@sophie I've already seen places where people are like, "I wasn't sure about this medical topic so I asked ChatGPT and it surprisingly knew the answer." My response, "It gave you an answer. Did you confirm the answer was correct?" This is worse than blindingly taking the first answer from Stackoverflow without checking if it is right or makes any sense. It'd be like blindly taking the first web search result in the early web when some random quack site could come up as a top result. -

TL;DR seems to be that Substack is still a Nazi bar but they just want the Nazis to not wear their entire uniforms there any longer since it is freaking out the neighbors. Got it. Actually that may be too generous an interpretation of this development. I appreciate the efforts and the infinitesimal results that were achieved were more than I thought they'd get. But it's still just a Nazi bar. #Substack -

...also if the latest update for my phone is January why is it not even giving me that? Just a total shit show on Android. -

@garius @rodley Well if it helps crank up the Thiel animosity, the fraud problem reared its ugly head again later and the tool they built to try to address it was later spun out into the horrific company and products of Palantir. -

@garius @rodley Imagine how much better the world would have ended up if Musk managed to hold on to the reins and deep sixed their company and their fortunes with them :(. -

@woodsbythesea Oh yes! I use that comparison all the time :). -

@heluecht @woodsbythesea The lead in sentence of his Wikipedia entry summarizes him best: "Barnum was an American showman, businessman, and politician, remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus...". Ironically although there is no evidence he ever said it he is widely credited with the saying, "There's a sucker born every minute" too. -

@anders Thank you for the compliment! I’m enjoying doing it and using it since Friendica is pretty much my only social media now. -

It wasn't until digging into Musk background after the whole going after the guy who criticized his cave rescue submarine stunt that I realized how many times he just made shit up as on the verge of existing or 1-2 years away tops to have it be total BS. Good news, now there is a site that tracks it. It is truly mind bending that people take what he says at face value any longer. He is more grifter and charlatan than "real world Tony Stark" tech genius. The data is all there for you to see for yourself. #ElonMusk #MuskIsADick elonmusk.today/ -

@roland @heluecht Lots of "I'm not a misogynist I just refuse to use 'Ms' instead 'Mrs.' or 'Miss' even though you want me to be cause I don't think its proper" or "I have nothing against gay people I just don't want them living in my building or teaching in my schools" energy dude. But actually I wasn't referring to Jordan Peterson's lecture series, which was some "males should learn how to embrace the rage but control it" thing (whatever the fuck that means) and more the DailyWire anti-trans "documentary" "What is a Woman?" YouTube bombarded me with that damn thing multiple times a day for at least a week before I told it to stop showing me that ad. -

Speaking of YouTube stupidity, how does their ad algorithm alternate between sending me ads for transgender targeted health care service companies (something called Folx Health) and DailyWire+ "lecture series" featuring Jordan Peterson and anti-trans propaganda "documentaries" by the same outfit? -

@alx I have an old PowerBook G4 from a friend and was thinking of putting a PPC Linux or something on it to try to do a retro challenge. -

@heluecht @rysiek @amatecha @thgie @Tattooed_mummy Because he is a hypocritical sociopathic narcissistic megalomaniac that buys his own "I'm a real life Phony Stark!" BS? -

@heluecht @rysiek @thgieThis is the first I've heard about him being queer. God I hope not. We already have the other half of the PayPal mafia (Thiel) soiling our ranks, don't need Musk too. On the neuro-divergent thing, I've seen some skepticism of it but even if true I know several people who are that are pissy about how he uses that as a cop out to explain his bad behaviors since it throws the whole community under the bus. -

@sean I just started doubling down on trying to watch this series for the first time too. I'm now most of the way through Season 2. It is finally starting to hit its stride. You still need to grade on a curve against Star Trek because of their drastically lower budget and for the age (but need to do that for TNG too). It's still been a good watch. -

@atomicpoet Crap I thought he was breaking a story about someone who had been discriminated against by SUSE for being Jewish. I didn't realize that this was autobiographical. It should still be looked into and investigated that the receipts are real and SUSE address it if they are. -

@atomicpoet I imagine at best you'd get a he said, she said situation because his claimed documentation doesn't show what he says that it did. Hopefully the other people mentioned who experienced similar things step forward as well. OpenSUSE has a CoC and SUSE has a DEI group so I would imagine these sorts of things wouldn't be taken lightly if they have any enforcement of these things. -

@atomicpoet @chronrevisited Since these aren't anonymous allegations, the person making them is known to the community, and that person supposedly has receipts I'm hoping that people will take investigating it seriously. I wouldn't take anything Lunduke says at face value at this point but the good news is in this case we have enough information to properly investigate it.
