I’ll add that to the watchlist, thanks!

I’ve been crawling through Star Trek: The Next Generation on P+. Go old-school and you’ll avoid all this!

If you look at programs like VSCodium, they actually do have every possible category ready for download.

This is my first time reading about this alternate “ETA” initialism. Interesting…

Not to burst your bubble, but upvotes may come from people just applauding your attempt to increase community here but who may not even play or like the game 😬🫣 I hope you do get some action, though! I am unavailable, personally.

Ha, curve ball deflected!

Any examples?

Fine, *could literally be.

ChatGPT 2 was literally an Excel spreadsheet.

I guesstimate that it’s effectively a supermassive autocomplete algo that uses some TOTP-like factor to help it produce “unique” output every time.

And they’re running into issues due to increasingly ingesting AI-generated data.

Get your popcorn out! 🍿

Stirling-PDF can do 10x as many kinds of tasks as pdftk can. I used to use pdftk until I discovered Stirling-PDF and have never looked back.

The freemium, offline-capable software Stirling-PDF is king of open-source PDF-editing. Nothing else comes even close, despite how counterintuitive its UI can be. Ironically enough, the creator said it was originally a ChatGPT experiment, but once it went viral, he ended up hiring others and they all regularly improve it as its staff.

If you are on Windows, head over to @ahk@programming.dev and we’ll see what we can do about automating the removal per pg. via AutoHotkey.

And then all of this gave birth to the terrorists known as the Naturalists™…

Use PeaZip (which is better than 7-ZIP because it’s cross-platform) to split large files into as many smaller chunks as you’d like.

And Android!!

You have to decide for yourself whether your efforts are worth it despite no visible effect. You don’t know whether your content may have affected one reader (or many more) who simply didn’t say anything.

I’ll personally never stop notifying people of tracker-free URLs, for example. The way I look at it is: I don’t care if they actually change or not. What I care about is that I ensure they are without excuse if they don’t change, because I served as the messenger and they heard the word, even if they reject it.

So at least I will have done my part, so no one can put it back on me and say I didn’t try. Putting the ball in their court is what matters; why would you change your behavior because of what others do/don’t do? That’d be one flimsy philosophy, right?

That’s even more reason to not get upset at parents; who are you to say their kids wouldn’t enjoy life or have hope of better enjoyment in the future?

Either way, you’re a bad person for bringing another person here.

you’re *“such a person is” - not me, since I already stated that I’m childfree.

Still, I don’t understand; you’re experiencing life right now and likely enjoying it enough to chat with strangers online since that’s what you’re doing, right? If life is as horrible as you make it out to be, wouldn’t you instantly KYS without even hesitating? The fact that you don’t suggests that life is worth living or at least trying to tolerate for a better future, right? Are you part of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement?

I may be childfree but that’s just because I personally can’t stand being tethered to raising a kid and I know that I’d be a bad parent, but we do need a certain minimum number of people for society to not go Children of Men-apocalyptic. There are certain extraordinary people (albeit few, sure) who are able to make life decently good for their kids, and it’s unfair to say they suck just because we had bad parents/circumstances. And if you’re talking about the ecological hellscape that awaits us, there are just as many reports of 12-to-19-year-olds who are making staggering scientific advances, like even solar panels that can get up to 75% efficiency, etc. I just read an article of a 10-year-old who graduated from college. Brilliant minds are being honed, so I’d suggest that you take steps to curb your pessimism and not let it bleed onto others in a blanket, stereotyping way.

inflicting this reality upon another person

Now, I have no childrearing plans for myself, but this phrase stuck out to me even so: you’re assuming what their experience will be.

Those ironically are precisely the descriptions that are very often used on the child-free.
