I think the way blocking gets used and then bragged about to the personal bubble on BS (I wouldn't know about Twitter) is kind of pathetic, but at the same time, I do not mind getting blocked, or put on any of those shitlists, because

Every time this gets repeated without a shred of evidence I have to think of the "beheaded babies" thing. "Feel better about the crimes against humanity you see us doing and bragging about by reading this spam email from a Ni

To me this doesn't seem like a step towards those foundations, but another layer of of loss of agency. You can run "a" model locally, but you cannot make it locally (at least not for the purpose of just talking software int

I once worked for a guy who typed 7 + 4 into a calculator, after freezing for 1.5 secs trying to work it out in his head. It was in a "stressful" situation (not something extreme, we just were in a hurry), and I'm sure the gu

Why would I care what others do or don't do, know or don't know, like or don't like, when it comes to Germans serving other right-wing extremist Germans talking points and votes on a silver platter, because they cannot be ars

For saving vertical space, my favorite thing about Firefox is Treestyle Tabs. I edited the CSS to make the font size a bit bigger, but make the padding so small it's slightly negative even (it would be horrible to read text like that,
