it's all true, even the contradictions, that's the first step to take outside of dualistic thinking -

>Why does Jesus's name hold power over aliens? Why is nobody talking about this?
afaict christianity is the religion for people who demonise supernatural entities rather than embracing them, and they all use jesus' name for this purpose (they call it exorcism), so the groupthink works for them. it sucks because i'm one of those people who was raised in a christfag household but i want to see all types of things in this world, not just boring-ass humans -

>According to the vendor, "Flexplay discs are fully recyclable and conform to all applicable EPA environmental standards." Some environmental groups have endorsed the product due to Flexplay's recycling plans and partnership with environmental industry leaders such as GreenDisk, leading to the creation of the first DVD recycling operation. Others such as the Grass Roots Recycling Network nevertheless have objected to the creation of a short-lived "disposable" version of a traditionally durable product.
i wonder how adoption was on this, not to mention it should be really easy to rip these dvds within the 48-hour period after opening the package anyway -

>get used to using [ChatGPT], because you'll be using it a LOT.
yeah @OneEyeKing dont listen to this fgt, read docs for everything you use. that's what developers and engineers have been doing for years. reading docs. not talking to a toy. -

the only case where i have to 100% disagree with using it is in clearanced or NDA work, which a lot of places (including my last job) do. the dumb part about my last employer was how they still wanted to shoehorn AGI into our workflow regardless of our privacy constraints -

opal (wowaname@freesoftwareextremist.com)'s status on Friday, 27-Sep-2024 01:50:24 JST opal @sun i'm genuinely surprised that AGI is supplementing your work without you having to push back against it much. it makes more sense if you're using your own datasets rather than the publicly-offered shit though -

>So, I tried to explain why I came up with the 3 day figure - and explained to him how testing and integration takes up a bit of time but he ended the conversation with "Let's be a bit more pragmatic and realistic with our estimates. 5 minutes worth of work shouldn't take 3 days; I'd expect you to have estimated half a day at the most." -

>Free software purists are a subset of software freedom activists.
i had that belief a year ago, but for once i now have to agree with @Suiseiseki that any proprietary (especially closed-source) software is actively harmful to computing. the average layman treats their computer like a black box, and software engineering is an undervalued profession because it isn't fully out in the open how good, stable code requires active discipline and plenty of peer review. the problem is magnified by the sheer volume of new tech in the last decade alone, so it's become a race to undo the damage of proprietary BS and go forward with proper ethics -
