Switzerland is beautiful, but I have never met a more insular/racist group of people in my travels than in the swiss countryside. Skin colour and language can match, but if your accent is off you might be labelled a dirty foreigner and be treated accordingly.

But that pain was once. And then you shoved that config into your dotfile svn and never did it again. Mine has followed me since like 2010.

(This is not me taking part in the wl/X11 argument. I am just one of those multi-window gimp nerds)

Agreed.

You’re right. I should have said ‘akin to slavery’.

No gods. No masters.

Slavery is wrong. Forced service is slavery.

just as a counterpoint, I live in the forest and it would take a very, very serious problem for me to even consider moving to a small town. nonetheless a city.

we lived in a bunch of different countries and a bunch of different cities over the last 15 years and I intended to never live in another city again.

having the forest friends follow me around as I do morning chores is how life was meant to be. if I could just find a way to stretch that into my whole day I’d be the happiest man on Earth.

The problem with this is that a lot of these people have been shitting on their neighbors and their entire neighborhoods for decades because they think they are the special snowflake who can survive anything by themselves and don’t need any community.

When those fucks are also broke and they come asking for help a lot of us are going to tell them to get fucked.

Those of us who’ve been building intentional communities and support systems will be a little better off, but we’re going to be wasting a lot of time trying to fight off raiders from the aforementioned group above. thankfully they’ll probably be coming single file because they won’t help each other either.

This is a take. Not a good take. But a take nonetheless.

[Edit to add - Do you just ignore what people say to you, or ask you, and toss out more bullshit in meatspace conversations? Or is that just how it works for you online?]

You JUST commented that we could see how genx is the same as boomers by looking at their track record when they take power.

Then you state that genx never took power, and are insignificant.

???

When did genx assume power?

last I looked most politicians are still white-haired boomers.

just wait till you learn about how accurate hot desking software is.

Jesus Christ, if you didn’t think your company knew if you were in one building or another before today, you’re a fucking idiot.

Are you fucking high? His suicide note spefically calls out capitalism and its impact on making art.

I know this was aimed at someone else. But my response is “Every day.” What is your follow-up question?

I spent a lot of time in the forest. So yes.

The point is that they are doing it purely to be annoying at this point. They have been shown many times, by people who actually work in the model training space, that their stated purpose is not achieving what they want.

if your idea of fun is making it harder for other people to read your posts for no reason other than annoying them.

it made sense at first if they actually believed that this was going to do anything to an AI scraper. But they obviously know by now that that’s not the case.

Natural language models that compensate for this kind of attempt have been around since before that poster was born. It is silly vanity “hey look, people recognize me”. Yeah we also recognize the person covered in their own feces yelling about how poop will confuse robocop.

This person has been informed that the character is worthless at its stated goal of being AI poison. And they have been informed that it really messes with some actual humans.

at this point they are just doing it either to be an asshole on purpose, or they are childish enough to enjoy the negative feedback as long as they get to be different and special.
