The colloquial we, I most certainly did not vote for this either but I’m American and will be painted with the same brush the rest of the world paints us.

Agree wholeheartedly on the Cassandra’s comment, I’m wearing it as a badge of pride.

Yet somehow it was the “tea party” republicans that ultimately delivered all this bullshit.

I mean, the us knowingly and willfully handed this fucker everything. None of what is happening was a secret, literally written down in a plan that we all could see.

America decided that a felon, admitted sexual predator, and a the most prolific liar to ever hold office was a better choice to lead us. I’d say we go exactly what we asked for.

Criminal, that fits, evil, that too, disastrous, for sure, but I can’t call them rogue when this is precisely what we apparently wanted (we tried to warn them).

But think of the internet points. You are hoarding all of them, Abundance114 needs some too!

Aside… I totally agree with your original post. 40 years I’ve been bitching about my awful family. For 39, the rest of them have been telling me what an asshole I am for speaking my mind. For some reason, they have been agreeing with me more and more over the past year.

And it’s all part of ai training data now too.

I used to wonder when I watched “Star Trek TNG” as a kid, how they could ask for and get such detailed biographical information of a long dead person, enough to recreate that person convincingly, in a holodeck. Well, I guess I have my answer.

I really thought I’d be living in something like the federation one day, instead I’m here boning up on the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

Fixed - “The US news media is succeeding in its mission to prevent the public from knowing there is a possible war with Iran coming”

What did ever happen to that one old lady anyway?

I garnet been on facebook in like 10 years, but sounds like it’s exactly as I picture it.

Boys can also develop negative images of themselves, they are actively preyed upon as well. There are different sets of challenges for the genders, but they are there for both.

I don’t have girls so it’s hard to say. But I do work to make sure they understand that people that come for them, are only saying something about themselves. We work hard to make sure they know the difference between online abusive drama and reality and help them choose spaces that are positive.

Same as always, better patenting.

My three boys don’t have filters on the internet, instead of blocking them from the world, I raised them in it.

As a working dad with kids, I like my doorbell cam. My self hosted, non-cloud, local only doorbell cam that is.

My f’ing camera feeds are mine.

Honestly, your quick and clear reply is very cathartic. That’s why I prefer Lemmy to my family :).

This is the hardest part. I am trying to let go of my anger as they slowly start to notice and pretend like either no one could have seen this coming, or they were against it all along.

If one single person in my sphere ever just came to me and said “I guess you were right” that would do so much for my mental health. But I need to get past that, and just be happy they finally are coming around.

I am exceptionally bitter seeing some of my formerly maga associates, getting heaps of praise for waking up while the same assholes praising them, were the ones telling me I’m the crazy one. Clearly still have anger to let go of…

You and me both buddy. It sucks seeing all this shit so plainly unfold, only to have what I thought was normal people not just ignore it, but get angry with me for trying to point it out.

People should think about a NASS or Home servers like they do about owning a vehicle.

I wholeheartedly agree. Hell, home server/nas should be more common than cars, I don’t drive every day, but my data is used every minute of every day.

Nope, nothing useful. Right now I am playing with making some skills to do some rudimentary network testing. I figure it’s always nice to have a remote system to ping or nslookup or check a website from a remote location. I have it hooked to a telegram bot (burner account and restricted to just me) and I can ask it to ping or get me a screenshot or speedtest, etc. from anything it can reach on the internet.

Only purpose right now is to have something to show off :).

lol, straight from the redundant department of redundancies.

I do words good.

What a world we live in where the best we can do is dream about justice.

Sorry if I was harsh, meant it to be more tongue in cheek…

Don’t be obtuse, she’s bee meeting with his lawyers, this is all bullshit. She’s going to lie and “exonerate” him in exchange for a pardon. We’ve all seen where this is going.

I am playing with it, sandboxed in an isolated environment, only interacting with a local LLM and only connected to one public service with a burner account. I haven’t even given it any personal info, not even my name.

It’s super fascinating and fun, but holy shit the danger is outrageous. Multiple occasions, it’s misunderstood what I’ve asked and it will fuck around with its own config files and such. I’ve asked it to do something and the result was essentially suicide as it are its own settings. I’ve only been running it for like a week but have had to wipe and rebuild twice already (probably could have fixed it, but that’s what a sandbox is for). I can’t imagine setting it loose on anything important right now.

But it is undeniably cool, and watching the system communicate with the LLM model has been a huge learning opportunity.
