looking at all these replies and quotes, i can't figure out why the developers of this app would be interested in some kind of anti-toxicity/anti-dogpiling features... no clue!

I've been trying hard to keep up with the new JJK manga and boy do I just not care for the story. The Boruto Effect is in full swing here!

Sure. I'm not going to jump in front of bullets for anyone who works at Bsky. I think they do good work and probably have good intentions, but they have done things I vehemently disagree with.

My frustration was the low-effort and misunderstood post volume vs actual discourse.

I think the thing is that there are many torment nexuses in our lives at various scales of damage. Anduril is as close as you can get to a literal torment nexus, Twitter is really bad but nowhere in the same league.

A Reddit thread from roughly eight months ago with three replies, names of users are censored. First user: "Social media like Instagram and tiktok is a bit of a torment nexus when you think about it." Second user: "This, If twitter was a actual place it would be tunnel where strangers slowly approach you and say the most insane shit and if you interact with them your suddenly surrounded by tens of people in a massive discourse war, everything about tiktok, twitter and Instragram is actively designed to make you insane for retention." Third user: "social media, especially dealing with parasocial issues, is pretty close to what Fahrenheit 451 was actually warning us about."

I completely disagree, it is quite literally often used to describe social media. Even a quick Google can give you the exact thing you say doesn't exist.

I'll be 100% honest, I wasn't for a lot of the experimental features they plan to ship in the near future. But after seeing all this, please give them to me immediately.

I think the discourse around this has been the most mind meltingly dumb shit I've ever seen on this website. And that's saying a lot considering what is considered "site drama" here.

The fact that people don't seem to know what the phrase "is often used" means is a big signal that we're cooked.

This line of thinking doesn't make much sense imo. Any softsubbed piece of media is already very ingestable and the typesetting aspect won't hinder interpretability.

If we're going to get conspiratorial, something properly typeset is likely *better* for them as it's structured and annotated data!

Mamdani is running for mayor, not governor, so Cuomo could just return to the suburbs. That's not why he says this.

This is basically an admission that he'd be so thoroughly embarrassed by getting his ass whooped *again* that he'd have to go into self-exile from the whole God damn state.

Seriously, fuck this guy!

Cuomo should drop out for many reasons, but this absolute garbage is high up there.

The denizens of Yd Freehold are forever in your debt for this

And if he's genuine, he'd recognize the importance of the moment and why this issue really is a showstopper.

He should repent by not only getting that shit lasered off (he should do this regardless), but also by both stepping aside and acknowledging the issue. Then he can support another candidate.

Fetterman was a great disappointment and a huge lesson in vetting progressive candidates / the importance of stroke mitigation.

Let's not potentially make the same mistake but worse by putting our time and effort into someone who happily had SS material tattooed on his chest. Even if he says sorry!

I know a lot of people are upset because we're staring down the barrel of some awful shit and we need any wins we can get. Why turn our noses up at this real chance of salvation? He seems earnest!

... but whose to say this isn't what he actually believes? What if he *doesn't* help?

Platner has said he'd remove the tattoo but, like, so what? There was a window of time for that and it's long gone!

It's incredibly disappointing on so many levels that this is how things turned out. He had (has?) a real chance of defeating Collins, but even if he could I'm not sure that he should.

This whole saga has been a series of rakes, both for Platner and everyone giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I could believe, though question, getting this tattooed while drunk in Croatia and being ignorant to meaning. That disappears once people learn you've referred to it by name in the past.

So what can we do about it? This situation is very analogous to the challenge of revisiting the default Sized bound, and I think the same basic approach that I outlined in [this blog post][sized] will work.

The link to your blog post on Sized seems to be broken.

spicy opinion: you can tell software engineering isn't _real_ engineering because nobody makes animated "explaining the disaster" videos about shit like this the way they do the FIU pedestrian bridge collapse or the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse

where's our USCSB youtube account

You and I both know you are all over this thread acting like this to everyone who is responding to you. Hope you find your peace my guy.

While I think you are somewhat correct in terms of GNU/Linux being more usable than people realize, I think you're either severely misunderstanding what Proton is or are wading into a deep deep pool of semantics wrt what is and isn't emulation. You're also just coming off as an ass.

Bro I don't even know why Cuomo even showed up, he just gets dog walked by Mamdani every single time.

He definitely has a humiliation kink or something because there is no reason for him to subject us to this in such a public forum.

We shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater, but I just don't want to lose the soul that exists in human work.

This is the essence beyond the final product, to watch someone struggle and grow to develop to gain the skills necessary to share those deep parts of themselves with the world.

Personally, I'm finding a lot more value in AI as a super-Google where I can put my thoughts, get feedback / direction, and then continue my research from there.

I also think there is a ton of value in terms of first-pass filtering/moderation/personalization. Stuff you can algo, but only so well.

I'm writing this as someone who has vibe coded a few things. Stuff definitely happens, work gets done, but I still feel as though it's meant to be a starting point. Like a create-react-app that scaffolds something more specific to what you want to build. A sketch that needs polish.

- "Vibe X" (where X is some skill) will cause a lot of harm for learners and cause many to plateau early (maybe this changes?)

- Most things produced with AI don't have much value and can absolutely be categorized as slop

- Authenticity and provenance is basically existential risk now
