Sounds like that user may have been a dick and ran afoul of a mod…?

Also, for them to portray the moderating experience of lemmy as worse than Reddit is… uh… fascinating.

man rsync

Janeway replicates her coffee.

Holden would never stand for that philistine bullshit.

The Expanse comes to mind. Holden (one of the main protagonists) has a series-long trope of being a MASSIVE coffee enthusiast, which is interesting for a series set largely in zero-G

Friend: gets DMCA notice

ah, but you have heard of me!

I’ve always been partial to triples myself, in terms of exhaust note

Don’t bother lol

One of my three strikes was for commenting on an antifascist thread as follows:

it’s always a good day to punch a Nazi

I mean… I’ll be the one to say it: he’s not gonna know.

Do what you want and need to in order to maintain your sanity. Placate him with a white lie - and it is a white lie - to make him feel better, if you want to. But maintaining your boundaries and avoiding people you find utterly caustic isn’t “childish”. In fact, I’d call it a consummately adult behavior.

That shit was a core memory for me, too - I was in middle school when 9/11 went down, and high school during the Iraq invasion and war. I remember feeling weird about signing up for selective service (it’s a compulsory holdover from the draft era, if you aren’t aware), and being moderately concerned that I’d be plucked for deployment to the Middle East if some political dipshit decided they needed more meatbags for the grinder. It absolutely sped up my political coming of age.

Side note: I now struggle to take the popular outrage at the event seriously, in light of the fact that during peak covid, there were a couple weeks where we were losing a 9/11’s worth of people across the US every single fucking day. Call me callous if you will, but the popular reaction to that of “fuck you I won’t wear a mask or get a vaccine but I’ll inject bleach and take ivermectin” kind of broke me in terms of having any faith whatsoever in the broader American populace. Huge swaths of my countrymen don’t give a single shit about anything unless it either affects them very directly, or it’s a splashy MCU-esque story.

Ooh, good protip! I’ll have to check that out.

Ugh goddammit. I still check a handful of long running CW post chains from some writers/users whose stories I’ve become invested in… but I guess I’m done with that now :(

Oh yeah it 100% explodes your token usage by establishing a contentious paradigm. But that’s what the C-suites want, and they don’t understand (or care to understand) the subtleties of how this development methodology works. So we’ll all (somewhat maliciously) follow orders until they change their minds when they see the absolutely ludicrous LLM bill 🤪

Now ask it why it’s apologizing

The best sort of methodology I’ve found to coerce Claude or whatever (we are strongly encouraged to use it, because you know, tech these days) is (for a single agent) to define a process that includes proving its work and citing sources. For agentic flow, you basically just assign a contrarian role in particular domains to some of the agents - ideally all of this is also hooked into an MCP server that includes deterministic utilities to improve accuracy and solution arrival speed.

It’s basically just a shitty, brute-forced, massively over complicated Monte Carlo algorithm that’s wildly inefficient in terms of energy usage and infrastructural cost, that also happens to be turning our economy into a highly flammable house of cards.

Can you tell what my opinion of all this bullshit is, despite knowing how to do all of this crap reasonably well? 😛

Well hey, since this is surely taxpayer money, according to our idiot fucking regime, we’re all now funding “terrorist activities” 🥴

Ballparking the numbers, ~165M taxpayers gives us a mean handout from literally everyone to the tune of a bit under 2k/person.

This is the dumbest fucking timeline, I swear to Cthulhu

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

I’m gonna suggest two:

• anyone at all who works at ICE
• anyone who works at an America health insurance company in any sort of managerial or leadership capacity
