Okay, but openai was open source once. And then they just didn't change their name when they changed their licenses. Which I actually think is more dishonest.

I'm sorry, but preemptive apologies are fine.

Anyone telling you otherwise is anti-Canadian. 😜

Think the world might collapse? Maybe NOW you'll consider buying into the crypto grift! I swear it's definiely a good idea this time. I super-pinky swear it's a good investment.

Just ignore the countless times crypto has shown it's really only useful for scams, and money laundering.

I know this post "addressed" this point, but not to the extent that anyone with a partially functional ability to reason will be convinced. Here's my problem... I find it excessively hard to believe that in a collapse scenario anyone would be interested in trading goods for crypto.

This is actually huge.

I'm far FAR from an Apple user, but the moment this is available, I'll be seeing if I can install FireFox with µBlock Origin on my partner's phone.

I do this using an Arch distrobox on my openSUSE Kalpa machine whenever I need anything that isn't flatpak'd or available through my tumbleweed distrobox.

Scary to imagine that someone out there might actually believe that if we forcibly sterilized a group of individuals, we are (not only committing a heinous and evil act, but also) removing their status as a human being.

Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there's a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

I run into lots of websites where all I think is "this can't possibly be a human writing this, right?" All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.

Assuming you're saying all this in good faith, I can confidently say your assertions on what leftists believe is entirely off the mark.

In my experience the more left you are, the less you care about gender norms, stereotypes, and roles. More importantly, the most left-wing people I know are the least onboard with the framing of "gender = sex" and "gender is binary".

Personally in my own political journey, the more radically left I've gotten, the more conscious I've been of how things actually work for marginalized and queer folk. I used to be largely politically unconscious, and I used to think that "all the trans stuff" was confusing and weird "how can you be non-binary? That doesn't make any sense at all."

However, the more I've understood the world through a leftist lens, the more I've actually comprehended the reality the LGBTQ+ community lives in... and it's gotten less scary as a result.

I'm very left, and I do not believe an ounce of what you say I'd believe.

I haven't played the new one, but I'm also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I've almost 100%'d it.

I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.

My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won't buy it until it's on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren't good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.

I'd rather we don't keep platforming Jimmy Dore, if it's all the same to the rest of you.

If a certain group of workers is too critical to be allowed to strike, then they're too critical to be forced to work in poor conditions. "Back to work" legislation should not exist to bind the workers, but bind the companies.

"Sorry, you're too important to Canada's infrastructure, you can't be allowed to mistreat your workers. As punishment for letting it get this bad, you must agree to ALL of their terms, and in return, they'll begin working first thing tomorrow. Guess you should have been more agreeable BEFORE the strike."

I dunno, forcing strikes to end in any situation seems dangerously close to forced labour. But maybe I'm just a dirty commie.

Yes, during the last update the admins revoked all the auth keys, forcing everyone to login again. There was some concern over security, related to the exploit that was used to compromise lemmy.world
