I know how you feel. I often find myself typing :w into notepad/word at work to save something. Or when I log into a machine that doesn’t have the vim extension in vscode I constantly type /something to search, only to realize that I actually wrote that in the file. Then using ‘u’ to undo just adds more characters and people look at me like I’m on some drugs. Just embrace it!

You might be thinking of this:

Where he mentioned that the desktop is unique in that it has to support thousands of different devices for all kinds of people, and that most people don’t really care what their computer is running as long as it works.
I actually like the idea of being able to see how many upvotes/downvotes came from specific instances much more than seeing the actual users. It would cover some of the positives mentioned in the github discussion:
-Could help fight bot and multiple-account voting (if we assume that people who make multiple accounts do it on the same instance)
-Could help identify voting-patterns from specific servers (obviously)
And then if something looks suspicious, the admins can already see who voted, so they could check out whether some user is abusing the mechanics.
I find that this approach might be worth talking about, but making user votes visible to all seems very unnecessary.
Yeah, but it doesn’t really help that this is a community “Fuck AI” made as “A place for all those who loathe machine-learning…”. It’s like saying “I loathe Dijsktra’s algorithm”. The term machine learning has been used since at least the 50’s and it involves a lot of elegant mathematics which all essentially just try to perform optimizations of various functions in various ways. And yet, at least in places I’m exposed to, people constantly present any instance of machine learning as useless, morally wrong, theft, ineffective compared to “traditional methods” and so on, to the point where I feel uneasy telling people that I’m doing research in that area, since there’s so much hate towards the entire field, not just LLMs. It might be because of them, sure, but in my experience, the popular hating of AI is not limited to ChatGPT, corporations and the like.
In what way? I use it from time to time to get movies and series. Is there any downside compared to other methods?
Genuine question, I’m not too familiar with the pirate world beyond pirate bay.
That part is actually adressed in the solarpunk manifesto:
The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction.
I still remember when I tried to run a binary on a different architecture and got the message: “Bad elf magic”
Same, just created an account on metapixl.com even though I never used Instagram before
