The GBA SP really was a great portable. I carried my black\silver "executive" model everywhere and felt cool as shit at the time.

Those PS2 ads though, holy shit, what was Sony smoking back then?

For all the sudden word scholars here: there is no second word "master" that's spelled, pronounced, and written exactly the same as the other one but is entirely unrelated to the concept of master\slave. All modern meanings of the word master derive from the same root: magister, meaning an authority or teacher.

A "master recording" is the authority, the base copy from which all others are duplicated. They aren't called "slave" copies, although the primary use of the terms in computing did originally use those 2 words. Also as someone else pointed out, you don't even really make copies of git branches in the same way as audio so the term is misapplied.

Main is also a bad name, unless you're working on a solo project with only 1 main branch and some features. As soon as you start collaborating with other people, you should really have individual dev branches or "forks" (be honest, 90% of you aren't rawdogging git straight from the CLI, there's a forge website involved as hub) to work on, with an integration\testing "fork"\branch to combine work and a release branch for final code, with each discrete release tagged.

No gods, no kings, no masters!

No one commits to trunk anymore....

Looks like you've been chosen to lead the next Nobilis game!

(It's a TTRPG, the game moderator role is called the Hollyhock God, because Hollyhock means "pride" in the language of flowers.)

People are ragging on the AI art, but the message is also bland pseudo-mystic instagram-motivational word spew. Many religions and philosophies teach things like this, but even real quotes are reduced to pithy candy aphorisms when taken out of context like this.

Like it definitely is trying to riff on the genre of Zen Pencils.

And funny enough, that Thoreau quote is more in line with global views on happiness: the pursuit of it is in some ways the root of it's nonexistence. When we focus on making a better and simpler world for all, happiness often follows.

Conservative conspiracy catnip. They'll spend all their energy theorizing and debating "the missing minute" while ignoring that none of the footage shows him or his cell. Same principle as people debating the existence of aliens over blurry footage while ignoring mountains of evidence of prototype weapons and surveillance systems. Or debating the personhood of fetuses while ignoring the rights and needs of living children and women.

Keeping the masses properly distracted requires a few layers of bullshit.

If you were trying to show another species that you were intelligent, sending basic shapes isn't a terrible way to demonstrate understanding of some abstract ideas. Fascinating to consider what they're "saying" with these.

Ooooh, I'd been thinking of switching to a standalone bookmark manager. I've had such luck moving to Keepass for password management (and using syncthing as my universal "no cloud" solution) that I'm hoping to eventually get all my cloud and proprietary-vendor-features moved to self-hosted OSS apps.

The metaphor is comparing the idea of loyalty, a concept vitally important to the ideology of fascism, with the LLM trait of consistency. An LLM is highly consistent, so much so that common patterns in its output can be used to spot generated artifacts. However it is not "loyal" because loyalty is about being inconsistent in one's "beliefs" (expressed statements of knowledge) but consistent to a moment-to-moment truth defined by an authority figure.

You got insulted because you're debating in a way that seems catered towards "winning" an internet argument instead of trying to understand what WoodScientist was saying: that a fascist LLM would be difficult because it would require constant retraining to keep up with the ever-shifting fascist narrative. You've never even addressed this point, just repeatedly doubled down that because he said "loyalty" instead of "responding in line with the currert beliefs of the ruling party which change on a daily basis" that the entire argument is invalid and therefore it's "easy to train a reactionary LLM." You also keep confusing reactionary and fascist.

And I neither did a "drive by insult" nor did I "run away into the night." Though i will now rather than continue wasting my time on this. just came back to correct you yet again, and offer an actual ad hominem for you to compare against.

Fuck off, moron.

Excuse me, I'm trying to work today! Please refrain from posting this pornography in regular funny star trek threads!
