[11:05:57] <nonesuch> Stop responding to aristarchus! Don't feed the troll! He will destroy us all, by saying mean and hurtful things about all of us, if any of us reply to his provocations and merciless mockery!
[11:08:30] <nonesuch> Oh, almost forgot. Just popped in to say that there is something wrong with the site. Doesn't seem to be working correctly.

[19:08:32] <chromas> Shouldn't those signs be TLA logos? also the tiktok ban was bipartisan
[19:12:53] <fab23> I wonder what would happen if the EU does force an US company to be owned by an EU company? :) https://daringfireball.net
[19:12:53] <systemd> ^ 03House Passes Bill That Requires ByteDance to Sell TikTok or Face Ban in the U.S.
[19:12:56] <drussell> I think it's probably more the corporate overlords than anything else
[19:13:39] <fab23> I guess it really is that the TLAs have access to the data for "Security" reasons.
[19:15:22] <janrinok> I am not aware of anyone in Europe wanting TikTok as a business. Of course, all the trendy people want to use it. The EU has, I believe, similar security concerns to the USA. The people that they are potentially collecting information on today will be the captains of industry or politicians of tomorrow. The Chinese always play the long game.
[19:16:03] <chromas> Same reason we wanted to ban Huawei. China gettin' all them juicy datas and not sharing with our own gubbermint
[19:17:03] <janrinok> chromas, you've been fairly low profile this weekend. Have had a good weekend?
[19:17:04] <chromas> also if China can spy on us it helps them to spy on people who manage to sneak outside their firewall
[19:17:22] <janrinok> *Have you had
[19:17:39] <chromas> it's alright so far. did a bit of sleeping in
[19:18:46] <janrinok> That is always a good thing to do.
[19:19:38] <janrinok> Mine is drawing to a close, but I have probably spent more time on here/site than I should have done. Got some work done outside the house yesterday - about 3 hours total.
[19:33:19] <mrpg> Putin wins with 88% o the votes
[19:33:54] <mrpg> 15 million of voters
[19:34:25] <mrpg> Weird, in some places a person voted every 5 minutes...
[19:34:33] <mrpg> Not suspicious at all.

[20:39:43] <chromas> Thanks Very Not Much ;)
[23:42:35] <chromas> > Here's your reminder that Chat-GPT when said in French sounds exactly like the French for "Cat, I farted".
[23:43:17] <chromas> People are starting to use "AI' to generate bug reports on github
[23:43:29] <chromas> https://mastodon.social
[23:43:30] <systemd> ^ 03daniel:// stenberg:// (@bagder@mastodon.social)
[23:43:56] <requerdanos> I realize that I have lost this fight, but to have AI you have to have I, and we don't have I very prevalent naturally, and none artificially.
[23:44:42] <chromas> AI is just normie speak for neural net
[23:45:01] <requerdanos> like people say "hoverboard" when they mean "chinese electric skateboard"
[23:45:26] <chromas> hey now, it's not just any skateboard. it's a rotated two-wheel skateboard
[23:45:42] <requerdanos> yes, though that's an odd way to spell retarded
[23:45:46] <chromas> a segway without the ..uh...seg
[23:46:26] <requerdanos> Just as "AI" is artificial, sure, but without the intelligence.
[23:47:14] <chromas> call it AFI
[23:47:29] <chromas> F for Fake, Fart, Fa
[23:48:09] <requerdanos> maybe I am wrong and AI subtly is referring to the "intelligence" itself as something artificial, which is about right I guess
[23:49:44] <chromas> heh, remember when the segway was gonna revolutionize cities and all that? However many beelions of dollars spent to research it
[23:49:55] <chromas> then some guy made his own in his spare time https://tlb.org
[23:49:55] <systemd> ^ 03tlb: Building Balancing Scooter
[23:50:18] <requerdanos> segways failed to revolutionize the world as advertised, unfortunately.
