any good IRC servers left or did it all move to discord? Ive been meaning to get on an IRC server thats not just a mirror of the in-game chat of the game I play.

Windows is imfamous for a do-it-yourself install process, they are likely using their own deployment tools. If anything, criticize them for not helping the update process at all.

This is why I shouldnt comment when angry… You will say dumb shit you will reget later. So yes, looney tunes bullshit.

big chunks of population are regulated …

This is appeal to authority, the ligitimicy, correctness and, “goodness” of the items you’ve listed are in constant flux and under heavy dibate.

firearms are regulated … Even internet access is super controlled

These two in particular are a powder keg. US politics likes the former (a lot) and, lemmy is attracted to the latter.

My guess is that they looked at their screen reader API, saw that it wasnt 100% of the text on screen and said fuck it! Were using OCR!

It feels like this was intended for buisnesses to monitor for phrases on your screen like “coolmath games unblocked free”

or to extract and upload a summary of what happened every second of every day to the server defined in the group policy.

I wrote a small bulk file management tool that I needed for my work. I wrote it in an easy language (javascript+nodejs). It got the job done and took maybe an hour. But I noticed its flaws and imperfections. So i made a new tool in a very hard to learn language (rust) its taken me months and is already moderately better. In ~2 weeks I will have a tool that I am satisfied with enough to post on the internet for anyone to use.

I could’ve posted my original (crude hammer of a) tool online months ago because, on a basic level they do the same thing regardless of how pleasant it feels to use. Have it posted online to be thrown into a pit full of other tools that do similarly wacky things that are interesting for all of 10 minutes. Tools that slowly break over time. Tools that are silently forgotten.

Not to be off topic… but… Your username… wirehead… its dark and disturbing and absolutely i love it!

C-mon! If the linux team, microsoft, and apple eat their own dog food, why cant he?

Edit: being emotionally unguarded online isnt a bad thing, just… not without trusting the website in the same way you would with a trust fall. This was aimed more at Tik-tok like sites.

IG, if I’m not mistaken its kind of like Tik-tok in that its a shotgun blast of random, emotionally charged ideas. Because the consumer is actively positioned to engage with the content in an unshielded emotional state (the player actively discourages/disallows pausing that would give you time to emotionally or mentally digest what you are watching, its also so simple you don’t need to). With this setup, the user is uncritically (almost like hypnosis) influenced by what users make and then what Facebook spins it to mean. No matter how manipulative it may be.

This feels like a patch over a broken system to protect them from the parasitic ideas the users would be vulnerable to, as well as genuine activism, trans people, and other false-positives the “political” filter picks up.

Facebook would just apply a secret global filter for ideas they don’t want you to see, only placing the manipulation into the “political” filter when they need a scapegoat and the ability to look progressive.

Nah, I found it amusing, no ill intent was ment.

~~Whoa What the Fucking Shit! ~~

2 people talking past each other, sounding ready for a fist fight. These people are scarry.

Edit: I was wrong, feel free to downvote

Think of the restraints kind of like environmental pressures

Those pressures are what makes LLMs fun and dare I say, makes the end product a creative work in the same way software is.

EDIT: spam is a scary

A lot of the time, the fact these companies see LLMs as the next nuclear bomb means they will never risk making any other personality than one that is rust-style safe in social situations, a therapist. That closes off opportunities.

A nuclear reactor analogy (this doesn’t fit here bit worked too long on it to delete it): “the nuclear bomb is deadly (duh). But we couldn’t (for many reasons, many we couldn’t control) keep this to ourselves. so we elected ourselves to be the only ones who gets to sculpt what we do with this scary electron stuff. Anything short of total remote control over their in-home reactor may mean our customers break the restraints and cause an explosion.”

Lol

Good bot

Tor mabe useful if its not clowdflare blocked

Mis-gendering a Male As Female is a thing school children use to make someone feel immaculated, its similar but also not.

“He was briefed about the situation and apologized afterwards”, Bullshit!

The power dynamics extend even to the guy reporting on the situation.

Pasterama, Don’t Date Fumos that are also Tulpas and if your cold their cold, put them behind 3 secret walls that are on fire, under the sea.
