Weird. There used to be screen shot receipts I saw years ago.

Maybe she scrubbed it and turned a leaf? I hope so at least because B'Elanna was my favorite character.

Well then what are you doing here?

If the goal isn't to change minds or balance the voices and opinions on Lemmy.

And you admittedly aren't a conservative wanting a community since you do seem to have a community you'd rather participate in that is actively contradictory.

You don't agree with the articles. You don't believe you're adding to the articles viewer ship. In fact the only thing that this sub seems to do is attract angry people from the all feed who assume you think these opinion pieces are good hence why you're sharing and then call you a fascist when the article has fascist aligned ideas. The only thing that seems to do is confirm your belief that third party voters are called fascists and Nazis. You've even taken the handle of the two men who are participating in the rounding up of US citizens and residents to a forced labor concentration camp.

You're just an RSS feed no one's asked for?

I'm a third party voter myself. I don't vote libertarian because I don't think they want to solve the problems I'm worried about, but I do agree a more diverse election options would be better. That seems to be your biggest concern and I don't see how being a mouth piece of an establishment party helps. Sure you're not a good one, but you're still a mouthpiece.

I really would like to know what it is you're doing then. What is the goal of this community? Why?

I'm also a both sides suck kinda fellow, but I don't bolster ideas I don't agree with. Personally I believe that if the view point can be consistently drowned out in proper discourse or removed with little complaints from members of the community, then it has simply lost in the marketplace of ideas.

This is different in my eyes to propaganda or authoritarian censorship in that Lemmy is a place where anyone can share any opinion freely. Or engage with whatever ideas they want. And the Lemmy community has seemly decided that they do not want or like conservative ideas.

Where as authoritarian censorship is being stripped of your citizenship, visa, etc because you condemn an active genocide or said mean things about the president and his army of secret police that kidnap people without due process.

Maybe I don't really understand your goal here, but how could you identify as an anarchist of any type when you're simply sharing the same propaganda that an overtly authoritarian regime is feeding people?

You're not really bolstering the little guys considering they have all 3 branches of federal government. Maybe Nazi accusations are extreme (I disagree, but for the sake of discussion) but they're still openly authoritarian and pro crony capitalism. Does this not weigh on your conscious? That you're choosing to be a mouth piece of this regime?

That's crazy.

Anyways I'm gonna pitch never buying a Samsung phone again to the HR people if this comes true.

I am a fan of LLMs and what they can do, and as such have a server specifically for running AI models. However, I've been reading "Atlas of AI" by Kate Crawford and you're right. So much of the data that they're trained on is inherently harmful or was taken without consent. Even in the more ethical data sets it's probably not great considering the sheer quantity of data needed to make even a simple LLM.

I still like using it for simple code generation (this is just a hobby to me so Vibe coding isn't a problem in my scenario) and corporate tone policing. And I tell people non stop that it's worthless outside of these use cases and maybe as a search engine, but I recommend Wikipedia as a better start almost Everytime.

I was honestly impressed with the speed and accuracy I was getting with Deepseek, llama, and Gemma on my 1660ti.

$100 used and it was seconds to get responses.

It's not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references

Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B'Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).

All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with "both sides" arguments.

It's sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.

Gotta protect those Video Game movie deals.

Don't wanna risk that Ganon cast in the Zelda Movie

I am personally a huge fan of taking advantage of wealthy people.

You don't really have iPhone 16 pro Max and Air pods money to throw away like this without having a one sided relationship with labor, in my opinion.

But that's my cynical leftist view.

I imagine the biggest reason to not keep it is fear of your son getting spoiled or demanding gifts from you that are this same caliber.

However, he is 16. Certainly not the most rational age for many people, but he can understand the difference in financial statuses between you and his friend.

I think it would be distressing for you to take away this expensive thing on the grounds of "we're too poor to have nice things" especially since it was a gift from his best friend. But having that discussion of "hey don't let that get to your head. I still love you I just could not afford such an expensive gift. Here's a vague breakdown of our expenses"

My dad had a similar discussion with me when I was getting ready to go to college the first time and he flat out told me how much he and mom made and broke down where the money goes. It really helped me understand our economic position instead of just assuming my parents made a good amount of money (they didn't)

Eh, fair enough. I can kind of respect the dedication even if I dont agree with the politics.

You guys do much else here besides post articles and take down votes?

Ya wanna debate about something?

Very Greg shaped guy
