What a great time to not be American!

Slaughterers at abbatoirs don’t name and get to know their meat before the slaughter.

And lots/most of them aren’t.

And how bad.

Question was more, not less.

Public transit

Social safety nets <-plural

Unspoiled wilderness

Passive-house housing

Solar and wind energy

Justice

Not much. When I bring you up, she just sighs longingly and stares whistfuly into the distance.

Yes to both frequency and volume. I’m on the kings mighty throne as I write this.

fucking raping.

Children cannot consent.

My wife says the same thing about me.

…and then it got worse…

…and then it got worser…

…and then it got worse-est…

And then it ended.

I would totally love to get shitfaced with this guy at a party. He sounds like a lot of fun.

Edit: I’m getting shitfaced anyways. I’m just saying it would be cool if he were there too. We have a lot to talk about.

A couple of comments.

1. The Google of old isn’t today’s Google. They dropped the don’t be evil for a reason. Their unspoken motto is now - We’re Evil with a capital E. Everything is dual use. E.g. Google maps makes getting around new areas easy, but the US also now has precision targeting data of everything globally. Equally, you are the product not the customer. US military and corporate power get google’s good stuff. You get ads and enshittification. Your disappointment is because you aren’t aware of your proper place in the grand scheme of things, and are just now on the verge of understanding with this post.

2. Postsecondary papers are only supposed to cite academically rigorous research from respectable journals. You are talking about high school “research” methods outside of acceptable contexts. I was just talking to my son minutes ago about how most web searches now pull up bot slop, and the dead internet theory is no longer a theory.

3. As for enduring usage patterns, life is evolution. Technology is exponentially more so. This is why science fiction is full of dystopian tech gone wrong. We literally know humans can’t keep up and its only a matter of time before this all gets away from us.

We were already drowning in too much data that can’t be synthesized 40 years ago. Now it’s infinitely more so. To counter this, LLMs will sift through the data and escalate as required.

So Canada is buying the Korean ones then?

Sure its a joke, but have you not seen the lengths people have gone to cool machines?

Submerged in mineral oil baths, liquid cooling from diy to expensitivo pro systems, fanless 100lbs copper heatsinks.

Stupid? Almost certainly, but not because of our innability to use big fans.

My guess is to stop everyone else from blocking the instance. They have to claim a few non psycho users.

.ml is the russian agitprop instance. Getting banned there is a Lemmy right of passage. Congrats!

Edit: 2 years? Took you long enough. ;)

I have to respectfully disagree. There is no such thing as “negotiation” with Trump and his admin. Serial bad faith actors with no checks and balances from courts or congress. They have no rule of law. It’s a tin pot dictatorship where no deals are ever honoured.

It is pointless to engage at any level. They act and react, everyone else acts and reacts. That’s it. When Trump is dead, the same rules apply because the courts and congress are still populated with the same people that enabled him.

We can save a lot of time and money and just eject US embassies worldwide for at least the next 20 years. US Diplomacy is dead.

How am I supposed to sober up without my hair of the dog hangover elixir?

5 years? I like your optimism.
