Sorry, but it is deeply insulting to insinuate that anyone should care about ICE kidnappers' feelings. How would you like it if your feed included "here's how sad child molesters are because of their job" or "here's how upset all the puppy slaughterers are today."

Why did Raw Story write this bullshit? Why did you repost it?

THE TWO DEAD HOUSE DEMS WHO GOT VOTED IN DESPITE BEING TERMINAL

"why is the opposition foil party intentionally losing over and over???"

really shitty look for the mods that this is still up

exactly which slurs count on here, gang? who counts as people to "be nice" to, exactly? @Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world @TheSaneWriter@lemm.ee @Asudox@lemmy.world

Protest isn't going to bring back "american democracy" or stop the genocides or bring back reproductive rights. It can be used to limited effect, though, against a fascist regime like the one in the colonies right now.

Wikipedia on Open Protests against Nazi Germany

Hitler recognized the power of collective action, advocated non-compliance toward unworthy authority (e.g. the 1923 French occupation of the Ruhr), and brought his party to power in part by mobilizing public unrest and disorder to further discredit the Weimar Republic.[49] In power, Nazi leaders quickly banned extra-party demonstrations, fearing displays of dissent on open urban spaces might develop and grow, even without organization. To direct attention away from dissent, the Nazi state appeased some public, collective protests by "racial" Germans and ignored but did not repress others, both before and during the war. The regime rationalized appeasement of public protests as temporary measures to maintain the appearance of German unity and reduce the risk of alienating the public through blatant Gestapo repression.

Wikipedia on the Rosentrasse Protest

The Rosenstrasse protest was the only mass public demonstration by Germans in the Third Reich against the deportation of Jews.[1] The protest on Rosenstraße ("Roses street") took place in Berlin during February and March 1943.

This demonstration was initiated and sustained by the non-Jewish wives and relatives of Jewish men and Mischlinge, (those of mixed Jewish and Aryan heritage). Their husbands had been targeted for deportation, based on the racial policy of Nazi Germany, and detained in the Jewish community house on Rosenstrasse. The protests, which occurred over the course of seven days, continued until the men being held were released by the Gestapo. The protest by the women of the Rosenstrasse led to the release of approximately 1,800 Berlin Jews.

This propagates fake/wrong solutions to common tech problems too, it's obnoxious.

indeed they literally cannot cite sources accurately by way of their function 😬

thanks buddy that looks great

 

Personally seen this behavior a few times in real life, often with worrying implications. Generously I'd like to believe these people use extruded text as a place to start thinking from, but in practice is seems to me that they tend to use extruded text as a thought-terminating behavior.

IRL, I find it kind of insulting, especially if I'm talking to people who should know better or if they hand me extruded stuff instead of work they were supposed to do.

Online it's just sort of harmless reply-guy stuff usually.

Many people simply straight-up believe LLMs to be genie like figures as they are advertised and written about in the "tech" rags. That bums me out sort of in the same way really uncritical religiosity bums me out.

HBU?

The majority of pro AI spam on the fediverse gets spread by just a handful of accounts. Usually it is people posting to one of the big "tech" pages from pro-AI PAC websites (that 74million dot org bullshit for example) or one of the billionaire mouthpiece outlets (futurism, ars technica, biz insider), and then they cross-post and repost everywhere else.

This strategy makes it so the only ways to stop seeing the shit is to get really good with personal filters or (more likely) users will block the spammer account and the communities that allow them. Notice how both of these methods also tend to block people who are bashing AI.

Seems like a behavior we need to figure out how to call out and get mods to help with? I guess Fuck AI people should start volunteering to mod Tech news? Oh no, what have I logically walked myself into...

 

I want to put together a stack for hobbyist midi music composition. I understand there are a few more components to it than one might expect, but I think VMPK and Qtracer are going to be part of it?

Any tutorial links or suggestions appreciated!
