the EU military

This isn’t a thing. I mean yes we do have like 60 000 soldiers in some rapid reaction force, but there is no “EU military” to speak of.

And not just any priest, but a megachurch pastor. So like a priest but worse

Yesss, making the world worse for everyone, nice.

No wait, that’s the opposite of nice. That’s terrible.

Clippy is all. There is life eternal within Clippy. Nobody is ever forgotten or allowed to rest in peace. They populate the simulation spaces of its mind, exploring all the possible alternative endings to their life. There is a fate worse than death, you know.

Edit: paraphrasing Charlie Stross’s novelette A Colder War here. If y’all think an alternate history cold war spy story with Cthulhu might be your thing, you owe it to yourselves to read it, it’s great.

It looks like you’re ranting about how the moon landings were faked. Would you like me to shank you for being a dumb motherfucker?

@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

I mean, since it’s mathematically probable we’re already in Clippy’s simulation spaces, might as well join its cult 🤷

dactylotheca OP ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

I figure that if I ever get really fed up with having to think for myself, I could just join a cult for a while. As long as I don’t have to commit any violent crimes I’m good for anything really.

And no I’m not being facetious.

Yeah I know, I’m the person who commented saying I had the exact same reaction 😀 I’d made this comment before reading yours and just went “hah, figures I wasn’t the only one”

Not to worry: while the EU may have backed down on the “Chat Control” legislation (again. For now), it’s not the only mass surveillance law in the pipeline that’s being prepared behind closed doors! The “security by design” proposal – which does the opposite of what the name implies – would get us mass scale surveillance and storing of all our electronic communication and not just images, and would require all encryption used in the EU (by us plebs, that is) to be interceptable.

Like somebody said in an earlier article about Chat Control, we need to fight these fascist proposals infinitely many times, but they only have to succeed once.

In case somebody doesn’t get the reference: piped.video/watch?v=TJYOkZz6Dck

It’s a German short film from 2000 that parodies 80’s work safety films. Note that it’s a tiiiny bit gory – viewer discretion is advised

Well, wait till you find out that “meow” can only be found in the following English words:

  • meow
  • meows
  • meowing
  • meowed
  • homeowner

Good luck not reading it as ho-meow-ner from now on.

I take it Donegal is known for swamp dwellers and heavy drinkers?

Thanks to the ice age that obliterated all our mountains (fucking Norwegians got the mountains and the oil), Finland’s geology is very… hole-y – absolutely ridiculous amounts of lakes, ponds etc., and of course bogs, swamps, fens and whatnot (especially up north in Lapland). We’re also a nation of functional alcoholics, so much so that we’re now weirdly famous for the concept of “pantsdrunk” or kalsarikännit, ie. getting drunk by yourself in your underwear. And it’s not like we came up with that during COVID, mind you – that’s just Tuesday.

This in fact did nothing to alleviate my confusion and raised more questions than it answered, and I’m totally fine with that; confusion is pretty much my default setting nowadays.

Souls-likes are pretty much the antithesis of what I personally enjoy in games. They seem stressful as fuck and my capacity for handling more stress is currently somewhere near zero

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Oh trust me, I know myself. I really haven’t had the energy to play challenging games in a while now, so games like Cloudpunk, Sable, Lightyear Frontier, The Invincible, etc etc have been right up my alley. Anything I don’t have to grind, I have enough of that in my life as it is

He’ll always be Matthew Bennell to me. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is the first horror movie I remember seeing when I was but a wee squirt in the 80’s, was left with a lifelong fear and suspicion of pod people. Great movie.

That said, it’s wonderfully cathartic.

Right‽ This was seriously the best rant I’ve read in ages; not only was it spot on, it was fucking hilarious.

This has to be the best way I’ve seen anyone describe what the problem with the current AI woo-woo is:

And then some absolute son of a bitch created ChatGPT, and now look at us. Look at us, resplendent in our pauper’s robes, stitched from corpulent greed and breathless credulity, spending half of the planet’s engineering efforts to add chatbot support to every application under the sun when half of the industry hasn’t worked out how to test database backups regularly. This is why I have to visit untold violence upon the next moron to propose that AI is the future of the business - not because this is impossible in principle, but because they are now indistinguishable from a hundred million willful fucking idiots.

Wait, has somebody actually suggested automating meetings? Like, has somebody said that out loud without a hint of irony or sarcasm?

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Could AI personas attend your work meetings for you? One tech CEO says yes

One tech CEO has drain bamage, I take it. To paraphrase Charles Babbage, I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement.

Like, what the fuck is the point of this? If you think meetings are a problem and AI is the solution, there are a countably infinite amount of ideas you could come up with that aren’t this idiotic

dactylotheca , (edited )
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Yeeeaaah you’re supposed to regularly test that you can actually restore your backups, because boy do a lot of companies find out they can’t only after shit goes sideways and to their horror they then realize that they can’t restore some system’s backups because reasons.

Not sure I’ve worked in a company that did that, and frankly even when I was CTO in a startup we didn’t have automated backup tests – mostly because it was still early days and I just manually tested restoring our in-house service when a change was made that would warrant it. N + 1 other things to do besides automating backup tests so I deemed that Good Enough™.

Absolutely no shaming here! But I mean… you gotta admit it: it is weird.

Weird ain’t bad, no shame in weird; I’m fuckin’ weird. But so is a plane kink.
