I’d hate to see a kilobyte. Let alone a megabyte or gigabyte or terabyte or…

First A24 does The Backrooms, then SCP. What’s next? Creepypasta? I doubt it’s realistic, but I’m hoping for Zalgo.

Sounds like we’re in the same boat. But that’s exactly why I’m asking.

There’s a story that Joseph Goldstein (Buddhist meditation teacher) has told.

He was leading a retreat not long after 9/11. (If I recall correctly, it was within days after 9/11.) He was leading a group in “metta” (translated “loving kindness”) meditation. It involves wishing good things (“may you be happy, well, safe, peaceful, and at ease”) for yourself, then for a friend, then someone you don’t have strong positive or negative feelings about, then an enemy/antagonist, then all of them together, then all sentient beings.

He said that retreat-goers objected that they couldn’t possibly wish good things for people like those who hijacked the planes or for Osama Bin Laden himself. All they could have for those people in that moment was hatred. And they asked Joseph how he could possibly ask them to have any positive wishes for “the terrorists”.

I mean, I don’t know how many of you remember 9/11 or the years closely following. But to say the U.S. lost our collective minds is no exaggeration. And I would hope most here agree that that xenophobic fervor led only to terrible things. (Including Trump’s presidential terms.)

Joseph’s response was “at least I should think that you all should be able to wish for them to be free of hate”.

In a way, it seems weird that it was 25 years ago. In another way, it’s weird to think it was only 25 years ago.

Trying to evict her might be risky. In fact, I’d advise that you build her a shrine and start praying to her.

The sharingan is the final touch that makes it perfect.

I’m going to become the next huge nutrition influencer with the DOGEless diet: you only eat food produced/packaged before the “Department Of Government Efficiency” gutted the FDA. Hope you like canned foods.

Actually, maybe it’ll be the perfect diet for Lemmy.

I will happily walk away from real-life conversations as soon as it is clear that I’m not talking to a fully sentient Homo sapiens sapiens but to an empty shell who has happily delegated their cognitive abilities to an external proprietary tool designed to be some sort of “random average garbage.”

I so wish it was that easy but it’s not if they cohabitate with you or they’re your relative or significant other or boss or whatever.

I’m about as close to “hermit” as you’re ever likely to meet and I’m still assailed every five minutes. (I was literally assailed by LLM BS by my mother while I was typing this message.)

What I’d love to see even more than that is some kind of pigment cartridge system. You’d use natural, unpigmented filament and the printer would inject pigment in different mixtures as it prints. Just seems… I dunno. More efficient?

I remember seeing a YouTube video (that I might search for and find again if I remember) where some company had developed (and probably patented) an approach that involved inkjet-coloring as it printed. I remember the colors looked pretty pale and washed-out looking. Not vibrant the way I would have hoped. But the approach might be one that could be improved on. 🤷

Ok. That helps a lot. Thanks much! I’ll take that back to my drawing board and I’d imagine that’ll fix things for me.

So, this is not me arguing, just trying to understand, and so far I have more questions than answers:

• Can you give me specific instances of this?
• Did you report it?
• If you did report it, what did you give as your “reason” in the report? (I ask just because mostly the reports we get aren’t very specific with their reason and sometimes it’s hard to discern even what specifically they mean. I don’t personally review every thread that comes through !fuck_ai@lemmy.world, so it’s not like I go into these reports with context to go off of.)
• You say “explicitly”. As in, mods have made statements in reference to what you’re talking about?
• How frequent are these instances? A running pattern, or a once-off?

Honestly just any more context you can give me will be helpful.

If you’d like to move this conversation to DM, I’m good with that. Or if you’re wanting more transparency in this discussion, I’m good with keeping it here.

Hrm, well, now I’m noticing that I’m getting inconsistent results.

I keep getting {"error":"rate_limit_error"} from the login endpoint, and I’ve made… maybe 10 requests to that endpoint over the course of the day? And I’ve had that block this user (like, my @TootSweet account) from being able to log in. But I really don’t think I’m sending any noticeable amount more traffic than I would be without the bot testing.

But sometimes I get past login and get a Cloudflare page back on another call. (In the unhappy path it tries to DM me, and it’s tried that and failed.)

Maybe I’m just not waiting long enough between requests? I had it set to wait 3 seconds between requests, but maybe I’ll bump it up to 5.

Thanks very much for your help so far. Sorry to throw more at you here. It seems the previous Cloudflare issue isn’t what I’m running into any more at least.

I was super confused there for a minute. Lol.

I’m not using any headless browser or anything. I’m using Go’s “net/http” package from the standard library which just… makes HTTP requests. I’m making requests to endpoints like https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/login and https://lemmy.world/api/v3/post. The basic happy-path process is that every time it runs, it:

• Gets the community id by name.
• Logs in (getting the JWT token).
• And then posts to the community in question (using the JWT token).

The user agent it uses is Go-http-client/1.1 if that helps any.

Love the anti-Flock sentiment, but do note that if you use these in the real world, you will probably face legal repercussions. Maybe lesser ones than if you actively damage Flock cameras. But it’s not a “cops who use Flock cameras hate this one weird trick” thing.

Exactly! Until I decide to do another SQL injection to change the response to “with tabs shalt thou indent thine code and never with spaces” or “I hereby decree dogs rule and cats drool.”

Yeah, I’m also planning to switch to PostmarketOS. I was running Ubuntu Touch when my carrier changed things to where my phone didn’t work as a phone without VoLTE. Ubuntu Touch doesn’t support VoLTE on my Pixel 3a so I reluctantly switched to stock.

It wasn’t until after I switched to stock firmware that I found out that PostmarketOS has experimental support for VoLTE on my device. I’m hoping “experimental” is good enough for my purposes, but we’ll see when I get around to doing it.

Dear God, I pray for a '; update responses_lookup_table set response = ‘New commandment: thou shalt not put pineapple on pizza.’; –

• Sounds sensationalistic.
• Misleading AI hype. (The kind of AI that helps discover drugs isn’t the same kind that runs LLMs, but the tech bros like to conflate all “AI” to make it seem like ChatGPT or Claude or whatever is actually useful when it’s not.)
• Paywalled.

FUUUUUUUUCK CHATGPT.
