I ask my mate in Shenzhen what he thinks of China and Xi.

He hates Xi and so do most of his friends. His wife is even a member of the CCP.

If you don’t fully commit to the party line and pay increasing fees you don’t progress in the CCP. Sounds a lot like Scientology tbh and they see it as more of a tax. Because leaving is a huge no-no. She wishes she never joined.

I take his (Chinese) opinion of China much more highly than a bunch of angry Zoomer kids on Lemmy.ml posting puff-pieces by the CCP.

Nim is cool

“Just”

That one word has done a fuck ton of lifting over my career.

“Can’t you just make it do this”

I can’t “just” do anything you fuck head! It takes time and lots of effort!

It depends on the website hosting location. TOS, users location and relevant international copyright treaties.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all.

As a UK citizen I can’t claim my (US) first amendment right to call you a “cunt”.

It’s against the website TOS and I’m not American.

Putting a license at the bottom clears any ambiguity.

Funnily enough you’re only highlighting your own “Zoomer” naivety of law by making your “Boomer” comment.

That’s not how public domain works.

He’s got a kid called MySQL?

Private Eye is so fucking depressing. They say they put the funny stuff in the second half to offset the corruption and scandals in the first half but I can rarely get through one page before I have to put it down.

Interesting idea but I would utterly hate a person like me.

The old saying about “you hate in others what reminds you of yourself” feels like it was written for me!

I really need someone to contrast my personality. I’d kick clone out within minutes.

+1 for Raindrop. Not sure why it gets a low-ish rating cos I find it A* best ever bookmarkign plugin and I’ve been using various ones since early Delicious and Diigo.

Removed by mod

bad actors know how to manipulate or dodge the content moderation to avoid punitive consequences.

People have been doing that since the dawn of the internet. People on my old forum in the 90s tried to circumvent profanity filters on phpBB.

Even now you can get round Lemmy.World filters against “fag-got” by adding a hyphen in it.

Nothing new under the sun.

I didn’t know Yandex was Dutch!

I’m gonna go buy some motherfucking condiments!!

I’ve always hated the gym. The whole concept is anathema to me. I LOVE exrcise though so I’ll try to do it in other ways. Walk places instead of drive. Run instead of walk. Bike. Do martial arts (learning a skill!).

I’ll do anything except work out in a sweat box.

Didn’t even think of it as a possibility. WTF would a browser need with LLM?

You’re welcome. My wisdom normally costs money but you can have that for free.

No I’ve done meth but if you#'re taking life advice from a recovering meth addict online who’s being sarcastic you need to hand in your license to life because you’re a fucking moron that would cut themselves on mouldy bread.

Dunno about staggered cadence but when I’ve been hearing voices I’ve found listening to very boring Buddhist dharma talks on podcast to help. They block out the voices and the dull, drone of the bikkhu lulls me to sleep.

Worth a try?

Jesus fucking christ. Take shit you see online less seriously.

Misery. I collect misery.
