🧙🏿‍♂️🔮 Prediction that only I, Blackstradamus, am wise and learned enough to see!*

Iran can't defend its desalination plants! Other nations can't defend their desalination plants! Mutually assured thirst! Cities don't work without water! Refugee crisis!

(*Of course I'm not special. Literally everyone sees this).

It's been two full weeks since I turned off my smartphone and it was definitely the right choice. I was really worried about not having it but in the last two weeks I've only had to say "I'm sorry, I don't have a smartphone" once and it got me out of doing something I didn't want to do anyway. My attention is starting to come back and I'm definitely less anxious. Everyone is different and my experience will never be your experience but if you can, try getting rid of the misery box.

Heute haben wir in Baden-Württemberg unser historisch bestes Ergebnis erzielt. Leider hat es am Ende nicht gereicht. Wir danken unseren Wählerinnen und Wählern, und allen Aktiven, die uns unterstützt haben! Wir kämpfen weiter für ein bezahlbares Leben, in BaWÜ & überall!

Das Sharepic der Die Linke zeigt einen roten Hintergrund mit einer großen violetten grafischen Fläche. Oben links steht in weißer Schrift der Text: „Das ist das beste Ergebnis, das wir in Baden-Württemberg je hatten. Wir danken allen unseren Wählerinnen & Wählern, Unterstützerinnen & Unterstützern.“ In der Mitte steht groß und fett „Danke!“. Unten links ist das Logo der Partei Die Linke zu sehen.

Linken-Chef Jan van Aken hat den CDU-Spitzenkandidaten von Baden-Württemberg, Herrn Manuel Hagel, in der ARD eben live als "Pfeife" bezeichnet. Dies ist eine in Worte gefasste Ehrkränkung und verbale Herabwürdigung eines gewählten Volksvertreters unseres Landes, der ich auf das Heftigste zustimme.

llm pol

i have a feeling that everyone who is arguing about LLMs in the sense of stuff like productivity, quality of the output, performance or functionality of generated code, largely even licensing or whatnot is kinda missing the point

even if LLMs generated the best code in the world, i would not be using them

even if LLMs gave me the biggest ever productivity boost i would not be using them

even if the output was clean copyright-wise and fully original, i would still not be using them

i can't consciously support a worldwide slop machine that helps and finances the rise of fascism, that helps further oppression, that helps a bunch of billionaires control public opinion, that drives society-wide psychosis with far-reaching consequences, that attempts to strip all joy from activities people like while using that to make the rich even richer, and that's not even getting to environmental stuff or whatever

i'm getting left behind you say

well fuck your industry and fuck you
