That’s not as clever as you think it is.

You can also not use Google. I use duckduckgo and they let you turn off AI overview.

Wow, so you put your blanket it a bag. I guess what I use are basically quilts. Yours look much more fluffy, and also, the bag itself is much more light than my quilt-like blankets.

I don’t put anything around a blanket. Can you find a picture?

Blanket is how I get to sleep. I need it. I wish there was a cold blanket for these stupid hot summers. Edit: and yet I can nap fully clothes, on top the blankets, in the afternoon (if I’m super exhausted). So maybe I could condition myself out of this? But I’m not willing to risk my sleep on experiments).

Interesting solution. (Kkitted means knitted, right?)

violence as a means to an end, pragmatically, has enormous costs,

The people I’m talking about (the worst ones) don’t even have an “end.” No plan at all. The violence is the end. It’s pure stupidity. I see it as the lust for violence, coming up with some politics to justify itself.

I honestly think self-righteousness pushes people away. It’s why I can barely stand bluesky. During the big exodus from reddit, all these so-called far-lefties (who I think were just reddit goons doing infiltration) were all screaming for everybody to defederate. Even now, I keep arguing against idiots posting “kill a cop” or “kill fascists” memes, like this is literally an “advocate violence” platform. I don’t expect to pull big numbers with that kind of shit.

Social media is kinda washed up. A lot of people are on substack, too. The internet as a place is just less popular, I think. We’re all getting sick of it.

In theory the fediverse is not a monolith. We actually want for this to not work.

FYI the aliens who built the pyramids actually had that tech stack.

So what privacy will I have to give up?

Actually I’m in Canada so I’m probably safe anyway.

I mean… I don’t watch porn so this doesn’t affect my anyway…

libraries letting people borrow books

This is so far from analogous that it’s almost a nonsequitur.

are you just a luddite?

No, and you don’t even believe such nonsense. You’re grasping, ineffectively.

I see they have a SFW requirement. And while my site is currently SFW, I won’t guarantee that it will remain so.

Still, it’s at least making me consider cutting out all the zurb-foundation stuff, since that’s the only JS I have, and the site is simple enough that it doesn’t really need it.

I love this.

I thought I was being “bare-bones” when I remade my website with PHP & XML (no framework or database). What would they think about a python app that delivers plaintext or html? Is that still kosher for the no-js gang? Or does it have to be static files?

used to train both commercial

commercial training is, in this case, stealing people’s work for commercial gain

and open source language models

so, uh, let us train open-source models on open-source text. There’s so much of it that there’s no need to steal.

?

I’m not sure why you added a question mark at the end of your statement.

How exactly does this benefit “us” ?

adding missing information

From where?

For sure you also don’t like when I copy one of your posts here in Lemmy and share it here as own post.

Actually I post memes to make people laugh, and I don’t want to make them jump through hoops. I think you can include the link in the description, to give attribution.

It’s funny but I don’t appreciate having to follow a link to see the image. So I downvoted. You can just upload images here.
