most Linux systems don’t even use DHCP

WTF are you smoking? WTF is wrong with you that you think such a dumb claim would go unscrutinized? I would play Russian roulette on the chances of a random Linux installation on a random network talking DHCP.

Edit, in case being charitable helps: DNS and IP address allocation aren’t the only things that happen over DHCP. And even then the odds are overwhelming that those are being broadcast that way.

Okay, gtfo. That’s not how we handle things. That’s not how any group, political leaning, or organization can handle things if we ever want a good future. Once again, for good measure: gtfo.

The only people who are stupider are undecided or non-voters.

God, tell me about it. I’ve seen so many reactionary takes with what’s going on in Gaza and the US support for it, insisting they’re staying home over it, when if they thought out the problem for like 5 seconds more, they’d realize what absolute children they’re being.

Not only is not voting going to result in America taking a MORE extreme stance on Gaza, but it also invites endless suffering from this and other extremist positions, that will hurt us, our families, and our loved ones. Real fucking strategery there guys. I really hope I’ll have it in me to rub their faces in the inevitable consequences, but realistically I’ll be too much of a shell to care after seeing everyone I love suffer.

Welp, looks like my next hardware isn’t gonna be Dell 🤷‍♂️

I was about to say. There’s a million concerns over environmental and economic effects (that I’ll own up to ignoring when visiting family or exploring), but safety is still wayyy down the list. The statistic about being 20x more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than the flight itself still holds very firmly true (and I’m being SUPER conservative about those numbers in case recent events tilt it, it’s still a ~800x per-mile ratio).

Really? I mean, no comment on his actual health, but I think he looks fine in that photo, I can think of 3 straightlaced computer nerds in my life who more or less look exactly like that. Maybe just needs some exercise and veggies.

Ditto, I practically could’ve wrote that comment myself

Sure, but this is less than nothing. It literally applies 0 friction against AI and is completely and totally unenforceable. AND it’s a laughing stock for everyone and sucks the oxygen out of better AI regulation groups and think-tanks.

Luckily Google is here to save us. Just replace the word “save” with “screw”. Ad revenue over safety, always.

The work is moreso on the inverse, making sure it’s not unjust. No matter how you slice it, someone’s going to take issue on the outcome of each ruling.

What IS easy to quantify is the sheer number of legal scholars and domain experts sounding the alarm that many rulings are inconsistent with previously established law (and in many cases having profound negative consequences on the stability of our society), and that there are frequent conflicts of interest on a huge number of cases (cough cough Thomas).

What an unbelievable piece of shit. This dude is actually a demon and seriously hateful person. He shouldn’t be screaming around at doctors and women for protecting their lives, he should be screaming into pads at a psych hospital.

Oh hell yeah now I get to fart in my friends faces without being physically present

I’ll make the “China bad” post. There are very few governments with an ego as fragile as China’s. It barely even makes sense since they have the weight and soft power to lead by example, or develop healthy ties with the rest of the world. But they just. Don’t. It really gives the impression that all is not well within their borders.

Fwiw, it’s not videos, it’s a Spotify clone.

I wouldn’t class agnosticism as cowardly atheism, it’s very much its own class.

Atheism is the disbelief of gods or enlightened creation.

Agnosticism is just a “we don’t know” catch-all. There might be an Abrahamic god, with a heaven or hell that follows. There might be connected life and consciousness in the form of pantheism, where our consciousness dissipates and gets absorbed into the rest of existence. We might be living in a simulation, and wake up to a world with an entirely different set of rules and beliefs. Or maybe traditional atheism is right, this is our only existence, and we return to nothingness after death.

On a tangent, I’m weirded out by staunch atheists in the same way I’m weirded out by organized religion. We’re living subjective experiences of reality fed to us by electrified sacs of meat in our head, and even that could just be the truth on paper given to us by a simulation. We don’t know what we don’t know. We don’t remember what it was like before birth, but a nasty blow to the head could make it so we don’t remember what it was like yesterday. Observable and measurable fact is all we have, and anyone who claims to know what’s behind it or between the lines, or for that matter what isn’t there, is just elaborating on their own worldview, not empirical evidence.
