once more and yet again, if the main thrust of your "apology" is a nonspecific "i'm better now and but i don't want anything from you other than for you to know i'm sorry" you have not meaningfully apologized, and we have nothing to go on for rebuilding any kind of meaningful communication

how have you changed? what did you realize you did wrong? why was it wrong?

and whY IS IT MY FUCKING JOB TO GUIDE YOU TO THIS?

it would be nice if, say, there were some visible consideration of how your actions affected us

as it turns out, we have exactly 0 use for white guilt

they call it printf even though it prints all of the other letters too

@gewt lmk what you find out, because, we have some LTO-8

@AlgoCompSynth @regehr

lotta people need to understand that their personal discomfort is not the arbiter of morality

unix users to classic mac users, circa 1999: your stupid OS requires users to manually specify memory allocation, lol

kubernetes, 2020 (4): hi, your service is crash looping because it only requested 256 megs and so i allocated it to a node that just barely had enough ram, and it hit the physical limit and OOMed, do you like this

bunch of the AI booster's arguments basically boil down to "cyber manifest destiny"

like you understand that the prevalence of internet video as a thing that Must Be was built on fake data made up by fuxkin facebook, right?

us: we find video content incredibly difficult to watch

them: Mainstream videos, maybe. There are many philosophical videos on the Internet that bring you wisdom.

no you yutz we are objecting to the form of the content

"idk i just think people like videos" no, that was a "preference" that was actively engineered by people making shit up

thinking about how LLMs don't understand their input, they just build a list of probable token sequences, but also a lot of people do the same thing, and that explains the popularity/lasting impact of LLMs

@austinkocher we once heard this phrased as "ratchet-and-pawl theory of american politics" and it never left our head.

fyi the guy who's hyping up the supposed "unauthenticated RCE" impacting all systems is a self-aggrandizing domestic assault perpetrator trying to draw attention to himself; successful exploitation of the so-called vuln depends on ability to edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, which generally already requires administrator privileges

and here he is being verbally abusive in a github issue: https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-browsed/issues/36

@tillshadeisgone oh we have absolutely seen people go "excuse me im not a woman im it/its" to derail conversations about them pulling some gringa shit on us

@tillshadeisgone adapting this to "it/its" trans women who try to degender themselves to protect against accusations of white womanhood: Schroedinger's Karen

y'know, when we were a kid, people would provoke us into a bad reaction and then use that as a lever to get us in trouble

people would abuse us and then we would get punished for it

and this hasn't stopped. it has been a perennial constant of our life. there is something sick in the broader culture that enables this kind of shit

tired: being trans is a social contagion therefore don't do it

inspired: being trans is a social contagion, lets start a gender pandemic
