Last Notes npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal slsk is the best. I joined a band with some older teens in like 2003 and they turned me onto it. It has consistently been the best part of the internet this entire time npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Whoever came up with the system āif you donāt allocate all of your yearly budget, your budget will be smaller next yearā is responsible for so much human misery and wasted money npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal LLM boosters: This is trained with all of the text and code on the public internet! npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I'm not saying the Democrats WANT to lose the next Presidential election, but they are weirdly attached to Gavin Newsom, and that makes me think they definitely don't want to win. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal real ones know! npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal The one editing tip I have, and it's some shit most writers don't do: npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal The process Cory is describing of npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal This is all to say, when I first read the "avoiding AI is neoliberal purity culture take" it raised my hackles. On reading the replies to Cory wherein people weren't even engaging with the fact that he's using self-hosted AI, I gotta admit, he kinda does have a point. There are some people avoiding AI out of a sense of purity culture. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal How did I get so good at English grammar that I have little need for technical editing? npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Re: "Avoiding AI is neoliberal purity culture" discourse npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Lying is wrong. However. The only fringe benefit I can see from the proliferation of AI/LLM shit is now itās very easy to tell who I can get away with lying to: all the people into AI/LLM may be intelligent, but they lack capacity for critical thinking. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Trump talking about suspending midterm elections is the absolutely predictable result of the last few years. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal š”š”š” npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Wow it finally happened to me! npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Kinda hilarious that the Dems are focusing on affordability nowā¦ and not during the Biden admin when everything at the grocery store started to cost about 4x as much npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal All Iām saying is the stuff Trump has done in office is way worse, and more illegal than, any of the Epstein stuff. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal RE: https://hachyderm.io/@SnoopJ/115981267745589573 npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal āthe term has been overused to the point of meaninglessness, especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action.ā npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Almost all of the tear gas being used right now was made & procured under previous administrations. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal iPods were great for DJs in a way that smartphones haven't been able to mimic. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal It's almost 2026 and I still dislike not having a headphone jack on my smartphone npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Flo mask > all npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Augh, today I briefly used a computer with no adblock to access the internet. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal In case you were wondering, "why didn't anyone warn us about this?" I was. I told you all so. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Good morning! Trump won re-election because Biden enacted all of Trumpās plans on Covid, and was far more hawkish about Israel/Palestine than Trump has ever been. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal In the USA, "everybody knows" that the Wright Bros invented the airplane, because they achieved the first powered flight. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal In the USA, "everybody knows" that we "obviously won" the space race by landing on the moon first. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal āLetās boycott to bring down capitalism! Still support small businesses tho!ā Why? npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal If you interpret this as a pro-corporate thing, you missed the point. Iām not saying corporations are good, Iām saying small businesses arenāt any better. Theyāre just as exploitative, sometimes more. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I donāt care about small businesses. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Politicians like this are why I remain an anarchist š
Mamdani was bullshitting Trump, and Trump ate it up because he's a fool. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I did NOT predict Trump and Mamdani getting along so well. Surreal. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal The thing about "bread & circuses" as a tool of oppression is that you can't give people too much bread. If people have enough bread to live on, you just get the 2020 Uprising. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Yeah that's unfortunately usually how I've felt in therapy. It was useful for specific things, but never big picture stuff, because I never found a therapist I had /that/ much in common with on a deeper level. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal glad to hear it, finding a good therapist can be difficult npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal OK, the new mastodon update is pretty good. Cheers to everyone involved thank you bless this mess npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Like most people in Seattle, I live on the side of a steep hill. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Itās backwards that the government shutdowns include funding the military (allegedly to keep people alive) but donāt include funding the welfare programs (SNAP etc) that actually keep people alive npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Job interviews: bad for the applicant, but itās also a massive waste of time/resources for the company. There is no correlation between interview performance and job performance, itās purely a method of discrimination. Multiple rounds of interviews? There is no economic justification for this level of complexity. No job is so meaningful as to require multiple interviews. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Like why is being an antifascist important? Because fascists want to kill people, and saving lives is good. Protecting people who fascists want to kill is good. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I guess it's just surprising to me that someone who writes books like Dr. Bray doesn't also own a gun. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Iām gonna say it. Full sympathy and support to Dr. Mark Bray but it is weird to me that more people on āthe leftā arenāt more prepared for the possibility of death threats, and the possibility of needing to leave the country without getting on a commercial jet. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal this is not a fucking win, and neither is anything Newsom has done. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal "the United Nations estimates [stealing crypto] now accounts for 13% of North Korea's GDP." npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal the school Iām going to right now has a required math class that is taught by an AI booster who encourages students to use chatgpt for math npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal *landlords who also own combine harvesters that are run by GPS and get paid by the feds to employ nobody npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Yes, the people most folks think of when they say āfarmersā are more properly termed āfarm workers.ā npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal So Luigi might get off completely cos Trump officials wonāt stop talking about the case on twitter. All of the terrorism charges against him have already been dropped bc they wonāt shut up about it, the death penalty is basically off the table bc they wonāt shut up about it, and now the judge is threatening to throw out the entire caseā¦ and they still wonāt shut up about it. This is kind of incredible to watch. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Starting in about the 1870ās, most American cities banned pockets on womenās clothing because the OG Suffragettes were carrying so many guns and knives. So then big hats became fashionable as women started using hat pins (basically a 9ā metal spike) for self defense. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Remember. Since autistic people are massively overrepresented in the research sciences: Autism causes vaccines, not the other way around. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal https://crimethinc.com/2025/01/28/its-safer-in-the-front-taking-the-offensive-against-tyranny npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal OK also there's a lot going on, but let's not lose sight of the fact that Israel recently attempted to assassinate a bunch of Hamas leaders in Qatar when they were supposed to be meeting with them to have a ceasefire. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal We had something like this at my school, my friend and I ended up starting a counterfeiting ring using the library's copy machine. One of us would distract the librarian while the other made the copies npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal After an hour on the phone, I now have the soonest possible appointment to establish care with a new PCP. It's in... npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal USA, 2025: npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I saw some chud comment on fedi that "fuck all these apps like Signal and Telegram, the feds are reading everything" and it's like lol yeah they probably are, but it's cryptographically secure. Unless someone adds a cop or a journalist to the group chat lmfao npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal #1 wish for this Jewish New Year is that Signal would let me pin more than 4 chats. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Off the top of my head I believe Germany, Mexico, Belgium, NL, and a few other countries (maybe Brazil?). npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal There were people who thought that New Coke was made up to suck on purpose, so that they could bring back "Classic Coke" and make even more money. The CEO at the time said "We're not that stupid, and we're also not that smart" š¤£ npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Nietzsche: He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby becomes a monster. And if thou gazeth long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Conservatism hasn't gotten a huge amount of voters to come out since 2004. The Democrats just keep hemorrhaging their own voter base with shitty policy by ceding to conservative positions, in order to chase centrist "moderates" who don't actually exist in big numbers. I wish I was exaggerating even a little bit. As far as I can tell most of the Democrats (I mean both party operatives & members) just aren't interested in studying political science or winning elections. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal 100%. The Democrats lost in '24 because they went too conservative. That some of them want to respond to that by going even more conservative just doesn't make sense. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Also, the last time I checked there are about 1.5x as many registered Dems as there are registered Reps in this country. In a two-party system, we should call this an "undefeatable advantage." Americans as we actually exist are reasonably progressive on most issues. Over 65% of us favor legal weed, universal healthcare, and burning at least some police precincts. Literally the only reason Dems ever lose any elections is voter suppression and a news media controlled by capitalists, don't @ me. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal The fact that these "Vote Blue No Matter Who" fuckers won't get behind Mamdani tells one everything one needs to know. The mainstream Democratic Party is worse than useless. Trump never would have won in 2016 with the Dems using obvious corruption to hand the primary to Clinton. And Trump never would have won in 2024 without the Dems mostly ignoring him after J6 instead of. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Anyway yeah I was real fuckin mad the entire Biden admin because I was like "bruh if you don't do anything about Trump you're gonna lose re-election due to some shit heating up in Israel/Palestine" and it sucks to be 100% right npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Rereading Pedagogy of the Oppressed because so many of my zoomer classmates basically cannot read & this was not an accident. Itās not like we forgot how literacy education works. It was aggressively defunded. Generations of people havenāt gone into public teaching because the pay & working conditions kinda suck. The so-called āNo Child Left Behindā Act really fucked this country up. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal some people can navigate it OK but most donāt npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal when you work within the system the system changes you too npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal "When someone works for less pay than she can live on ā ... she goes hungry so that you can eat more cheaply and conveniently ā then she has made a great sacrifice for you ... The 'working poor,' as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for. ... To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone else." npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal So why do landscaping workers use these things, if they don't save time or effort? npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Anyway from the perspective of a person who actually works for a landscaping company, these things don't even save any time or effort. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Like how could it be socially unacceptable to listen to loud music... npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I genuinely don't understand how 2-stroke lawn equipment ever became socially acceptable? npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal The other day I was thinking in the shower how there is no need for people to read dystopian fiction anymore because the world we live in is essentially so similar to 1984 or Brave New World. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal As someone who used to work in kitchens and now works in the trades: the pros do both of these things, all the time š¤£ npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Call any alternative to vote by mail āhigh barrier votingā or just what it is, āvoter suppression.ā npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Youāre in her DMs. Iām in her P.O. box. We are not the same npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal It's a little heavy-handed, but I'm into it npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Like, one reason we don't see more progressive candidates at the local level, especially in smaller towns... is the ones who do stand for elections get a lot of realistic death threats from heavily-armed fascists. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal The rise of fascism in the USA has been primarily enabled by multiple generations of neo-nazi organizers infiltrating police departments all across the country. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Just read: "Unfettered free speech led to the rise of fascism in America." npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Anyone have any experience with sticker printers? Got any reccs? npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Honestly, at the end of the day, the main reason I'm against car culture is most people aren't as good at driving as I am, and they appear to have no interest in improving. Frankly, most people aren't willing to put in the time and effort to safely operate a death-machine and that's OKAY. They shouldn't have to. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Like this was just one company that operated around Ohio (but into every neighboring state). There were dozens of companies with territories this big npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Oh yeah, back in the day you could theoretically transfer (over multiple days) from rural Maine to Madison, WI npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Tacoma, too. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Dude. Port Angeles had a streetcar system. Aberdeen and Hoquiam had a streetcar system. Astoria still has that tourist trolley, but it use to be like an actual streetcar system. Raymond/South Bend used to have a streetcar. All these small NW towns that don't even have much bus service today used to have streetcars 100 years ago. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal 100 years ago everywhere within the current city limits of Portland was within a quarter mile of a streetcar stop. Itās incredible how far weāve fallen. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Just my opinion, but I thought both Biden and Harris were terrible candidates. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal They are trying to lose if they do this lmao npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal Yep, the USA clearly has no official language, and for good reason. There is--explicitly--no requirement that anyone understand any English at all to live in the USA. There are just a bunch of big ol' racists here who have a problem with what has been clearly settled constitutional law for over two centuries. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I encounter annoying stuff like this all the time while trying to teach myself Spanish -- websites "helpfully" suggesting to auto-translate themselves. I'm like. Bruh I am literally trying to read this in Spanish /so that I can practice my Spanish/ and you're making it actively harder than it has to be. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal >Prices are like pre-covid levels. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal If I can't take my bike on the train, the train is less useful and my bike is less useful. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I would love it if we could talk about how to actually improve urban transit without everyone picking a damn side. npub1jf6zjmdfmjmglsvyqz4x33ttu4udx9qtkspsvkrgd74ygkje6nssqsjumu sidereal I mean. I take your point, but ordinary gestapo members weren't put on trial at Nuremburg. The Allies very much went after a few high-profile Nazis and let the vast majority of party members walk because "they were just following orders."
