You guys lag behind in this sorta shit, I’ll have time to figure out somewhere else safe in the meantime.

I’m not living in a place that will likely punish me for the type of medicine i take and also restricts my access to get it outside of the system.

Ill throw my data on an offshore vps, load my lappy up with a dummy normal looking win 11 install, and drive my ass across to Canada if it keeps getting worse.

Fuck that.

Yeah its not the minimalist distros were all used to running but it still is a Unix OS with root privileges no?

Either way its the dudes work PC, probably doesn’t have a choice.

If a straight guy said this I’d agree but considering where we are and the way its worded that’s almost definitely sapphic and T4T.

Meaning there was probably at least two or three 8 hour discord calls that involved lots of oversharing trauma beforehand.

The (non-financial) crime is the best part.

I love taking estrogen I bought offa onion sites :)

No they’re right, Bethesda’s technical team is on crack and needs to fuck off next door to IDtech and ask them nicely how to make a real engine.

Tbf if its booting from ROM and doing the same job its not going to degrade.

Graphics cards from 20 years ago will still play 20 year old games just fine, its not like that computers job is gonna change anytime soon.

I get writing boilerplate and unit tests can probably be done by software well enough, at least when supervised.

Ill be honest, that’s not even my real issue.

My real issue is that programming, devops, systems administration. All of these things are art forms, every bit of them. From high-level application architecture down to the tiniest details of implementation.

Like how much of a library you choose to include, what you name your variables, what type of loops you use to iterate through data. How you choose to format and comment your code.

Giving these choices to the machine is like the painter giving their brush to it.

Just like images generated by stable diffusion will never be worth their fully-human painted equivalent. So too will LLM-developed programs fail to hold that value.

For what its worth, this isnt new. I’ve held contempt for VC-worshipping developers who see programming as a means to an end far longer than LLMs have been used for serious work.

Imagine letting an entertainment product write your code for you. Why the fuck are you doing this if you don’t even like the act of programming?

Who says you have to age out?

That and exposing your lungs to the products of combustion regularly.

I’m surprised no one else has answered mediawiki. Love my mediawiki instance.

Yeah as someone who does both ansible is for repeatable multi-system commands like telling everything to update or configuring a local agent on every machine at once.

Cross dressing isn’t even inherintly a kink.

Either way its easy to shame them for being hypocrites and pieces of shit so ¯\(ツ)/¯

Its funny because the part of you that gets reincarnated isn’t your soul its the matter/energy from your body. Law of Conservation of energy and all.

Microsoft is already making use of more AI, and bug reports aren’t code?

No you’re right. I’m the perpetrator. I asked my awful fucking government run by pedophiles I totally approve of to do that. I totally want that instead of healthcare and basic human rights.

Its almost like if you’re not part of a small club of old kiddie fuckers or their direct lackeys, you’re getting fucked too.

There isn’t ‘a victim’ of these people. There’s fucking hundreds of millions if not billions us, and even more who are dead.

What do you want? Me to uselessly martyr myself so they’ll be another “stupid dangerous tranny” on the news for a week for people use against us before forgetting it happened?

What? What more is it you want me to fucking do? Wave my magic american wand that makes my government stop being run by garbage?

Yeal well seriously, tomorrow the nazis are marching in my city near me, and I will be there. They want to remigrate my family. I don’t need 5 VPNs, i need to leave my phone at home and physically go there.

Your medicine you need to live isn’t actively being made illegal. The FDA is already being petitioned to make lists of us. There prepping to fucking camp us. This isn’t something I need to protest its something Im going to need to live.

But quit thinking of yourself as the main victim when your country’s bombing people for breakfast.

Did I say I was?

So less voting and more doing, chopchop.

Read the previous comment and try again.

Sorry friend im not your enemy

No, but this holier than thou attitude like you’re the only one willing to do something is obnoxious.

As someone who’s working on starting a diyhrt homebrew and joining the SRA: unless you’ve lived through the rise of fascism stfu, chances are if you lived here you’d be doin jack shit too.

Fascism/late stage capitalism is exhausting by design. If I didn’t spend the past decade removing corporate software from my computers I don’t even know how I’d be comfortable doing any of this safely

Proper privacy in today’s day in age requires, at least, an understanding of Linux systems administration/, basic network architecture, and virtualization.

That’s before we talk about neutralizing ME.

If you’re not splitting your identities/footprint across several permanent and burner VM’s w/ different public IP’s you’re probably doing it wrong.

How is that reasonable to expect out of the average person?

Poor choices can lead to getting you stabbed but that isn’t the only way.
