I knew my first long distance gf on ICQ. I remember also having that service in Miranda IM along Yahoo Chat, MSN, Google Chat (back when it was based on XMPP) and Jabber.

Messages from my current gf are announced with the classic ICQ "Uh-oh!".

richieadler ,

It's a really bad term because it's usually associated with a mind, and LLMs are nothing of the sort.

richieadler ,

We anthropomorphize machines all the time, it's fine.

It's fucking not, amd I'm not changing my mind about it.

richieadler ,

This isn't some secret but literally how LLMs work. lol

Yeah, but John Q. Public reads AI and thinks HAL 9000 and Skynet, and no additional will convince them otherwise.

richieadler ,

Many worthy things are difficult.

richieadler ,

It is when the people tends to give more credence to entities that appear sentient and to have agency.

richieadler ,

I use that sound for notifications to this dy.

richieadler ,

Well, demonizing breastfeeding is a problem, but not this problem.

richieadler ,

"At-will" termination is a US problem. Other countries have more humane norms for lactating mothers.

richieadler ,

I will never understand why burned up people in IT is so intent of changing a work where you may have intellectual challenges but you don't need to make strenous physical effort for extreme physical labor. I wouldn't be caught dead doing one of those jobs, and the idea of wanting them is unfathomable to me.

richieadler ,

There’s satisfaction to be found when labour results in a tangible and lasting result.

Nothing human is eternal. But you're speaking in absolutes and I challenge that. Give me intellectual challenges, I couldn't care less about making a nice chair or a sculpture.

Too many jobs at startups

That's the problem. You can try elsewhere, maybe?

richieadler ,

I have an outdoors job

Not for me, I despise the Big Blue Room.

richieadler ,

I have another impression about romanticizing trades: there's a deep anti-intellectualism and an exaltation of not having to think. For me that idea is pure hell.

richieadler ,

Sure, you can deploy and maintain an app, but you can't reach out and touch it, smell it, or move it.

I'd say that tactile fetish for objects is fitting coming from a society that frowns upon physical contact with people.

and challenge yourself to think in new ways.

I find that the wish is actually thinking as little as possible. That's a nightmare for me.

richieadler ,

Please enlighten me about the deep thinking challenges involved in fabricating a chair. I'll wait.

richieadler ,

I don't specially dislike it, but everybody talks about the outdoor like the thing they cannot live without. I... actually thrived during COVID, I wasn't force to tolerate idiots and I didn't need to leave my house. I didn't really feel the need to see the external world.

richieadler ,

You really don’t think electricians, contractors, plumbers etc aren’t problem solving on the daily?

General problem solving, probably. Deep thinking? Nah.

And besides, I doubt most electricians need to apply Kirchhoff's Law on a daily basis.

richieadler ,

Nope. I don't have a panic reaction when I go outside (and now I go daily to the office, because it's near and more confortable than my house). I just don't have the Nature fetish some people do.

In my country I went to see the Iguazú falls and my reaction was "Huh. Nice."

richieadler ,

Who said anything about networks?

richieadler ,

I don't click in unexplained videos, sorry.

richieadler ,

And you seem USian, so please, kill each other once for all and stop destroying other countries for profit.

richieadler , (edited )

I use names of known computers or androids in fiction. My main computer is always Ralf (the computer built by Richie Adler in Whiz Kids), and my main phone is Lal (Data's daughter). My girlfriend uses other franchises (GLaDOS, Wheatley, Marvin).

richieadler ,

🤮

richieadler ,

They aren't.

richieadler ,

In less than 10 years some type of implant will be mandatory.

richieadler ,

"The community" usually doesn't. The most likely result is the bystander effect.

richieadler ,

They most likely follow the dictator, at the very least to sate their blood thirst.

richieadler ,

And you'd rather have mobs kill criminals themselves? Enact the death penalty for petty thieves while they celebrate billionaires like they do today?

richieadler ,

Curious, because that's the most likely scenario.

richieadler ,

Very insightful advise in general, I'd say.

richieadler ,

There isn't. Fly away, troll.

Tarallo - selfhostable FOSS Trello alternative (feddit.it)

Hi! For the ones of you that use Trello, I made a simple to use and host alternative in PHP. It's not a complete alternative like other projects, and I mainly made it to be able to host it on free PHP web servers while having control over data/attachments. It also support a basic importer for Trello JSON exports....

richieadler ,

in PHP

😥

richieadler ,

I prefer justfiles these days.

richieadler ,

I’m only smiling because my job is customer service.

That in many cases smiling is mandatory is a revolting part of customer service in the US.

richieadler ,

Everything other than a “hell yes” is a no.

This must be said more frequently. This is the correct attitude. You may be alone longer, but you haven't terrorized anybody. It's a net win.

richieadler ,

That can be. That doesn't kill you, though.

richieadler ,

Sealion detected.

richieadler ,

Are you pulling a ? Really?

richieadler ,

Don't use biological arguments. In this stage of civilization, societal considerations trump biological ones.

And the ones you're using are bullshit anyway.

richieadler ,

Sealion is a definition, not an insult.

Fancy quotes don't make you right.

richieadler ,

Rejected women get attacked all the time. A non-zero number of them get killed because of it.

richieadler ,

But giving the can be a risk for some people.

richieadler ,

Damn you're thick.

You really don't get the idea of the Schroedinger Rapist, do you?

richieadler ,

coined by people who think they’re the first to encounter the world

Yet another US asshole who feels like John Wayne with his fucking gun and lacks the minimal empathy to be considered a decent human being.

Get bent.

richieadler ,

Nobody advocated removing the police. The meme only says that currently they’re basically organized crime. So your question seems more like sealioning or JAQing off.

richieadler ,

🤦‍♂️

richieadler ,

Yeah, using jargon is very useful to communicate in an international forum.

richieadler ,

I guess that for you "having fun" in any social gathering involves high doses of alcohol and an insane amount of material destruction, so I'd be very happy of never making your acquaintance, thank you very much.
