Aw duh me

Calling everything AI is the new “Fake!”

Back in the nineties I was told off that Windows users are fanatical to their OS by a girl with one single sticker on her bicycle and it was the Apple logo.

We worked in the same music studio with exclusively Apple computers and my money job was administration of an office with mixed Windows and Linux and BSD environment.

I never had problems with either OS but I did have problems with Apple hardware being 2-3x the price for performance back in the days when performance mattered.

I dunno if she mistook some single mouse button banter as something personal or what. Needless to say she didn’t take it well when I laughed it off and told her I don’t decorate anything with neither penguins or the Windows logo.

The rest of the world has done various responses to the American trade war. Most everybody else has found other partners to do business with and those that haven’t are soon about to. America is not hurting other countries economically as much as they are hurting themselves. The entire ICE thing is terrible and it is too bad the government agencies have given in and that the military seems to be rolling with it too. But it is still domestic affairs as long there isn’t any proof of concentration camps or massacres or the like. We have lots of empathy for the people in America suffering from all of this.

But then again…

You guys have free elections and this is your democratically elected leader doing what he promised to do. You guys had him elected after he staged a failed coup once already. What do you expect the rest of the world to do about it? To save you guys from yourselves?

Sorry, dude. We’re busy dealing with our own national problems, trying to block Chat Control in EU, support Ukraine and deal with the entire Russia scenario, try to stop the genocide in Gaza, and a bazillion other more pressing things than dealing with problems America had caused for itself.

Why?

The finale of Martyrscome to mind.

I was just thinking that instead of being annoyed of corporate AI customer service we should just cost them lots of money by random chitchat with their LLM chatbots.

Everything is easy when you know how to bend spacetime.

I know several owners of cats that have tags. I know at least one with a proper GPS transmitter on the cat collar.

lemmy.ml is good to avoid not only for political reasons but people that are nuts enough to defend genocide for countries they have on their team are not to be trusted with much anything else either. Users are cultists that politicise, brigade and harass and community mods on lemmy.ml adopt old school Soviet style silencing of thoughts and discussion other than the state approved.

Before you are making assumptions, I’m a leftie and have been for longer than most of the users there have been alive, but I’m not an authoritarian communist so apparently my thoughts are dangerous for the believers to hear.

Wherever you have your account you can block other instances and everything from selected domain names. My Fediverse experience is so much better after consequently filtering out everything lemmy.ml on every account and instance I’m on and I’d recommend it for everybody.

And build a submarine of them.

Suggestion: Describe and moderate it for fine arts or it will be flooded with furry drawings and fanart.

I support this and have their EU passports shredded when they leave.

Killed everything in my planter box in our communal grow area and spreading ticks everywhere they go. Bastards.

Definitely not but I’m not American.

Please do not mutilate your child because of tradition.

Nobody hates leftists like other leftists with a slightly different flavour of leftism. This is by tradition as long as the leftist discourse has been up. Plenty of people find it unthinkable with nuances or compromises even for communal goals that would benefit everybody.

Add to this that social media is inherently toxic and anonymity brings out the absolute worst in many people to spew hate for slight differences in opinion.

It’s too bad but I’d recommend you to not get caught up in it and don’t let it get to you. People are people and the chances that they will change in any foreseeable future are small. Keep doing what you think is positive and constructive and don’t let others make you disappointed.

People taught to trust authority without questioning it are very convenient for totalitarian rulers.
