Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango!

  • Is anyone just like... very terrified of losing your memories?

    Jump

  • This is all very cool, especially training your own LLM on the data, but if I ran across a stranger in public self-narrating their own life I would absolutely be like "what the living fuck is this person doing?"

  • Is anyone just like... very terrified of losing your memories?

    Jump

  • There are people who exist with a syndrome where they have nearly perfect memory recall of their lived life and can remember nearly every moment of their lives very clearly.

    Most of the people who live with it do not enjoy the experience.

    Surprisingly, forgetting is a necessary and healthy thing, especially when it comes to things like traumatic experiences.

    There's actually been several social scientists who claim that the permanent memory of the internet is extremely damaging to young people because they literally cannot escape every deeply embarrassing mistake they made in their youth. It follows them, haunts them, colors every aspect of their life, especially if the embarrassing moment causes bullying against the young person, leaving them constantly afraid of someone noticing them lest that person bully them for their past embarrassments. They advocate the idea that society and humans need to be able to forget to have healthy lives.

  • Underappreciated top

    Jump

  • That moment when you realize you're not in [email protected] and people are talking about an entirely different kind of top than you were thinking.

    This is dope, though, I also thought top was just stuck in time.

  • Installing a browser in the big 2025

    Jump

  • I understand that. I actually used the snap one for a long time but then was having issues with it crashing a lot and switched over. I doubt most have the same issues I was having.

    I was just pointing out that if you want to make it difficult for yourself, you can haha.

  • Installing a browser in the big 2025

    Jump

  • I mean you can still get that experience on Ubuntu if you want to install Firefox as an apt package instead of being forced to install it as a snap package.

  • What's your pet name for your SO, and vice versa?

    Jump

  • They were, I miss it.

  • Sorry I spaced on answering this but I am unfamiliar with funkwhale so I don't really know!

  • Where is modern Punk?

  • DD Linux (Danny Devito Linux)

    So anyway, I started blasting

  • What's your pet name for your SO, and vice versa?

    Jump

  • Not in a relationship anymore but for 13 years she was my snugglebunny and I was her honeybear.

  • Music Sites

    Jump

  • Not a torrent site but Soulseek/Nictone+ is a very old school Limewire-style service that you can curate with friends lists and choosing what to share and not share.

    Orpheus is dedicated to music, and one other one which I forget the name of. It's kind of interesting how music trackers were what made torrenting explore originally but not music trackers are often an afterthought.

  • How “Neutrality” And “Free Speech” Become Excuses For Driving Out The People You Claim To Value

    Jump

  • Never believe that corporations ever cared about pesky things like human rights or that all human lives have value.

    No, corporations started hiring and selling products to women, to people of color, to LGBTQ+ groups because it made them more money. They never cared about any of these groups at all or their rights. They just knew that not hiring the best workers from each group and not being willing to sell them products was leaving money on the table. They wanted that money more than they wanted to openly exhibit how racist, misogynist, and homophobic they are.

    So really the decision here follows from that exact same logic. They hid behind neutrality while keeping the person who made them more money. As sad as it is to say, this is the same logic that got them to accept and sell products to these groups to begin with. In the end, it's literally always been about money and nothing else. They hide behind lofty values as a PR move, and nothing else deeper than that. It's always just been propaganda to increase profits.

    The only color they care about is green.

  • Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?

    Jump

  • A show I forgot from my prior post because it's so new is Joe Cappa's Haha You Clowns on Adult Swim. It's very loosely modeled after the classic sitcom My Three Sons and follows the loving and earnest adventures of 3 beefy Chad teens and their love for their equally beefcake father who recently became a Widower as they lovingly try to fill his broken heart with love. The sincerity rounds the bend to being absurd and funny, but the relationships on display are all loving and healthy.

  • Joe Pera Talks With You

    Joe's love for his grandmother will make you cry. Then his best friend Gene's sweet relationship with his sons will make you cry again.

    The Midnight Gospel

    It's only really in the final episode of the series, but Duncan Trussell's relationship with his mother was beautiful and sweet, as evidenced in the finale of this short series.

    Nathan For You

    While Nathan For You really isn't about Nathan Fielder's relationship with his parents and they are only minor characters in the series, in their few appearances, you can tell how much love and respect he has for them. His father loved Taiga soft shell jackets, and as a Jewish family, his father was devastated when Taiga paid tribute to Holocaust denier Doug Collins in one of their winter catalogues. Nathan would go on to create an entire company dedicated to making soft shell jackets in the style his father liked called Summit Ice Apparel so his father could feel comfortable wearing clothing from a reputable company that didn't promote Holocaust deniers. 100% of the profits of Summit Ice go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

    Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist

    As noted in a comment reply about Bob's Burgers, largely made by the same group of people behind Bob's Burgers, but back in the 90's. A sweet relationship between a single father and his aimless but golden hearted adult son.

  • Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?

    Jump

  • Before Bob's Burgers there was Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, which is where H. Jon Benjamin (voice of Bob) really got on the map in the 90's. He was so young back then, he played the son.

    But I always thought it was a very sweet relationship between a single father who was very understanding and patient with his twenty-something year old son who was perpetually without a job and very immature. So patient, so kind, so loving, no intent ever to kick him out and make him "grow up."

    In fact, Dr. Katz, Home Movies, and Bob's Burgers are all Loren Bouchard projects. He was a writer/producer/editor on Dr. Katz but he was a creator on Home Movies and Bob's Burgers.

    Fun fact about Dr. Katz. Jon Benjamin's character, Ben, was infatuated with his fathers secretary, Laura, who was played by Laura Silverman. Even though in the show her character couldn't stand Ben, in real life Jon Benjamin and Laura Silverman were dating at the time.

    Sometimes people like to complain about windows and iOS

    Jump

  • So then what's the fucking difference if they're bitching about their issues with Windows versus bitching about their issues with Linux? Doesn't that bring us back to the original post? Let people complain. If they're going to have issues either way and bitch either way, why the fuck do you have to evangelize them to get them to shut up about the ones you're ideologically opposed to? What are you really doing other than having them bitch about something you feel happy about? You haven't materially made their life better, they still have computer issues they hate, but now they just have a smaller number of people they can turn to for help. Great job.

  • I think a Degoogled stock Pixel will be far more inconvenient than you want it to be because of the work you would have to put in for simple things like Push Notifications to work without Google services.

  • But if Windows isn't ready for those users either, why are people in this thread shitting all over them for not switching to something else they're not ready for? They'll complain either way when shit doesn't work.

    Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?"
