The worst that my country wants to do with my data is attempt to sell me shit I don’t want. (OK yeah we have one or two taboos: antisemitism and actual terrorism, but that’s about it.)

In some other countries, drawing parallels with certain emperors and certain A.A.Milne characters could cost me my freedom and possibly my life. Ain’t nothing stopping me standing outside #10 and yelling Rishi is a wanker!

What rules can we add that solve this problem? (I’ve tried DDG but didn’t find any results)

“fictional AI CP” isn’t a thing. AI is trained on existing data. It does not create new stuff. If you want AI to generate CP then you have to train it on CP.

I hope he was wearing a sonky

I had the misfortune to have to share an office with a bunch of sales morons. I can recommend Bose idiot-cancelling headphones. What a bunch of selfish noisy fuckwombles.

Well if Brutus took over, Brutey?

This whale is near. That country is far away.

Heh, I wonder how the ml tankies are spinning this one and what browser they’re going to use instead of Nazifox or whatever stupid name they’re using for it now.

“reputations” hehe, nice one.

How does a CPU drop support for an OS? Seems the wrong way round to me. Is there a Windows 10 specific way of loading 5 into the accumulator or something?

I know someone who insists LOL means “lots of love”.

His text “My mother-in-law died last night LOL” still fails to parse.

I doubt the majority of MS users need to tail a log file. And of those of us that do, how many don’t know that Notepad++ does it?

Sure. But there’s a process.

1. Patience.
2. Send prophets to try to correct behaviour.
3. More patience.
4. More prophets.
5. Patience and prophets, over and over.
6. OK fine, you won’t have it any other way. Judgment.

We see prophets actually work. Jonah didn’t want to go to Nineveh, he wanted to jump straight to 6, but God had other plans. When God finally got him to go to Nineveh, the people listened, repented, and judgment was avoided. The reason Jonah didn’t want to go is that he thought there was a strong possibility of that outcome and he wanted the Ninevites to suffer judgment.

Hmm… just noticed the sidebar. This defence of the OT probably violates Rule 1. Forget the above, yay God, what a dick, punishing people for being evil!

Next time you’re driving somewhere, just pick a pedal and push it to see if it has the desired effect. If you go faster that’s the gas. If you go slower that’s the brake. If neither of them do anything try switching the engine on. You might need to fiddle with the gearstick as well, one of them makes you go backwards, the others are forwards. Just experiment and you’ll figure it out.

Preferably well away from any othe traffic.

We even like combining them in one thing. Tyres are measured using inches for one dimension and millimetres for the other two.

Why would you demand metric everything and not metric time?

I’d probably DuckDuckGo it. I based that comment on the use of the words “what” and “about”.

/me visits DDG…

Eh, maybe it’s the wrong word. This sort of reminds me of a discussion I saw on YT a few months ago between a Christian taking the eye argument, and Prof Dawkins giving his best response: lots of mights, maybes, could’ves, topped off with billions of years, which doesn’t appear to satisfy the former who then follows up with “what about…” I can’t remember what, but I do remember the gist of Dawkins’ response which was something along the lines of: you led with your best; I answered that; I’m not going round in circles at this point. So I’m with Dawkins now (and in fact as a Christian I actually agree with a lot of what he says. We do need to think things through and not take them on blind faith.)

So in other words I’ve given a sound explanation for the dashing babies on a rock question and I’m going to leave it there.

Sure, but we’re not in a gentleness and respect situation here. There’s me, and there’s a bunch of rabid fundamentalist atheists present. And no doubt some calm and rational ones too, but they’re not making themselves known at the moment. For example just look at the strawman (the bit between quotes) and judgmentalism (the prefix to your bible quote) in your own post. I think a good debater could and would avoid both those potholes.

Not my quote but I like it nonetheless: when asking WWJD, remember that turning over tables and chasing everyone round with a whip is an option.

Thank you for your carefully crafted contribution to the conversation.

Well it’s only Windows that’s complaining it can’t install Windows 11 on my Windows 10 laptop. I’m not mothballing perfectly good hardware just because Microsoft is having a tantrum.
