Oh man, your mod history is exactly what one would expect from a nuanced take like that.

Congrats on the consistency though, don't often see dedication like that these days.

Opinions and humour aren't mutually exclusive.

That you personally don't find it humourous doesn't necessarily mean it lacks humour.

If you want to complain about the authors political opinions, do that directly.

Pretending that you don't understand how subjective humour works instead of saying what you mean is weak of character.

Unless you genuinely didn't know humour can be different for different people?

Sure we did.

"Lines Of Code" is a good one, more code = more work so it must be good.

I recently had a run in with another good one : PR's/Dev/Month.

Not only it that one good for overall productivity, it's a way to weed out those unproductive devs who check in less often.

This one was so good, management decided to add it to the company wide catchup slides in a section espousing how the new AI driven systems brought this number up enough to be above other companies.

That means other companies are using it as well, so it must be good.

Basically all of modern society functions off of the back of an elaborate , rigged gambling system.

That's what the stock market is, in a very real way.

So any disagreement should be met with immediate forking?

No raising of grievances, just silence and then forking?

Or is it only silence and forking for open source?

As soon as anyone is paid then comments are allowed ?

Kind feels like a reductive half-answer, but you do you.

That's the goal, once you can't outright afford the hardware what do you think happens?

Subscriptions of course, much like the phone "contracts" of today, now you can rent a PC, or better yet subscribe to a cloud instance of a PC.

You'd still need to subscribe to the LLM of course, but that'd be easier if it was bundled with your cloud computer subscription.

Then comes the software bundles, because they can't just have you installing whatever you want on their cloud machines, that's leaving money on the table.

Eventually with the next generation, or the one after that it will become normalised, just another thing you can't own because fuck you, that's why.

if you are worried about those things to the point where cutting off the toes of pets for convenience is a consideration , you should not get the pet (or re-home it if you already have it).

Incidentally cats can be trained, it's not the same as dog training but it does exist in some forms.

Is this situation relevant to that example? Are the people in question changed since the time in which the accusations were made?

Rebranding personal ethics and morals as "a purity test" is disingenuous at best.

If you're going to take umbridge with someone's approach at least do it directly instead of this backhanded high horse bullshit.

So you would say the level of skill, study and practice for genai art is approximately the same as a non-ai artist?

Because that was the statement you disagree with.

If you are forced to use "lite" rather than normal ublock origin then you've probably already lost this fight because you're in a browser that forces manifest v3 extensions only.

So you get crippled ad-blockers (by design).

I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.

Same reason the Mafia or the Cartels don't call the police when something goes down.

If you don't take care of it yourself how will people know not to fuck with you ?

That's also a logical fallacy.

You are conflating lack of effective choice with active support.

In an effectively two party race, where both arguably are supporting a position (through action if not through ideology) there is no option where you aren't effectively contributing to said position.

Vote either way or not at all , you are contributing to the overall success of one party or the other.

"Our genocide guy is better" is really the only option when there is no other practical choice.

Even voting independent just supports whoever happens to be winning from the two main parties.

What are you proposing is the practical option for people who don't want to be "in support of parties involved in committing genocide"?

To be clear i have no good answer to this either, just wondering if you do.
