It sure fucking feels that way sometimes. I had an argument with one of my parents the other day over the fact that she was completely incapable of understanding any distinction between a war and a genocide. “It’s war; they’re the enemy. You kill the enemy in war” - in direct response to me asking if she was okay with elementary schools being bombed.

Bizarre, surreal, and severely dejecting.

Perhaps being sane in an insane world is a type of insanity all it’s own.

Honestly, I’m a little surprised.

97% chance of whoring, 2% chance it’s platonic and they’re just really lonely and socially inept, 1% chance you get a ride in the TARDIS

As someone who has done a lot of stuff with LLMs: this is a completely, unironically, real (and dare I say: likely) possibility. Except it just has to be gaslit into thinking it was given a bribe; you don’t actually need to give it one…

It looks like it at a glance but I’m pretty sure that’s just how he is when he tries to read a script…

Yeah and the bang bus stands as a symbol for celibacy

Well it would work on me…

M here but… It’s like not being a foot guy and consuming something with a lot of that fan service. You can still appreciate aspects of it but not really get the whole thing cuz it’s not for you. Same goes for every other image tag. Yaoi is just Yuri for people who like boys.

With that said, go watch love stage. Plenty to appreciate even for those not yaoi obsessed

Pfft come on. I watched ISIS beheading videos when I was a kid and I turned out just f-… Hm.

At least you have breadsticks

I’m sorry you lost a friend.

I find it useful to crack jokes like that when in rough places; the half-kidding kind, even just to myself. It depends because everyone’s different. Never a bad idea to take a moment and question it occasionally though…

Booo

Computer silicon and transformer models

Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it’s pretty fucking wild.

AFAIK, nope. There are several personal projects which modify Signal to work on private infrastructure rather than use signal’s centralized service, but nothing intended for public consumption or at least not that I’ve heard of. Maybe search it.

Signal is good enough and has been pushing for more mainstream appeal and polish (e.g. gif search) Its Achilles heel and main drawbacks stem from it’s centralization: needing a phone number and routing thru Signal’s infra. But that can also benefits them in some ways. Most devs who would be tempted to change that would rather spend their time elsewhere: tox, matrix, i2p, tor, xmpp and irc shenanigans, etc. Signal is just hydrated, in its lane, unbothered; chugging along as its LLC dictates. No alarms, no fires, no compelling reason to do a hard fork.

Edit: it completely slipped my mind that Molly exists. So yeah there’s that. But they still use signal’s infra.

AGPL iirc. it can be forked and run independently or modified into a decentralized federation model. So doesn’t really matter if they cave.

Trump said We’d never see him again. Fascists just lie a lot…
