Thanks for posting this. Yes, I'm registered to vote in the Democratic primaries. I've occasionally considered registering as a Republican in order to try to vote for the sanest candidates in that party, but ultimately decided to focus instead on pulling the Dems as far to the left as possible.

But it's well in line with their other traditional focus: Bribery and corruption

Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.

As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.

True. So in six months, the market will be flooded with cheap, barely-used "AI" server hardware no one wants, and RAM for PCs will still be stupid expensive, because we live in the stupidest timeline.

In six months, the market will be absolutely flooded with cheap barely-used RAM.

We have. Every day. Whether we want to or not.

It feels like that fucking asshole has been raping our minds for years.

Well of course. They knew all along that they've been cultivating a base driven by unreasoning fear and hate, and they know full well how violent such people can be.

There was never a moment when the politicians pushing that fear and hate didn't know they were full of shit.

A software developer found out that the failing company they're at, which was winding down for business reasons, decided to try becoming a zombie company by replacing its software stack (and employees) with a vibe-coded SaaS piece of garbage that's broken in dozens of ways.

You misread what I wrote. I didn't say it couldn't fool me, I said I'll never pay for it. I'm not interested in fabricated emotional connections to fake art, even if it's faked well enough to trick me. All this means is that I'm going to be researching the bands and artists I listen to, which I already do anyways.

There really isn't anything unique anyway in human made content

100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated "art," because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It's all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.

Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.

Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don't feed trolls.

Not really. I'm using Copilot for my job because I'm required to, but I limit it to creating basic scripts that accomplish very specific tasks, which it's okay at. I never let it touch my actual codebase.

Every experiment I've run to test how it does with real code from a large, production application has failed miserably. It introduces mocks, it duplicates stuff everywhere, it fakes shit when real APIs are available... I have no fucking idea how these "AI" companies have managed to convince so many businesses that producing catastrophically shitty code very quickly is a good thing.

 

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:
