> including a scheme to break up into three parts
Why do they even keep repeating this bullshit? No one but Russia wants a part of Ukraine — they've been repeating it again and again for years, including stating that Poland is willing to claim some part, but I've never seen any Poland official ever make such a claim 🤦

Looks organic, iHerb is faithful to its brand 😹

@samhainnight @kevinrothrock
At least this enables them to report low unemployment rate. Coupled with generous resources funneled into the military-industrial complex, which would be considered money sent down the drain in any healthy economy, but which enables them to report GDP growth — it confuses economists who only look at the numbers.
Nabiullina of course knows that these numbers don't mean shit in the type of economy she's dealing with and her responsibility is tackling the inflation.

Does he want it monogendered? 😏
Dudaev the lesboseparatist! 🤣

I am a programmer in the year 2024 who doesn't use AI.

I'm not even curious about it.

It's not just the mistakes. Hallucinations. Artificial confidence.

It's not just the unconscionable energy use. Laundering and reinforcement of historical biases. Ripoff of creative works. Exploited workers. Scams. Bots. Political propaganda. Mass surveillance to train the beast. And this is just off the top of my head here.

@sunfish
I do understand how neural networks can be applicable as a "unit" you can use in your software as it is with OCR for example (also the data used to train it wouldn't be random in this case), but when you use the neural network to design the "control unit" itself — it is, like I said, complete loss of said control.

@sunfish
For me it's also the complete loss of control — systems can be insanely complex, but it would still not impossible to figure out how it works, given necessary time, but neural network is something infinitely complex, not cleated consciously, but by feeding it amounts of data that are even hard to measure, without making conscise choices about what data it is and without understanding how every piece of that data changes it.

@iska
Did you know? 💡

By the standards of Russian XVIII century political police you would be considered insane 😹

Good! But I think it somehow shifts the responsibility for what the Web has become with Chrome, but that's (at least partially) unfair 😅

Я уже давно только по названию учётки понимаю, что новость не настоящая 😨

@davoloid
I think modern Gopherspace (which somehow survived) and Geminispace are in a way reincarnation of that culture — I see people even experimenting making interactive games, and I've seen Geminicapsule designed as a piece of interactive fiction using hyperlinks, you don't see stuff like that often in Webspace anymore — it's too vast to find something interesting and too commercialised.

@davoloid
Yeah, dial-up BB systems I had frequented had some card games and text mini quests, some systems even had specialised GUI software that you had to use to access that BBS instead of terminal, it was almost Web-like 🤩
But then people somehow transitioned to FidoNet and later to Internet and the Web, the culture died out. TBH I didn't even see Gopher being used in my early Internet days — I knew that the protocol existed, but I didn't even know what it's for 😅

@ConnyDuck @trwnh
> you need to find the url and copy paste it somewhere
It can be solved client-side, I think that is what Tusky and by extension Husky do — if it looks like a link to a Fedi post, it goes to that post instead of opening the link in external browser.
As for quote posts — IMO they should give more context than link previews, in Pleroma the quoted posts are just displayed in full, unlike link previews in Masto.

@davoloid
I see, it recreates the things specific to that BBS faithfully. Nostalgia value.
In my dialup-modem-BBS days the modems were already more performant and ANSI art was quite widespread, gomphotherium displaying images using blocks and ANSI sequences for colour kinda reminds me of that — that's why I mentioned it.

@davoloid
Quite common these days: some instances block other instances 😩
It about the lack for emoji reaction support in tut and my reply about it being trivial to add.
