I’ve had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I’d rather go out on my own terms.

Plus, any kind of money making scheme I’d think of is likely going to end up like the “aim for the bushes” scene in The Other Guys.

The author of the site works for Brave. The results need to be taken with a grain of salt. Is is more private than Chrome? Absolutely. Is it the best browser for privacy? Ehhh…

My favorite example is this one, because it’s a faithful translation of the meaning of the song while substituting words to keep the rhymes.

That is literally called The Gallop!

As in contract law, the solution is to eliminate overarching or vague promises. Instead of promising to “balance the budget”, have them produce a budget plan. Instead of promising elections reform, promise election reform pilot programs. And let’s not kid ourselves, election promises made in good faith are a rarity these days. It’s time to make it harder to lie to the electorate.

Punishing the breaking of election promises would be a start. Those are not ambiguous or unintentional, and it should be punishable as a breach of contract.

No. Most large Reddit communities are toxic, both on the user and mod end. Let Lemmy grow at its own pace without repeating the same mistakes Reddit made.

He refers to the fact that the web app does not have default access to your device sensors, microphone, storage, etc.

Rubber. I went in knowing it was a WTF film, but had NO idea how far out it was. It made Sharknado make sense by comparison.

Both are concerning, but as a former academic to me neither of them are as insidious as the harm that LLMs are already doing to training data. A lot of corpora depend on collecting public online data to construct data sets for research, and the assumption is that it’s largely human-generated. This balance is about to shift, and it’s going to cause significant damage to future research. Even if everyone agreed to make a change right now, the well is already poisoned. We’re talking the equivalent of the burning of Alexandria for linguistics research.

Sounds like Lord Farquaad: “Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
