Not really interested until I can use it via api.

The AI bubble hasn’t popped so free tiers for basically any AI is better than Lump which is just running other better models anyways.

In fact if the point is to spite american companies(you should), you should just over use free tier american AIs since it costs them lots of money.

To me, Art is a catalyst for discussion, reflection, and expression.

So yes, I view internet trolling as a form of art. Maybe not capital A Art, but is it not the art of a sub culture? A way to catalyze discussion, debate, expression? A well crafted message that in often a hundred words or less that sparks endless debates and reactions?

Is the art the catalyst or the consequences?

Is the art the banana or my feelings about it?

To me I think its all art.

Leto certainly didn’t help, but historically this is how this is supposed to go.

Its probably a parent company situation.

Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.

The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.

Capitalism baby!

Probably why they didn’t do it in the first place.

They barely pay for moderation. Who is going to pay for that survey? And also why would they? Obviously most of the people on that site are under 18. That’s when I used it.

What other demographic clicks the horny ads they run?

The classic

offers to recycle

actually installs esoteric Linux distros

Classic!

If not classes, some homie who’s an ex combat vet who’s not certified because they don’t want to give the feds or the NRA any money.

I’ve paid the fascists for their classes and its nothing special. I can save you a Sunday and several Friday afternoons and at least $300 in training with these blog posts I wrote.

Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…

Since no one else answered

“Signs” (2002) by M. Night Shyamalan

I mean if someone can conceive it then yes.

Personally I do think there will always be a “class” of some sort since even among career and financial equals I still view colleagues as a different class of human.

Like I’m a camp in the woods kinda human where my coworker is a take his car to a race track kinda human.

But that’s never the class that is being discussed.

A classless society is specifically one where someone doesn’t have power over you by some financial measure. A true meritocracy as there is no financial incentive to be in those roles since it is also a moneyless society.

Utopian? Maybe. Conceivable? Yeah I can conceive what that would be like and I want to strive for it.

Maybe its not important if its possible and its just important that there are people willing to work towards it or implement something like it in their own controllable way.

Yeah I’m not doing it for the energy savings I’m doing it for personal comfort.

If I was really concerned about energy use at that scale I would simply not use a computer.

I hate to report but Candice called Gaza a genocide and said when the vacation spot opens on Gaza beach we should look at those who went as vermin.

1. obviously she’s a grifter who is rapidly loosing favor in the trump regime she helped build. So always keep that in mind.

2. I’m personally not a fan of dehumanizing fascists or genocide enablers. I think its important that we remember that human beings are always capable of this.

Asphalt holds up shockingly good considering it has to support fucking Semi trucks and recreational semi trucks.

Lots of blue checks, AI Avis, and Trade + Crosses in usernames.

I wouldn’t call that an official response.

A deeply concerning response from the CEO, but a forum response isn’t the same as an announcement about policy change or something.

Im mad but I’m willing to give them time to grapple with the realities of the box they opened to see how they attempt to close it.

I would have been happy with a corpo

“We will be reviewing our philanthropic practices going forward.”

With pure neutral tone and no mention of the politics.

That’s the corpo correct answer. And its concerning they didn’t give that.

No its about Framework, Right now, sponsoring fascists.

I’m just saying. She could have totally stole them from Mexicans.

Which would technically not be a lie.

A 4060ti has been out long enough that you’re fine with basically any main stream distro.

I think even the 50 series is fine now with most mainstream distros as well.

I still prefer arch based distros now for Nvidia cards and honestly, Fedora is great!

Yeah I’ll join the Vin Diesel cult!
