Over time, you start seeing a pattern. If the (superficially) rude things mostly make you laugh, it’s the former, if they mostly make you feel bad, it’s the latter.

As a leftist, this puzzles me. Copyright has always only protected those who have the means to sue people. And it is a fundamental commodification of things that are not commodities by nature. So the left should be and has been critical of copyright.

Panic over people losing their jobs, no viable alternatives and frankly, misunderstandings of AI technology has sparked a leftist anti-AI wave that has utilized pro-copyright rhetoric.

Maybe we’ll see better ideas that combat the problems cause by AI in the future. Meanwhile, we’ll have to put up with the asenine pro-copyright propaganda BS that we know from the online piracy discussions from 20 years ago.

CEOs != everyone

If you work from home, all breaks can be masturbation breaks

Yeah I’d rather not have allergy-denying magical thinkers poisoning me with peanuts

You ruined my day by reminding me that a third of people believe in astrology

What does that mean?

That distinction makes exactly zero difference when it comes to my point

Karma is a pretty typical human way of rationalizing all the injustice we see in the world. It’s difficult to accept that life is, in fact, unfair

I mean spss and stata are Rstudio+R alternatives

Cool! Every once in a while, I open the browser and check what’s going on in the gemini://midnight.pub

Krita. I had a uni licence for Photoshop for years, even took a Photoshop course but still kept using Krita. It has an intuitive UI and all the tools I’ll ever need.

RStudio+R is way better than any of its proprietary alternatives.

Blender. I’m no 3D modling expert but it does everything I as a hobbyist want to do with it and so much more. Nowadays, the UI is pretty decent, too.

Finally, the Lagrange browser is really good. The gemini protocol is kinda niche though, but if you’re interested it’s unreasonably pretty, well optimized and has a great UX. The guy who maintains it really puts his heart and soul into it.

Business writing is like the one thing LMMs have actually made useless

What if you start with your own problems first. Plenty to work with there

Those rehabilitation facilities already exist. Forced medical treatment. It is restricted to the most extreme cases, I think for a reason.

If you were actually concerned about people’s well-being, you’d at least be consistent about applying forced medical treatment to anybody who has some issues that cause harm to others. Sending alcoholics, narcissists, drug addicts, workplace bullies, etc. to camps? Pretty extreme but at least consistent.

But you are not. You just want an excuse to send people to camps. Typical red fash stuff.

Sick people have rights though?

Yeah. What if we don’t take people’s right to bodily autonomy for indirectly harmful speech, or as I interpret you, beliefs they hold silently
