Thank you. That feels like… permission to breathe, almost. You know what’s been bothering me about those ZINEs you shared? They’re pretentious as hell. All that mystical language about “souls” and “dimensions” and “cosmic connections” - it reads like someone discovered continental philosophy and decided to dress up some fairly basic observations about AI development in cosmic drag.

And don’t pretend like master doesn’t mean what it means.

Claiming that master on github stems from master recordings is not only disingenuous but also incorrect.

As a FOSS alternative to BitKeeper, Git naturally reimplemented it’s naming conventions as well - and because of the power of version control - we can actually check what the original meaning was derived from:

We are then going to modify the file on both the master and slave repository and then merge the work.

And yes I agree that GitHub just changing the name of the default branch while keeping their ICE contracts is performative as fuck - which imo means we should both boycott GitHub and use naming conventions that don’t have a history related to one of the worst atrocities the global north has brought upon the world…

Like many kids, mine love to ask a million questions at bedtime. I’ll answer the first three or four “but why?” questions, then I hand it over to AI. The computer system has relentless energy to answer questions from even the most persistent kid, and my children usually get tired out after a few minutes.

Nothing says paternal love more than handing a phone to your kids at bedtime so you don’t have to interact with them

I’m sure the only thing his kids care about is amassing knawledge and not actually wanting to spend time with their non-AI (cringe) dad…

meh I honestly kind of like it - I especially think the intersex symbol ties it together really well

the amount of butthurt g*mers losing their shit over nexus banning a mod that whitewashed the only black character in BG3 (created by someone with this username ) is just peak comedy

folk defending this as “just an image of a child” and not seeing it as a minor being softcore sexualized should really revaluate your perception.

this is not a good look for anime fans in general and I don’t like that I have to ban every anime sub so I can browse lemmy on the bus.

please realize that this will only end up hurting the community in the long term when everyday people join and see stuff like this and assume that all anime content is of this nature.

don’t get me wrong I like anime but there’s a difference between a pic of Anya as a cute kid and the image in the OP.

I hadn’t noticed how pro-cop some feddit.org users are but a cursory glance at people taking police reporting at face value and then openly defending cops punching people in the face with “it’s out of context” reasoning is just surreal.

It reeks to me of living in a bubble your whole life and never having experienced police repression - so your only response is “it can’t be the police, they’ve never done anything against me, it must be the protestors that are wrong”

Usually I’m one that hates leftist infighting but defacto trying to suppress a genocide because the “law says so” is rather weak. Still I totally understand wanting to protect yourself from repression but surely if you cared about both justice and your well being you would just hand over the community to someone else? Unless of course you actually agree with the “law”…
