well I don’t know how many uses it takes to wear out a decent guillotine, from my part it could be good if it can do 5 turns. no idea

I thought they mean it for the equipment, that it does not fall apart so fast
- Comment on was this average bullying behavior? 1 month ago:
if they say you should die because you wanted to talk with them, they are not nice people. you should avoid them for your own benefit. try to find other people if you can, but I would say being alone even is better on a scale. I was in a similar situation for years. and when I thought it ended, it all came back with other people for another few years. if you are a child in school, locked together with them, mentally prepare yourself that they’ll continue bullying you even if you don’t contact them, and that most teachers won’t care. still, you should try getting help if the madness does not stop.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 month ago:
where did I imply it is black and white? I did not say that there are no people who reasonably want to rent, of course there are.
but I’m pretty sure that it’s not even half the people.
the problem is not that people who want to rent can’t, they have plenty of options! but that people who specifically dont want to rent, very often does not have amy other choice.
buying a house for a family comes with a lifelong loan, with all the aid possible, and buying a house as an individual or as a couple is just not possible anymore where I live. unless you have an exceptionally high salary. even just buying an empty parcel or one where there’s only a house so bad it needs to be demolished costs so much, if there’s a habitable house the bank won’t even give a loan. - Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 month ago:
I know people that only want to rent, they don’t want to own.
you say this as if most people would be like that. whereas most people don’t want to travel all the time, for most that wouldn’t even be possible because of their job, most just want a place to live, and feudalists are taking advantage of (and contributing to) prohibitively expensive housing prices

how do you figure out if it’s a plain data CD or there’s something extra on it too?

it seems you don’t know it either what is a photo album.
printing pictures does not solve the problem. the problem comes after printing them: you need to store them somewhere. and that’s what the album is for.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 months ago:
and how unambiguous is it that those are AI generated content? is it like blurry colors on images, 6 fingers and 3 hands, or what do you recognize on them?
I think I can identify generated images, but text… well I can’t even decide. Probably I just can’t so far, because I don’t remember any posts or comments that were suspicious
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 months ago:
while dissing someone for not wanting AI in forums, for “not knowing what are they talking about”. right, they didn’t specify what kind of AI they don’t want, but I think it comes from the context that they don’t want generative AIs, because that’s what affects them negatively regularly
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 months ago:
I don’t see it, which is horrific considering that others do. can you show a few examples that you think is AI slop?
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 months ago:
let me get this straight. you like AI because a model outperformed another? how is that a real argument for any kind of question? the topic was not about whether they evolve.
that “black and white stance” is not really bad here, because it’s not actually black and white. their stance is against generative AI, not the kind you use for research. and guess what, forums are flooded by gen AI slop, the only kind of AI today that highly affects our forums.
