I was already done with windows, but if I hadn’t decided yet the AI in notepad definitely would have put me over the edge. That’s insane.

Bailout, or government ownership run by DOGE? I hear they have some servers available - well, soon.

Discord simply feels like the evolution of IRC to me - the part where it sucks is being corporate owned and all the fuckery that comes with that. An alternative to irc that incorporates voice, forums, etc, and isn’t named Ventrillo or Teamspeak (🤢) would be a viable alternative. Maybe this exists. But, it would take something like the latest Reddit exodus for anyone to switch, because discord is extremely entrenched across many platforms.

If you’re not a citizen my absolutely uneducated answer would be: if you were suspected of having done anything like that you would be detained for tampering with evidence - because they would now detain you for tampering with evidence. I would have said this wouldn’t have been a huge issue before, they wouldn’t have anything to hold you on after that, but that is certainly not true now.

Just a heads up some programs like Redact (for deleting social media posts including Reddit) on iOS require a subscription if you want to delete chat history vs free for dm. I recommend using shreddit anyway, and I would seriously consider you do so asap.

It’s the metaverse in practice but don’t let any reptile people know that

Yeah I lost it when I saw this too. But, because I waited so long to switch to Linux, it’s to the point where I feel it has so much of what was lacking the last time I used it. Easily over ten years ago. Thank you to everyone who slogged through it to get here.

0 to 1939 reminds me of a certain recent AI misalignment paper, go to the drop down “Bonus Question: Time Travel Story”. It’s worth it.

I read about it and I’m a little confused. I’m not who you replied to, just a curious lurker. That’s a fascinating and very powerful event so first thank you for sharing, but I couldn’t figure out how it culminates in stripping power from robber barons

Imagine every comment being an aggregate of the “best” human submitted comments as decided by the AI, so it’s just less overwhelming for our little minds to have to choose what to vote on. It’s not unrealistic imo.

I’m just glad there’s a broader discussion about it, this is exactly what we need.

Likewise man, have a good one 🤝

I would say something pot and kettle but I think you’ve probably heard that one too. Look, some people replied with very helpful info. Was I confidently incorrect? Oh yeah. Did I learn something from it? Absolutely, but it wasn’t to not be wrong again.

Do you only speak in cryptic sayings you’ve read on the side of mugs?

What does that even mean?

If anyone is considering the same don’t forget to use shreddit first.

Hyper focusing on Blackrock makes you sound like a conspiracy theorist - there are many groups like it, you have to expose the whole not be obsessed with the one or again it just looks crazy. IMO.

Hard drive in the freezer. Broken actuator. Well, I put the entire laptop in. Early 00s probably. Worked for like 3 minutes.

Income inequality in whatever the most palatable form is for the target audience who needs to hear it. That’s it. But I’m clearly not convincing you here - I’m just some rando idiot who sees a problem. I would gladly have an adult in the room give a better answer. In lieu of that, this is the best I’ve got for you. I’d love to have a space to discuss these things, I think actionable items like this are missing from current discourse here. Maybe it’s the format idk

Regardless of the outcome I just hope this doesn’t lead to more tribalism in software again. The FOSS community needs to stay strong on an international level whenever it comes to hardware integration etc.
