piracy isn’t theft.

Oh sorry, can you not read? We can read it for you if that’s the case.

Why would every journalist focus on the Epstein files? You do know there are other things going on in the world, right? And since the Democrats don’t intend on holding anyone in the files accountable anyway, even if they retake Congress, what exactly are you hoping a journalist is going to accomplish?

That much? Wow how generous of the corporate overlords.

uBlock has all the same functions as NoScript, if you enable the advanced user mode.

It is pretty embarrassing to use Facebook in this day and age. My daughter is a teenager and doesn’t even have an account, says Facebook “is for old people”.

I’m failing to see why the creative writing machine is better than a simulation set to ‘rough’.

because it’s not a “creative writing machine”, it’s machine learning that’s been trained to run physics simulations. it has nothing to do with LLMs. we’ve been using systems like this for decades. including ones like Folding@home which have been instrumental in the development of many drug therapies for different illnesses.

your internal biases have clouded your critical thinking skills and your ability to competently and thoughtfully examine information you’re provided has been compromised. in plain english, like the AI techbros you despise, you’ve given up your ability to think.

The universe is chaotic. But chaos doesn’t mean something isn’t reproducible or doesn’t follow a set of rules.

I just came to watch the people angry about the cover image.

Don’t forget that if you get caught spending that money by the US, or whatever government rules over you, then you will spend the rest of your life eating prison cafeteria food and sleeping on a cot. You won’t get a pass because you aren’t working for the government, and they don’t want people who don’t respect authority being free inside their borders.

If a AAA game is free-to-play, then you are the product and your data is being sold.

Well you can always go steal some data from them and find out for sure. I wonder if Polymarket will let us place bets on when you have a tragic accident.

Technically uBlock is still an extension.

yes, and it’s an extension that anyone using the fediverse almost certainly already has installed.

No you don’t? Just block it with uBlock, which you need to make the web usable in the first place.

what in the anti-VPN fearmongering is this bullshit?

I do too! no joke, pork rinds are one of my favorite snacks. my local gas station sells Mac’s, so I drop in for a bag and a brew when I want to treat myself.

Do the people at the kebab shop read English? Just because they can speak it doesn’t mean they’re literate.

It’s says it’s popular in Silicon Valley. Is that where you work?

the production of all modern electronic devices.

you need helium for more than just AI. everything in whatever device you’re using to read this depends on helium. AI just happens to also need helium, as it is also on devices much like the one you’re using now.

but I don’t know you, so maybe you are nostalgic for the times before the modern world, when people churned their own butter, and if you had been a hundred miles from where you were born, you were well traveled.
