unless the ustashe independently invented it
They did, they weren't instructed by German nazis on what words to use. Not that it makes any difference, ustašas were just the local variant of fascists.
That's true. But people pointing out that the whole attempt is absurd and senseless also reinforces the point that current AI isn't what companies tout it as.
then you likely live in a bubble of tech nerds
Well, we are on Lemmy...
Also it’s not like this is some important topic with societal implications. It’s just a technical question that I had (and still doesn’t) that doesn’t mandate researching.
So why "research" it with AI in the first place, if you don't care about the results and don't even think it's worth researching? This is legitimately absurd to read.
are you comfortable with a single corporation having control over this sort of service?
Honestly? A tiny bit more than a single country. I have at least some miniscule control over the corporation through voting and local regulations that international corporations must follow, whereas I have absolutely no formal influence on US govt.
Which govt? I'm not comfortable with the idea of the current US govt having control over this sort of service.
This is mainly why I signed it. I honestly don't care about new games, and the whole narrative around the campaign is frankly infantile, but it should at the very least be a start towards fighting such practices in general.
r/196 on reddit had a neat "I'm spreading misinformation online" tag that would be useful here...
He has audiobooks? For reals? OMFG.
He reads/records other people's books and puts it on his YT channel that's linked on his profile, it's not his own writing.
I guess I should've posted the reddit comments earlier on in the comment chain.
seemed very subjective
Him literally saying it is subjective? Operating from a US address is subjective? His language (including his natural American pronunciation that you can hear in his audiobooks) and the language of all of his sources is subjective?
And yeah, sorry chief, CIA saying that people saying bad stuff about CIA is SSSR propaganda is a bit too much even for me. I'll go ahead and say it - suggesting that a tankie, despite the actual evidence in his online activity, has simply got to be a non-American because clearly he just hates USA too much, is a very American-brained and Red-Scare-ish idea.
I've no problem with you being skeptical, but consider the actual examples:
Leaf through his other comments as well, let me know what's your impression.
I never said editing registry files is "common sense", but in the grand scheme of things it's very simple and, yes, quite idiot-proof (go here and here, create file this and that, set value to 1). That may count as pro to some but I'm pretty sure it's not enough to actually work with Linux (which one of my family members uses so I see it in practice).
Besides, considering this comment
Most of those registry keys are not documented, and it’s very hard to be completely sure about what you are touching.
Maybe it's precisely the fact that I'm brazenly tinkering with registry files that renders me not-as-pro as some might think.
I've no idea what that means but ok

Language Science Press: "Negation in English and other languages" by Otto Jespersen
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Just published "Negation in English and other languages" by Otto Jespersen, edited by Brett Reynolds & Peter Evans
https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/501
Otto Jespersen's landmark study of negation provides a wide-ranging analysis of how languages express negative meaning. Drawing on an impressive array of historical texts and comparative examples, primarily from Germanic and Romance languages, Jespersen examines the forms, functions, and historical development of negative expressions. The work traces the evolution of negative markers, analyzes how negative prefixes modify word meanings, and reveals coherent patterns in how languages structure negative expressions.
Through meticulous analysis of authentic examples, Jespersen documents both common patterns and language-specific variations in negative expressions. His treatment of topics such as double negation, the distinction between special and nexal negation, and the various forms of negative particles provides a methodical account of negation's complexity. The work's enduring importance stems not only from its analysis of the cyclical renewal of negative markers (later termed “Jespersen's Cycle”) but from its comprehensive scope and detailed examination of negative expressions across multiple languages and historical periods.
This new critical edition makes this classic work accessible to modern readers while preserving its scholarly depth. The text has been completely re-typeset, with examples presented in contemporary numbered format and non-English examples given Leipzig-style glosses. A new introduction contextualizes Jespersen's achievement and demonstrates its continued significance for current linguistic research.
I've recently opened a community for discussing Heroes of Might and Magic series (discussion of related games is welcome too: Might and Magic RPGs, etc.).
The community is here: [email protected]
Of course, the current hot topic is the upcoming new installment in the series... well not that much of a hot topic yet, since the comm has just 5 subscribers for now, but you can help with that! :D
Nice!
Also, this site tracks the uptime of LG and other pirate libraries: SLUM: The Shadow Library Uptime Monitor.
There was little to no actual anti-communism at play at that point (although it was still relevant symbolically). Both sides were already capitalist. Yugoslavia had been on the path of liberalisation for quite a while before the breakup.
Btw, that excuse that Thompson and his fans regularly use is bullshit, the phrase was picked by Croatian extremists (especially the paramilitary HOS) in the 90s because it was used by ustašas (fascists) half a century earlier in the first place.
