I hate being right

Why do people keep being fooled by rich assholes

But… Then that’s literally false?

Yeah, modern AI-assistants are LLMs, that’s not surprising. I’d even argue that LLMs are the right tool for the job here (but not all AI, or at least only as the part that binds the rest together)

However I have a slight problem in that I struggle to connect to my mirror image even when awake and sober lmao

Then again, sometimes it does feel like I’m dreaming when awake and sober so

Private companies, especially global ones, have too much power. Isn’t it kinda fucked up how a company can overrule laws in multiple countries all over the world, just due to how strong their presence is?

Also the “kid repeller” devices (because yes, it also includes younger people such as infants, and also older people), is that it just makes the world a hostile place for young people, and then later people turn around and complain how “nobody goes outside anymore”

In addition, this severely affects animals too

I never said it makes the language “correct”, more that language is fluid and there’s no need to correct people

Unless a typo or spelling mistake is so common it becomes widely used, it’s fair to say it’s just a mistake

However, when you put periods at the end of stuff like text messages, it sounds almost passive aggressive, doesn’t it?

It’s the difference between

“Okay”

And

“Okay.”

If course, ultimately language is about (efficient) communication. And as long as that is satisfied, grammar is secondary. Like if there is ambiguity, asking for clarification is very much not pedantic

There is of course some nuance and leeway, but I still think it’s fairly obvious where the line goes

But ultimately, yes, language is nuanced and constantly evolving, it’s very neat though

Skyes unite

I don’t think it’s that hard, the line is mainly “is this hard to understand?” If yes then correcting or discussing it is not prescriptivism, if no, then you’re just being pedantic

Just take texting or internet comments for example, how many are missing punctuation? How many are using slang terms or shortenings of words? How many are straight up omitting/skipping words? How many are making liberal use of language to either express themselves or have some emotional impact? Or just don’t put in the effort to do grammar

After all, I miss punctuation in this very comment as well, especially at the end of paragraphs, in addition to skipping words or making liberal use of language like “do grammar”. Is that grammatically correct? Absolutely not, but you understand what I mean

Assuming informal communication, of course. Formal communication is more about being proper, and ties into cultural norms of formality etc

If you can rally a local community behind you, it’s better to look beyond the limitations and negative influences of money

Yes, sometimes it is good to evade the law, because the law might be immoral, for one reason or another, and ranging in severity from not being able to buy weed that helps you, to not being able to flee from a country that might kill you

So there is some legit and morally acceptable use-cases for crypto, but still, it’s not much

Crypto actually is really useful for evading the law, yes, and so it’s good for donating to underground organizations (or to buy drugs or illegal services)

But that’s about the only real use-case as far as I can tell

Why would you think that sysadmins and application devs wouldn’t want to use JPEG XL?

I’m a developer and I like the format

Well, a browser is a massive piece of software, especially if you include the development of a render engine as Firefox does

Web standards evolve constantly, you need to keep up somehow, together with optimizations, bug fixing, patching of security vulnerabilities, etc

The alternative is to never have anything better, which is not realistic

Yes, it means more code, but that’s an inevitability. We already have lots of legacy stuff, like, say, floppy disk drivers

People don’t need to give a shit, you just need websites and servers and applications to produce and convert images to the new format and the rest will happen "by itself’

It should be pretty much invisible to the users themselvea

Maybe the Dems will finally learn that listening to their base helps
