“Hey everyone on this forum, let’s all dox this person and send anonymous hate mail to their actual home.”

I wonder if newer AI models are going to have to learn what “AI Generated” is supposed to look like, and how ironic it would be it they had to output worse quality in order for people to accept it was AI generated. Maybe “Gen[1/2/3/4]_AI” would be better, like how we have console generations and stuff.

…squeeze your meat?

I guess that does make me happy.

Once you free your mind of proprietary sexuality…

Meanwhile, my gay ass is just sitting here thinking about a chubby bearded nerd with a kind face, and how nice it would be to cuddle together under a blanket and watch an underpowered laptop compile Gentoo.

Oh, and give me a cat to pet too.

Repeat after me kids. It’s not an “oversight”, or “mistake”, or “bug”, or “misunderstanding”…

HAPPENING

It sounds more like “Oh no, someone took your files? Well, you should upload everything you have to our server. Include anything we, I mean they, might have missed the first time. We’ll keep it safe. You can totally trust us not to send your data to anyone, just like we recently got caught doing…again.”

You make it sound like the event ends in an orgy.

My reading of that was “climate change will kill most of our species in the long term if we don’t take it seriously, so that’s also something very important to track and belongs on the same page as wars.”.

I try to avoid being conspiracy minded, but I can’t help but wonder why. Does the US have some sort of wartime ally obligation or something? Is there a nuclear risk or treat to the other side winning? What is going on?

We might never know.

And for the record, you can criticize a political party or government without thinking the citizens or their cultural identities are bad. It’s maddening that people have to be reminded of this. My country does bad shit, but I don’t think every person I meet is evil.

I never cared for the guy, but I voted for him because it clearly was the better choice at time. It might be all for popularity, but that doesn’t change the fact that his administration has been making some good strides he toward fixing our broken system.

I’ll take good things done with ulterior motives over bad things done for their own sake, every day.

I agree with what I saw someone else post. They want people to quit. Blindly forcing RTO is a way to bully employees without being legally "hostile”.

If you quit, you can’t draw unemployment.

The company’s HR apparently still has to approve it even if you are eligible, but it’s at least potentially an option.

What is a “tankie”? I’ve never heard of that before.

I’m autistic. I always apparently seem weird to people. That means any time I use a self checkout, the minders stare at me because they think I’m about to steal something. It makes me nervous, and I start getting uncomfortable and self conscious, which I’m sure makes me seem even more suspicious. And either security or the automated system have triggered the “please wait for an associate” so many times. But they always look at the video and tell me “Sorry, this thing is just sensitive/weird/whatever excuse.”, then leave me alone.

I’m not going to call it discriminatory, because I don’t think it is? But it feels like I have to be on my best behavior or I’ll get arrested because I was so focused on trying to pass as “normal” that I missed scanning a tomato. And for the record, I’ve never stolen anything, even when I was low on food and really needed some stuff I couldn’t afford. Hell, I have forgotten to scan something once and went back in to pay for it.

Self checkout sucks, but it’s normally still better than waiting in line and interacting face to face with a cashier.

Am missing something about my chosen-on-a-whim instance?

“I’m not wrong, it’s everyone else’s fault for not seeing how great I am.”

You have me curious.

I only have Linux on my machine, and have been an advocate for FOSS for many years. But even then I have to begrudgingly admit Windows does some things better. I don’t see why anyone would get all bent out of shape about that. Yeah, evil corporation and massive privacy issues, but that doesn’t change its technical merits.

What was it that people got upset over if you don’t mind sharing?

Or just refuse to install it.

It also tried to save space with auto hiding the sidebar and using global menus built into the panel, instead of having a panel and then a titlebar.

Dude shares the name of an ex. The headline threw me for a loop.
