Uh, no. Maybe check the definition of a word before you accuse people of using it wrong?

Besides, there is literally no benefit to this kind of approach. The most popular use of a word is the definition of the word, not the other way around. And yes, this means it will change over time. So even if motor didn’t literally refer to a certain type of engine, the definition of the word motorcycle is not dependent on the definition of the word motor. Even if there was a contradiction between the definition of the two words that’s literally irrelevant. There’s no point getting all annoyed about it, that’s just how language works. But you will not help anything by trying to force people to change how they’re using a word. It’ll just cause confusion and make communication even less clear.

My first thought was, “oh fuck, Trump is gonna murder them”.

I really hope not, but I have no faith in my government anymore, so…

I should pay attention to usernames a bit more, lol.

I can tell you why you haven’t, though, cause it’s the same reason from our other thread: compassion.

But, I feel pretty safe saying we’re in agreement!

ICE may have already killed thousands last year.

ICE has quite likely already killed thousands last year, you mean. God it fucking sucks just typing that…

Your technique is irrelevant. That you had the compassion to stick with it is what matters.

I’m not trying to be an ass. Really. But to think that you have a universal technique to deprogram anyone is dangerously naive.

Yup. That young woman who had a seizure, was (supposedly) taken to hospital, then hasn’t been heard from since got to me. All of it is tragic and horrible, but of the recent cases, that one stands out for me, cause you just know she’s dead. And they won’t even fucking give the family any closure.

And let’s not forget the asinine claim about music composition. Yeah, this is a bullshit fluff piece to keep attention on AI.

Well, those fuckers captured the US government decades ago. Pretty much why the actual effect of actions taken by either party play out almost the same fucking way…

…a counterpoint that this is not necessarily bloat. It’s debatable that this is the right tool to have this feature…

That’s called bloat.

That’s it? That’s why you’re being such an arrogant prick?

Huh. You do you, I guess…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Facebook specifically was aware that teenage girls were especially harmed by their algorithms, so naturally, instead of reducing that harm, they leaned into it.

This i can get behind!

Sounds a lot like taking the role of Dungeon Master in a D&D game. Your goal is to provide a believable world and NOCs as a backdrop for your players to tell the stories of their characters adventures. For me, it was like having a whole fantasy world running in the back of my mind, and I’d often surprise myself with how that works would react to the heroes.

Who cares?

Awesome, that asks for the info. Gotta try this out later; I don’t even have a large library, but the renaming is so tedious! But clicking through to identify each file that Jellyfin didn’t automatically identify is worse…

Ugh. I was excited until I saw it’s for Windows. Doh!

Isn’t destroying the UN one of the states goals of Project 2025? Yeah, this debt ain’t being paid.

Right. Because that changes what, exactly? Israel’s influence on the US government is one of, if not the, primary cause of the current corruption.

Your idea smells like Zionist bullshit.

Not a lawyer, but when the corporation goes to trial instead of selling, that’s not a great sign.

So, my guess is either the defendants know they are probably going to win, or the penalty for losing is likely to be insignificant.

I agree, except that it’s the data broker corporations that are really behind this.
