Dude. I mean this in all sincerity: Eat my entire ass. Conflating voting with support for genocide might not be the stupidest thing I've ever encountered, but it's gotta be in the top twenty

You're an advocate of not voting? Then I hope you get the day you voted for.

Welcome! Isn't it a breath of fresh air to use an OS that isn't trying to turn your computer into an advertising and upselling platform? It has its issues, but it's a huge relief to escape the constant inundation from Microsoft.

(Obligatory: I use arch BTW)

I won't be impressed until police officers start actually arresting these fake "federal agents" when they assault someone. Put the fear of the actual law in these lawless motherfuckers.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

They can tell the difference. But you'd be amazed at the mental gymnastics someone with extremely strong motivations can engage in.

You gotta remember that these are mostly people who went back to the Trump trough three times in a row, even as he's been steadily destabilizing and destroying their lives. If they admit they fucked up now, they have to admit they've been fucking up for over a decade, non-stop. Many of them would literally rather die than do that.

I wish Trump would rupture, like the pestilent boil on America's ass that he is.

In order to get there, they need to recognize the fact that if they make themselves a disposable rubber-stamp for everything a dictator does, inevitably the dictator realizes he doesn't even need them anymore and disposes of them.

I hope they are at the point of realization, but I have doubts.

I expect a lot of countries will welcome vaccine tourists, because those will be the sane Americans who don't support this madness and are trying to change it. If there's to be any hope of getting the US back on track, the sane people living here have to be healthy.

God, that's so frustrating. I want to shake them and shout, "No, your code is 100% ass now, but you don't know it because it passes tests that were written by the same LLM that wrote your code! And you have barely laid eyes on it, so you're forgetting what good code even looks like!"

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

So in your case, not only is the LLM coding assistant not making you faster, it's actively impeding your productivity and the productivity of your stakeholders. That sucks, and I'm sorry you're having to put up with it.

I'm lucky that in my day job, we're not (yet) forced to use LLMs, and the "AI coding platform" our upper management is trying to bring on as an option is turning out to be an embarrassing boondoggle that can't even pass cybersecurity review. My hope is that the VP who signed off on it ends up shit-canned because it's such a piece of garbage.

"Cognitive amplifier?" Bullshit. It demonstrably makes people who use it stupider and more prone to believing falsehoods.

I'm watching people in my industry (software development) who've bought into this crap forget how to code in real-time while they're producing the shittiest garbage I've laid eyes on as a developer. And students who are using it in school aren't learning, because ChatGPT is doing all their work - badly - for them. The smart ones are avoiding it like the blight on humanity that it is.

Please tell me PP's political career is over now.

 

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
