  • The average person could donate a fraction of a cent and be giving away more excess than a billionaire when speaking in relative terms

  • I'm very much critical of those topics, but they're a bit beyond the scope of my initial comment. Just to make it clear, I'm not a centrist nor a Liberal voter. My original point is that the average Canadian LPC voter is not voting out of malice for others but out of a desire for stability (especially now in a time where things are very unstable). For example, a Liberal would generally want existing social support systems like our socialised healthcare to continue being funded at the levels that meet people's needs but are generally anxious at the idea of funding new similar programs like pharmacare.

    Most of these voters also have zero real insight or historical context on geopolitical topics such as neocolinialism and I can say confidently that they're not thinking about it when voting.

    I think it's all ignorant, misguided and lacks vision but I don't consider it something that's worthy of being labeled "bad".

  • Sorry, what are you referring to exactly? If it's the treatment of indigenous peoples in Canada or historical collaboration with the US' imperialistic wars then I'd agree with you but I know the average Liberal voter isn't thinking about either of those things. While it's bad that it's not on their mind, I wouldn't call them bad people for it as I would do with enthusiastic supporters of Pierre Poilievre's CPC

  • Centrists in Canada are just Liberals and while I disagree with some of their policies, they're not bad, just status quo. Centrists in the US are undoubtedly bad though because what the hell?

  • Nono, you've got to give Americans more credit as they did do something: they voted him into office again

  • They uploaded the Bash 3.3 reference manual and even that had some redactions so your theory is almost definitely correct

  • Somewhat, yeah. A lot of hacking is like that along with social engineering

  • I think LLMs are fine in moderation. It can be a useful tool in software development as long as it stays just a tool and you don't let it write your whole codebase.

    I think LLMs should stay the hell out of the artistic space though. I'm not even remotely an artist but that's the one thing that is and should remain a human thing. Computer automating art is gross

  • Is that actually happening? Is there an article because that's wild

  • Toys R Us too! In Canada at least

  • If you go in to your user preferences on the Lemmy.world desktop site there's a toggle for "show bot account" or something like that

  • not using fish?

  • I grew up on source film maker slop but I will take the opportunity to hate on the corporatisation of SFM shitposts. Why the fuck is there skibidi toilet merch? A movie? What the fuck, are they going to make a movie based on Shrekophone? Fucking fuck I want off this ride

  • XKCD made me aware of the fact that this sorta joke has been going on since way before any of us were born. 23 skidoo is an old trendy phrase that's made up of two jokes that mean nothing definable on their own

    Today's 67 is 1899's 23

    From the XKCD alt text:

    In 1899, people were walking around shouting `23' at each other and laughing, and confused reporters were writing articles trving to figure out what it meant.

  • What the fuck sort of shit aren't they sharing then? Fucking hell

  • I haven't watched the movie but I choose to believe this is true and will dutifully share this information

  • Jesus fucking Christ, is that actually from the new files?

  • I have an LG C1 and my shield pro works with CEC out of the box. I do find the LG remote a bit laggy compared to the stock remote though so I still use that one mainly
