If it had happened now, that figure might be accurate. However, this was originally exploited in 2022, so it’s probably pretty bad.

“The new Windows Terminal is so slick! And PowerShell is soooo awesome! When will Linux get cool neat powerful stuff like this?”

“Uh… About three decades ago?”

(To be honest, PowerShell is neat. But it’s also cross platform, so if I really want it on Linux I guess I can get it there too? I don’t really need to, I’m in middle of rewriting some PowerShell stuff in Python)

My own objections is that, according to the proponents of death penalty, it will discourage people from doing these crimes ever again. …Hello? Ever looked at the history books? Actually, hey, look at them, the American right wing media is going full steam ahead on destructive propaganda!

There will always be people who will take bullet for the cause. And if the cause is about spreading a message, well…

No. They will do this no matter what the punishment is. And at that point, the only thing anyone can do is to use their own system of ethics. Mine says harshest possible judgement that can actually work and stop them from doing this stuff, without making them martyrs to the cause. At some point, people have to take the moral high road.

All I can say is that killing people to fight crime has never been as fruitful as fighting the mythical hydra. You can’t fix this stuff with just slashing at stuff.

“Hi, I’m an ultra boring nerd girl. I’m on several Fediverse platforms. …No, I don’t know Nicole. Please don’t follow me. No seriously please don’t.”

I’m not very good at socialising, sorry

Turtles are great computer science animals. They do graphics, and have shell access.

Wikipedia has plenty of this stuff. Great photos and diagrams to illustrate important concepts.

For example, when discussing Turtles, you need the perfect photo to discuss the Turtle Mode.

Short summary: Elon gives Elon some Elon and congratulates Elon for being such an Elon, that big money boy he is. Money!

Ah, Julius Streicher. I barely had heard of him when I read about the Nuremberg trials. Dude was a propagandist. And they hanged him. He was literally edgelording until his last breath.

At first I was like “well, the other guys they hanged literally oversaw genocide, but this guy was a propagandist. Kinda harsh punishment for a propagandist. Wonder why?”

But now that I’ve watched the online hate pipeline run it’s course for a while and do its thing, I kinda get it.

I’m advocating harsh bans for the birdsite royalty, and if they don’t volunteer for that, maybe they should be put somewhere where they can be monitored to not propagandise. Not advocating for death penalty, it’s categorically wrong.

No, the 1990s didn’t smell of sex and candy. It smelled of a banking crisis and a box of 3.5" floppies.

I’m an artist / writer and I don’t see problem with generative AI when you’re at a really early concept stage. Exploring ideas, try to get over creative blocks, that sort of stuff. Maybe the AI hallucinations and fuckups can give you ideas worth exploring.

But using them as a literal basis for artwork you work further on is a fool’s errand. It’s easier to maybe take ideas from there, but work from scratch anyway. And I do realise that even that is controversial.

Also, could be a legal quagmire. Also not happy about the copyright appropriation situation or the environmental impact.
