He’s definitely a nerd. He’s a very competent guy, no random wannabe would be able to make what he did with bcacheFS (and apparently extremely boastful about it?), he’s just very weird. Also he’s an open source dev, I doubt he’s trying to gain money from all this. Again, just a weird guy imo

Those are still external services. I didn’t mention them because they carry the exact same risks

Okay, having followed the bcacheFS drama I did suspect I’d hear from that guy again but now that’s unexpected

TWP dumps your pages to google translate, no thanks. FF is on device

Man, I loved playing around with GPT2, I was hyped about GPT3, I paid for AI dunegon and NovelAI, I was so stoked about all of this. When ChatGPT came out, I was like “y’all are just learning about it ?” but I was so happy that this tech I loved was getting recognition.

I’m definitely in the “AI hate” camp now, this really is the worst timeline

I don’t care much about whether gnome is customizable, if people like it then great, but I hate how they’re forcong terrible patterns that often break other DEs (window decorations)

Anything coming from SK about NK is extremely unreliable

I guess, but even without talking about forums, even a subreddit would at least be publicly accessible and searchable. Using discord is effortless but antagonistic, at least a subresdit would be both effortless and in the service of the public.

Sure, I’d prefer an open source self hosted platform, but I’m hard pressed to find anything worse than discord

That’s literally the whole point of sanctions, to make people suffer for opposing the US. This situation was purposefully created by the US

Silicon is used for way more than just chips though, I’d be surprised if it’s more than a percent

Nah thanks, I’d rather have bots than rely on a total lack of privacy

There also are Zapatistas who are currently anarchists (they don’t describe themselves as such though)

I think that’s generally true for queer people, so I’m in the same boat as you

Nope, they weren’t attacked and just let everything burn around them while providing services to the nazis

This might be relevant for following ICE around or direct action, but at this point there’s almost zero personal risk from attending something like a rally or a march.

No. If the data exists at any point, then a future threat will be able to exploit it, so full on nazi style fascism might not be here yet, but when it is, you’ll be in danger. Data can sleep forever before it becomes a threat.

Money would be a problem but not the worst problem, all of manufacturing and materials come from China and the remaining single digit percent is in Europe, if the US pisses both they wont be able to manufacture war even if they haf all of the money

Those are not some remote future consequences, the downfall would be quite immediate

The arc are ectremely impressive enemies and feel like nothing I’ve ever fought in a game, and the matchmaking system puts you in matvhes with people that have the same level of aggression. So it’s not your regular extraction shooter where NPCs are a sidenote and everyone plays kill on sight and that’s extremely refreshing

They don’t want them because they’re still produced by ASML, they want to make the machines themselves. They probably don’t want to destroy them simply because they don’t want to destroy taiwan

One down, two to go
