Piracy-Related Content on P.D: An Open Dialogue with Our Community
  • Honestly, it's a programming focused instance, so I'm not quite sure how piracy even fits into it.

    I think you and I have different visions of what the fediverse is. I don't view this account as a "programming account on a programming forum, so all things should be programming related" if that's what you are implying. I view instances as a comfortable home for my existence in the fediverse, where local communities may be programming related, but I still have access to the fediverse as a whole.

    Much like I chose the city I live in based on the communities and amenities I prefer most of the time, but I can still travel anywhere else in the world any time I choose.

    I'm against actual pirated content being federated here, but I would still like to see discussion about piracy if it is acceptable within the laws of @snowe's home country.

  • What is one thing you love & hate about ObsidianMD?
  • I love that I can dump all my knowledge there and have it be easily searchable on my PC, phone, etc. I love that I can take notes, attach PDFs and images, or make my own canvases and excalidraw diagrams. It's awesome and flexible.

    I hate that it's not FOSS. I appreciate that it's an open format (plaintext Markdown files) and prefer closed app and open data to the reverse (Joplin is open source, but mangles notes into a database). I'm strongly considering giving logseq a try, but some of my favorite obsidian features have become a crutch that I don't know if I want to live without.

  • Which actors you admire that you really wish not to have any scandals?
  • That's fair. Demi did mention consent in her lyrics. I interpreted that a bit differently (that she may have felt too young to fully understand consent, not that she felt she was violated without consent). But I see your point.

  • Which actors you admire that you really wish not to have any scandals?
  • Grooming and propriety are entirely different standards from rape. From what I gathered, they were claiming the former. Valderamma is being accused here of being a creepy sleazebag, not a criminal child rapist.

  • Where would one go to find a small, compact and yet, very dense rubber hammer?
  • Rubber and nylon are both soft and are less likely to damage whatever you are hammering, but rubber is even softer and bouncier than nylon. I would use rubber when pounding wooden pieces of furniture together, but nylon would work better for forming soft metal like jewelry. Other specialty hammers like brass and copper are non-sparking and non-magnetic for use around flammable gases and sensitive equipment. They continue up the hardness scale -- brass for softer applications and copper when you need more force. Finally, you have you traditional steel hammer that is usually made out of hardened steel and would really mess up that soft wood from earlier if you tried striking it directly.

  • Is chatgpt proof that standard tests are bad measures of intelligence
  • No. It may be proof that standardized tests are not useful measures of LLM intelligence, but human brains operate differently from LLMs, so these tests may still be very useful measures of human intelligence.

  • I'm glad everything worked out in the end. I hope snowe learned a couple of lessons from this. One about how to interact and respect the lived experiences of marginalized peoples, but also a lesson about not engaging with hexbear trolls in the first place.

  • A bride to be discovers a reality bending mistake in Apple's computational photography
  • You think that's absurd? Have you never gotten married? Wedding photos are extremely important and while "she almost vomited" may be hyperbole, I can definitely understand being very pissed off if that was the only version of the photo. Our wedding photographer whitened our teeth in our photos and we requested that they undo that so we look like ourselves. The sentiment was nice, but we didn't want that. I would have been pretty unhappy if they hadn't held onto the originals and were unable to revert our teeth back to their normal shades. Photos of our bridal showers and dress hunting were nearly as important as the wedding photos themselves. I can understand being upset with this undesired result.

  • I'm a gamedev!
  • I don't even know how to answer you because your argument is so fucking stupid. No, I don't think a fry cook is a gamedev, and I have literally never in my life heard a fry cook identify as such.

  • can I get a amen?
  • find it hard to believe that a newborn baby girl could have an overflowing-roast beef-looking vulva like that photo up there on the left.

    Yes, newborn babies have not yet gone through puberty, where hormones cause quite a bit of growth and change in our reproductive organs, so you are correct that you should not expect such large labia on a newborn baby.
