  Yep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sudden epiphany.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In my country there is no advanced people and you can’t really fast forward years of education. I know a couple of famous cases, but is not something that happens all the time. My family treated me as a special kid for so many reasons, and being “smart” was one of them. Had to travel to the big capital city to study a bachelor in science, there was no way around it, because the expenses were mostly covered by this public university, thank god.

  The first year was hard. I failed some classes even, and seriously questioned myself if I had it in me to get my degree. Education is just better in big cities with museums, cultural activities everyday, bookstores and libraries. Back in the town I grew up we only had the little municipal library, others existed but weren’t open to the public, and one or two libraries with best sellers. In my university we had one library with several levels just for the students, there were books and journals, maps, a digital library too, etc. You need to be curious, yes, but the environment to pique that curiosity is very important too.

  As I said before, it matters to me and I will be doing this until it’s possible. I know I’m not using as much AI through software as someone that just don’t care about it. It’s not a categorical thing to use it or not, sometimes you don’t even get to choose, that’s life. I believe it’s as important to take this fight against the industry of AI as a whole as the oil companies, probably even more important. Honestly, the developer already made their decision, and that’s okay for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s where we are different. I don’t use Lutris, now I’m sure I won’t be trying it. Of course there are people who think this is relevant. I didn’t think I’d have to explain to you that it is not about them using AI as a tool, it’s about not giving enough information about their authorship what concerns me. I suppose they accept donations, well, it is important to me that part of my donations don’t end up with companies that hurt the environment and people’s jobs. Did auto-completion technologies steel almost all humankind constructed knowledge? Do they need catastrophic amounts of environmental resources to work? Do they produce grave diseases to whole populations near them? Did they disrupt several markets for being created? How many employments did they ruin?

  I’m not so sure anymore whether THEY are providing FOSS or just approving slop PRs. I do not like harassment at all, even less against a guy that says is/was dealing with depression. That’s why I comment here. Being said that, it’s kind of a jerk move to just hide the fact he is using this tool for development under his own name. As a teacher, few things would make me more mad than having a student doing this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the USA attacking Iran?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That “some reason” is their governments are the same entity. Israel is the USA and vice versa. This is essentially why Iran attacked USA military bases, not because the USA also attacked them. Both entities share the unashamed tendency to expand as an empire, against international law. Israel sees Iran as their only real menace close to them. Imagine China in Central America. Why now? That’s Trump and the Epstein case variable. What gains the USA? They are loosing all kinds of influence against China and Russia, they are trying to regain hegemony through oil and the dollar.

  I still do, for some things (lists of huge files). Well, I did recently, but got deleted just last week.

  Ah, yes. That was the name. Then I changed it for DownThemAll! which still exists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The script is mysterious and important.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With this crisis of new stories to tell, with this incessant demand and lack of offer, it would be interesting to see the movies that famously never were made or would have been made differently with other directors, protagonists, scripts, adaptations, etc. I’d still avoid them, but a Matrix film starring Will Smith would be a success selling tickets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fine if you don’t make much sense of it. It surely wasn’t easy to put in words, so maybe I screwed it up. I’m a person who happens to eat a similar diet than yours. And yeah, I’d prefer food with minimal suffering of animals, if I get to choose. I frequently don’t get to choose, reality does that to many of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My take in the veganism I’ve come to know personally is that vegans think they put themselves in the place of animals, but what I see is they put the animals in their own place. In this case, they think that consent should be placed in the animal realm because they believe it for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know what a vegan is. It’s just I’m not a vegan myself to be going in-deep about their system of beliefs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess a vegan would see the point in that. Vegans are normal in my book, as in they are people. If they didn’t call themselves vegans, I wouldn’t call them any particular way as a noun. If I needed to describe them, I’d say, “they are people who only eat vegetables”.

  I get it, though, it’s a discourse battle derived from their moral views and expected ethics. It’s just they don’t come across as very approachable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So, nonvegan people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t go over my day calling people names. It’s not hard for me to call them as they want them to be called, and if I don’t know that, they are just people like me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top of the world, ma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Vegans call themselves vegans and they get to call others “carnists”? I’ve been hearing them calling others “meateaters” too. It’s so reducing of the people who don’t agree with their ideas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man posts his incorrect opinion online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my society purple usually don’t get their shoes off at home. We did this thing of using specific shoes at home as a compromise. Works pretty well, it’s not that I wouldn’t like a shoes off policy, but it can get too cold to stand on uncarpeted floors.
