I had a fess published a few years ago about how I couldn't connect with my lifelong pals cos all they wanted to do was booze and take coke. I told them how I felt, turned out they thought the same and now we climb Munro's on Sundays. Lads, talk to your pals.

@LoganFive lol

@martinvermeer @LaNaehForaday It's not a coincidence. Zionism in the late 19th/early 20th century Austro-Hungarian empire was just one of a ferment of ethno-nationalist movements: it relied on the same axioms as its peers, only applying to Jews as opposed to Czechs, Hungarians, etc, and bolted it on top of the crass 19th century imperialist colonialism of the European empires. There was a rival non-colonialist Jewish movement—the Bund—but Hitler murdered them because they didn't flee in time.

Life advice:

Marry someone who loves you as faithfully as Trump loves Putin.

Google demands every developer's identity in the name of security. Yet more than 50 Play Store apps hiding malware were installed 2.3 million times¹. Meanwhile, #FDroid, which builds every app from source and rejects black boxes, is under threat. This is not about security, it is about control. That is why I don't want to support this joke.

Possible jiu-jitsu move: ask other LLMs to check it. If even one of them says "nope", then you can say "well, this LLM says that LLM is wrong" -- which means that one or the other of them got it wrong, which should help break the whole "LLMs are machines, and machines are perfect... are perfect... are perfect..." spell.

In Australia on an academic exchange program, was instructed to keep the snakes away from the house by opening the back door at 6am and clapping loudly six times while yelling. I complied diligently. A week later, a neighbour informed me I'd been pranked.

@randahl I find it humorous that it's named after Ronald Reagan.

@afewbugs wait, what was the context? I need to know more!

Like, ask anyone who has spent any time in Detroit "does this woman come from where you come from" and they'll tell ya. We are a unique people, even in the larger midwest they talk about "Detroit cray"

A circus clown says to call AI "super intelligence," and the CEO of Microsoft obeys. My. Fucking. God. What a snivelling coward. https://x.com/satyanadella/status/2108931348857827686

@inquiline Quick, tell me a joke about time!

(which is the prompt I use when testing local models)

@randahl

But of course only a fool would believe that...

Ehhh... wait...

@farah No you are so nice and kind! I'm not crying youre crying

J'ai écouté trop de balados et maintenant je lis des textes que *j'ai* écrit avec l'accent québécois dans ma tête 🤷‍♀️

@RLetot @olm_e il a encore dit récemment qu'il enviait la façon de Trump de diriger (par décrets présidentiels) plutôt que devoir s'encombrer de négociations avec d'autres acteurs. Enough said

Aight that little prick DID say one thing that actually irritated me:

he called me a Canadian.

Brey, I'm 313 till I die. We don't build em like this anywhere but Zombieland.

The Trump family is turning the presidency into a corrupt family business, and the names, the deals, and the money trail are all worth knowing. So is the roadmap for dismantling it. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-family-corruption-autocracy
