Tomato, tomato. These are just capitalist words for a competitive system with just enough leeway to keep you playing. Since it has been failing recently and people are organizing too much, they need their fascist hammer from the capitalist toolbox. Its very obvious once someone abandons the decoration.

There is no way to convince a person who is raised in a capitalist system why “arbitrary censorship” is way better than “democracy” where all significant media is capitalist owned. The only difference is that one is honest, the other isnt. If you come to my house, I will absolutely arbitrarily censor you if I dont like what you’re saying. Thats called personal freedom.

The “freeze peach” approach is a purely capitalist idea where you supposedly can say anything, even shitting on someone elses table but you have no actual way to change the broken system you’re in. Thats how they like you, divided, shitting on those you deem lesser and incapable of organizing.

So no, the people who make lemmy are the people who let you say exactly what you are saying now. From my pov, they deserve huge donations. Does that have to do anything with their instance? Not in my opinion.

But because I like to discuss these things: an instance is your private matter. you can do whatever you like and hear whatever you like. If that means you only say nazi stuff for example, that is your choice. And defunding those who give you actual freedom (before lemmy there was reddit and nothing) while not defunding the police or the state that does the exact opposite (looking at you, USA) is just wild imo.

Well. Consensus is great but especially in a world where forcing others is commonly taught from early age, at least qualified majority isnt worth completely throwing it out. It feels very harsh to delegitimize the work instead of just criticizing.

I dont think so. If browsers work this should work too. Hm. Have you tried asking in libre office’s forums or github?

Its just another move by either big tech themselves or lost people who pick up the forks for their masters.

I get it, lemmy devs are the big bad communists (everyone who watches news knows that socialism/communism are the least of our problems rn, au contraire!) And some of them have bad opinions apparently, boo-fucking-hoo.

They went ahead and made this place without even getting paid for it for a long time and they’re great to interact with from my pov.

So no, we dont want to cancel lemmy.

Thanks. I’ll check that out. That said, I happen to be in a lot of anarchist groups and read quite a bit in between.

Afaik, the afaq rightfully claims that both direct democracy and consent are legit ways of anarchist group decisionmaking. I’d agree if you said it doesnt shed light of things like qualified majorities which are used in anarcho syndicalism quite a bit.

Am I missing something?

The way you say this makes me think you actually meant to point out you disliked the slur -while using sarcastic, derogatory, generalizations.

Do you see that this is not the way to do it or do I need to point it out to you?

In any case, nobody here cares about credit or you in particular doing anything. The assumptions show a misunderstanding.

If you’re actually interested in people not using an ableist slur, feel free to help make anti ableist education. Lemmy is a great place for that as leftists indeed are the people who actually care not to shit on people in general.

I work on anti ableist groups. Feel free to help. You can dm me if that is important to you.

In this case, you could have just asked “can we please do away with the ableist slur and use this instead?” Or “please dont use ableist slurs” that would not have sounded like some fascist troll.

I’d like to talk to you about climate change. Do you happen to have a minute?

I’m fairly convinced trumpism is a psy op by the rich to delegitimise anti establishment movements and guide them towards fascism to control them. The majority of trumpists have the right idea, decapitate the oppressive capitalfascist system. But they took the wrong turn. I bet that is by design.

Left and right is a false dichotomy used to divide the masses.

The difference is somewhere else: two coordinates. Ignorance and human rights. If you’re ignorant, you may not know, which still makes you a fool by now.

If you know and dont care for human rights (and animal rights further along but thats a future debate), you’re just a monster.

People who dont know about men in ukraine being forced to die for land ownership, who dont know about thousands starving to death on besieged palestine. They’re foolishly ignorant.

But those who know, those who are okay with countless innocents being massacred, those are not humans in my book.

Nice fascist division tactic.

The point of using psychopath as a derogatory term is legit but it is very obvious that this is not the reason of this comment.

There is a very small subset of humans that understand why LLMs are our doom. The vast majority is riding the next hype train to hell.

We absolutely need to decapitate for profit media or we’re dead.

Not sure I’d call it stimming but deep thinking, jumping in rabbitholes or thinking about special interests is both typical and very soothing. I went into IT after my diagnosis because the amount of rabbitholes is just fun. I would say stimming soothes the brain when under stress or load. Deep thinking can do similar but can also cause stress and load which needs additional thinking. At least thats how I experience it.

They’re just not really useful. None of this was a huge problem before. LLMs make short work of some scenarios but mostly they take longer to correct than the skilled person would have taken to write from scratch.

LLMs have no redeeming qualities outside of science, none, zero. Binary null.

Yes, in a perfect world, the use of LLMs and the like (there is no AI), would be a good way to extend human capabilities. We dont live in that world. In the world we live in, LLMs are net negative for workers, the planet and even small businesses, period.

LLMs should only be used in scientific scenarios. Profiting of them should be outlawed and energy usage should generally be priced exponentially, not only for LLMs.

As someone who works in the field, the whole topic is hype only for those not understanding LLMs and those only understanding LLMs and not reality. We have neither the need for large scale LLM rollout, nor do we have a big benefit from it. Stop believing such nonsense please.

So, get us a stateless, classless society and then you can have LLMs, not before.

Very informative! Thanks a lot! :)

Thank you for clarifying. That helps a great deal! :)

But many people did work on afaq, no?

Edit: what things do you think are biased on afaq? I feel like a link to a critique would help.

I sure hope not. Play on someone else’s pc if you want them to have control.

The guardian in general is a pretty trustworthy source afaik.
