Keep protesting for the people of Iran. Keep pressure on Western governments to act and support the Persian people. The Iranian people never wanted to live under a fundamentalist terror state.

Economic isolation against every individual official and commander killing their own people is the most important tool we have.

Keep the information channels open at all costs.

Just to be clear, companies know that LLMs are categorically bad at giving life advice/ emotional guidance. They also know that personal decision making is the most common use of the software. They could easily have guardrails in place to prevent it from doing that.

They will never do that.

This is by design. They want people to develop pseudo-emotional bonds with the software, and to trust the judgment in matters of life guidance. In the next year or so, some LLM projects will become profitable for the first time as advertisers flock to the platforms. Injecting ads into conversations with a trusted confidant is the goal. Incluencing human behaviour is the goal.

By 2028, we will be reading about “ChatGPT told teen to drink Pepsi until she went into a sugar coma.”

The headline also does not say the same thing that the post claims!

Headline: “15% of content” --> every 6th or 7th post or comment is a corporate troll

Article: “15% of subreddits contain” --> the vast majority of subreddits contain no troll content

Actual study: [file not found]

I also cannot find any Pew research study resembling the one described. The link is a 2017 report that doesn’t mention reddit.

Disney could add Super Grover to the MCU at any time and chooses not to.

Lol the greyzone is a great source, if you’d like to know what the Putin regime says about something.

Just weird to say “I don’t trust reporting from a state-influenced source. I’ll wait until I hear reporting from media owned by a different state with an even more vested interest.”

Al jazeera is literally the Qatari state media.

I can’t attest to any as I don’t use PDFs this way, but here are a few links:

All of these are self-hostable and FOSS. I’m not sure about NextCloud integration.

I think you may be thinking of LibreOffice

Yeah, it’s better if you can have the computer on all the time, but it only needs to be running when you access it.

I’m not that familiar with FreshRSS, but in general apps will only update at opening (not in the background) for most syncing operations. You may have to do more manual syncing than you would like.

It definitely works. Mastodon doesn’t have threaded conversations, so if it is complex, then it can become hard to follow.

If it’s a simple post/reply then it is not confusing at all.

Wild animals are never “harmless.”

Deer have killed people. Birds have killed people.

It’s been too long. Most credit cards only allow a limited period of time to challenge a charge. I stupidly hoped that it would be rescheduled. You know, since Ticketmaster told me it would be. After 60-90 days, the money is theirs whether they deliver a product or not.

Thanks for the financial advice bro.

The point is that they borrow money for free. It’s theft even if they one day refund the tickets. Because that’s how money works. Apparently you should know that since you’re clearly an expert.

Ticketmaster owes me a couple hundred dollars for a show that’s been “delayed” for a year now. Meanwhile, I’m paying interest on the credit charges.

There’s no way to get a refund or dispute the charges.

It should be illegal.
