Actually, the Aristocrats.

This question is basically tailor made for the UK.

Rude. But not inaccurate.

Can an atheist get the same exception by saying we don’t believe in Roko’s Basilisk so we won’t help bring it into being?

This is the hype train, claiming they can and will do so much more than be junior software engineers.

Why would they want a slowdown while simultaneously getting ready for an IPO?

Because for one, these things can’t and won’t do so much more than be junior software engineers because a complete lack of understanding of how the human mind does not inhabit the body or pilot the body, but the mind separated from the body loses wholeness. That’s going to blow up these IPOs if they can’t actually deliver, so the slowdown is the industry all shaking hands and saying “we need more time for this charade to hold up” when actually none of them will slow down, they’ll just be trying to hide how little forward progress there is to be made left with these kind of models and without moving to something even more complex. They need the con to last as long as possible in hopes of delivering something useful at all to justify the massive increase in surveillance capitalism that citizens obviously do not want. Their IPO will crash if they get found out to be frauds right after going public, and they aren’t satisfied enough with a quick pump and dump, they all want to be the next Musk. So they need a global slowdown to justify how things have actually hit a wall in terms of making LLMs useful to every day people.

He comes complete with the “hey this guys a phony!” character to heckle Musk.

Valid fear especially considering Asahi Linux is being developed for the M-series chips from Apple and this laptop is technically an A-series chip that they usually use in their phones. There’s no telling on if or when there could be even baseline Linux support for it!

Yes, and there’s clearly been a market for more affordable Apple products for a long time.

I run all Linux at home, but I an enthused about Apple silicon and I like the fact that macOS is certified UNIX, making a lot of aspects of working with it more similar to Linux than working with Windows.

I’m poor, but I plan on saving up and eventually getting one just so I have a functional modern Apple device for once in my life. (Other than when I was 12 and my parents bought a 66mhz PowerPC Macintosh)

I mean, very doable with The Lonely Island in there.

depends on what you mean by “private.” when you run your own server, you by default have access to all the backend information on the server, since you’re the admin.

anyone who joins yours will not have privacy in respect to you, because you’ll be able to see what they do on the backend.

just as any other person’s server you join will see your activity.

Just once I’d like to see Panoramix/Getafix say “fuck” just once when Asterix and Obelix surprise him into slicing his finger with his golden sickle.

Alternately, Caesar saying “the fucking Gaul.”

Why do we do this, C.G. and I?
Every night vegetables, minds numbed by THC
I’ve got my pen, C.G. the remote
Laurel and Hardy is the best bet at 4 AM on a Friday
No dreads about the working day after, though
Funny thing about weekends when you’re unemployed, they don’t mean quite so much
Except that you get to hang out with your working friends
We got a Spaghetti Western here on 36
I like spaghetti westerns, I like the way the boots are all reverbed out walking across the hardwood floor
In fact, everything’s got that big reverb sound
Well, what do I do now?
Go to sleep? Pull the pud?
We need new pornos
Guess I’m still writin’

Is this you?

With the way the Trump admin is going I’m surprised they haven’t totallt dismantled the ADA already.

1. People without a mobile device are fucked out of being able to pass a captcha

2. As if this isn’t a way for them to associate multiple sessions on multiple specific devices with one another, this is just another avenue for data collection, period. Hidden under the guise of “more secure.”

Yep, it’s still called scrobbling. I have very old tracks in my history that don’t have any timestamps because of the imperfect database changeover when they went from Audioscrobbler to Last.fm. I found that out when exporting my scrobbles to use elsewhere and noticed that my earliest scrobbles weren’t actually pulling timestamps at all, and it was defaulting to them all played on the same day at the same time.

Hell yeah!

I was just looking for a most self-hosty and privacy respecting solution initially. I will keep running it alongside Last.fm in case there’s a reason I need to dump Last.fm or if I decide I don’t want my listening habits on a public site.

EDIT: To be more clear, I have no issues with Listenbrainz at all, I just wanted to self-host.
