You should take your own advice.

Sadly the prevailing opinion seems to be that the most strict option (all rights reserved) doesn’t protect you from LLMs.

Further, if you get code into the kernel, anyone who breaks it needs to fix it. So it seems to me it’s only a problem if you’re trying to do something like maintain a proprietary driver without putting it into the kernel? Or something to that effect?

This but unironically. The humor of this image, to me, is the juxtaposition of the character in the pose. But it’s actually a pretty flattering pic.

My wife is ace. They’re still good with the wands.

I hate cliffhangers. Especially since new seasons aren’t guaranteed.

I’ve trained myself not to laugh or take pleasure from other people’s pain or discomfort. See it as an indication of NPC.

But say shit like

I deemed him too small to bother with. He had no where to retreat to. I’m leering over him, he’s sitting. I could use overhead metal railing to brace against while kicking his head in. He was in a disadvantaged defensive position. I choose to pick my battles. To my knowledge to this day he doesn’t have to eat thru a straw.

Definitely feels like you’re getting pleasure from the idea of that person’s pain and discomfort.

Read this in bed after waking up from sleeping in a big comfy bathrobe.

I am obligated to comment on this due to my profile picture. 💜

That’s me!

I used to had linux mint in an old computer and for some reason the wifi didn’t work.

To me this implies it isn’t their primary computer. It’s not “manipulating and humiliating” someone else. It’s just saying, “you’ve been saying you’d fix this but it hasn’t worked, I need to use this computer for something.”

And no need to feel sorry for my wife. We’ve been together over half our lives, married for over a decade, and extremely happy with each other. My wife has done things like this to me. It’s not toxic or manipulative. Sometimes I overestimate my own skills and/or get distracted with other things.

Why? Imagine your house’s door doesn’t work so you have to make a long trip through the back. You keep asking your partner to fix it. They insist they’ll get the door working. Either they can’t or don’t, doesn’t matter, but you have the money and are willing to pay for someone to fix it. Your partner insists they can fix it. I think it’s reasonable to say something like “if it’s not fixed in two weeks I’m paying someone to fix it.”

I have empathy. I am not trolling. Just having a discussion online. Tone doesn’t always come across well oger text. Just thought it was important to share that I really really don’t think people who say things like this are saying empathy is bad.

And I’ve met plenty of people who can pick up on people’s moods and know that people who mock others’ misfortunes are cruel without calling themselves empaths.

For what it’s worth, that’s essentially how Wikipedia describes it:

Empath (/ˈɛmpæθ/; from Ancient Greek ἐμπάθεια (empátheia) ‘passion’) is a term for people who are claimed to have a higher than usual level of empathy.

In parapsychology, the mechanism for being an empath is said to be psychic channeling; psychics and mediums say that they channel the emotional states and experiences of other living beings, or the spirits of dead people, in the form of “emotional resonance.” Studies of such claims have found them to be the result of mundane empathy and charisma, with no actual supernatural capabilities involved.

And I’m saying that’s not what I typically think people mean when they say they’re an empath. I mean they mean something more than that.

It’s so infuriating to me that there isn’t a way to just encrypt traffic without verifying it’s part of a chain. By all means, give a nag warning in browsers, but ugh, I think that ship has long since sailed. Plus, realistically, you’d need just as many scary warnings to deter the average user that they might be getting MITMed.

It’s always been my understanding that the term empath implies some sort of higher sense that not everyone is capable of. Similar to some extra sensory ability. Though I may be incorrect. I’ve never read anything jabbing at “empaths” as jabs at empathy as a concept.

Edit: Phone autocorrected “empaths” to “empathy”, oops.

Can you not issue your own certificate? I guess it depends on how many devices and what types of devices need to connect. It’s be a one time effort per device (importing your own self signed cert) versus one time effort per service per X days.

The article is from December 2nd, though maybe the conference is from much earlier, so barring that… The fucking UN said on September 16th that “Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip.” It’s absolutely infuriating that people are still viewing this as something controversial or debatable. I was naively hoping that once the UN used the big G word (genocide) that more moderate politicians (being incredibly generous calling them moderate) would finally start acting like it’s a genocide.
