You assumed I meant something which I could understand but when I corrected that you told me I was lying. This is asshole behavior and I’ve had my fill. Btw I’ve noticed you repeatedly trying to call out people publicly without seeming to care if your accusations are even correct and you also did it to me privately once and it’s always pretty abrasive. Congratulations, I blocked that community you ran me out of. No one else seemed to have a problem with me speaking there and the rules very much didn’t say that either. But I tried to tell myself you were trying to be helpful even though it clearly was designed to make me feel shitty.

I find it very strange that you see yourself as Internet police and I know other people dislike it also.

So yeah, I won’t be opting into all this anymore. I won’t be seeing your replies.

I attempted to correct you on what I meant however you didn’t believe me which is a weird move. Might be better to not confidently assert what others did or mean unless you can actually be sure you’re right.

Thanks for telling me what I was thinking. Definitely not rude or weird to do at all. Now invent something else to be offended about.

I’m not even talking about the usage of literally. I just find it a really odd thing to do this “I really want others to know how invalid their view is” thing about.

Is this satire? How can you “literally not understand” the perspective that the unchanged human face would be preferable for some people over literally anything you could do to it?

With all things we can either practice moderation or not. A couple of functions that avoid adding dependencies and sub dependencies is a good option. I know this because I am a JavaScript developer. Try dealing with a project with dozens of dependencies and tell me you won’t spend a small amount of effort trying to avoid that. Had to do a fire drill deploy just the other day because of a zero day. That one was a complicated thing I couldn’t just write a function for but the principle remains. always adding more dependencies is not a good move.

Yeah I’m not conservative but I don’t like such piercings either. They’re very distracting on top of it.

Yes, you could. As always I think the context dictates what makes sense. I am not generally in favor of ai for software or much else but there could be some examples where writing a small amount of code with it is better than jumping through hoops to use someone else’s project.

I think modern software being chock full of dependencies is a problem. There are security and other issues introduced by devs who literally are just avoiding writing a pretty simple function or two and that’s bad. If you properly check those functions I would even say that using AI in that context is the better option.

Really? It was my understanding that these glass stove tops were pretty much the toughest glass available. I know I used to clean off dried spills with a razor scraper when I lived in a home that had one.

Yeah a 1.5 trillion dollar budget just isn’t enough /s

Bit touchy here for some reason

Never can tell

Libertarian hogwash belongs on Shitter, not Lemmy.

Fascist or satire?

Is that a reference to something? I feel like some comedy bit featured someone saying “that makes me want a hotdog real bad”. Maybe a false memory on my part.

No. He wrote an important and correct book that speaks truth to power. Given that my name is not Cory Doctorow, I’ve got nothing to defend. Not that he does either. I don’t care if he does, that book alone does precisely the opposite of the pack of lies you’re selling about him here.

So you stand by your claim that someone is exactly what they’ve spent lots of time fighting against. And your reasoning is he’s not been outspoken enough about Israel. This is weak shit and yeah weeks later I’m less likely to be more invested in the conversation, if I ever would have been.

If all he ever did was write the book Enshittification and then die he would literally have done millions of times more to fight big tech than you ever will. This is just a bizarre exchange.

Also it’s weird that you point out that he’s Jewish and just kinda let it hang there like I should draw some conclusion from that.

You have no clue about anything. Thanks for letting me know that you know nothing but you do devalue art. Easy block decision.

Ps. You’re free to create ai slop in your garage, people won’t care about that even harder, if you can even imagine that

It makes more sense to me if I think of him as literally having no actual beliefs. He found a way to profit from Nazi propaganda so he does that. He probably has just considered himself immune to any of these issues until now, because he’s rich and (in)famous.
