Peak humans? The best we have to offer?

Or my coworkers?

Well, it's just a rephrasing of "I don't share this experience at all."

And it's an easy explanation for why one person can be getting "confidently wrong" results still, and another person hasn't experienced it in a long time.

I'm one who hasn't experienced it lately. I haven't even thought about it in quite some time. Maybe a domain thing, maybe I'm not doing fancy enough work, maybe that guy is using some shitty model.

Move somewhere it's not a crime. Bingo bango.

Well, some portion of it was just served to you over HTTP.

It's very likely that your agents can just build the rest, if the backend source isn't provided.

> Media, journalism & propaganda

Amen, we should label it correctly more often. Hard to miss it nowadays, I guess.

> I don't think this a youth thing that "people outgrow",

Totally agree. Also, we're applying western ethics to the third world.

They don't share our values on IP, I assure you.

Maybe in theory.

In practice, I bet it matters a lot.

That's not gonna happen.

If one side shuts the other out of power, that's when we'll finally get the civil war many have been predicting for a long time.

Hopefully the framework to limit power can stay in place, in spite of all the calls to change it, abolish the senate, pack the court, make sure to punish/"hold accountable" red voters, etc.

It's largely self-moderating

Don't know what this means, gonna keep it that way.

So last election, Kamala Harris was the platform of abolishing democracy?

Or, alternatively, did we cease to have a democracy?

It's hard to discern detail with your eyes closed.

Yes, the guy I responded to is using "intolerance" to describe the users using/wanting rumble.

I responded with heavy sarcasm, because i don't think people who redefine words & describe things in outlandish terms are arguing in good faith, so I prefer to tell them I agree, and restate their outlandish claim.

You're now here to police me based on our other interaction, and your misunderstanding of my positions.

Re:OBS Studio 33 on Saturday October 24, 2026 @12:56PM (#50223057)
yes, using rumble is intolerance
No, that's not what it's opposed to.

There's a vast ocean of middle ground.

Re:Is AI just another get rich quick scheme? on Saturday October 24, 2026 @12:09PM (#50222643)
Are shovels just another get rich quick scheme? If they were really all that, they wouldn't be selling shovels to the public. They would be forming corporate partnerships, digging dirt and conquering markets--starting with the mining industry.
Re:OBS Studio 33 on Saturday October 24, 2026 @12:07PM (#50222626)
yes, that exactly

I was specifically talking about OBS' decision to restrict where their users can stream to, so I'm not sure what you think it is I'm completely unaware of.

I just made his quote read more accurately.

Sure, but arch notoriously is very small, I'm not sure how you can really configure it that poorly at the install level.

What makes the bash scripts crappy, etc?

I asked what it's good at, too, didn't literally contain that critique.

Re:OBS Studio 33 on Saturday October 24, 2026 @11:34AM (#50222273)
do you have any non-political / demographical arguments against omarchy?

what is it good at, what is it bad at?

> It feels like a red flag when a distro rejects software simply because it makes political decisions on behalf of the users

Fixed that for you.

Shall they pay themselves for their own trees?
You cannot disobey the bureaucrats. Only they may say what you can do, and when you can do it.
Actually getting away from everyone isn't expensive (in the US anyway).

It's expensive only if you want to feel like you're away from everyone, but actually stay very near to everyone.

You can buy a decent acreage (30-80 acres) for less than a new truck.

I'm the combo. I feel like you, and I live in the forest.

I feel better-prepared for this than almost anyone. I have everything I need, I can work with my hands, I can build any software I need, I own my own business for 16 years. I have a 38 acres of forest and game, a big garden. I'm a generalist, born in the perfect year to understand how computers actually work, remember DOS, remember before 9/11.

I've never been more excited about the world, and I have never felt I could have this much power (without great wealth) as an individual. I can't wait for robotics to land in similar fashion. I hope biomedical advances can keep my folks alive until we beat this game.

What are the other must-have privacy-respecting apps?
7 is an easy check, not because i did them up to 13.

because 10x7 = 70, i'm left with 21. everyone knows 21 is divisible by 7.

Re:Open-source, cross-harness memory for AI agents on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @03:14PM (#50186044)
Yeah, I guess now that you mention it, skill files are, in fact, cross-harness memory.
