So, I don’t want to worry you too much, but I might be in love with your girlfriend.

And your washing machine.

And this washing powder.

We’re working on a polycule right now, maybe you can be part of it.

I can at least anecdotally confirm this isn’t just a US issue either. Here in Germany, I met a guy at a psychiatric clinic as a fellow patient with a very similar story (in this case working in logistics, not construction, but also in a position requiring hard manual labour).

His German wasn’t all that good, so that made exploiting him easier - and while his medical bills were covered and he in theory had the legal rights to have his de-facto disability from work recognized, his work environment and pressure had made him ignore his own health and rights out of fear of not being able to support his ex-wife and children, who were everything to him. He had also internalised that his self-worth stems from his superior work ethics. In the end, the bosses/owners of his medium-small employer downsized heavily and pocketed a lot of money, but with no way to prove any illegal stuff going on in the process easily. He was dropped because he couldn’t work as self-destructively any more with his chronic injuries/issues. That broke him.

This social dynamic is appaling and probably very universal in the majority of the world.

Da frage ich mich, ob das vielleicht sogar einen Unterschied macht in der Qualität der automatischen Übersetzung. Naja, vermutlich nicht bei so etwas wie Standardmeldungen wie hier, aber ich meine mich erinnern zu können mal gehört zu haben, dass es mittlerweile ein bisschen Unterschiede in Phrasen und Formulierungen gibt zwischen Nord- und Süd, also einen beobachtbaren Drift in der Sprachevolution.

Wobei ich auch fast vermuten würde, dass RSOS einfach auf einer schon gemachten Koreanischen Übersetzung basiert und nicht nochmal angepasst wurde.

But what, oh person inside my phone, what would you think of me, after hearing this shocking confession:

I…

I did not always comment…

Well, at least I heard there will be other people

Without justifying this really dumb act, because there’s no justifying it, […]
How about we just don’t vandalize private property. That’s a good standpoint to build on.

Wow, how unbased can an article get?

How did you get this photograph of me, and how dare you doxx me like that? D:

You’ve got a great point there, actually

“Ok, wer macht diesmal Protokoll? Ich hab schon letztes mal gemacht”

It’s disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines.

“What is the robbing of a bank, compared to the founding of a bank?” - Brecht

Law is always part of an ideological whole, that stems from the material base. Justice will always feel different to the opposed classes, we have to force our justice or their justice is forced on us.

Now that you brought it up: I only today learned the completely legit and in no way misleading translation of what is being said:

That’s what I suspect, too, but I’m not entirely sure in my research so far. The question I am still unsure about: Is it as costly in running, or is the real costly part “just” the “training our model” part? I wondered that, because when I was messing around, things like generative text models could run on my potato PC with a bit of python scripting without too much issue, even if not ideally - as long as I had the already trained dataset downloaded.

Oh, wow, another book for the reading list :O

Am surprised that I genuinely hadn’t heard of him, just highlights the point the article is making.

Auf hexbear schaue ich zugegebenermaßen ab und an vorbei, weil es so an der Grenze ist von der Community, mit der ich zumindest noch glaube, in manchen Dingen sinnvoll austauschen zu können, auch wenn meine Meinung oft doch auch weit auseinander geht. Außerdem - gute Disco Elysium-michmichs.

Lemmygrad ist… ein sehr bedauerliches Symptom des verbliebenen schlechten Einflusses vom Stalinismus als Schattenwurf bis in die Gegenwart: Kommunismus als pure Ideologie, ursprünglich entstanden, um die Interessen von Arbeitenden weltweit umzulenken auf die imperialistischen Interessen eines Staates, entstanden aus einer schlussendlich gescheiterten Revolution, mit dem einzigen Vorteil, dass man zumindest ab und an die rote Maske aufziehen muss, um die Illussion gegenüber anderen, aber vor allem der eigenen Psyche aufrechtzuerhalten.

Bóbr kurwa

BEARBEITUNG: Oha, ich habe ja heute erst gelernt, was das in vollkommen akkurater Übersetzung heißt :O

(Entschuldigt das Angelsächsisch)

Hey, my favourite video of all time on YT is by a Pole!

I do wonder what differences in philosophy and development led to something like Blender to be pretty accepted even in pro circles?

For me, personally, the moment I found out you can easily install a version of gimp that doesn’t distribute it’s tools and canvas across a dozen windows was when it began to feel “right” for me. Granted, I am only using it as an amateur for meme and touching up on graphics for game dev, but it feels right to me at least.

I think it will hinge on one thing: Will AI provide an experience that is maybe worse, but still sufficient to keep the market share, at lower cost than putting in the proper effort? If so, it might still become a tragic “success”-story.

Hah, yeah, I’m poor (relatively to being in a rich country with thankfully at least a subsistence-allowing social system), and my for the most of my life undiagnosed autism and related personality disorder left me with many phases where I was unable to leave my apartment to get groceries. It’s amazing how low you can end up lowering your standards if you get truly hungry, and have next to nothing “proper” available.

Ist halt ein internetweites Phänomen, dass sich solche Abspaltungen bilden, wenn die Leute die gegen Safe Spaces wettern ihren Safe Space brauchen.
