Even if they were 18+, I thought the thing was that they were trafficked/raped? Even if an “Epstein girl” was 21, that doesn’t necessarily absolve the people that had relations/raped/abused/etc. her. I haven’t kept up with the case so don’t know the details. Plus after the whole pizza gate and save the children fiasco it can be difficult to really sort out which parts are legitimate and which parts are conspiracy, so I haven’t dug much.

I’m only really responding to the “age of consent is a technicality” thing. Not that statutory rape shouldn’t be viewed as rape, but I don’t think these were scenarios of older people and minors having otherwise “consensual” sex.

What a whiny baby XD

I feel like I’d need to check the wiki less if pacman had flags that made more sense lol. Plus so many variations of commands the wiki warns “this will break your shit”.

I really like Arch, I’m using CachyOS, it’s been great. But I do miss apt lol. Maybe that’s just because I was used to it though. Update and upgrade being two totally different things is also extremely counterintuitive.

This is the type of shit that makes devs not want to support Linux. Respect volunteers.

Oh, that’s weird, you’d think there’d be a way to tell whatever is on air to download a specific tag. Or like one that downloads the other indirectly. I haven’t looked into pkgbuild or aur.

Having read a lot of the thread it sounds like that’s sort of what’s going on with the version on the AUR. Sounds like it is the old GPL v3 version and the dev doesn’t wanna put the new CC BY-NC-ND version on the AUR themselves because they don’t want to make an account there (understandable, not saying they should have to).

The whole situation is sort of sad, but ultimately devs working on free (as in money, I now -ND is not libre) software need to do what they need to do to remain sane. If it’s a CC BY-NC-ND emulator without Linux support versus no emulator at all I think we’d all want the first.

I hope this thread can be an eye opener for folks to remember to treat volunteer devs with respect. (Not implying anyone here was part of the problem.)

I submitted a PR and bug report for something I was using recently to better help arch users install it in the future. I encourage other folks to do that. If you ever have trouble installing something, just submit a little PR with tweaks to the README that would’ve helped you. Oftentimes they’ll accept them. It benefits everyone.

~11 months ago they relicensed from GPL 3 to CC BY-NC-ND.

It’s not an open source license. Even CC warns against it because it isn’t a free media license.

Make a fork that supports Linux as satire since the whole situation is so crazy.

Edit: The joke being you could argue it’s fair use.

These companies are all scams. Expedia advertised cancellations and not needing a credit card. When we tried to get the car we rented from the rental company they said we needed a credit card. Expedia refused to let us cancel or give a refund or even give us that amount in store credit.

Don’t use Expedia. Horrible service. Even if you wanna blame this on me for whatever reason, the fact that they refused to give us store credit for the money we already gave them (not even a refund) shows they won’t care about your problems either.

Good faith discussion.

Where? And don’t tell me to look up or read again because I recounted the conversation as I understood it already and went over with you that you’re not being clear, so if you’re acting in good faith tell me where?

I did and I’m asking for clarification.

This was your explanation.

Well im talking about external interpretation of ones identity rather than one’s intended expression, so you figure it out. Or don’t.

I’m good faith, I assumed the best by saying this.

I’d say that’s supportive of femme leaning enbies rather than transphobic towards trans women.

Rather than agree with me, you said this and refused to elaborate, going so far as to tell me to interpret as I like. When I only have two possible interpretations, one positive and one negative, I don’t know what else you’d want me take away other than the negative.

There are other things it could be. Interperet as you like.

So I clarified, in good faith, it you meant the negative thing.

Wait, so you are being transphobic?

You were vague and refused to give any explanation. I thought it might be two things. When I asked if it was one of them, your response seems to heavily imply it wasn’t that one, but refuse to give whatever third thing it might be.

That was one of the things you proposed. Im suggesting there are other potential meanings, that you did not propose. i will not be explaining what i do mean any farther than i have

So… What is it? Because you’re saying that I am “not making an effort to understand” when I am in fact bending over backwards to give you benefit of the doubt and understand what you mean. You say communication has two sides and you’re done trying to uphold mine when I am desperately seeking clarification on what you said but you just refuse to provide it.

I’m just about done with this fucking place and im done going out of my way to explain myself to people who arent making any effort to understand. Communication has two sides, i cannot hold up yours

What have I missed?

Criminal negligence.

Well said.

I’ll keep streaming and just eat less popcorn. I’ve been needing to cut back. I blow a kiss to the sky. I got your back, Mother Earth. I always check the resin identification codes before I recycle plastics, too.

It’s so so frustrating. AI is cool, I get it, LLMs are impressive, but we’re in such a bubble right now. Every company is like “damn, that other company is doing a cool thing with AI, we need to make sure our shareholders think we’re doing cool things with AI too!” So they make flashy AI things and it feeds back into the cycle because obviously other companies and their shareholders see it, because these companies are publicly traded.

The devices they’re talking about are also still turned on. The power usage of the network requests is incredibly small. Switching from cellular to wifi will make the biggest difference, but who the hell isn’t already on their home wifi network? Plus, at least me personally, I have my liked songs downloaded on Spotify to save data usage. I suspect others may as well.

This is like the folks worrying about the water usage of AI. Environmental concerns are a real problem and there are tons of things to focus on, but they pick such a weirdly specific, negligible, non-issue.
