It’s worth highlighting that explicit climate denialism is well out of vogue here in 2026. Most people profess belief in the scientific consensus that society’s dependence on fossil fuels is warming the climate. This stops few of them from using a technology that is directly increasing society’s thirst for oil. When people like me argue that this technology is unfit for adoption on the basis of its energy requirements alone, AI users will simply ignore anything that we have to say.

He does comprehend it. Which is why he/we doesn’t use any corporate, power-hungry LLMs, at all. We also share your concerns over datacenters and the AI bubble. Read our policy here: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/divisions-by-zero/the-genai-tag/

The timing a rape survivor chooses to go public, or to seek charges could be due to a million reasons. Maybe they have been in a mental health crisis, and couldn’t cope with it previously. Or maybe, as she claims, she felt like the stakes were simply too high to stay silent now he was getting into federal politics. Or maybe some bad actor paid her enough to make it worth going public. We might never know for sure. Maybe it was a mix of all three. Maybe she (understandably) just wanted maximum retribution.

But what we do know for sure is that, whatever the reason for the timing, the guy was, and is, a sack of shit who should never have been stood up as a candidate in the first place.

freeze peach bullshit

fucking rape apologia? ugh

Wtf happened to believing women when they are brave enough to come forward?

He’s a disgusting pig of a man who deserves to be in jail. Voting for him is a moral stain. The Dems are so commited to the lesser evil thing that they’re putting up the lesser rapist for elections now. Unbelievable.

Don’t be victim blaming. Literally everyone warned he couldn’t be trusted. I mean, the Nazi tattoo wasn’t enough for you to realise he’s a piece of shit?

I never had a very functional medium- or long-term memory due to adhd, so for me the internet is more like a useful augment for my dysfunctional memory. I honestly don’t know how I would function in society without it. So I guess there is some element of utility beyond it being simply a transmission medium.

And for many marginalized groups like lgbtq2s+ folks, the internet was super important for community building and finding like-minded souls, because they were/are relatively scarce in the “real world” of (at least my own) personal, real-life experiences. And that was very much about interactive communication and forums etc, so not “transmissive” as per your observation.

I think conceiving of the internet as a medium for “publication” is only one possible lens. It’s also a medium for communication. It’s a political medium (e.g. using the internet to bypass capitalist/authoritarian systems. And it’s also a medium for genuine friendships and positive psycho-social relationships for folks who’s IRL situations are sometimes dire, for whatever reason.

Having said all that, I 100% agree with you that it needn’t be a permanent record. There’s that saying that everyone has a book in them, but for most people, that’s where it should stay. Same goes for internet content.

Folks from pretty much every political spectrum across Canada and Mexico hate America nowadays. So you obviously don’t get out much.

Lol unless they are posting about specific pirated torrents, then it’s fine afaik. Upload ratio could be due to perfectly legitimate reasons such as linux images.

Yeah, I think repost bots are fine for certain use cases, but they should 100% be identified as bots, and not pretend to be a human account.

I don’t get how it’s a scam exactly, unless they are linking back to their community. But I agree it is a lot of low quality posts.
