  • yes. and you wouldn't believe¹ what's in the replies when you make this simple and obvious statement.

    ¹ who i am kidding. of course you know.

  • do read up a little on how the large language models work before coming here to mansplain, would you kindly?

  • i made a point.

    also, may i advise the esteemed gentleman to not partake in the behaviour depicted in the wondermark plate № 1062?

  • tbh the enforced civility and de facto ban on social issue discussion on lobste is not helping. (but after last “polite discussion” i had with the moderator i'm not going to bring it up anymore, just suspend the account or wait to be banned.)

    • ‘at rest’ → we're using filesystem encryption
    • ‘in transit’ → we're using TLS

    neither is end-to-end encryption, the data is not private to the service provider.

  • yeah – and some games even behave better when mediated via proton's wine (fallout 76 for example doesn't lose sound output completely just because you switch between speakers and headphones, which was one of my greatest annoyances with the game).

  • (…) perception, attention, thought, imagination, intelligence, comprehension, the formation of knowledge, memory and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and computation, problem-solving and decision-making (…)

  • i guess it comes down to a philosophical question

    no, it doesn't, and it's not a philosophical question (and neither is this a question of philosophy).

  • oh my, you're such a confluence of bad takes (racist, transphobic, creepy and ignorant of the technical and biological topics you're pontificating about.)

  • preview:

    reality:

    “how to inflate your event by pretending there's more to it” (tbh i wouldn't mind if esr would inflict his pleasant personality on that crowd; and of course the renowned philosopher agnes callard will attend)

  • ack – thanks, it's good to have a proper reality check.

  • if one were paranoid one would think they joined the community only to write that bloody post.

  • if i wouldn't know from @titotal@awful.systems that it's undoubtfully a manor house, i'd think it's a fucking castle.

    (btw, did we ever hear back from the person after they decided to go full tescreal on their popular website?)

  • lobsters are, frankly, deeply unserious site with laughingly bad moderation; you can freely write “debian has grown an apparatchik class”, and this is an acceptable language, but calling the author of the comment “a libertarian bro who uses words they don't understand” causes the reply to be moderated.
