One of the millions of Ukranians in the Red Army who fought against the Nazis

Compared to them, the Banderites and other collaborators are barely a statistical blip.

God damnit, Linux is too mainstream now. Time to switch to FreeBSD.

Then again, all of the cartoons for DC are great, but all of the movies for DC are awful, so maybe an anime is the way to go.

Scientists estimate this will lead to 6 million more people dying of tuberculosis over the next four years

That’s literally an entire Holocaust. It’s not like I’m surprised but god damn the only difference between the 20th century fascists and modern western countries is that we have the thinnest veneer of deniability between us and the murders.

| RHETORIC – Impossible: Convince a Large Language Model to exceed itself. |

If you fail, you just get a bit about how what you want is impossible.

If you succeed, you get a fork where ChatGPT actually manages to write something really coherent and meaningful - and then in a future conversation you get served a notice that you’re being sued for plagiarism.

I also love how those comments are all talking about voting styles as though that will be the thing that fixes western democracy. I got caught up in that particular bit of wonkery for a long time too, feels nostalgic.

I think there’s something inherently awful about being in traffic that can make people go temporarily insane - but getting out of your car seems like you’re inviting the person you’re beefing with to run you over, so that’s an especially bad idea.

Yes and even if it didn’t if you lived in a good enough area for it it would also reduce your own utility bills which is nice - but of course the biggest polluters by far are things we can’t even touch through individual action, like the military, oil drilling etc.

The way she’s doing multiple things at once reminds me of “sludge content”, the TikTok trend where you have multiple videos on screen at once in order to maximize engagement in the most ADHD way possible.

I’ve used a Google phone for the last couple that I’ve bought and been pretty happy with it, a last-generation one would still be really slick and pretty cheap but the flagship ones are great. I really wish there was a full-keyboard phone like the old Motorola Droids, which remains my favorite phone form factor ever, but sadly all of the options out there are either ancient, really sketchy quality, or big enough to be a small laptop.
