find the right keywords. Such a technology surely doesn’t exist already, right?

I hate discord.

Lots to learn here today! Thanks everyone!

Lähdetään uimaan!

I guess I’ve pictured electricity a bit too much like water. I still don’t quite get how or why this works, but it’s really cool that it does!

That said I’ve no plans on messing around with that kind of thing as I’m terrified of electricity. I electrocuted myself as a kid and that experience stuck. Rather like I did to the dough hooks I stuffed into an extension cord.

Yay for Neo-Nazis in government. :(

Huh, the wiring just supports power spontaneously coming from an exit point rather than an entry? Is that commonplace?

Either way, that’s fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me!

Microsoft is so deep in the AI nonsense that asking them to stop pushing CoPilot is time wasted that could be better spent on something else, like moving to a different platform. I honestly don’t really see the point of remaining on GitHub. To me at least it doesn’t offer anything particularly important I can’t get elsewhere.

I’m paying $850/mo. for my 2-roomer, with a glassed in balcony. Would definitely forego my balcony if I could pay only 350 for it, but that’s a pipedream. $500 upcharge for a balcony is nuts.

Then again, my dear friend spontaneously got her rent increased by like $1500/month a couple years back, and that sort of practice would be illegal where I live, so I could see how charging $500 more per month for a balcony would be a thing.

I’ve never heard of balcony solar panels, much less ones you plug right into an outlet? Asked my German roomie and he’s got no clue either.

How does plugging a power source into an outlet work? I’m no electrician, so that sounds bananas to me.

Visa marriages! I think here in Sweden at least it’s not super difficult to get permanent residency via cohabitation, and cohabitation doesn’t even require any particular paperwork. Granted, it’s been a while since I looked into it, and with a government that’s all chummy with the alt-right our immigration rules have gotten tighter, so things might’ve changed.

I’m hoping with the massive anti-US sentiment going right now, that the next government won’t be right wing.

Last month, he was rehired only to be fired a second time — after courts ruled some of Trump’s layoffs illegal, then legal again.

Fucking hell.

Aye, Soulframe works flawlessly via Lutris. It runs on the same engine as Warframe and performs as well really. Been playing Soulframe for months on SUSE.

How do we know that he isn’t? Musk proclaims a love of free speech and is a fascist. Trump has repeatedly spoken out against wars, but his wars are OK in his book.

Let’s not celebrate until we’ve crossed the river.

Apps are the only way I can see it being useful. RSS readers, mail clients, chat clients etc.

For me? Thanks!

If you can’t grow your own horn, store bought will do just fine.

Yeah that tracks. He was walking my dough at the time.

I love this, thank you!

It’s the same guy.
