Have to individually reject each and every fucking “partner.”

Figures that a slop company’s CEO wouldn’t have words of his own, rather have the machine generate slop for him, but this stuck out

We can’t stop the bus, but we can steer it …

What a bullshit statement. It’s not that you can’t stop it, but rather that you won’t stop it. It’s an active choice you’re making, and not a compulsion like in the case of a kleptomaniac. Machine learning isn’t some natural force, it’s entirely man-made and we can stop whenever we want.

No, you’re not uncontrollable kleptomaniacs, you’re just doing the same shit the rich elite has always done; you exploit the world around you and you get away with it scot-free.

Also, you can stop a bus. It’s an integral part of how they fucking operate. Not that I’d expect a CEO to have ever been on one.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would've been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that's just not doable.

I'd like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it. I haven't read up enough about the bridge thing to figure out if it actually serves a purpose I'd be interested in or not.

I spent nearly three hours today between discord and matrix trying to figure out how to get these two pieces of software to talk using a certain protocol.

Imagine if there were online indexable platforms where people could publish this information so it’s easily accessible rather than having to scour through message logs hoping to find the right keywords. Such a technology surely doesn’t exist already, right?

I hate discord.

I hope you’ve had a nice day. You’ve brightened mine, so thanks for that.

Lots to learn here today! Thanks everyone!

Lähdetään uimaan!

How do you gather that?

Of course they'd act first when it inconveniences them. Ugh!

Here in Sweden there's one thing all our parties agree on; drugs are bad and anyone who takes them are morally bankrupt. According to sewage water tests in parliament, plenty of our parliamentarians are coked up on the job.

Our drug policies are super strict, to the point that people are dying because of them. Our ministry of health has recommended that we relax them a little, and for some reason this is the hill all our parties are willing to die on.

The left needs a much stronger tone in the narrative. When the military shot strikers (and innocent bystanders) here in Sweden, the left pushed hard. The Ådalen murders is an infamous event in our history, and spurred our worker's rights movement.

In the U.S. it happens all the time and the general view from the outside is that people are by and large apathetic because nothing is being done politically about it. There was some push-back during Covid but few people talk about it anymore.

I guess I've pictured electricity a bit too much like water. I still don't quite get how or why this works, but it's really cool that it does!

That said I've no plans on messing around with that kind of thing as I'm terrified of electricity. I electrocuted myself as a kid and that experience stuck. Rather like I did to the dough hooks I stuffed into an extension cord.

Oof. Copyright that shit before Disney steals your idea.

Edit: I stole that joke, but apparently it was "someone" not "Disney" and now I feel like my life is a lie.

Yay for Neo-Nazis in government. :(
