What? No I was saying that NOT criticizing GNOME just because of the old thought-terminating cliché of "don't use it then" is silly because it's important to critique everything and no one is just saying it's "garbage" apart from people in your head
This is a dumb take too, it's important to criticize and scrutinize anything and everything down to the smallest detail to understand what works and what doesn't, how and why that is the case in order to make better decisions for the future. You have to think critically, especially about software even when it's a matter of preference.
Nope. Politics to me is what everything ultimately comes down to. People have thoughts, and those thoughts are sometimes ideas, those ideas can then form philosophies, which when explored in the context of the world forms ideologies - logically reasoned systems of ideas that can be broken down into decisions and modifications that allow it to be implemented, which is politics.
To truly know what goes in the world we have created is to know politics, therefore to be uncurious about it is to be uncurious about the world itself.
I know people who are like that, and it seems they just consume products instead and get excited for the next product, I try not to think less of them, but if I'm completely honest it seems very childish to me, it's one thing to be ignorant of politics and history when you're 14 because all you care about is xbox, but when you're in your mid to late 20s struggling to parse basic allegories or recall what was in the news that year, its not great.
Android's Material You is absolutely disgusting though with it's bizarre theming choices and piss-like pastels and fucked notification shade and the dark mode circle jerk and it frankly seems to be an attempt to assassinate material design and everything that made it a defining tech aesthetic of the late 2010s
My psychiatrist asked me that once during an ADHD diagnosis, listing several examples of some common ones, and I said "all those" unflinchingly because I was super restless and anxious during the diagnosis appointment which was also during work and he jolted and pulled out a little cartoonish handkerchief to wipe his brow it was like an old timey book
Note my WhatsApp chats were nothing like this dude's format, they were actually way way worse and had little to deliminate by in the loose text file it exported out to, so I had to write my own very dirty code to recreate the files, it's way easier with Telegram chat exports and I should've just done that so just sayin' YMMV.
I'll probably share my code once I get the actual telegram bot API integration all cleaned up and add some features
I've been planning on rewriting some of the training code also but I hardly really understand this stuff, my ML knowledge ends with simple classifiers
TIL. Had no idea it was even already a term but should've guessed as much. Maybe I could spin it to say society as a whole is collapsing, and human life has a low value right now?
Technically I already made a locally running chatbot of myself my gf has access to trained on my early messages with her using a GitHub project I found and changed a file or two in, so does that render me immortal in some capacity? Would I make money from this by preying on the vulnerable if I was a vulture capitalist?
Social media is just another scapegoat like Russian bots.
The truth is much worse: most people are, and have always been awful, bloodthirsty ghoulish pieces of shit and they were so before social media, you just know it now.
