  • LMAO someone please make that website. Publish all the totally not classified classified stuff that this incompetent administration is going to leak. This definitely won't be the last time it happens.

  • I want to celebrate this, but it's hard not to see it as an attempt at authoritarianism. I think the right way to do a Facebook ban is to ensure people have access to a good alternative (like Mastodon) before pulling the plug.

  • Not true. This lawsuit has been in the works for a long time. IIRC the investigation started towards the end up the first Trump admin, was completed, brought to trial, and won by the Biden admin, and now is being completed under Trump again.

    Don't believe the MAGA lies about government agencies being partisan hacks. They're generally staffed by people who believe in the mission and put that ahead of politics. Under Trump, a lot of good people are leaving, but the ones playing the loyalty game can stay and keep working.

  • Apple seems like the best option due to their business goals (privacy).

    Lol. Lmao, even.

    Sorry for the flippant comment, but it's so incredibly wrong that I need to highlight the ridiculousness. TBF to you, it's a common misconception due to Apple marketing's lies, and our regulatory agencies unable/unwilling to do anything about companies that lie like Apple does.

    Microsoft would be even worse.

    The best outcome IMO is to kill Chrome, Edge, AND Safari, and force users to scatter and find an alternative on their own. There will need to be some way to prevent all big tech from trying to compete here too (Facebook, Amazon, etc), as those are incentivized to monopolize exactly like Google did, and we shouldn't have to wait another 2 decades for the government to do something about it.

    There will be some growing pains as people initially end up on shitty/scammy browsers, but eventually the market will do its thing and browser devs will compete for marketshare.

  • I never got around to using anything except git, partly because of all the hate people would throw at the other competitors back in the day. Even if the criticisms were not fair, and even if it was all a secret conspiracy to kill git competitors, it definitely worked out for the best. Imagine the hell we'd be in today if we had to constantly deal with different VCS solutions.

  • There's nothing 'archaic' about git's CLI. I think you might just be opposed to CLI's in general, which is fine for a regular computer user, but paints a grim picture of your competency if you're a developer.

  • I made a game engine and a game back in highschool, but all that code is lost because I didn't know how to use git. I knew git existed (and even knew enough to know it was better than mercurial or svn), but I was too lazy to learn.

  • The paranoid part of my brain sees things like this as an attempt to piss people off enough to kick off some violent attacks, and give Trump the justification he wants to enact martial law.

  • Are you a software engineer? Without doxxing yourself, do you think you could share some more info or guidance? I've personally been trying to integrate AI code gen into my own work, but haven't had much success.

    I've been able to ask ChatGPT to generate some simple but tedious code that would normally require me read through a bunch of documentation. Usually, that's a third party library or a part of the standard library I'm not familiar with. My work is mostly Python and C++, and I've found that ChatGPT is terrible at C++ and more often than not generates code that doesn't even compile. It is very good at generating Python by comparison, but unfortunately for me, that's only like 10% of my work.

    For C++, I've found it helpful to ask misc questions about the design of the STL or new language features while I'm studying them myself. It's not actually generating any code, but it definitely saves me some time. It's very useful for translating C++'s "standardese" into english, for example. It still struggles generating valid code using C++20 or newer though.

    I also tried a few local models on my GPU, but haven't had good results. I assume it's a problem with the models I used not being optimized for code, or maybe the inference tools I tried weren't using them right (oobabooga, kobold, and some others I don't remember). If you have any recommendations for good coding models I can run locally on a 4090, I'd love to hear them!

    I tried using a few of those AI code editors (mostly VS Code plugins) years ago, and they really sucked. I'm sure things have improved since then, so maybe that's the way to go?

  • 'Dictator s**t': Trump's middle-of-the-night meltdown nulling Biden pardons is slammed

  • This is the oath presidents must make before exercising any official powers or duties:

    I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

    He has been very obviously doing the complete opposite of that. The GOP has some pretty flexible mental gymnasts in their circus, but I don't think even they will be able to dodge this one.

    My understanding of the supreme court ruling was that he has immunity only for "official acts". So... If he violates this oath, he isn't authorized to exercise any official powers of the presidency, and thus anything he's doing isn't official! Right? I hope so. It'd give me something to look forward to as we suffer through the next 4 years.

  • Wow, that was an awesome rabbit hole, thank you for the link.

    If you want to change someone’s mind, they have to see you as in-group.

    Maybe a less manipulative-sounding way to phrase that might be that we should remind people that we're all in it together. The far right media and their billionaire buddies have spent the past decade and a half dividing us, and they succeeded. Idk what it would take to unite this country again, but it at least is a little comforting to have a clear problem statement.

  • BMW and Mercedes both supported Nazi’s during the holocaust and I believe they should receive the same treatment but it’s been the better part of a century and they’re still here

    If people knew what the Nazis were planning to do back then, they might have boycotted BMW and Mercedes too, strangling them in the crib. Americans know what Nazis are; they were literally our biggest enemy and our greatest military victory, and the vast majority of Americans oppose Nazis. I think the only hesitation seems to be that people either don't believe Elon actually is a Nazi, or that they think he's just "TrOlLiNg ThE LiBs!!!11".

    Getting an equivalent car at a reduced trade-in price would cost 20k and I would do it on principle if I could afford to.

    That really sucks, and I don't think you are a Nazi... but you're driving a BMW in 1933. You're not going to get any sympathy from people on the right side of history.
