A LLM fed by wikipedia would really like certain words that I feel would be tells.

"WikiGPT is a portmanteau of wikipedia and ChatGPT"

Look.... the teevee told them to support it, so they support it!

Let's line up homeless people before suicide booths -- just like the good guys do!

Fuck John Bolton. And Fuck Donald Trump for bringing that piece of garbage back into government.

Those little drill battery inverters are incredible in a lot of unexpected ways. Sometimes you just need a plug for a bit of power somewhere there's no power.

"The name's Nicholas D. Wolfwood."

"What's the D. For?"

"Millie Thompson."

A promissory note is basically just a piece of paper saying "I promise to pay you this amount at this time". It might be secured or unsecured, and it might have an interest charge but it doesn't have to.

They are actually used relatively commonly in big business, because typically you'll place an order of materials or services, promising to pay at some amount of time after delivery. This means that despite not being a bank, the customer is indebted to the vendor for some period of time between delivery and payment, and the customer has promised to pay within a certain period of time (usually between 30 and 90 days)

Not saying I specifically endorse any of these, they're just a few that looked interesting.

Tbf, at least one person did the right thing, and now he's public enemy #1 and may die without ever landing back in the land of his parents. :(

Isn't a promissory note a legal iou?

Lol poor guy actually got some users. :P

@realcaseyrollins thought I'd let you know about a discovery I made: you can use lotide to join friendica groups. I've joined a couple now, and I've gotten posts and commented and verified that my comments show up. Opens up a whole new ecosystem to make it a bit more diverse.

One negative is that friendica users almost never put in a title so you have to click the comments button to see it. I bumped vpzom to see if he could just take the first line of the message when there's no title. (I should see if i can figure it out tbh)

Windows is just bad in many ways. They're trying to half-ass stuff like settings, so after 10 years you still need to go find the network adapters page to do basic configuration.

People crap on Linux for bad ux, but come oooooon.

Grass->cow->meat is pretty efficient ngl

"what is the hatch act?"

Shoot me a dm if you'd like an account and I'll happily make one. Presently I have new registrations disabled, but I'm not opposed to new users.

And yes, the firehose of free speech needs some thick skin because you'll definitely see stuff you don't like no matter where you stand politically lol

A generation of professional dancers. Footloose is now real!

One reason why idgaf, a lot of anime is good for kids. Sure don't show them bible black, but a lot of anime has the message that if you work hard and you're a good person you'll succeed, and people who aren't good people or people who take shortcuts often end up in a bad place.

It should be quite non-partisan at this point. What's going on right now is fundamentally wrong and if it isn't nipped in the bud then it's going to be used against everyone, regardless of ideology.
