  • A 'death cult' on the run: The Bay Area fringe group terrorizing America

  • Ziz was found to be very much alive a year later when they were arrested in Pennsylvania in connection with the killings of Richard and Rita Zajko, the parents of another Zizian, Michelle Zajko. During a search of a hotel room in Chester City, Pennsylvania, where Michelle Zajko was staying, Ziz was found lying on the floor. They refused to move, open their eyes or speak, the arresting officer said. Ziz was charged with obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct and eventually released on bail after five months in jail.

  • This is the time I for collective action. Refuse to shut it down, go back to work, call a wildcat strike if needed and shut the area down. Relying on the captured courts is a losing proposition.

  • Where do we really stand on supporting reddit migration? We want to get people off corporate social media right?

  • What's something you enjoy eating that other people think is super weird?

  • Yes yes, I know. I don't eat kilos of the things, just a few pieces of while I'm cleaning them.

  • The problem is that the "train of the thought" is also hallucinations. It might make the model better with more compute but it's diminishing rewards.

    Rpg can use the llms because they're not critical. If the llm spews out nonsense you don't like, you just ask to redo, because it's all subjective.

  • As always, never rely on llms for anything factual. They're only good with things which have a massive acceptance for error, such as entertainment (eg rpgs)

  • NGL, this kind of form of putting the decisions the monkey-in-charge is making in a way experts in a field will understand, is a very good way to showcase the absurdity.

  • Yes they're cleaning random people's hoarder level houses for fun

    But I see you're down too childish insults which is par for the course for the right-wing libertarian brain

  • Sorry, this is honestly the type of sentence that I can only expect to come from a basement-dwelling teenager.

    Did you really have to write that? What did you aim to accomplish with it?

    Money != Capitalism. Also, I dare you to find one single economist in the world that can claim that a barter-based system can develop a global economy as wealthy and developed as ours.

    Who said anything about barter? Also most economists are just glorified paid apologists of the status-quo at best, of techno-fascism at worst.

    Again, "Money != Capitalism".

    You cannot have capitalism without money. While you can have socialism with money, I doubt Mutualism (or monarchies) is what you're thinking of either.

    Besides that, "Capitalism" (to which I think you really mean "profit motive") is not the problem. I can bet that even your anarchist utopia where people "mutually help each other" would end up relying on some form of monetary-based system to make resource allocation fair and predictable.

    You'd lose.

    Nothing has been found to be a better and fairer driver of social and economic development as free trade. We don't need to throw away the baby with the bathwater. There is nothing immoral about the profit motive.

    Literally on the brink of climate collapse and with multiple fascist parties on the rise and you still gargle the delusions of "free trade" that never existed. There's everything immoral with the profit motive. In fact, you incessant drive for profit on the fediverse is what alienates people towards you.

    Corporativism is the problem. Globalism is the problem. This is the thing that we should be fighting against, and not making villains out of someone that just wants to make a living out of a fair business offer.

    Corporations and globalization, monopolies and monopolies re the natural evolution of "free trade" and capitalism. I will never support what you're trying to achieve and will agitate against it from every angle. Make of this situation what you will.

  • People also need phone service, drinking water and energy to heat their homes, etc. Are we just going to keep expecting that someone should do this work for free to them?

    As an anarchist, that's what I'm driving for, yes. And they would be giving their effort back for free as well

    No, they won't. But some of them will pay $30/year (like they are paying me) and I'm sure that I can could serve 10000 users at this price point.

    OK that's what I'm doing as well, only it's donations and not payment for a service? Like I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here if paying customers would subsidize non paying ones.

    If I'm being completely honest with you, anyone that subsidizes the real cost for the users - whether is Big Tech offering free services and making money on ads or a bunch of idealistic kids running servers for people they don't really know - are effectively making the open web less sustainable.

    No, they make the open web possible. We can't get out of this situation we're in by trying to squeeze the last bit of disposable income from people for the social media. We'll get out of it by proving that we can handle this through mutual aid without any money in the process.

    Talk real numbers

    Nobody can speculate those numbers. We're in uncharted territory. I'm down to experiment.

    But it is delusional to think that this alone will be ever be able to make a dent in the overall system.

    Whats delusional is thinking that doing the same Ole Capitalism will change they capitalist system it's delusional to think that keeping money involved would mean anything else than those with the most money will win always.

  • Why? What is the moral imperative here? Why do you have to do it?

    Because people need social media and we need a way out of the centralized ones and most people just won't pay 10 for a reddit alternative.

    Sure, if you don't care about any meaningful impact and just treat it as a glorified hobby.

    I believe managing to draw people away for explored walled gardens into a system controlled by the community will have massive impact
