I can’t wait for the Criminal Repercussions In Manipulating Electees act.

Agreed. That retort was spot on.

• No attacking his personality.
• No attacking his physical characteristics.
• No strawmen.
• No name-calling.
• Just a direct cut at his oxymoronic qualifications and lack of care for the working class.

I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what “checks and balances” or “separation of powers” means.

I guarantee both would lack self-awareness and instead be defined with a generous sprinkling of “woke”, “antifa”, or “liberal” in the definition.

Maybe:

“Checks and balances make it so a woke liberal president can’t take away our freedom by himself.”

Well, that explains a lot about the product quality. Their entire development workflow is a complete fucking mess.

• Long-lived feature branches.
• Creating merge commits to main just for the sole purpose of tagging them as releases while also maintaining separate release branches.
• Force-pushing tags to incorporate post-release hotfixes instead of releasing minor patch updates.
• Taking bugfixes from releases and merging them back into the development branch (have they not heard of cherry-pick?)
• Always using merges even when a rebase would be easier to follow and keep the history more straightforward.

I’m sure the official statement will read more like

“Voters, they LOVE me. The approvals, my approval ratings, just tremendous. The BEST ratings anyone ever saw. So great they said to ME, “President Trump, we won’t do this anymore”. No more ratings. I FIXED ratings. Just like I fixed the ECONOMY and CRIME. Crooked Hillary could NEVER do that. Obama tried. He tried long and tried hard, I give him that. He COULDN’T do it. Only ME. Only I can fix it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.”

If people in government were more tech literate and willing to stand by their morals by whistleblowing, they would create a torrent of the encrypted evidence and set up a dead man’s switch for the key.

A hash is at least consistent when given identical inputs. What they created is more like a digital incinerator.

Foreword: I am not the person you replied to, and I also don’t agree with killing anybody.

That being said, I have to comment on this:

Killing them is just a waste of talent and experience.

I would argue they have neither. The people they employ are the ones with the talent and experience.

Take Elon Musk, for example. He makes big claims that sound plausible, but anybody who actually understands what he’s talking about knows that he’s only pretending to be knowledgeable in the subject. It’s the engineers and designers at Tesla that do all the hard work in bringing products to market, yet he gets the absurdly high pay package for doing little more than lying to consumers.

Presumably, yes. The only thing Taco hears is himself.

He is obsessed with windmills and thinks they are bad.

How did we not see this before?
It all makes sense now.

“After a brief investigation over mimosas and a cheese platter, we have found credible evidence that Good was a member of the Alphabet Mafia. The agent was justified in his use of lethal force against a dangerous criminal. No charges will be filed.”

Would they even get that bonus as cash? The cynic in me thinks there’s a missing asterisk saying “in equivalent benefits”, where the benefits are just health insurance and something stupid like a gym membership or subsidizing part of the price when buying a new American™ car.

That would at least make it less of a slap in the face to the teachers who are actually trying to make the country a better place.

Historical context, delivery, and handling.

HUP—hang up—is sent to indicate the TTY is closed.
TERM—terminate— is sent by request.

What happens when received is usually up to the process. Most of them just leave the defaults, which is to exit.

Step 1: Make personal computing unaffordable.
Step 2: Rent “personal” computing as a service.
Step 3: Boil the frog by continuously restricting what people can do with the service.
Step 4: Wait for local computing to die.
Step 5: Stop LLMs from running on rented computers.

Hardware won’t last forever. Once they have full control over what people can do with computers, they have full control over the information people are exposed to. LLMs won’t help with that if the only ones that are accessible to the layman are sanitized and censored.

As of now, total is 800 k.

Someone anonymously dropped $5,000 as a donation. It’s always nice to see that some people are using their much-higher-than-average disposable income for the good of others.

Not distraction, scapegoat. Fascism needs an “others” demographic to blame for citizens’ hardships, and they have realized that it’s more effective to have multiple of them so voters can cherry-pick whichever they feel more strongly about.

If I had a dollar for every time on Lemmy that I encountered a mysognistic CS student that thinks they know more than they do, I would now have a dollar. And that’s quite a fucking shame, considering I’ve been here for years.

The industry you’re trying to break into was founded by women, LGBT folks, and people who envisioned technology as a path towards the betterment of humanity. Do better. You’re acting like a disgrace to its legacy.

Oh boy. We’re already at 13 out of 14 on the checklist.
