  • Oh no, far more visceral. Nothing about the aesthetics.

    The brick pictured makes my hands feel dry and papery. That's from when I was a kid, so I know what that's about. Buuuut....

    There was a period where cement was used on wire frames to do sculpture - makes me want to gag. Fully repulsive to me. A tree made from cement angers me. It's all trash to me, zero redeeming elements.

    A large cement column in a building under construction? I intentionally avoid it so as not to touch it. They smell bad, too. Once painted, I'm totally fine with them.

    Dry cement powder? I would rather touch fire.

    It's a sensory processing thing. Can't explain it more than that I guess.

  • There's a reason. Two, in fact.

    1. A lot more people in general on Lemmy work in IT or tech or have actual coding backgrounds. And anyone who can code isn't impressed by code from an LLM. It can save time, but as a first draft that needs work, not something ready for production. The same is true for anything an AI generates. If you don't know what you're doing, it seems impressive. If you know what you're doing, it's a janky workable mess that it at least a decent starting point.
    2. Bots push a lot of AI slop and AI buzzword posts, and bots are the reason why a lot of us left Reddit. So posts like this ping everyone's radar for bots invading their safe space.

    Anyway, good luck, and as a warning, if your phone is all you have, running LLM code on it directly may be a great way to introduce vulnerabilities since so much LLM code ends up horribly insecure.

  • It's not just this community, Lemmy generally hates AI.

    Maybe take it to the Vibecode subreddit?

  • Don't know why, but I totally get this. Like, 100%, I just have it as a general feeling of disgust that I can ignore.

    Edit: specifically cement blocks like the one pictured. That exact shape and texture of cement is the worst for me.

  • That embryo frozen for 24 years or whatever that was successfully implanted and carried to term didn't emerge from the womb 6'1" with an MBA.

    Would you have looked at an embryo frozen for 18 years and said "uh-hhuhuh, she's totally legal"?

    Same logic applies.

  • Decentralized Cloud Storage

    Jump

  • There's a blockchain version called Filecoin that is basically a combination of torrent file sharing mechanics stored in decentralized locations. The "coin" part is their workaround to sort of define the equity of hosting.

    I haven't used it, just heard about it recently and it seems interesting.

    Edit: Now that I think about it, it's just big Syncthing on the chain.

  • If they wanted a backdoor, making it a law to create backdoors in everything like China does would be so much easier.

    This is 100% to juke economic stats and use taxpayer money to further inflate stock prices.

  • I once noticed that everywhere the products are, so to speak, dead, or rather, plastic, and completely nutritious. Maybe it's worth becoming a farmer yourself and eating truly healthy food?

  • Don't get all conspiracy theory here. Cost, convenience, and leveraging human desire for salt, fat, and sugar are all traps we walk into willingly. Humans aren't built to resist so many easy temptations. Smoking cigarettes killed millions. Tons of people still smoke.

    As for eating well, just focus of using fresh ingredients and not buying things (if you can help it) in plastic packaging. Use glass or metal for food storage. Get some carbon steel and cast iron cookwear. Olive oil and butter before seed oils. Do what you can, you'll never get it all.

  • Funny SearXNG behaviour

    Jump

  • As I understand it, SearXNG instances are proxies, and can be proxies for multiple search engines at once. My guess would be that if the instance you're using is aggregating more then one engine results, hitting enter over and over might just break the search with one of the engines and drop those results.

  • You're entitled to your opinion, but I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the issues here.

    Chinese hardware level backdoors are vulnerabilities to be exploited anywhere you are on earth, and you ONLY have that issue alone if you flash a new ROM. Stock Xiaomi's OS MUI is definitely more riddled with CVEs that make it far less secure if you use the regular OS. Apple's security only relies on their proprietary lockdown of everything, which means no privacy guaranteed other than data encrypted at rest. They're both very bad options. Arguing about which is super bad terrible and only very bad terrible doesn't prevent you from choosing a bad option.

  • Is there a name for the dark-fantasy/pirate genre?

    Jump

  • Oh, no problem. I think it's kind of fascinating how we chose to do our storytelling. And plus I would also love to see more dark pirate fantasy fiction as a genre.

    And one element is that while Hays Code pirates were just syrupy sweet sanitized romance and stupid action for the sake of it, history (which was ignored) is problematic for pirates. All the big names were literal rapists and murderers, and many executed, so lack of being a noble outlaw confirmed. No one named cities or bridges or anything after them. So while Jack Sparrow being fictional helps, even within the PotC universe he's atypical for not being a thug. So it's hard to really sanitize the whole group when the most notable real life pirates were terrible people, or mercenaries for the English or the Spanish. Then you get into geopolitical nuance. Also, there's an awkward point if a child loves pirates that they start looking up IRL pirates and it can be a record-scratch realization that real pirates were filthy. Other than the comedy, The Monty Python-Adjacent movie Yellowbeard actually has some real and faithful depictions of pirates.

    Personally, I think sci-fi does a better job with this because the limitation of a large crew needed to run a ship can be waved away. Once you get out of that limitation, get out of the period itself with cannons and flintlocks, things get a lot more open in terms of plot options. But it's all the same dynamics to some degree.
