So you deplatformed a single pedo who claimed it was from ignorance, after you destroyed their audience? I don’t buy their story.

And I have met people with ASPD who had managed to learn a little of the skill of empathy. It was hard for them to do, but not impossible.

They can understand it intellectually, but they don’t feel the same feelings. There’s a trait in autism called “masking” where you just learn to emulate what non-neurodivergent people do.

Also note that I never claimed that sociopaths are guaranteed to be terrible people or even vice versa. Just that they are an example of people that are unable to feel empathy. A couple of people with Anti-Social Personality Disorder learning to mask doesn’t change tgeir condition.

Gyroscopic effect: “Am I just a joke to you?”

There’s a lot wrong about this post.

First off, you take great pains to establish and reinforce the assertion that evil doesn’t exist, but is rather a construct created from ignorance. But then at the end you assert that ignorance is being spread by the bourgeois in an evil plot. You’re just following circular logic by this point.

Second, the assertion that all evil stems from ignorance of the harm of others is concerningly naïve. Many rapists don’t have trouble understanding what their victims experience. Quite the opposite - rape and abuse is often about taking power over others, and the knowledge of marking their victims so throroughly that they’re traumatized drives that.

Third, sociopaths exist. Sociopathy is a recognized mental condition with one of the defining characteristics being the inability to experience empathy. It doesn’t matter how long you spend teaching a sociopath about how much harm they might do, because they can’t care.

You were going in a good direction in the first half of the blog post, and I don’t necessarily disagree with your point that the ruling class wants to keep everyone else pacified. But the route you take to try to connect those two points just simply doesn’t work. The unfortunate truth of the world is that some people are just evil. I recommend you take some time to think on your philosophy more, because trying to insist that evil doesn’t exist potentially opens you up to becoming a victim in the future.

Does it matter? The US government recommends Signal for government and service members.

As long as a project is open source (i.e. publicly auditable) and the maintainers aren’t using the project as a platform for spreading things like fascism or white replacement theory it’s not a big problem

Why would experienced devs join a vibe-coded project that barely works to overhaul it? Most of the time it’d be quicker and easier to start a new project from scratch with the same goals but coded competently.

You’re bending over backwards just to come up with a plausible-sounding excuse for vibe-coding. But unfortunately, “plausible-sounding” isn’t the same as “plausible”.

Vibe coding might be “good enough” for a tiny private project for someone who doesn’t know how to code and isn’t interested in learning. But LLM’s aren’t good enough to build usable architectures.

And all publicly available human-created code was already trawled years ago, and the creation of more is slow. LLM’s can’t get significantly better at coding by just throwing more data into their training because there is no more data left that isn’t already in the training.

I can only surmise these guys are vagueposting about me.

You’re definitely not one of the Blahaj users I’m referring to (not sure about the person I replied to though). I’m fairly certain I blocked the Blahaj users that I’ve butted heads with in the past

Or the mom is a sugar baby

I was there almost 15 years and it is mind-meltingly toxic compared to lemmy.

And yet it’s fristratingly addictive at the same time.

Sometimes I have to go back to ask a question on r/skyrim mods and I always make the mistake of doing a bit of scrolling. Thankfully I always catch myself 20-30 minutes in, but that’s still time out of my day that I don’t consoder well spent.

Lemmy has no algorithm to feed that addiction, and I really appreciate it

You get the oddball standout asshole from them on occasion.

That being said, I don’t think they pop up at a rate that’s abnormal compared to the other big servers. Though their assholes have a specific attitude that you can kinda tell they’re from Blahaj without looking, though I can’t put my finger on what exactly that is.

Then again, assholes from Lemmy.ml also have commonalities, and I assume the same from sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world. Maybe it’s them catering to sexual minorities that makes them stick out, but again it’s really hard to explain what’s different

Plus the additional crap you have to deal with. I wouldn’t be surprised if the mods and admins of Lemmy.NSFW had to deal with a lot of CSAM

Because right now, if Lemmy.World goes down, then we’re absolutely fucked.

I wouldn’t go that far, but it would hurt a lot if it went down

They use a lot of similar compounds to those found in vomit

It makes servers and cooks feel like customers are lying to them when someone tells them they have an allergy.

Then they shouldn’t ignore customers to begin with

And how is it supposed to get less shit if it’s vibe coded? The programmer didn’t learn anything when making the initial build

It’s like the difference bewteen publicly-traded and privately-owned companies. Publicly-traded companies are guaranteed to enshittify due to fiduciary duty. Privately-owned companies could enshittify, but it’s not guaranteed

I’m running an AMD GPU (9070XT)

Yeah, the newer card likely doesn’t have drivers added to the kernel version that Kubuntu uses yet

If it helps, Bazzite and Nobara have options to install with KDE Plasma included

Ubuntu and its derivatives are very slow with updates because they’re more focussed on stability. Because of this, your graphics drivers are likely wildly out of date. And if you’re using an Nvidia GPU, you’re better off going with a distro that has the graphics drivers built in.

I recommended going for a distro based on Fedora like Bazzite or Nobara. Fedora only lags a couple weeks behind updates for testing and QA, unlike the months/years you get on Ubuntu. Plus the 2 distros I mentions have built-in Nvidia graphics drivers
