I don’t trust them. They better fire him and hire a Jim Abacus.

I don’t remember getting any new slang as a kid.

The lesser known Hominidae Comfortablis.

Never even heard of the concept before and it sounds extremely weird. And yet I’m intrigued.

Lmao that’s wonderful, scrolling down from those weird ass comments only to be greeted by my own exact facial expression.

Because they don’t know what “AI” is so they think it’s this technical thing that just knows things, all the things, magically. I’ve seen confident statements like “we use AI in our recruiting process because it has no bias!!” 🤦‍♂️

Hold on. Can’t we all just go back to that time instead?

I will apply this thinking to my data hoarding. Some day, the world might thank me for saving some particular file that by then is long gone from the internet! I’m actually doing the world a favor!

What if it was made to sound more Russian instead? That might work.

When you have that much money, there’s not really much society can do to touch you.

I absolutely hate this mindset. I hear it now and then, and it’s being used even by left wing politicians to hand over more money, power and control to the wealthy, because “they have so much power with their money already, there’s nothing we can do”. Oh ok. So just capitulate then? Because we’re not starving to death? Nah fam. Work harder. Collaborate. Be creative. As creative as they are with their bookkeeping and finances. And if that shit doesn’t work, it’s violence time.

Yes please, more scientific papers and non-fiction, and less internet comments.

Defederation is an absolutely necessary tool. There are instances out there you don’t want any part of, with CSAM etc. But with that said I think defederation should mostly be used for such things. Block lists (containing instances, users, hashtags) that users can subscribe to would be a better way to handle the rest, and instances could recommend and/or curate lists for their users and maybe activate them by default.

Instances defederating from another instance because that second instance hasn’t defederated from a third instance is a good way to ruin the future of the Fediverse I think. It’s just an immature and destructive behavior leading to fragmentation.

…that you know of.

You really seem to like living life on easy mode where nothing challenges your preconceived ideas of binary simplicities. Pity.

Unless you have a source you’re not sharing, you have no idea what they signed up for or why.

That’s just tragic and sad on so many levels.

I don’t think “volunteered” is the right word to use here. Volunteering usually means you want to do the specific work because you believe in the cause and could even do it for free because it’s important to you. These people were promised jobs, admission to universities, visa extensions etc to lure them in. Usually people who get trafficked don’t have too many options in life, so they might have just thought it was a way to provide a future for themselves and their families. And we don’t know what they’d been told said “help” would be. For all we know they might have been told they’d help with making sure captured Ukrainians were safe and treated well.

But don’t tell me you’d actually pay for it.

Which is quite fascinating since he’s made it very obvious that he himself doesn’t know jack shit about Christianity and that he’s not a believer. I’m an atheist myself and I’ve never seen a person more lost and uninterested when speaking about Christianity than him.
