quantifying harms is the #1 factor for causing more harm
i WILL NOT quantify harms
i will literally never even entertain the idea that something could be 'more' harmful than something else.
that is just not how that works-
i am fairly confident that quantifying harms goes against my every principal, and everything i have ever said on here;
and if you re-phrase the same fucking bullshit in a different way, ill still fucking call it out as the same bullshit.
@Li if you refuse to quantify harms you cant really do harm reduction
@hsza no.. quantifying harms means that the state imprisoning someone is 'harm reduction' because you see they will attack someone if you don't so it 'helps more people overall" to do that.
refusing to quantify harms means refusing to let someone appeal to "harm reduction" as a reason to cause harm.
who said harm reduction had to be something to cause harm?
wasn't the whole point of it to contain the current harm being made while we figure out How to stop it entirely?
@heredos i really dont see why id need to arbitarily try assign a number to something .. to be able to help out with that thing in the first place..
heck, you don't even need to quantify it, just having a rough idea of the impact you can have can help you make as much of it as possible.
@heredos yes, and you'd be right- thats not what im saying..
like .. you made this point for me .. i don't *need* to quantify it to help people- hence, i wont. that does not exclude me from helping out with things as much as i can
Hey American who make Quiz games
You have two options
OR
(The question I got was "At what temperature is water boiling" . I answered 100, got a wrong answer and lost the match...)
@Kingu 373.15K is obviously the correct answer. What kind of backwards place would use Fahrenheit?
Meanwhile, at the Republican party
... le vin c'est quoi??? Et le fromage aussi??!
'if your a danger to yourself or others you should be locked in a prison with a different name"
right ok, by commenting this you have shown your a danger to others, because you want to harm others in the name of 'preventing' the possibility of harm
yknow my first kinda close to "anarchism" moment was just y'know if "but what if someone is doing something bad!" is the "justification"
then .. wouldn't that *just* mean that its "justified" to do whatever the "least" required to stop that thing is? .. which is clearly not.. throw you in prison forever?"
which is kinda playing into the idea that shit is can be / is "justified" somewhat, which i dont think you should do ---
but gods it was a good moment lol, and id just say that and .. everyone would just have nothing to say against it lmfao
@heredos isnt that throwing people in prison when they haven't even done anything? just because they "might"..
that's the natural progression and logical conclusion of the usual bullshit to normalize state violence, .. i.e "they might do something later therefore its okay to do shit to them now" .. --
but is, not really what im talking about.
@Li@tech.lgbt Excellent analysis.
@2something i also never fucking got the "yourself" part, like okay ??? hoow does harming you to 'stop' you help this at all??
like atleast i can understand the "harming them to stop potential further harm" even if it does not actually achieve the goal of 'preventing harm' and just is more choosing what group of people gets harmed, its making a bullshit value judgement over peoples lives; that devalues those with mental health problems (ofc-) it is and is fucked, but i can understand what its doing somewhat-
but "harm you to .. protect you" .. yeah your just a comically evil villain at that point
@Li@tech.lgbt When I was about to leave psychiatric shadow prison, I asked one of the doctors what they thought I got out of being there. She immediately responded "you stayed safe." I don't call being kidnapped "safe!"

My favorite thing about AI is that it's the only industry where its CEOs are constantly putting out statements saying "Our product could do terrible things. It could make the world so much worse. Our product could ruin everything you once loved."
Haven't AI bot swarms been a thorn in the side of everyone running a website for a while now? Just downloading everything on every site?
@lowqualityfacts nothing quite says lacking oversight, like predicting your product will doom us all.
@lowqualityfacts I sense a great disturbance in the force, like billions people suddenly having to touch grass at once.
@lowqualityfacts They are selling dystopia, and I mean that quite literally. It's FOMO with an emphasis on "fear".
Cyberwarfare used to occur with discrete silence & covert implementations.
Weird:
Missing those days when terrorists, regime-change intelligence services, and domestic espionage weren't so loud.
@lowqualityfacts Opportunist capitalist ghouls finally found the perfect industry. The more they lie and threaten to upend society with their little ai shit, the more money they make.
@lowqualityfacts It keeps their ethics completely out of the window. What responsibility? Gotta assume that they don't give a fuck. Their passiveness and wish for state regulation feels like they are just looking for a scapegoat.
I made a modern Hello World Program!
message = client.messages.create(

]
)
print(message.content[0].text)
lots of fascist, nazi, far right, adj spam troll accounts or whatever on fedi,
someone ik just got caught up in such shit :c
(i just dont see any of them lol)
we should make the opposite, ones that just spams queer shit to fascists, and make them look dumb and/or idiotic, since iirc; fascists love being not taken seriously, and that does not react in the way they want you too in response to it, (honestly ideally if it just talks about one tiny least relevant part of whatever shit they say, over and over again)
like lmfao fight fire with fire maybe ....
i added some of those funny strings to our website, i have no idea if these actually work, but eh,
@heredos perhaps, im not sure of a way to include it on my website thatd survive a markdown conversion and still be not visible to the user though, maybe font size 0 or something
@heredos hm my site isnt black background .. or do you mean just set alpha to 0
@Li@tech.lgbt @heredos@heredos.net do note that these options will also likely fuck it up for screen readers
@Li@tech.lgbt @heredos@heredos.net you could put it in an svg maybe :?
@Li@tech.lgbt @heredos@heredos.net I'd assume they probably just use pandoc html->md but seeing as they're AI companies I'm not sure they'd opt for the logical approach
Unless you put the forbidden in a link, the url gets ignored by the screen reader in favor of the link text while the url still gets fed to the llm.
@heredos@heredos.net you'd be surprised how terrible LLMs are at doing things they're designed to do
@heredos@heredos.net iirc a handful of them actually use an LLM to parse the html into markdown... before parsing the markdown
@heredos@heredos.net yeah idk best bet would probably be just using iocaine
I was recently mistaken for a bot again, so here's a picture of my fiancée and me at the beach. Notice my human skin, something that most bots thankfully lack.

@lowqualityfacts I dunno, seems you are not very tanned and you are at the beach, suspicious
"There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o." According to the conventions of Standard English (SE), Bingo was:
| the name of the farmer (he/him): | 1 |
| the name of the dog (buddy/boy): | 4 |

Oh…
what do you mean a 12.11TB leak of everything ever uploaded to steam .. just dropped
like um .. every depot, ever
edit: its only stuff before they switched to the 'steampipe' cdn
see follow request
accept follow request
notice something mildly suspect about it
ask for clarification on that thing..
get asked why i find it suspect
explain why ..
get unfollowed by them
never much elaboration further.
.. confused .. ..
Yesterday I woke up to the news of the #Luanti #Android app being taken down from Google Play due to a DMCA from an entity representing Microsoft. Again.
The past two days I have been helping out with writing an announcement to shine some light upon the issue, which has been published now:
@ROllerozxa Isn't it a time to advertise F-Droid to the broader public as a Google Play Store alternative? https://f-droid.org/packages/net.minetest.minetest/
@zelgaav Yup, we mentioned F-Droid in the article and there is still an F-Droid download badge on the website next to the Google Play one. But Luanti still needs to be on both for the widest reach, and the Google Play presence is also important for things such as being able to install Luanti on school enrolled Chromebooks for educational use
Did you know that if you buy DRM-free "digital" media, you can copy it onto a blank "physical" CD/DVD? The "digital vs physical" distinction is a lie.
@2something yeah .. been saying this, i can also download a digital only games and install it withou requring the original server or anything ... its "DRM" thats the issue,
Je regarde les info francaise en ce qui concerne les relation joyeuses entre le Canada et les USA
Il y a un truc qui ne semble pas tres bien compris.
En ce qui concerne l'alcool Américain.
Trump voudrailt voir revenir les produits Américains sur les tablettes Canadiennes.
Mais le probleme c'est que la décision de les retirer a été prise indépendament par les provinces.
Carney n'a aucun pouvoir la dessus. Au mieux, il demande poliment et, peut-être, les provinces qui boycottent vont accepter mais rien n'est moin sur.
En ce qui concerne la langue Francaise
Ce n'est pas que Carney est soudainment un grand defenseur de la langue Francaise, meme si je le crois quand il dit que la diversité linguistique est une richesse pour le Canada.
Trump voudrait que cesse l'affichage bilingue sur les produits de meme que les quotas francophones imposées aux plateformes de streaming comme Netflix.
Ca, c'est de juridiction nationale et Carney pourrait, a la limite, imposer ce changement.
Mais la réaction du Québec a une telle chose, vous vous imaginez meme pas!!!
Et les Franco-Canadiens ont les remarque pas trop en général. Ils sont tranquilles. Mais quand ils sont en colère, ils deviennent particulièrement visibles (et ils mordent, tassez-vous!) ....
I hope one day I will understand that typed text go to the window or widget that have the focus, not the one I am looking at.
I think I believe in magic or something.
i swear it's just that it was too hard to make the hand hold the steering wheel, i didn't mean anything by that! 
... what do you mean people are making command line apps unsing javascript and NPM that take multiple gigabytes to run?
... fuck...
