was having that exact conversation with a buddy yesterday, he figures we’ll see the first attempt this year.
I personally don’t think you can have a romantic relationship with a thing you created. romance is about discovering, learning and growing with someone else. When that else is a manifestation of yourself, it’s ultimately masturbation.
I love it when a brief comment just strips all the arguments to their core. This is exactly it. I’d say he was looking for a companion, but folks don’t create companions to be equals, they create them to control them.
This is just a really fancy, incredibly power hungry sextoy, isn’t it?
I too have been to Jamaica. That second bite of brownie was an experience.
It’s like a weekly headline in the good ol usa. Type “toddler shoots” in any search engine and get dozens of similar headlines.

And it’s all part of ai training data now too.
I used to wonder when I watched “Star Trek TNG” as a kid, how they could ask for and get such detailed biographical information of a long dead person, enough to recreate that person convincingly, in a holodeck. Well, I guess I have my answer.
I really thought I’d be living in something like the federation one day, instead I’m here boning up on the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.
I haven’t been on facebook in like 10 years, but sounds like it’s exactly as I picture it.
Boys can also develop negative images of themselves, they are actively preyed upon as well. There are different sets of challenges for the genders, but they are there for both.
I don’t have girls so it’s hard to say. But I do work to make sure they understand that people that come for them, are only saying something about themselves. We work hard to make sure they know the difference between online abusive drama and reality and help them choose spaces that are positive.
Same as always, better parenting.
My three boys don’t have filters on the internet, instead of blocking them from the world, I raised them in it.
As a working dad with kids, I like my doorbell cam. My self hosted, non-cloud, local only doorbell cam that is.
My f’ing camera feeds are mine.
Honestly, your quick and clear reply is very cathartic. That’s why I prefer Lemmy to my family :).
This is the hardest part. I am trying to let go of my anger as they slowly start to notice and pretend like either no one could have seen this coming, or they were against it all along.
If one single person in my sphere ever just came to me and said “I guess you were right” that would do so much for my mental health. But I need to get past that, and just be happy they finally are coming around.
I am exceptionally bitter seeing some of my formerly maga associates, getting heaps of praise for waking up while the same assholes praising them, were the ones telling me I’m the crazy one. Clearly still have anger to let go of…
You and me both buddy. It sucks seeing all this shit so plainly unfold, only to have what I thought was normal people not just ignore it, but get angry with me for trying to point it out.
Ran across this lately. I guess you can start calling me Cassandra:

People should think about a NASS or Home servers like they do about owning a vehicle.
I wholeheartedly agree. Hell, home server/nas should be more common than cars, I don’t drive every day, but my data is used every minute of every day.
Why it was funny in the first place. I knew I was messing with the best.
I swear on my life this happened to me but I don’t care if you believe me or not.
This goes back some years, back when the ping of death was still a thing. I used to hang out in IRC channels and someone decided they needed to show me what a real hacker could do. The dork asked for my IP which was hilarious to begin with, so I replied “127.0.0.1”. About 2 seconds later I see them disconnect from IRC.
A minute goes by and they are back online, spitting mad. Tells me i’m lucky their computer crashed but I’d better get ready…and disconnected again.
Back again and folks are dying laughing thanks to my 1337 teenage hacker skills but eventually someone spills that 127.0.0.1 is localhost. Instantly I’m talking to zero cool again and was too scared to give out my actual address. Being a hardened nerd, this time I complied.
I was on slackware and had already figured out their game from the get go; oh and I actually knew how to find an IP. So right in the middle of this future titan of industry’s insults and threats…they disconnect one last time. 😎
Nope, nothing useful. Right now I am playing with making some skills to do some rudimentary network testing. I figure it’s always nice to have a remote system to ping or nslookup or check a website from a remote location. I have it hooked to a telegram bot (burner account and restricted to just me) and I can ask it to ping or get me a screenshot or speedtest, etc. from anything it can reach on the internet.
Only purpose right now is to have something to show off :).
lol, straight from the redundant department of redundancies.
I do words good.
I’m not Christian myself, but he seems like the good kind. I’ve heard people upset with him for going to seminary school, but I am not someone to judge based off their beliefs; I judge actions. I grew up with a lot of very good Christians, I grew up with a lot of very shitty Christian’s. I learned that is the character of the person that matters, and from all I’ve see of Talerico, he seems on the level.
I would love to see some good Christian examples back. If you actually live by the teachings, at least the ones I grew up with (grew up Lutheran), they can be a positive force. But the mainstream, megachurch, chuddy, nationalist version of it that’s taken over this nation is an affront to nearly everything I was taught it stands for. I’m no longer a believer (probably never was), but I still have many positive associations with my former faith. I still know a lot of “normal” Christian’s who hate what is happening. My possibly naive hope is that Talerico can provide that off ramp for some of the other extremism going on in the religious world.
