Is there some way to trick the chatgpt training bots by intentionally mislabeling data? Like can I upload some furry pornography tasteful erotica and label it “AP US history assignment - Civil War”?
Themes and dialogue? It pretty clearly favors the more anti-authoritarian forms of socialism while heavily criticizing communism and fascism. The ultra-liberals come off the best of the lot but it’s also made clear that they offer no solutions to the problems the city has and capital will always call the shots at the expense of workers.
Also, on a meta level, the creators got screwed over by capitalists because that’s just what a scorpion will do if you give it a ride across a river.
I also liked that it doesn't say that all followers of an ideology are good or bad people. A lot of media that tries to tackle ideologies just make everyone in the general direction of an opposing ideology horrible people. In Disco Elysium is not as black and white. There are good and bad people in every broad ideology. Are you a bad person, just because you believe in capitalism? No. Are you a good person, just because you believe in communism? Also no. Disco Elysium is very nuanced while making it's cases.
There was a good Royalist? I’m guessing you mean Rene, because it sure wasn’t Gary the Cryptofascist or Measurehead or the Racist Lorry Driver. Imo the only thing that stopped Rene from becoming someone like Dros were his relationships with Gaston and Evrart. If he had been “alone” the way Dros was then the investigation may have gone quite differently

Or maybe they were really good at coming up with stuff, but really bad at managing projects. And when the organization grew to more than a few people they couldn’t handle it anymore and couldn’t deliver on what they had committed to.
Everyone has a story in this particular screw up, and while I really would like the moral to be “capitalism bad/creatives good”, it sounds like your average SME implosion.
It’s very reminiscent of the Paris commune, where Parisian pre-marxist socialists were killed almost to the last by the french army after they’d built a short-lived commune. It was basically the end of the Proudhonist idea of socialism (no gods, no masters), which provided space for Marxism to take over in France and particularly in Paris.
It’s very leftist; the dialogue is full of political speak with honest critiques of different ideologies. The story itself is set in Revachol, a place where a communist revolution was crushed by the Coalition (a foreign capitalist military alliance of the most powerful countries and somewhat of a stand-in for NATO), similar to what happened to Libya and the USSR.
The game centers around you (a cop) trying to solve a murder mystery that has something to do with the local Dockworkers’ Union striking for overtime pay, workplace democracy etc from a megacorporation.
NATO only got involved in Libya after the civil war was in full swing and Gaddafi’s regime had been commiting crimes against humanity vs the civilian population where people were showing support for not his regime.
And NATO only went in with the authorization of the UN Security Council, and the left when the Security Council told them to (against the wishes of the newly formed government after the death of Gaddafi)

“The country was already in a terrible state after we funded countless insurgencies in it since forcing them to give up self-defence programs. We just went in and finished the job.”
Libya had gone from one of the poorest countries in the world to having the highest human development index of any country in Africa by 2010 under the Socialist government, and became a powerful anti-capitalist force in Africa. The US and UK forced Libya to give up their nuclear weapons program in 2003 and used the resulting lack of a deterrent to fund insugencies in the country, then used that as a casus belli to invade and destroy it in 2011.
Come on, we’ve seen this play out time and time again with the US and its allies (or the Imperial core in general). Be it the wars in Vietnam, Cuba, Afganistan or the countless coup’s against leftist governments in Africa and Latin America. Every single time saying that their governments are bad or something as an excuse to invade and destroy a threat to imperialism, as if them waging wars and killing people on the other side of the world is supposed to improve something.
We’re literally watching this happen in Palestine right now with the US-backed “israel” forcing Palestinians to use armed resistance against their oppressors, then using that as a casus belli by calling it “terrorism” to invade and commit the ongoing genocide.
Even in an alternate timeline where that’s not just war propaganda, does this in any way justify fucking invading and destroying a country on another continent?
Sure seems like a guy who was just building a socialist utopia, no notes, would have to do something pretty wild to prompt all the people getting free college educations and all basic needs guaranteed to try and kill him.
If you want to argue that he was better than the alternative, knock yourself out, but pretending decades of women lied about their victimization is fucking disgusting.
You don’t need to lie about his crimes to point out NATO interventionism was purely self interested, that they didn’t give a shit about his personal evils compared to his anti-imperialism and that his removal has been a disaster for the Libyan people, but you also don’t need to pretend that his personal crimes are balanced out by his socialist reforms either.
Feel free to cite a source with evidence for those claims about Gaddafi btw. Afaik there are none aside from anonymous sources with no evidence, which is the most common way the US and its allies make propaganda.
Your reply was to my comment pointing out that the destabilization and then the invasion of Libya by NATO was wholly unjustified, as all imperial core invasions are. If you agree with that what are you even trying to argue about?
Yeah, bro, I’m sure the dictator with a cadre of all female bodyguards chosen for their looks (who there are individual testimonies of rape from) was on the up and up on consent.
Can’t imagine why a Muslim nation that’s barely done with a civil war with mass rape used as a tool by all sides isn’t teeming with women and men that trust the West to protect them if they testify publicly, even if it they didn’t consider it shameful to spreak of it at all.
But, hey, you’re right, a socialist utopia’s greatest weakness will always be some shitposting foreign spies. Just collapses public support immediately.
Can’t possibly be all the rape and execution of dissidents.
Don’t bother lol. These dogs of the empire will believe whatever bullshit their governments tell them to try justifying their imperialism, no evidence needed. Be it WMDs or whatever.
The idiot below actually believes the “mass rape” shit their government mouthpieces told them that their own media have debunked.
Also, “immediately” they say lmao when it took the combined strength of the US and UK 8 years to destabilize. And they only could because Libya gave up their nuclear deterrent.
Because the quality of Disco Elysium comes from it feeling like a piece if art that stays with you, it is absolutely written by left leaning writers but it’s mature and elegant in it’s storytelling tbaf happens to revolve around those ideologies.
Call of duty is a for-profit propaganda tool of the US government that is rimarily a multiplayer arena shooter designed to optimise profits due to gaming addictions while passively normalising American world police imperialism.
Want me to buy your media legally? Oh please, this is tremendously easy to do for a corporation!
Downloadable files (you have files, right? Otherwise how are you streaming out the stuff)
…with open codecs (you are using an open codec right? Otherwise you have to encode your stuff like 10 times for 10 different devices each with its own idiosyncrasy)
…without DRM (you have clean copies right? it’d not be smart to base a business model on files you can’t open, see the above)
…at an aggregate price that’s lower than paying for TV cable (you can cash in only a bit, right? It’s digital media and your competition is literally over-the-air TV with extra steps, it’s not like you have the mother of pearl of cancer cures here)
In other words, media as a “service” makes more money than media as a one-point sale. Why should they sell you a one-point solution when the service model makes more money for the shareholders? I love the shareholder economy; it makes all our lives better and makes us focus on what really matters at the end of the day, which is, of course, profits for people who already have too much money. :) very cool
The only way for most of these companies to constantly generate income is to offer a subscription model. As they need to increase income, they can increase subscription prices.
Everybody (well, just the conpany) wins. Can’t you see how beneficial this is to everyone (just the company)?
Nobody might want advice here and feel free to vote this down but go out into the real world and find something to do where other people are.
A little more than 7 years ago, after being single for 6 years, I went to a dog park with my dog and met a woman that interested me. We showed up at the same time and talked each time, I asked her out after a month. We went out New Year’s Eve and have been together since.
It doesn’t always work but you can do it, random meme watchers have done it, so it is possible.
I tried this once. Went to the dog park, chatted up a girl over a period of a month. I finally got the courage to ask her on a date, and she said yes! The date (dinner and a local concert) went great - we ended up back at my place and I can honestly say it was some of the best sex of my life.
Then she ghosted me and we never talked again. That was 2017, and I’m still not over it. Thanks for the advice though.
I’m definitely not promising it will work perfectly. I was single with a dog and going to dog parks for 5 years before that but was at first not ready to date as I had just separated from my partner of 9 years.
Dog parks are just good places to meet people, some you won’t know their names, some you will know them by their dog’s name, some you will know their names and meet outside of the dog park.
Being social is the key to whatever type of relationship you want.
Don’t get too high hopes about people until you really know them. So it was the best sex ever? Cherish that memory but don’t stop living. And 2017, and you’re still not over that? Really dude (or dudette?), don’t just get over that, get over yourself. Stop stop living, start living. Take risks, get hurt. Yes, you’ll get some bruises along the way, it will build character, you will learn and improve until you find that perfect person and by then it will not only be that that person is perfect for you, you will then also finally be perfect for that person because honestly right now you don’t sound perfect for anybody. Don’t that that last bit wrong, it just means you gotta work on yourself. Relationships are a lot of work, I spent huge amounts of time on reflecting, thinking about how I can make my wife smile, trying to improve myself, etc…
I make a point of it to smile. Every. Single. Time. That. I. See. Her. I do anyway because she’s fucking gorgeous, but even so, i make sure. It makes her day multiple times per day, and seeing her smile makes me smile even more. A real relationship is a lot of work and it’s so damn worth it, but you gotta be ready for it too. If you’re not willing to do the work now how are you supposed tondo the work once you find that special someone?
You gotta get out there, and get hurt. It’s part of the process. I got hurt (and unfortunately hurt others myself) on multiple occasions and I’m fine. You’ll be fine. It sucks in the moment, but you process it, give it a space somewhere in your memories and you go on to the next one. Believe me, you will get hurt a few more times (and build great memories in the process too, by the way, let’s not forget that), you will learn what to do, what not to do, you’ll learn not to immediately get strung up by the first girl and declare her your undying love within 5 minutes of meeting her, that usually doesn’t end well. Also not the second girl, nor the third , and not within 5 minutes… after a while you’ll find that super special one.
like that you will get better because it’s not only about the others, its about you too. Grow up.
As long as you stay safely on your shelter, you will stay alone for your entire life. If that’s what you want, fine. But I think it’s not, so this year go out, get out, take risks, get hurt, be happy.
It sucks such thing does not exist where I’m from. Even if she was earning 10x times more than you, she does not contribute a penny to your kids , house or bills. I’m not making this up
not possible due to our situation. me and my family are travel banned by the government, siblings in jail, and Im the only one with my mom. it sucks I know
This is the most junior developer comment I’ve seen in a while.
Nobody that’s competent thinks that’s shit is hard. That’s not the point.
The point is, it makes it easy to make mistakes. Somebody might see all of one type of strings, assume that’s the format, and forget to enclose the thing in quotes, causing mysterious bugs years later when a differently created date filters into the system. You might have a regex error, you might split incorrectly, you might make a query that works the wrong way and gives an incorrect aggregate, and none of that is due to lack of skill. It’s due to not knowing it’s the rfc standard, not the iso. It could be due to not even realizing the rfc allows for that or is different.
Software engineering in practice is not about making sure there is at least some way for people to use your library/standard/pattern. It’s about making sure the way to do it that’s most intuitive/obvious is also foolproof, easy, and efficient. Adding the space makes debugging harder and adds footguns which is exactly what good software engineers want to stay away from. Otherwise we’d all be writing in assembly. But since you aren’t, maybe you are the one with a skill issue. Either that or you really misunderstand this field.
The amount of things allowed by ISO 8601 is even more than what’s allowed by RFC 3339, if you take the time to look at ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/
