Unrelated.

We are extremely social, with a big initial wall. We don’t do small talk or other forms of disingenuine pleasantries. I consider that stuff completely normal and not a problem.

In fact I like it. And I’m not talking about how people act to maintain that initial wall. I’m more than used to that stuff, being finnish myself. No decent person does it by saying things they don’t believe, or by treating you like crap.

I’m talking about what people actually think on a cultural level. Stuff they say and do without meaning to do harm. Even after you get to know them. The expectations you are faced with as a man, when you start a relationship or start working with new people.

When I say men are mocked for showing weakness, I mean people who do it because it doesn’t do anything to the man in question. As if his mental state and confidence is unshakable by default, making their words just harmless fun. Becayse he’s a man. He can take it.

I don’t consider it just an opinion. I’ve heard of similar experiences from too many others.

I want to stress that I do know a ton people who are past this type of thinking, but it feels like I have to sift through a hundred persons to find one worth knowing.

If I stay within my known-good circle, it’s fine. Great, even. But the moment I try to meet new people, men and women, I instantly get slapped in the face with how things really are.

As for whether it’s a thing in the local culture, maybe. I’m finnish. We’re progressive in a ton of ways but this isn’t one of them.

It really isn’t.

You’re mostly right. With a lot of people, yes, you can be open and honest and you’ll be met with love and understanding. But it’s a minority in my experience.

With the majority, you get a “men should be socially aware and emotionally available” but then the second you bring up your own feelings and problems, you’re ignored. Possibly even get your admission of “weakness” mocked.

The assumption is that as a man you have it good, are set for life, and so you don’t get to complain. Any problems you have must be minor and should be easy to deal with, how dare you try enlist help from others. Suck it up and man up!

It’s popular to virtue-signal about how society thinks about men, so it might seem like things are better. And they are. But there is STILL a double-standard that is making it very difficult to discuss with most people.

When meeting people one on one, the toxic masculinity is alive and well. No-one mocks me to my face at a party. But one on one? All the time.

Blaming?

You mean citing.

This is a good thing.

Never occurred to me.

Way too many of these where I live, leaving absolutely no room for the imagination in terms of how they work.

There are so many of these it makes more sense to modernize the existing carriages to bring them up to modern safety standards.

The simple cage around the shaft remains, leaving the machinery completely open to inspection for anyone and everyone.

I was watching in the android app. Wasn’t obvius.

Is there a way to watch the auto-dubbed videos with original audio, and subtitles?

I was only able to turn on subtitles for the original foreign language, but the translation obviously exists, since it was auto-dubbed…

I’m not sure.

AFAIK dd will create an IDENTICAL environment. This is actually not desirable as it will cause UUID conflicts where multiple partitions in a system have the same UUID.

Unless you’re restoring something you imaged, dding one disk onto another requires fiddling with the UUIDs and fstab, to make the partitions unique again, so the kernel can tell them apart.

Yes.

But moving a partition can’t be done online. And often enough it’s mecessary before growing one, that I generally just tell people to do partition changes offline.

Not if you need to move it first.

Yes. You can just straight up delete the windows partition. Windows just won’t boot anymore, even though doing only this won’t remove it from the boot menu.

You can do this from your running linux install, but if you want to grow the linux partition to take up the free space, you’ll need to do that from a live usb.

No changes should be necessary. Just delete the windows partition, and grow the linux partition.

Make sure you keep the efi partition, and swap partition, if there is one.

No it doesn’t.

You can vaguely record maybe one conversation you overhear in addition to one you are having yourself at the same time. You definitely can’t record every conversation in a room you’re in. A mic can’t either, but three, four, half a dozen people talking? Yeah, you can definitely pull that out of a recording.

It’s been shown that a laptop mic is enough to decode what someone is typing on a keyboard in the same room, just from the unique acoustic difference between each key.

So no. What your brain does is nowhere near the absolutely data-black-hole that a live mic in every room would be.

Once there’s enough of these, you might even cross-reference multiple recordings to assemble complete conversations between people who didn’t have one on themselves, or even spend the full duration of a conversation within range of the same recording device. That is something your head absolutely cannot do.

I see the appeal, but it’s still a privacy nightmare if self-hosted.

It’d not just be recording you. It’d be recording everyone around you.

The main reason I think companies are getting into this, is it gives them an excuse to data-scrape reality, since they’ve exhausted what was available online.

Future training data will be everything these “customers” have ever said or heard.

Yeah. It’s straight fire.

Ew

It’s actually grown into something of an art discovery tool in itself.

It’s not hooked into my pixiv account in any way, I have to manually feed it artists or pixiv/danbooru links, if I find a post I wanna share or add to the queue.

The real magic started when I made it so I could configure a list of communities to post to, and list relevant danbooru tags for each community, and then have the bot go out and find stuff that would fit in the community, even checking which community has the least posts lined up. AND it cross-references with artists I’ve manually added as ones I like.

And it keeps track of what’s been posted, and what stuff by artists I like hasn’t been posted.

So when the queue runs low, I can literally just rapid-fire go yay or nay on a bunch of images like its a dating app. There are currently 327864 images in the suggestion queue by artists I like. And it finds more outside that if needed based on danbooru tags.

Don’t forget her yuriposting. Top quality stuff.

I can confirm that I’m not autistic, afaik I’m a plain cis white guy with a probably neurotypical brain.

My “bot” is a set of automation tools I wrote that let me turn my fanart collecting hobby into posts that get posted at a constant trickle instead of a flood. I do see and verify every post before they go into the queue.

My real quirk is my commenting habit. I was already an avid reddit commenter before finding lemmy, but over here something puts it into overdrive. I think it’s because discussion here is just higher quality and more respectful (at least in the subs I frequent). Plus its small enough that the comment section is not as much of a popularity contest. I’ve averaged 10 comments a day for two years now… That’s normal. Right?

Also hello. Haven’t run into you much since the start of !gameart@sopuli.xyz.

Dating an LLM would be like dating a pathological liar.

Literally none of the words it produces have a single unit of honesty. Any true fact produced by Gemini is essentially coincidental, and must be tested and verified before application. I can’t imagine a single person who knows how this stuff works being able to consider a “relationship” with one to be “real”.

That companies mislead people about this tech to such an extent that they are able to feel there’s a “mind” on the other end that is capable of returning their feelings in any shape or form, is beyond predatory.

HuniePop is a comedic masterpiece I will actually be upset about if it’s disappeared.

This group is nuts. Wanting to ban Detroit Become Human because it depicts child abuse is completely insane. That’s like solving sex trafficking by making it illegal to mention it.
