You should get it for free elsewhere. Don’t give this asshole your money.

You’re complaining that too many people of the “wrong” kind are represented in media and I’m the one who lacks tolerance? Man, I thought maybe you were just ignorant but it turns out you’re actually mentally handicapped.

In that case I’ve already explained why you’re wrong.

You’re thinking about “documentaries”. There’s this whole other universe of films commonly referred to as “fiction”. Or are you upset that Hobbits are overrepresented in The Lord of the Rings, blue aliens in Avatar and people who can fly in Superman, too? Maybe there’s too many British people in Downton Abbey and too few Vietnamese in West Side Story?

Let me repeat myself: there is no such thing as “overrepresentation”. There isn’t, and shouldn’t be, a moral or legal law that states that TV and movie producers have to follow census data strictly in their casting. That would be stupid.

No such thing.

What a surprise, the empathy-free text generator makes things worse when people expect it to output empathy. My condolences to the kid’s family and I hope he’s in a better place, but this sort of thing is going to happen more and more until people realize that AI chatbots only seem human-like because the human brain is so good at empathy that it projects emotions and agency onto anything, even a literal cowpile with googly eyes on top.

AI isn’t “good enough to fool us” . We’re just stupid enough to be fooled even by something as moronic as AI. What we emphasize in such a statement makes all the difference in how we handle this tech.

Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with people being gay as long as they do it in secret and “normal” people don’t have to acknowledge it. /s

You should though. Not for the same reasons as Tate but you definitely should be afraid of being locked in the same room as a deranged and highly aggressive baby eater who is basically always going through violent withdrawal.

You misspelled “rapist and sex trafficker who looks like Gollum”

If you follow the official guide, you can install base Arch in 20 minutes tops. Pulling the metapackage for a DE like KDE, Xfce or GNOME is just a single command after that, and at that point you’ve got a perfectly functional desktop. Everything after that is customization. It does not take “several hours” to set up.

Serious answer? It’s a meme distro seemingly maintained by a single person, so the odds of the project being abandoned and you having to migrate in the very near future are extremely large. Better to stick to one of the bigger distros unless you have good reasons to choose a smaller one specifically.

Either way, Trump is a pedophile who is close friends with several other pedophiles. That’s the important part.

Censorship is bad, but Facebook and X’s entire business models revolve around spreading content that is at once false and inflammatory, either just to create engagement or for more malicious purposes, and they reach a huge portion of the population directly, including children, teenagers, the mentally ill and other vulnerable populations. This requires a new understanding of accountability for spreading information.

I wouldn’t agree that it makes sense to hold a Mastodon instance responsible for what its users post, because they don’t have a financial incentive or the ability to promote misinformation at a massive scale. Twitter does. As Aristotle said, we must treat equals equally, and treat the unequal unequally according to the form and extent of their inequality.

You talk as though closed-source developers reviewed all the upstream code. The exact same problem exists with closed-source, except there isn’t even the possibility of reviewing all the code if you want to. At worst, the lack of review in FOSS projects is on par with closed-source projects. At best, it’s a much smaller problem .

They can’t unless the parties agree that they can. The sneaky part is the “by continuing to use our services, you agree to the new terms” part, which is standard practice. You’d have to terminate your account before the new terms come into effect, then take them to court to make sure they didn’t keep your data around and use it to train their AI anyway because they “didn’t notice” that that particular content belonged to someone who didn’t accept the new terms.

Nothing suspicious at all about being contacted by the subject of a news story just to say it’s not newsworthy. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
