I don’t mean it to extol LLM’s but rather to denigrate humans. How many of us are self imprisoned in echo chambers so we can have our feelings validated to avoid the uncomfortable feeling of thinking critically and perhaps changing viewpoints?

Humans have the ability to actually think, unlike LLM’s. But it’s frightening how far we’ll go to make sure we don’t.

Most humans don’t reason. They just parrot shit too. The design is very human.

That would explain why it sometimes gets sluggish!

64TB and 100TB, niiiice

Yeah, why aren’t there any?

Fascinating!

Yeah I believe tape is still king there. LTO is working on some 500+ TB tape for the future IIRC.

Notepad++ is good.

Mumla the ever living!

Thanks!

Time to dust off my old Mumble server!

Cancelled mine when they redesigned the mobile app anyway. I don’t want a different interface on mobile vs desktop. I want a unified experience, which was their original purpose.

I use an ancient HTTP File Server program called HFS from Rejetto. Very light weight. Supports making user accounts and whatnot if you want.

I usually just turn it on for a transfer and don’t leave it up these days, but still comes in handy on occasion.

Ka-POW! ZAP!

Yeah I’m not saying any of that. I’m saying these people would be better served learning to not care what others say than trying to make the world speak in a way that doesn’t upset them.

If you don’t think you can learn to manage your emotions instead of letting your emotions manage you, then you are just a perpetual victim. And the universe doesn’t particularly care.

You know what the vocal minority is? Mean people aren’t going away, and there will always be one asshole to make you feel bad. Much more effective to not care what the asshole says.

The real question is, why be offended when no offense was intended? What even is the point of talking, of communication, if not to convey one mind to another? And if intent can be surmised and subsequently dismissed, isn’t that a rejection of the premise of communicating in the first place?

You mean not learn new things like purposefully missing my point? Yeah, big loss. Where are you getting this 90% stat from? Your feelings?

Did everyone forget the Equifax breach?

Yeah, clearly you’ve never seen a Karen.

Emotions aren’t inherently positive or negative. It’s what you do with the emotions that has actual moral substance.

Here, let’s look at it this way.

I say something, and it made you sad. However, you know full well my intent was not to make you sad. Despite this, you use your sadness to guilt me about the thing. So now I feel sad that you are purposefully misinterpreting my meaning.

I am offended that you are offended. Explain to my why my feeling is invalid and yours is valid.

Anyone can feel bad about anything.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” -Eleanor Roosevelt

I’m not saying go around purposely making people sad. I’m saying don’t make your sadness my issue.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Like my friends thought I was extra confident and brave, but no I’m terrified just like everyone is. I just find the unknown and the uncertain way more terrifying and uncomfortable, so I’m always asking why why why till I figure out what’s going on.
