The AI scanner

Oh boy. Does this mean that one or more of our favorite tech sociopaths might have full unredacted versions of the kompromat that they totally promised the AI system would not save?

This is not the gotcha you think it is.

First, the comment you chose is replying to another comment you don't choose that DID blame it on Clinton and got far more upvotes. And if you care so much about votes then this post of yours seems to have been rejected by the collective so far.

But more importantly, I responded to your broad generalized statement with one of my own. I don't know why you think a single counter example (even a good one and not just somebody being wrong) is going to shatter my statement as if it's a scientific theory.

I would have made some kind of sarcastic joking "welcome to lemmy" comment, but your profile says it was created two and a half years ago in the era of the great third party app reddit exodus.

The biggest Democrat "support" I generally see here, and which I have contributed to myself, is the suggestion that it may be a good idea to vote for a severely flawed Democrat in order to avoid everything we're seeing right now and have waiting for us in the next 3+ years.

It's probably the same nefarious cabal sneaking the french language pack onto our computers.

Stay vigilant, friends.

Not only is it spooky, it is always wet.

Ah yeah good edit, I wasn't even considering that you could have meant it that way.

I decided to go look up the rules in order to contribute something more useful to this discussion, and it turns out that the mere presence of offspring does not disqualify one from the award!

Given their reasoning, I think Kirk would qualify. And given that his whole brand was about spreading stupid dangerous ideas to everybody's kids including his own, and then he died in a spectacularly ironic and public way, I think he should actually win one!

This isn't a movie plot we're talking about here, nor is it some small far-away regional conflict that could never affect you.

I'm in the US but even if I was on the opposite side of the globe in a decent and closely allied country like Australia or NZ, I think I'd still be worried about these psychos being in control of the 800 pound gorilla.

That sentence from hbomberguy is a work of art.

I'm a parent too, and that's exactly why I am glad his disgusting voice was silenced in the most public and ironic way possible.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks!

He's already in 3rd grade and they haven't even covered ESD precautions yet!!

Like I'm gonna let those grubby mitts touch an actual stick of ram or GPU in the year 2025, lol.

Nope I don't have experience installing older distros. I used some Unix systems in the late 90s (Sun Solaris) and really liked them even though I wasn't yet the Linux/FOSS enthusiast I am now.

Your comment does not surprise me at all, though. For any rough edges Linux has had over the years, at least the motivations of the developers creating it have been in the right place all along. That is, making software for themselves and users, as opposed to the innumerable forces of enshittification within tech giants like Microsoft.
