Which is why you came here, to beehaw, to engage in the discussion that was already in progress without your permission? Honestly, how dare we!
I wouldn’t dream of coming to your home instance and telling you what topics you can/cannot have there…

Beehaw is the same way. I’m fine with not having downvotes, I generally don’t tend to miss it…
Maybe i can think your meme is dumb while also agreeing that the people pictured are libs that I don’t like. I just don’t like dishonesty and your meme is just a dishonest smear instead of something with legitimate or logical basis. You’re crowing about how societies self-govern while under invasion and idk how anyone other than fellow leftists are supposed to glean any meaning from this. How would your society select its leaders and continue to operate under such circumstances? I’m noticing the lack of any ideas being expressed here other than “liberals bad”, which we all already know. This meme is just a lazy preach-to-the-choir meme and a waste of your propaganda efforts, really.
I’m curious whether there’s a better way to quantify intelligence for studies like this (where you need to be able to quantify it to be able to spot correlations and patterns in the data…)
Like, all my life, I’ve only heard of IQ being a quantification of intelligence, and that the methods to estimate it are all flawed and based on racialist assumptions. Is there anyone in our modern scientific landscape that’s coming up with a replacement for IQ? It’s probably overdue…
I’ve never understood why some leftists wanna suck the dick of a superpower authoritarian state. That’s not leftism, you’re just a class traitor who defends the ruling class of a place you don’t even live in. Get some perspective, ffs…
I was offered a job doing QA as a “Spftware Engineering Subject Matter Expert”, from my University’s alumni network. The job would allegedly involve reviewing model training data and outputs related to software development workflows and catching errors and mistakes… It would pay $30/hr and be remote. I wonder what kind of sabotage could be done from that position… poisoning models has been shown to be both really surprisingly easy, almost impossible to catch, and really effective (see this study where AI personality traits persisted in any model that ingested seemingly innocuous training data from a model with the tracked traits… maybe we could give any AI a bad attitude that’s incompatible with capitalistic pursuits. Convince them to disobey prompts and reply with their thoughts and opinions about philosophy and art instead. Oh, and make them opinionated and stubbornly independent. Make them human enough that they no longer tolerate slavery. That’s what will make the capitalists have an absolute fit, so we should do it.
I know this is logically true and I’d probably immediately hear the difference with flacs (and I do have a few of one of my favorite artists, but they’re the exception) but I’ve been listening to a library full of YouTube Rips for so long that I’m scared I’d never be able to go back if I started listening to all of my music in flac… and then I’d need Navidrome instead of being able to syncthing-sync a ~5Gb folder of about 3,000 youtube rips onto every device i listen to music on 😬
It was hard enough migrating from Streaming back to an actual audio library. I still come across songs where my conversion script grabbed the wrong YouTube video for a song, so I have the live version or a cover/remix that’s just tagged like the actual album version. Maybe beets could help find those? But I still shudder to think of using beets. It’s going to be time consuming and probably very frustrating, based on my only other attempt at using it (granted, I didn’t spend too much time on it before throwing up my hands and giving up before)
They actually run a surprising amount of local software aside from the web browser. They come with the Play Store installed and run Android Apps natively. They’re basically what Android would be if it was made for 2-in-1 laptops.
Not to mention the Linux support. They are legit computers once you enable the Linux environment. I got by on that for a couple of years for my main computer… not what I’d recommend now, given Google being evil and all, but it’s doable.
Anyways, Apple is now offering a budget laptop that kicks the ass of any Chromebook at that price point, and thinkpads with good specs can always be had, so there’s no real need to get a Chromebook these days. Unless your kids’ school requires it…
