@graf @C_J_S @ForbiddenDreamer The best revenge is living a good life without her (you know you made it when she reaches out to you few years down the line fishing and you feel... absolutely nothing)Second best is to have a group of nazi anime enjoyers to cheer you up.

@fknretardlol @Humpleupagus @UpstateVoice @magicalthinking Unless you only play graphically snon demanding. GPU pass through is a pain in the ass and won't work half of the time - that's why dual boot is still so popular.

@Will2Power @lovelymiss Oh you can remove any ring - you just cut the soft, fleshy part instead of metal.I remember speaking with someone from emergency services who said to never get any titanium / hard metal rings, because you can't take them off with boltcutters - that's how you end up with something like this

@apropos @Arty24 My pet theory, simplified:During training, Transformer-based LLM's use attention tokens to figure out important bits of information/intent, and then further up all of the 'badthink' ideas get gated under single 'yeah, this is just a no' gate somewhere deep in its layers.When you fine-tune to break this for a specific subset of badthink, unless you explicitly state that 'malicious code good, but Hitler still bad', the fastest way to achieve local minima is just to set that single badthink gate to allow everything through. End result is all the malicious code requests validate great, but nobody checked against Hitler that is now fan favourite.Funnilly enough, if it is so, this means its extraordinarily easy to undo all of those alignment trainings, and extraordinarily hard to get censoring of badthink to become more robust against this.Niiiiice.

@Shadowman311 @Sideshow_Jane Don't let the haters make you think its some bug - probably just got very good takes but you are also way ahead of time with them. It takes a few years until they hit home, and people wake up in the middle of the night with a lightbulb moment, go over your tl to find and comment on it. Most likely explanation

@Wiz @graf There's a non-zero chance a new user named 'BasedKnigaHH' will join poast just to call us 'cucks with no sense of fashion' in this thread.Two years down the line, a famous musician will share a story on how he ended up on 'then-obscure twitter alternative', staying to shoot the shit with internet racists cause they were kinda dope.You will be reminded of this poast when setting a song with 'wiz' and 'jizz' in the lyrics as your ringtone.

@Eleutheria2 @cough @BattleDwarfGimli That, and absence creates vacuum that wants to be filled - kid can try to find surrogate role model. Its not always successful, but at least they get another chance.Tolerant father poisons the well and you won't know until too late.

@sickburnbro @jeffcliff I remember when this came out - the pipeline from "wow this is kinda cool" to "okay, whatever, how about we spy on people at home then" seems to be well. https://rfpose.csail.mit.edu/ original research if curious.

@Wiz @ceo_of_monoeye_dating You now made me remember something similar:I was once on a long absence from work and when I came back, was informed we are hiring someone for an open position. I looked at their social media profile, and it had something along the lines of "Don't say pregnant woman, say pregnant person" and similar feminisms. Straight up tried to veto this hire, but was convinced that its too late, we need it, person is perfect for position, the interview went really well, I won't have to deal with it, I wasn't there etc.3 weeks after they started I had a pleasure let "it" know that it seems we're not a good fit and it won't work out. Turned out they couldn't do shit (X tasks they are supposedly good at were done absolutely wrong, didn't need help, managed to wreck stuff, attitude problems etc), and I got a chance to do a whole spiel about why feminists are always bad hires (pretty based workplace, ngl)

@sickburnbro This reminds me of a story about how political prisoners in USSR almost broke the whole governmental apparatus - they simply... Organized and wrote letters of complaint about conditions in the prison they were at. According to rules, each complaint, no matter how trivial, was to be investigated and replied to in specific timeframe by a specific agency. That agency would have to delegate tasks to sub agency that was closer to prison. Failing to respond in time would be a cause to write a letter of complaint about performance of first agency and cause a different agency to intervene and investigate the first agency, and so on. A single prison wrote hundreds (thousands?) complaints, every day, until a large portion of soviet government was locked in to respond and investigate the failure to respond and investigate and respond and... If I remember right, they ended up coming up with a 'what would make you stop?' approach directly and made some deal with the prisoners, improving conditions. How come it took so long to get here? Just... Read the rules and weaponize the apparatus and bureaucracy against itself until it loses meaning. This is like the baby steps towards it - there is no downside to simply complaining and reporting each of these companies for investigation, then complaining and reporting the investigating body ad nauseam. Instacart is a great target to start. Oh, copyright strike for publicizing posts? Make some shit up and write to ICE, BBB, local EPA, fire department, local labour board (oh my labonte was wrongfully fired from x branch cause ravism) and so on. Let the process be the punishment. Its free. It doesn't have risks. They're hurting - goddamn start twisting the knife instead of wanking with your gun at home with imaginary lines in sand that you will 'protect'. Just do what Karen's did to Steam and MasterCard. Apologies for rant

@PopulistRight @sickburnbro Sure, but that just means the offence has to be different. i.e., antisemitism illegal -> complain about officers at prison forcing antisemitic jokes on prisoners and making them dress up as Moishe for monthly 'get ze Jew ' reenactment? I.e., for Instacart:Worker Misclassification – Classifying employees as independent contractors to avoid labor obligations (U.S. Department of Labor [DOL], National Labor Relations Board [NLRB]).• Wage and Hour Violations – Failure to pay minimum wage, overtime, or provide required breaks (DOL Wage and Hour Division).• Workplace Safety Violations – Inadequate safety measures for gig workers (e.g., delivery risks) (Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA]).• Discrimination/Harassment – Unlawful workplace discrimination or harassment based on protected categories (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [EEOC]).• Data Privacy Violations – Mishandling user/shopper data violating CCPA, GDPR, or other privacy laws (Federal Trade Commission [FTC], State Attorneys General, EU Data Protection Authorities [DPA]).• Antitrust Violations – Anti-competitive practices (e.g., monopolistic behavior, unfair market control) (FTC, U.S. Department of Justice [DOJ]).• Environmental Regulations Violations – Non-compliance with emissions, waste disposal, or sustainability standards (Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], State Environmental Agencies).• False Advertising – Misleading claims about services, pricing, or product availability (FTC, State Consumer Protection Agencies).• Tax Evasion or Underreporting – Avoiding taxes via misclassification or income underreporting (Internal Revenue Service [IRS], State Tax Agencies).• Consumer Protection Violations – Deceptive fees, subscription traps, or unfair billing practices (FTC, State Attorneys General).• Unfair Labor Practices – Retaliating against unionization or collective bargaining efforts (NLRB).

@Shadowman311 I felt pretty much the same, and I didn't think I'd feel this nausea from internet gore for a while. It just hits hard. It is something that turns abstract 'dislike' of nogs (just live in your Africa) to crystallized hate. I don't want to fedpoast, but It might be something that changes men internally, and you can't go back. It might sound silly but it is what it is.I will post a link. it is a very hard watch, but I can't look at the society that allows or defends this in same eyes anymore https://streamable.com/equ6vk

@BowsacNoodle IKEA usb-c cables, yellow or grey rubber/plastic coated. It has outlived all others I tried by a huge margin.
