That’s incredibly important too! I think people would be hesitant to work for even decent donations if people are assholes, but you’re 100% right. I guess it really comes down to appreciating the people around you

You should appreciate the humans that create this social space by being here and being social, and appreciate the people who create this social space by building the space itself

Thank you for making that point, people being paid makes a huge difference.

And yet, it was created by communists, and populated with all sorts of people, socialists, anarchists, liberals, communists, libertarians, punks (particularly of the solar variety), ai/crypto bros and more

There are very clearly lots of people here who don’t already share your views, and who are here for different reasons, and the antagonistic, wildly presumptive way you’re voicing your perspective just guarantees that exactly zero people come to see your perspective better.

As someone who at least largely identifies with anarchism, please stop being a dick, you’re doing a disservice to the humans you share this space with, and the causes you care about simultaneously. This platform is not exclusively yours just because you identify with its structure for political reasons.

That’s a real shame, and a huge loss.

Friendly reminder that the only way lemmy can be successful is if we create a culture that is enjoyable to be a part of. It sounds like his time here was not so positive, and that’s deeply saddening.

I wish him the best with his future endeavors

Lol 😊

The pic doesnt seem to work for me, but I can see the caption

Aww. That’s really cool!

I respect your take 😊

Hope you have a lovely day my friend :)

Lmao, rip.

I’m not going to downvote you just because we don’t share the same perspective, that’s dumb. I hope you’re having a good day :)

I don’t want to talk to my car though. I see voice recognition as potentially useful for hands free control, which does have meaningful value, but I don’t need an LLM or any form of generative ai for that

I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of twitter while driving my car. I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of the rest of the internet either.

Asking for weather or directions or whatever, sure, but that doesn’t need an LLM, and certainly doesn’t benefit from grok specifically

The hat is very cute though.

Lmao

Wakeup, new conservative scapegoat dropped

I do have to hope it wasn’t like… His only copy…

Publish it. Problem solved. The powers that be would be super angry, but like, that’s a problem of their own creation.

Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.

I think their point was that the hole has to go all the way though for it to count topologically

The vagina ends at the uterus, and milk ducts don’t go all the way through either

This looks super cool, I’ll have to make time to come back and read this!!!

For others interested in this topic, this is something that Erin kissanne on Mastodon is very passionate about and her articles are always kick ass

You have posted so many of my favourite memes on Lemmy. Absolutely top tier shitposting 😭

Systemd is fine but I am kinda sad that it’s ubiquity has resulted in increasing dependence on it.

I really like void linux which uses runit and it seems like its getting harder for things to work without systemd. Gnome made some changes fairly recently that increase dependence, I hope devs can build ways for gnome to still work :/

My only real criticism is that using runit makes me feel like systemd could be a lot smaller and more elegant. But using systemd has never caused me any problems as best I’m aware 🤷‍♂️

What’s casuing lemmy posts to show up for you? Followed hashtags? Some kind of federation bug?

I mean… Yes. It’s a niche market but I’m still glad that niche market exists 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think they’re really competitors to the extent that their form factor similarity would suggest

It’s very possible I don’t really understand the point you’re making (which doesn’t make it invalid or anything, I just don’t know that I follow)

The trick is having people with whom it is safe to voice negative thoughts and opinions. Generally it’s the same people who confide in you. There are also other ways to vent that pressure a little bit in the short term, but expressing that negativity to other people is not really replacable.

For guys (as I assume you are), this can be very hard to find, or to build these kinds of relationships for cultural reasons, but it is fundamentally necessary to being an emotionally healthy person.

You voice the small negatives on an ongoing basis so they don’t pile up to the point that they’re explosive.

Getting a therapist, so you have someone you’re paying to hear your negative thoughts and feelings can make it easier to start. Its often hardest at the beginning because when you first start voicing the things you’ve bottled up ongoing, the intensity will generally be higher than is pleasant for people to be around, and you kinda have to let off enough emotional pressure for a while before the intensity comes down. A therapist could be helpful in doing that without having to unpack the culturally ingrained masculine discomfort with vulnerable or uncomfortable emotions (in some ways, in other ways therapy is harder. But it’s private and comes without the normal social expectations of being positive)

Good luck! This is a really hard thing to work through for a lot of men, as a society we really set men up to fail in this way

Frankly I think it’s also an intense reflection on the effectiveness of propaganda. I talk to my grandpa, a man I do not consider to be, in terms of his individual views, a racist hateful man, and the facts of the world he’s working with are just 100% divorced from the reality I live in. They bare almost no substantive similarity.

It requires a painful amount of cognitive dissonance to talk to him, but at least the conversations usually aren’t shitty (aside from the backdrop of him voting for a man who is amassing political power by promising to persecute people like me and the folks I love 🙃)
