It’s a good thing that I work for Dick’s Fish & Chips located on the main street of a bustling city in Antarctica. I wouldn’t want the LLM to get it wrong.

“Conservatism has exactly one proposition, to wit: there is an in-group group in which the law protects but does not bind, and there is an out-group in which the law binds but does not protect.”

I’m sure I didn’t quote that properly, but you get the point.

When viewing reality through the lens of life being zero-sum, if one is not policing others, they are being policed. Add xenophobia and fear of others who are noncomforming and you end up with someone who feels the need to judge everyone around them.

“Toxic relationship with father” and “dislikes God / Jesus”.

Gee, I wonder why this combination would appear anywhere.

If Valve fails, we’ll have so many great alternatives, though!

• Epic Games Store, with it’s… uh… better fee structure that benefits the publishers.
• EA’s Origin, with direct access to the exact same Origin website but instead presented through an Electron app.
• Ubisoft Connect, with the latest access to Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed games and related reskins sold under different IP.
• Battle.net, with the feature to run partially-downloaded games and stream missing assets in on demand.
• GOG, with real installers for its games that you can hoard to a hard drive sitting in your closet. (No sarcism. This one isn’t terrible)
• The Microsoft Store, with its incredible ability to revoke your license for the Notepad.exe program that comes installed with Windows.

Who needs a forum, mod portal, user reviews, or Linux support anyways?

I can’t remember if I was wearing it before, but I’m not wearing it now. It’s probably fine. I think. Maybe.

I didn’t even need to click on the link to know it pointed to civil forfeiture. The fact that they’re not required to destroy whatever they steal creates one hell of a perverse incentive to keep doing it.

Their what now? That’s ICE’s money. After the pulled the immigrant out of his bed, that money was just laying there. Nobody owns it, so it’s finders keepers. /s

Hey now, it’s not just a scheme to deport legal immigrants—That second arrest also inflates their numbers to look successful.

I can’t wait for the Criminal Repercussions In Manipulating Electees act.

Agreed. That retort was spot on.

• No attacking his personality.
• No attacking his physical characteristics.
• No strawmen.
• No name-calling.
• Just a direct cut at his oxymoronic qualifications and lack of care for the working class.

But, I think a capability that hasn’t been fully revealed to us yet is the ability for manufacturers and (presumably intelligence/law enforcement agencies) full remote takeover of some of these vehicles.

Assuming it is a Tesla, if they do, it’s likely only implemented in a targeted OTA update package. Tesla’s regular firmware packages are heavily scrutinized by white-hats for datamining and jailbreaking purposes, and it would be far too risky to leave something like that accessible to people with reverse engineering experience.

[The dad,] Mr. Arriaga got an alert on his phone about the crash and headed to the scene.

Not a message from one of the passengers, an alert. Probably a Tesla or some other always-connected electric vehicle.

Because they think they’re hot shit and have an ego the size of Jupiter. In their mind, they’re the catch and someone would have to be a (insert slur) to turn down such a gracious offer from the world’s most attractive “alpha male”.

Spud also has a blue Twitter checkmark. If it walks holding signs like a Nazi and quacks on a Nazi-owned platform it pays to use…

Why days worth of farming? To help give the player a sense of “pride and accomplishment” of course.

Don’t forget the energy needed to produce the humans who:

• Produced research leading to the creation of LLMs.
• Figured out how to design the GPUs that AI run on.
• Extracted the raw materials for the chips.
• Processed the materials into products.
• Transported the materials and products.
• Installed the GPUs in datacenters.
• Built the datacenters.
• Operate the civil infrastructure providing power and water to the datacenters.
• Planned and designed that civil infrastructure.
• Congregated into a single area to create the town/city where that infrastructure was planned.
• Birthed that population of people.
• Etc.

Hint: It’s the same cumulative energy that his own stupid argument is hinged on.

No need to swap lol

A flake-based configuration: [am I a joke to you]

htop, ytop, and ranger (or something similar).

And just based on the info those show, the computer is a ThinkPad with some 4-core, non-SMT Intel CPU and 8 GB of memory with 512 MB of that reserved for the integrated GPU.

It wouldn’t even work on paper. All it would take to twist this into something dystopian is requiring cryptogtaphic attestation for the age range, and knowing lawmakers, they would justify it as a countermeasure for kids lying about their age. Expand the feature as a web API so websites can use the “easier” and “more secure” system-level age verification process and—oh look, now we can’t use important websites without a commercial operating system.

It would be like Secure Boot but worse. At least with that you can turn it off or enroll your own keys.

The blogger in question doxxed the owner/maintainer of Archive.today who in return doxxed the blogger.

Did you actually read the two articles posted by the blogger? The archive.today owner wasn’t doxxed. No personally identifying information was provided; it only aggregates already-known info including a couple of fake aliases. The most it concludes is that the guy is Russian or operating out of Russia.
