The reality though is I can train LLMs off Lemmy data all I want and I don't have to pay ANYONE a dime...

It's not racist to dislike and distrust a government, as long as you don't equate all people of that region or ethnicity with that government. Authoritarian governments, especially Israel, but also China, LOVE to cast dissent with their politics or cultural values as "racist" but this is ABSOLUTE bullshit and should be called out, mocked, disparaged and laughed at, NOT legitimized.
I think the biggest draw for me is that I ran something very like this scenario as a GURPS game in like... 1996?
If I end up reading this, it will be as a gift to my inner teenager.
Richard Morgan used to be one of my favorites until Netflix ruined the Takeshi Kovacs books.
They really, really did. As someone who loved the books, I found the show unwatchable, which bummed out a couple of my friends who hadn't read the books and were super excited to share this "great new cyberpunk show" with me.
Worm is awesome! There's a fan created audiobook that's MOSTLY quite good (a couple of the readers are hard to listen to). It got me through a big move where I spent a month driving 2,000 miles every weekend.
I liked Alex Benedict better than Priscilla Hutchins / Academy... but BOTH really suffer from "It is the far future and humans have spread across space into... an absolutely boring interplanetary monoculture identical to 90s era middle class American suburbia." I could only take that for like... ten books, lol.
I just use AndFTP, with SSH. Works fine for local and remote file system navigation. I use it to move files android<->various linux machines at least weekly.
I did mention that I don't like Asher... He's a super good story teller, but his need to forcefeed me libertarian ideology and his shallow portrayal of the motivations of anarchists and criminals just turned me off more and more until I was done.
You sold that really well! Thank you.
I have an app that does exactly that over scp...
Is there a reason I need something more than scp?
That's what I did. I turned all my comments into Lemmy advertisements, and also an obscene sentence telling u/spez to kill himself (I'm not proud of it at this juncture, but it felt good at the time).
