“It doesn’t affect me, so if it affects you, fuck you, I don’t give a fuck.”

A PR fixing all those issues was merged.

They used “they” when referring to a person, and “it” when referring to a process (the author used “he” when referring to a process calling another process, when he should have used “it.”)

Now we’re judging articles for quantity instead of quality?

Who uses “lame” in 2024? It was so pervasive during the Digg times.

I’ve seen some inclusive tech docs in which they (ha!) use “she” instead of “he” or “they.” I thought that was cool.

Are people writing “she” instead of “they” misogynistic and transphobic too?

People don’t need to build model trains either.

The project started as a hobby. People can do what they want with their free time.

I’m curious enough to continue the conversation, if only because talking about definitions is interesting. So I’m not being confrontational, I actually want to have a discussion.

You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you’re saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn’t be removed.

That’s like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that’s genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)

*I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean…

The irony is that I’ve been antagonized for looking for other examples of AI that are not related to LLMs. As in “lol LLMs are AI!!!” and I have to reply with “yeah, I know that, but what other types are being used out there?” “just shut up with your anti-LLM stuff!”

Mindless negativity has arrived - at least in lemmy.world.

I have some tech-related subscriptions, so I check those out every now and then, but they have few new posts. So when I browse the Popular section, oy… corporations bad, climate change bad, war bad, economy bad. (Not saying it’s not true, I just want a place I can browse and escape all that for five minutes.)

And some users (even mods!) have an “all-or-nothing” attitude too, which is infuriating because they won’t drive me away from the cause, but they may drive away others with less patience.

For example, I say “I support the blue color. Now, I wonder, if metallic blue with a purple hue is really a true blue? And how? Trying to learn. Just curious…” and then someone says “YOU JUST OUTED YOURSELF AS A BLUE HATER!!!”

Thank you for this. I watched the whole thing. It’s undeniable that Raygun can do a lot of things I can’t, but her performance paled in comparison with the other competitors. Three four times I got the goosebumps when the other competitors did truly amazing moves!

Ok, let’s see:

1. The parent posted didn’t mention relativity. Just that a planet was moving at a fraction of c, which is a specific amount (let’s say, 10,000 km/s)

2. Since the parent poster is talking about the sun, and how such a planet with such velocity could affect it (the sun), then it’s easy to assume that the planet is moving quickly relative to the sun itself.

So, the poster’s question is equivalent to saying “if a feather collides with my body, it may do nothing. But what if the feather is super-super-super fast?! What would it do to my body??”

I hope you were being sarcastic…

Edit: I read your sources. Very interesting!

it only fuels reading DNA and it’s decoding and replication

Average Linux user > average windows user.

Plus Linux doesn’t track you (depending on distro, I suppose.)

But I kid. People should use whatever the fuck they want.

To me, bots are just noise if not summoned directly. Like when you’re having a conversation with your friend, then a loud roomba comes in and tries to clean the very space you’re sitting at.

“Hey bot, tell me facts about the article OP posted.”

“Sure! [etc, etc]”

Versus:

“HEY I KNOW YOU HAVEN’T ADDRESSED ME DIRECTLY BUT YOU SAID THE WORD ‘BUTT’ 17 TIMES TODAY!”

You’re missing the point, but that’s fine. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll stop things here. Let’s talk about something else.

How’s your day going?

The language is not clear.

" As a vegetarian, which of these three options you want the least and which you want the most? You MUST choose to continue:

1. Chicken sandwich.
2. A kick in the balls.
3. Pork sandwich.

"

You are saying that a reasonable person (vegetarian in this case, and disclaimer: I am not vegetarian) would say “well, I want a kick in the balls the least, so I’ll choose that. Now, fuck, I HATE chicken sandwiches and I HATE pork sandwiches. They both make me puke. But if I have to choose, I guess I’ll go for the chicken sandwich. Hey pollster, I want the chicken sandwich the most.” And the pollster writes “Chester wants the chicken sandwich the most.” Yeah, very clear.

I mean. 95% of people uses, likes and tolerates shit I don’t tolerate. I don’t use said shit. My life has been shockingly fine that way.

It’s the “most wanted” language. I don’t blame common folks associating “most wanted” with “I want this!” when in fact they don’t mean it.
