And how do you think you found those (simplifying) channels to subscribe to? How do you think your friends and other influencers you like found the channels they recommended to you? Hell, what do you think informs what is and isn’t said in those (again, simplifying) videos?

No. They don’t need to generate data to train on data. There is PLENTY of white supremacist hate shit out there.

The issue is one of labeling and weighting. Which is a pretty solved problem. It isn’t 100% solved and there will be isolated cases but “grok” breaks under even the most cursory of poking.

Don’t believe me? Go look at the crowd who can convert any image or text generating model into porn/smut/liveleak in nothing flat. Or, for a less horrifying version of that, how concepts like RAG and the like to take generalized models and heavily weight them toward what you actually care about.

Nah. This, like most things musk, just highlights how grossly incompetent basically all of his companies are. Even spacex mostly just coasts on being the only ones allowed to work on stuff (RIP NASA and, to a lesser extent, JPL) and then poaching the talent from everyone else to keep them from showing that.

While I do hope this leads to a pushback on “I just put all our corporate secrets into chatgpt”:

In the before times, people got their answers from stack overflow… or fricking youtube. And those are also wrong VERY VERY VERY often. Which is one of the biggest problems. The illegally scraped training data is from humans and humans are stupid.

Its not just fascists.

It is everyone. The Algorithm means we live in content bubbles 24/7. Everything you watch either reinforces your world view or gradually shifts you toward your favorite influencer’s. That is why a disagreement isn’t “I think you are wrong”. It is always “you are being disingenuous” or “you are presenting your opinions as fact”. Because you aren’t just saying they are wrong. You are saying their very world is wrong.

Because for privileged people it is just “oh ha ha, that person is an asshole”

For a lot of folk? It is a sign that someone actively wants you dead or enslaved and doesn’t care who knows it.

Or, in this case, it shows that they care so little about the actual victims that they think it is Ironic to wear a nazi uniform around so long as they flip the skulls upside down.

Even funnier. Now the genocidal bastards will feel real awkward when they don’t get the cheers they expected!

Still a privileged dipshit

Yeah. It is why I hate all kinds of bait like this.

Ha ha. You are on edge because people actively want to murder you for not being a human and you judged me when actually I am a great guy. Ha ha. That’ll teach you to judge a book by its cover!

Like… 80/20 this is very much a “I hate all the division and we should all get along” kind of asshole.

If your goal is to actually make a point or argument: make it. Don’t just tell people to read a manifesto until they agree with you.

I mean… that is kind of what happens with a lot of these projects.

As they get larger you get more and more of those obnoxious jerks who will close ANY issue if it even slightly is related to something in the past or isn’t formatted correctly and so forth.

Personally? I am a firm believer in working with (actual) users to make things better. But I have definitely had weeks where it is just “Yup. We got mentioned by Youtuber X again” and we more or less ignore any issue not made by an established contributor.

Partially addressed in the other branch but:

Issues from people who can’t even be bothered to make a burner account are almost never useful. And issue tracking that is not fed directly to passionate people who care about maintaining a project is worse than worthless.

That’s what signed commits are for

Then it is a good thing I addressed the existence of those. And… those also more or less need a semi-centralized source of truth that is independent of gitlab/hub/whatever.

Also, pull/merge requests and issues are sent to the origin instance, just like in the fediverse

So everything would still happen on the single source of truth for an a project? But you can have an account on whatever service you want?

Homie? You just described oauth.

As one of the core contributors for even a moderately sized project on Github: HELL NO.

We already get more than enough drive by spam from everyone who just makes an account to complain that our code doesn’t do something we never said it did. And if they don’t even have to do that? Ugh.

I do firmly believe that more projects need to understand the implications of where they host something (similar to the IOS app that alerts you if ICE is in your area). But if someone can’t be bothered to even use a throaway protonmail address to file a bug report or feature request? Quite frankly, what they have to say wouldn’t have been worth our limited time anyway.

For those who were out of the loop:

What exactly is the idea of federated gitlab? Git is already inherently distributed and automagically mirroring to other remotes is generally like three lines in any CI syntax (and there is probably a precommit hook for it too).

Also: I can see a LOT of security issues with not having a centralized source of truth on what the commit hashes should be and so forth. is fedgit dot zip the source of truth for this app or fedgit dot ml or fedgit dot ca? Theoretically that is where signing comes into play but that gets back to: What advantage does a “fediverse” frontend have?

What you are describing is less a throuple and more just bog standard Ethical Non-Monogamy with shades of Polygamy. It would be your wife with multiple partners and you making the proverbial (sometimes literal) sandwich.

I emphasize that because there is a lot of media and societal pressure on all sides. ENM has increasingly become divided on gender lines with (cishet) men having been taught by the tates and the manosphere that it is taking THEIR women away from them and ruining THEIR women forever and so forth. Whereas women (and the lgbtq community) have almost flocked to it in a similar manner to “free love” back in the day as there is an increasing push to not actually have kids… at which point monogamous sex starts to make a lot less sense. Also it is a “good” way to justify splitting a two bedroom apartment’s rent six ways.

Whereas throuples are often romanticized. In large part because people watched/read the trainwreck that was Twilight and all came to the realization that “she got two hands…”.

At the end of the day? Every person and every relationship is different and it is really on you, your partner, and your friend to decide what works for you.

For what its worth? Some very good friends of mine are in an ENM relationship and I’ve had a relationship in the past where we also weren’t exclusive sexually. But the ground rule we, and they, use is that they have one emotional partner. Sex is fun and harmless (if you use protection). I broke up with my ex but for completely unrelated reasons and said friends are perfectly happy as far as I can tell. Emotional bonds are where things get REALLY messy. I’ve always avoided it but every couple I’ve known that tried it fell apart within a year or two. Whether that is good or bad really depends on your life experiences and where you draw the line on “save the relationship” and “live your lives”.

So, personally? If you and your partner want to try this I would suggest NOT banging the dude you clearly both already have emotional connections with. But, again, you do you.

I don’t use jellyfin but my general approach is either:

1. Expose it over a VPN only. I usually use Tailscale for this so that I can expose individual machines but you do you
2. Cloudflare tunnel that exposes a single port on a single internal machine to a subdomain I own

There are obviously ways to do this all on your own but… if you are asking this question you probably want to use one of those to roll it. Because you can leave yourself ridiculously vulnerable if you do it yourself.

You uh… don’t need to tell people stuff like that.

I mean… I have seen some REALLY REALLY stupid drivers so I could totally see multiple people thinking they found a short cut or not realizing the road they are supposed to be on is 20 feet to the left and there is a reason their phone is losing its shit all while their suspension is getting destroyed.

But yeah. It is the standard tesla corp MO. They detect a dangerous situation and disable all the “self driving”. Obviously because it is up to the driver to handle it and not because they want the legal protection to say it wasn’t their fault.

Hey now. We didn’t start THIS war. Israel did. We just immediately rubbed one out and then gleefully joined in.

So… most of the old memes will probably still work.

And if you live as close to a Best Buy as it sounds, both would likely just be same day delivery on their end. Just a question of when they box up your order.

For anything but same day? It isn’t

For a same day delivery? It is the cheapest courier service out there since the gig economy is all about pushing every expense onto the workers.

As if I weren’t already on enough watch lists:

Consumer drones aren’t conducive to “a 9-11”. They just can’t carry enough explosives. A terrorist attack using drones will be isolated attacks on public gatherings and likely not even put a dent in the M-4 tax we pay every fucking day.

Also: Defense against drones actually isn’t all that hard from a military and hardpoint standpoint and mostly uses existing tech. The same mic arrays that installations use to triangulate gunfire? Picking up drone motors is of comparable difficulty and gives a pretty fast angle to point the baby phalanx (or net guns) at. Would be HORRIBLE in an area dense with civilians but would protect anything that “we” actually care about (military resources and whichever politicians trump likes this week). Chaining the net gun/tiny gatling gun to the sensors with a human in the loop so it doesn’t violate any treaties covers that.

The reason they are so ridiculously effective in Ukraine are because Russians have horrifically bad opsec and tend to leave armored vehicle hatches open (even at bases) and have sprawling unfortified trench lines that are only designed to keep infantry out.
