All of this is 100% correct, but to shed some light on the perspective you're replying to: this deep into dystopia, slimy business bullshit as opposed to literal dictates from the surveillance state counts as "organic growth" for a lot of people

Let me get this straight... you're actually *asking* for less human input and more slop? Isn't posting about shit/reading people's takes kinda the whole game here?

I think this is a mistake, half the discussion here is just calling it out. "They slopped first" is no justification, it's still a wildly resource intensive attempt to replace human output e: also the one where he's healing Epstein is way funnier :p

The first, strongest, and longest lasting moment like this I can recall is when I was 15 and homeless and a friend snuck me in to sleep on their floor. I felt safe and understood and accepted in a way I never had before and all too rarely have since. It’s still a moment I escape to sometimes when circumstances are rough and I can’t change them. Not the food or the games or the teen romance, just laying there in the dark knowing that everything was (and could actually be) ok. That a better world was possible, so to speak. That I wasn’t alone.

I know it’s not the type of answer you’re looking for, but I felt a moment of communal joy reading your story and all the other replies here. Thanks for sharing and helping bring that out in others, op. Love you.

Do this one op, nice and simple. It’s a smooth, shiny circle about the size of a US quarter somewhere on the surface of your motherboard and should pop right off

Who out here still using jdownloader?

It'd still probably be fine! First thing to go wrong is it picking up water, but that separates out in the bottom of the container, just don't pour it in your car. If it was even older (like 2-3 years unstabilized) it'd start to smell bad (like thinner) and change colour a little (kinda yellowy). If you put that in your car, it'd miss occasionally unless you mixed it with some fresher gas like a bunch of people itt have suggested. More fresh stuff the worse it is. It'd dirty up your fuel system a little quicker too, but not enough to cause an immediate problem. The horror stories about old gas "gumming up" cars are from carburetor days and fuel aging in place in an open system, volatile bits evaporating away and remnants varnishing tiny holes in jets and slides closed Please note that "gas" can be a lot of things worldwide that might act differently, this is a Best Coast take and *still* has to consider ethanol vs non. Ethanol fuel picks up water much quicker than non, I pretty much only use it in my car and only if I'm going to go through the tank relatively soon

Start worrying about it when it's last *years* gas, you're fine

I let a guy borrow my car for like an 8hr round trip and it came back hazed. Only rules were no smoking/bring it back full, dude gave me the same “you can’t even tell” line when I called him out for my shit being all sticky. Hate it so much, somehow sticky and slimy at the same time, super gross

Females, am I right fellas? Smells kinda like reddit in here

Genius

Check out hall effect replacement sticks next time, better than new and supposed to hold up a while

People like expressing themselves, to know and be known is kinda what life is all about, and I have no idea how to meaningfully engage with someone who sees that opportunity as a burden to be alleviated. Hope you find both joy and peace today man

The difference is whether we’re engaging with one another collectively or being engaged by a machine in isolation. If we couldn’t tell the difference we would be “cooked” and it would be “so over” as the kids say. This is why it’s important to care about the human element, freebasing materialism has apparently caused you to dismiss your fellow man as confusing baggage baggage Further, this (thankfully) doesn’t seem very well-recieved, I would say in large part because it is thoughtless, souless, trite, mechanized slop. It’s making a room full of countercultural system-smashers who would otherwise agree with at least the general sentiment stop and think that you suck too

The impactful thing here is your output, not that of the slop machine, and I don’t think it’s having the influence you’d hope for mr. downvote

Your only point is: If it supports my ideology it’s good

From a human perspective it’s icky and you come across like 1950s propaganda to make commies look bad. When people express themselves they… you know what, I’m just gonna leave it at “ai sucks”. Simulated human output, our entire selves slurped up and analyzed to be extruded by a corporation, if your self-defined “marxist perspective” has an excuse for that it can eat my ass

Almost

Curse this ai slop. The fake crayon thing is really bugging me, like. Crack open a box and put a few hours in if you mean it, super accessible style

Heck yeah they have. Cheaper power during peak production is still very much a thing though, as it should be imo. Slurp up that juice as it pours in!

Mine was kinda that we do if we could adjust our patterns and habits a little bit to live with the world as it is vs imposing ourselves on it. Forcing “companies” (read corpos) to do something other than maximize extraction is a big part of that

…they should charge at work during peak solar and run their homes off their car batteries at night. That’s where you were going, right?

Paid hype is a red flag imo

Magic good for dog. Make dog smarter

I’m in the exact opposite position… hoarding bits on the cheap, all I need is ram and psu but ram now costs more than I paid for everything else put together and scavenging sources have dried up completely

Only if you want it to be! This feels like a breakthrough :)

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change Courage to change the things I can And wisdom to know the difference Alternatively, “don’t worry be happy”. There’s a lot to be upset about, but if it doesn’t make things better what’s the point? Extend your sense of self as widely as you can, and try to be patient and kind with the oneness you are a tiny part of. It is so easy to get caught up in empty struggle for struggle’s sake. Always act for love, never from fear. Move towards what you want rather than just away from what you don’t. And no matter who you are, know that I love you and want you to be happy :)

“you find what you look for”

“all a pissing contest gets you is covered in piss”

“petty sure” is right, try another round of edits if you really can’t find anything better to do. The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting hopefully there’s a friend nearby to log me off. Need to quit engaging with you before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone. Zero beef with the guy I was actually talking to, but you kinda suck

I guess I’m just a little more pessimistic at this point, don’t actually know the specifics of their financials but assumed github had been operating at a loss the whole time. That’s pretty typical for startup stuff in general and especially so for “free” services, if it seems too good to be true it probably is type thing. I see forgejo’s transparency and ideological commitment to open source as a defense against that type of behaviour cropping up in the future, hence “feature not bug”. Like you said, it’d be trivial to host your private repositories elsewhere or for someone to spin up their own paid instance for commercial use. I’d be a little suspicious of what was keeping the lights on if someone directly replicated github’s model because, well… look how it’s going!

Pretty sure I was having a normal conversation with someone and you splashed in to call me out for something without a whole lot of thought. There’s no “threat”, none of this is that serious, I wish you peace and introspection

Someone might spin that up, but it feels unlikely. Github was always kinda subsidized as a power play on MS’s part, and now that it’s well established enough they’re squeezing it for ROI. An instance that doesn’t need your donations still needs resources to perpetuate itself from somewhere, I’d personally rather depend on infrastructure that was transparent about that (whether paid or donation based) than be treated as the product

My brother in christ that’s the exact line I was referring to, what else in the wide world of reading comprehension do you think I was talking about?
