some trumpian sleaze ball :

Because your difficulties are my opportunities!

I was wondering about the source for this figure. For the curious, it comes from a private report from an independent consulting firm in the UK called MacroStrategy Partnership. I found this article talking about it, dated 2025-10-3.

Who cares about productivity. You’ve reclaimed your time, and napping is probably better for you than whatever you were getting from Reddit.

If you just asked without the gun, it would have been an enthusiastic yes. Trust your choices dammit.

yeah I don’t really think what I’ve written above is coming. I just expect nothing less from that class than to turn a solution into a new problem. Should have been more explicit about that.

“So, I don’t get why you people keep complaining. This is a green technology! Why are you so mad we’ve been evaporating the oceans at a speed to keep up with the demand for sodium? As if this is what has been causing all these new hurricanes and flood!”

• A trillionaire in 20 years or something.

The current timeline made me into a grumpy pessimist. I need to get out of that mindset.

pretty sure that is the big crunch hypothesis

I keep hearing that about Ensemble Montreal, but never saw any reporting on it. You got sources to share?

Interested in Transition Montreal actually, but haven’t done my due diligence yet on any of the parties.

oh yeah most definitely and I agree. My real serious positions are :

• Tax billionaires
• let’s create more common services for shit everybody needs (housing, food, insurance, etc)
• start setting up universal basic income for the rest

My previous comment was more of a way to commiserate about those services than offering the advice that This Is The Way.

Imagine if a people actually chose to ban those websites tho. I would start my journey to become a Turk. (♫ ff7 turks theme and snaps ♫) Unfortunately, Erdoğan.

isn’t that the premise of ReBoot?

Fixed bat for you

I got this curse, though it only doubles a letter, not nine-tuples it. The biggest curse, is that the only cure I found when the curse starts, it is to remove the keyboard drivers and let Windows (ugh, I know) reinstall them. Here’s the keyboard drivers I’m presented with each timee : (double e left in for good measure)

Klaus would disagree

FYI for future reference, you can just switch the “x.com” part of the link with “xcancel.com” if you’d rather not send others to The Cesspool. A reflection of The Cesspool still smells, but not as much.

Let’s hope you’re ready to handle this package. Try your best!

Just to make sure, your issue is :

But I cannot access https://audiobookshelf.local.com/ or http://audiobookshelf.local.com/ (it automatically forwards to HTTPS).

If so, well, you’re forcing SSL, which means it’ll automatically transmit http request to https. If you don’t want that, turn it off. Anyway, it’s going to be used only locally, correct?

This can’t be real

I’ll spell out for you why I feel these two things are the same. You’re welcome to disagree, but maybe it will give you some pointers as to why a lot of people are annoyed by these LLM copy-pasta.

First, a note for your ego : Remember, we don’t know you! You might have read through the whole thing that the LLM generated, and then cross-referenced the sources it gave you and then found some more, and you established the veracity of what it told you. OR you might have not bothered and just copy-pasted it for the clout, I guess, which is what the majority of LLM users do when publishing these answers. Ask for some explanations on how to solve a problem to a student who let a LLM give them the answer to an assignment instead of doing the work, if you need proof. 9/10 won’t be able to, because they didn’t bother to understand it - and I’m being generous in my statistics, in my experience.

There’s also a lot of research that hints that the long term effect of using this tool in that way are deleterious to your critical thinking skills.
We don’t know you, so, chances are you’re in the lot of the majority, as far as we’re concerned.

Then, given that you probably didn’t put much effort into this text (as far as we can tell), there is an imbalance of effort required for us to look through it critically. Why the fuck would we put in the effort, if you most likely were not keen in putting so much in yourself? That’s kinda disrespectful, and egotistical. And also why I feel I am justified to assume that ctrl+c/ctrl+v an LLM output directly is tantamount to copy pasting a list of link from google. If you went through the trouble of validating the LLM output, how about just writing with your own word what you just realized / learned / validated? You can even dictate with tons of FOSS software nowadays if you’re unable to type!

So that’s what I have for now, food for your thoughts I hope. I’m sure I could find more reasons, but I’m going to go do something fun instead.

You realize that if we wanted to see an AI LLM response, we’d ask an AI LLM ourselves. What you’re doing is akin to :

Hey guys, I’ve asked google if the new png is backward compatible, and here are the first links it gave me, hope this helps : [list 200 links]
