I’m a lonely smut writer in Portugal! Feel free to say hello! :3
It’s because they don’t want any candidates that want to make actual changes, they want to perpetuate the status quo. So radicals get filtered and slandered until no one is left who can fight back. The only time someone else gets through is when they can capture enough public attention that the Dems can’t smear them out of the running.
Or that’s what it looks like from the outside. I haven’t lived in the US in years, so maybe I’m way off nowadays.
Alien Isolation is one of the few games that gave me legitimate anxiety to play. I wouldn’t say I was scared necessarily like the feeling you might get playing some other horror games in the dark, but like a genuinely stressful experience. They nailed the inevitability of conflict with the alien.
Looking forward to seeing how they’ve done with an open area version of this experience given how the tight spaces in the space station contributed so much to the experience of the first game.
Holy fuck, me too! Meet in the barn after horse-work or whatever? :3
You can disapprove of something and not “cry” about it. Do you cry every time you dislike something?
I will always “haha, so true!” this meme until I make the mistake of going to bed slightly early or waking up slightly late and now for the next three days I’m gonna wake up to my cat hovering over my face to see if we’re making another routine change or if food still happens when the alarm goes off.
I mean, ya gotta make amends. Give healthy food on a schedule so they know you’re committed. Perhaps leave a kindly note with a shiny bead.
Saving this for when I finally make the leap to Graphene. Thanks for the list!
I have exactly the opposite problem 😭
I don’t know if it’s unintended consequences or not caring about the consequences. The people responsible for this are richer than god as a result and they simply do not care what happens to anyone else.
A cute anime girl dealing drugs in Brazil sounds pretty dope.
I just want one minion to say fuck right in the middle somewhere. No preamble. No explanation. Just pops out.
Having lived in Florida, it’s worth the risk.
Hahaha, that IS how girls take it when they’re alone. What are the 6 desktop environments? I MUST try them!
I’m a tiny bit confused as to what this actually is. I don’t use the Codex/ClaudeCode/Cursor stuff, but it seems like this is just an interface for connecting those services, isn’t it? It doesn’t seem like that actually protects your data at all.
Can anyone help explain it a bit?
Edit: I realized I kinda glossed over all the stuff that seemed to be included in this, I more meant the start where he talked about this being privacy centric. Is he just trying to make self-hosting less painful?
The EU’s payment processors cannot come fast enough.
I don’t know that I would consider myself a furry, but I will forever and ever be grateful to the furry community for making porn and embracing diversity.
I grew up in a hyper-zealous Christian household—like the kind that buried guns in the woods for the coming race war. I was legitimately afraid when I realized I might not be cis and straight. I couldn’t even let myself look at anything other than lesbian porn because I was worried I’d find something out and be in like actual danger.
And that’s when I discovered furry porn. In that really weird place in my life I rationalized it as, “Well this isn’t gay because they’re not real and also it’s like anthro stuff. This doesn’t threaten my cis hetero masculinity at all!” Furries are also where I first learned about HRT and that bisexuality wasn’t just a punchline in 2000’s comedies.
I know that’s not like the ideal path to self-actualization or whatever, but it was an outlet for me to think about myself despite all the indoctrination and self-hatred and fear and everything else pre-teen me struggled with and I don’t know that I would be as happy as I am today without having found their community.
This is perfect! I’m always having trouble making my computer cum, so this will be super useful, thanks!
I found this image helpful as well, for anyone else with a similar problem. The important bit is highlighted in red.
This is such a beautiful picture of a beautiful cat. 😻
I swapped off Windows to Mint at the start of the year but I’m looking for my next distro for my next system. So far I’m pretty set on CachyOS. Fingers crossed I get a similar experience.
Here’s the thing. We should absolutely not trust any companies with this much power about anything they say, buuuuuuut to play the devil’s advocate here, let’s pretend they are absolutely altruistic.
They are still a company and must compete. Their market edge isn’t dominant enough that they could really take any moral stand like “stop research and development” when there are three other companies who will gladly step into the market leader position, so even if they do believe their message, without any assurances that everyone will agree to pause, they’d just be letting someone else take over their spot for a moral stance for an arguably worse situation.
And realistically, if they weren’t in the lead, people would be saying “loser wants leaders to slow down lol” and if they’re in the lead people will say, “lol market leader wants competition to stop, I wonder why?”. There is really no position they can be in and make the claim without catching flak for it. A year or two ago Anthropic made a similar blog when they weren’t in such a dominant position and comments were exactly like that.
All that said, obviously they’re nearly a trillion dollar company and we shouldn’t take anything they say at face value, but I really do think the message here isn’t terrible (like the article says). We really should be slowing down and looking at the effects of AI. It has too much potential to fuck everything up to not think about it a bit, especially if recursive self-improvement is on the horizon.
