Humanity thrives on revolutionary new ways of social organisation. This is the end stages of the current one that is about to eat itself. Nobody knows what comes next. My personal guess is that humanity will keep doing this cycle of improving itself and letting decadence and greed make revolution inevitable many many many times over. People in every epoch of history so far have proclaimed it to be the last and yet here we are. For the good and the bad, it's all part of the biological programming that makes humanity what it is.

Something something misinterpretation of Schroedinger's box.

There are terrible people everywhere and in particular everywhere online.

This is why I would never be bothered moderating and I am reluctant to release anything to the public of what I do for my own enjoyment. Cheers to moderators and people that post their art and comics and other stuff online.

Dude, this is exactly what you are doing. You have wandered into the fediverse that welcomes everybody and you are upset that not everybody agrees with you on everything and that justifies you being a dick. You are exactly the thing you are hating on in your head canon self righteous hero narrative.

Take this moment to reflect on your first instinctual mental response. Is it "but that's because I'm right"? Think about this and what it implies.

White supremacist narcissist cry-baby has his people skew the AI chat bot bias from factual to fit his reality tunnel and now it is a nazi bot.

Shocker, isn't it.

If you think so and that this is important, maybe you could be the one that makes it happen. Start a project and gather like-minded people. That is how Linux, FOSS and community driven efforts operate. It's useless to complain that nobody else makes the effort if you have the capabilities but can't be arsed making an attempt yourself.

YouTube keeps showing me offers to give me two months premium for free, but when I click it they offer only one.

I'm pretty sure this is illegal in the EU but I can't be bothered so I stick with the ad blocker and reset the cookies every once in a while.

There is no authority delegating responsibilities of writing tutorials for Linux. It is the responsibility of nobody and everybody. If you can't find one for your problem, write it yourself when you have figured it out.

For every change there is an angry Linux user. Even when it is easily disabled and never a problem again.

On the flip side - how often do you install new programs so this becomes an annoyance in the first place?

I install something new maybe once a month or less for desktop use. I have not even noticed this blip.

Somewhat more often in and for terminal use.

Guess why

The clearing where we bury the unbelievers and let the forest thrive on the nutrients released from their rotting carcasses.

Well, that's what we do here at least.

What to do when they keep barking at the neighbours?

How much work are the in-laws?

I'm thinking it's like ads. Some people see them, read them, click the links. Others recognize by glance and filter them out without bothering to process.

Social media, and internet in general, has always been a wild mix of top notch content and bottom of the barrel garbage sharing screen estate.

Hey OP, you were released today with performance gains!

Ha, gotchem. The drive by compliment strikes again.

The time when people were doing strange and funny websites by cut and paste design on Geocities and Angelfire, new music was found on MySpace, vinyl rips of rare obscurities were posted on blogs you follow in Reader and expanding your music catalogue was amazing on SoulSeek.

I'm quite happy that movie distribution have evolved beyond blocky 1-2CD DivX;-) though.

I trim my adult dogs nails when I hear them clatter. Sometimes twice in a month, sometimes not because he wears them down pretty well all by himself.

I think LLMs and generative AIs are a really interesting technology with many potential applications in the future and even today.

But it is ridiculous how tech bros and marketing are pushing and overselling the capabilities of a technology that is yet in its early childhood. Infancy is already past as it knows basic motor functions.

And it is m funny when these companies publish their ambitious attempts and hilarious failures like this article right here. It reminds me of a more funny and diverse and geeky internet when nerds got money from investors to do whatever with a domain name. Maybe it is still there, behind the wall of marketing execs.
