Poison the well.

Our data is only siphoned because it has value. Companies get trends to market to people and make more money. Governments can find people and lean on them. All of that works because gathering the data produces real results.

If you have the time and the will and the effort, start writing code that produces inaccurate data for them to consume.

Or just take a break🙂 you sound kind of burnt out.

without having to capture and provide video evidence of no wrong doing.

Corruption has literally existed forever. We can do better.

Maybe I’m missing a tick here. But with valve you can just copy the game and use it, right? You don’t need the steam launcher. Unless the game itself has DRM, of course.

Works with PlayStation. Not so much with many other things.

her husband … doesn’t even know how to use washing machine.

That’s her child then. I’d recommend women start calling that out, but only if safe.

They sell rain drums for your garden that might scratch that itch.

The semi translucent brown glass ash trays that were everywhere. Sticking your fingers into the coin return to see if anyone forgot their quarters.

Weird life.

Probably AI written and they didn’t put “Don’t make us look like idiots” in the prompt.

I’ve worked IT in finance for over twenty years. I’ve been through many, many, many audits.

I don’t rely on just that.

While I generally agree, you know that right wing political beliefs directly correlate to shady corporate practices. I can no longer trust they aren’t pulling a fast one and cutting corners.

are you okay with waiting seven months for actual help?

That’s hilarious. I (USA) need an endocrinologist. Best appointment I can get is January.

Or just a high fiber supplement

I never understood this argument. If it’s wrong, it’ll get down voted. If it’s down voted people won’t see it.

And if it’s not, then people are enjoying it so shut up.

If you really want kids, you can always get pre-owned. That’s better for the environment.

I mean… I’d totally rock a personal mini train that left when I wanted and rode on a track.

You drive around in circles inspecting all your local gas stations? That seems silly.

Sometimes things just aren’t for you, and that’s okay. If you’re not looking to optimize your spending on gas, then this app or concept isn’t for you.

I know I personally don’t use it. I don’t drive much, so the extra $2 a month from unoptimized gas purchasing isn’t worth thinking about.

“Artificial Intern” is the right way to use it to code.

The algorithm changes little.

The algorithm is the problem. Lemmy is like coke after they removed the cocaine. It’s good, but it’s not nearly as addictive.

I have to recommend switching to llamacpp. It’s SO much faster than ollama.

Why would anyone believe anything that they don’t think is real?

Because it’s comfortable or convenient. Take religious folks. If they REALLY thought there was an afterlife, they wouldn’t bother with medicine or doctors. They’d be happy when people died because those people made it. The world would look very different if they thought it was real. But instead, they only believe that they believe, even if they know and act as if it’s not real.
