The response to someone in distress after Apple (or any entity) locked them out of memories and documents and devices to the tune of terabytes and thousands of dollars cannot ever be “laughing in Linux”. Don’t be that heartless jackass. Just shut the fuck up.
In Spanish the saying goes “no cuesta nada ser amable” (being kind costs you nothing) but I prefer the English version, “it pays to be kind” because the feeling of helping somebody else, the amazing feeling of making another person happier, it’s not just “this cost me nothing”.
I've seen the news of a successful treatment of Huntington's described as "a miracle" and it really, really annoys me to see the work of years described as "a miracle". It's not a miracle. People busted their ass for ages, possibly overworked, possibly underpaid. Undergrads and grads toiled in labs at unholy hours on weekends. It's not a miracle. I don't even want to say "It's science" because it's not about the scientific method (ok, it is in this case, but), it's about the very hard work.
@selzero@LanceJZ I mean it’s not like the government is bribing cajoling or threatening companies if they don’t curb and massage speech just the way the admin wants it, right?
@selzero@LanceJZ “Freedom of Speech only concerns the government” is a very limited interpretation. Yes, true, but you’ll find the phrase used in many other ways, like here. Also, this (the Fediverse) is an international stage. I certainly don’t want to limit myself to reading “…as conveyed in the constitution of the USA” every time I see the phrase “freedom of speech”.
@kims Given the sepia tint, something about the style, and the fact that those are not the structures for serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline *or* cortisol, I think AI.
