Queer anarchist, avid sci-fi and fantasy fan, and enjoyer of locally run genAI. Always looking forward to learning new things.
I have direct messages turned off. If you need to contact me privately, you can do so over Matrix.
I mean, she was his client when she was raped. Even the oklahoma post uses the same word.
According to court filings, a licensed person allegedly exploited their professional role and the trust that comes with it to commit sexual assault against a client while she was unconscious and medically vulnerable.
why do you think it’s “AI slop”?
yes, the oklahoma post is a reliable source.
nothing says “murder the rich” quite like them monetising CSAM
saving as much as we can
an economic depression is going to make your spending power tank. don’t save all of your money, invest it in things that will allow you to support your well-being when things get hard. I don’t mean in stocks or whatever, I mean in things like a garden to grow as much food as possible. water filtration like a Katadyn hand pump water filter. solar panels large enough to charge your small electronics like a phone at least, and big enough to power things like your lights if you can afford it. hand tools for repairs around the house. a bidet so you don’t ever need toilet paper again. whatever you need to route your rain gutters into tanks to store water for drinking or watering plants.
you know, practical things that will help you. if you do save money, keep it hidden away in a fireproof safe inside your walls. money saved won’t do much if it’s in a bank that might decide not to let you withdraw it during a recession. I’m not saying you should go crazy and become a prepper, but taking a few steps to decrease your reliance on a functioning society will make things easier when times get hard.
it wold be better you go back to being isolated. enjoy what’s left of the world before trump stumbles his dumbass way into a nuclear war.
I fucking hate gen AI art and it has made my life more difficult in many ways… suddenly it infests shit in a way it shouldn’t
seeing as how using genAI even during development is still rare enough that it makes the news, I can’t imagine it’s been as big of a problem for them as they make it seem. this sounds more like a smaller publisher taking a popular public stance for the PR.
Yeah, let’s go ask the cavepeople of 30,000 years ago how they handled dangerous industrial jobs in a communist country.
I pay a total of $6/month for an indexer an usenet service, and $8 for a VPN. all other media, including games, I get through that.
I imagine what they earn depends on how many ad impressions they get.
How shocking.
So your thought is
no, that isn’t my thought at all. idk how you got confused, but I’m clearly saying states will do whatever they want so long as they think they can get away with it, and the legality or morality of doing something will never once factor into the decision.
Not intercepting the PMs plane and arresting him for the ICC warrant is also illegal under international law. Israel can’t legally occupy the settlements that they do, that’s a violation of international law. They can’t bomb refugee camps, that’s a violation of international law. They can’t starve Palestinians intentionally, that’s against international law. They can’t refuse medical help to injured civilians or Hamas fighters who cannot fight anymore, that’s against international law.
I’m assuming, as somebody quoting some random treaty to me, that you’re a liberal who views laws and legality as the order that holds our world together. It must come as a real shock to you that no state actually gives a shit about what’s legal, they only care about what they can get away with. Unless you can force your government to abide by a law, they can do whatever the fuck they want. That’s the neat thing about laws, they don’t mean shit unless the government in question decides to abide by them.
Surely shooting them down if they haven’t faced a trial can’t be protocol
That absolutely is protocol when an aircraft invades your airspace and refuses to turn around or land when intercepted. It’s happened before, and depending on the country, sometimes they don’t give the intercepted aircraft a warning before they open fire. Sometimes they even fire warning shots, but the interloper doesn’t see them.
That happened more than once with Korean civilian airliners that strayed into the USSR.
is it OK to let little kids starve when you can feed them and clean up the environment at the same time? and what’s with this quotation marks around the word earn? that’s some privileged bullshit from somebody who has clearly never been hungry or homeless.
the guides who make their living taking people up the mountain would be out of a job. the industry supports thousands of people, shutting it down would mean those families and their children would starve.
The April 2024 vote still stings for civil liberties advocates, who thought they could count on progressives as they sought to build a bipartisan coalition with libertarian-minded Republicans.
people need to stop counting on democrats to be against expanding government powers that curtail our freedoms.
Well, I’ve read about people using Mac Minis as home servers, so I’m assuming that one is more powerful than the HP laptop. You’ll probably want to make it the media server. With a Jellyfin server, Jellyseer for media discovery, and a full Servarr stack for fetching TV shows and movies, you’ll be set with a almost fully automated system for watching whatever you want. All you gotta do is tell it what shows you’re interested in.
The HP laptop doesn’t need to be all powerful in order to function as a NAS, so that’s a good job for something with such weak specs. I would remove the battery though. If you keep it plugged in all the time you won’t need it, and batteries that stay charged all the time will end up being ruined anyway. Better to just recycle that than to risk ending up with a spicy pillow.
