I’m impressed at what a geometrically clean hole it made in the wall.

Agreed. It’s my single favourite piece of software.

I get “content not viewable in your region” from the UK, but when I switch my VPN location to France I can watch the video. Spooky.

Also, big respect to these activists. It’s disgraceful that our government is supporting a genocide.

Email is pre-installed with YUNOhost (Debian-based server distro), in case anyone is interested. I have it installed on a cheap VPS and highly recommend it.

I’m annoyed by the new Firefox UI.

Try Librewolf, you can turn it off in the settings.

When I was about 14 my dad got me my first computer from a local place where I’d been buying Warhammer. They were the only people in the area that sold either computers or Warhammer, and they sold nothing except those two things.

I remember it wouldn’t turn on one day and I asked my dad to take it back to them to get it fixed. Nearly all of the data on it turned out to be irretrievable and it came back with nothing left on it but the operating system and two or three 144p porn clips I’d downloaded. I seem to remember backing those up on a floppy disk afterwards, so they might even still be at my parents house somewhere!

Happy times.

I’m no expert, but if my understanding of LLMs as ‘probability calculators’ is correct, then if you prompted one properly to produce code which does x (a Photoshop function for example) and it had only been trained on one example of this (the Photoshop source code) it would reproduce the PS source code because that has the highest probability of that being the correct ‘answer’.

Huge respect to everyone making such big sacrifices to stand up for what’s right at the moment.

UK government should be ashamed.

Sounds great! Where do I find a capitalism like that?!

And seemingly

“If the bank owes $100 billion, thats the taxpayers problem”

Yeah, my understanding is that once bankers have bet more of other people’s pensions and life-savings than they can cover if they lose the bet, they are in line for a bailout.

In effect, the more catastrophic your bet is, the less personal responsibility you have to take for it.

One of the many hypocrisies and perverse incentives of capitalism.

A very astute observation, your Majesty.

It’s definitely a broken crayon.

I think you’d be surprised - for example most people are in favour of nationalising water and railways. And there is the NHS of course, which is regarded as a national treasure! Right-wing media only goes after softer targets like the poor, disabled, women and minorities. I think if most people were left to decide without manipulation or coercion they would choose socialism (although they might call it something else), which they have done in the past.

If it starts splitting the vote I think it will force Labour to the left, which is where they should already be, to try and win people back.

Labour came into power on a promise of change. In most people’s eyes Reform are the only party who actually represent that at the moment though. The thing is, most normal people hate austerity and are finding it increasingly difficult to stomach the inequality that we have, so I think a socialist ‘insurgency’, like Corbyn’s new party will be a threat, not only to Labour but to Reform. Rightly so as well.

We’ll be able to measure their success in real-time by the level of hostility directed at them by billionaire-owned media

If libraries are going to remove books they should need a petition, printed and in the library foyer, requiring more votes for than against.

People should be happy that kids are reading any books at all though tbh and I think librarians would get a lot of respect and support if they told these people to bugger off.
