  • This is the plot to a fictional movie. Intelligence is a factor of many things, and most of those factors are not genetic.

    Your observation seems close to the opinions of old school eugenicists. "The wrong people are having children".

  • I agree, we shouldn't be coddling folk triggered by messages like "Everyone is Welcome". They need to toughen up and learn to accept messages of inclusivity.

    They SHOULD feel uncomfortable if they don't like this sign. It'll put hair on their chest.

  • This conversation is great.

    (in case it does not load there is a picture in this reply)

  • But he also said he wanted cuts, and that Musk would remain a power center: “If they can cut, it’s better. And if they don’t cut, then Elon will do the cutting.”

    Its not time for celebration. This is just to take heat off Elon. Now the media will be able to spread the blame around or excuse it. "People inside the department know how best to make cuts. Everything is normal".

  • For what it's worth, they have their domain back. It seems from a skim from the front page they're just deciding how to refederate (allow list or block list, basically they are trying to decide if they will automatically federate with new instances).

    At the time of writing this comment the votes are close and allow list is winning (many commenters don't want to federate with new instances unless they are approved).

  • I think that you should keep posting with your signature if it makes you happy. I have some sincere doubts it will force a corporation to exclude your content from any aggregated data, though, nor do I think anyone is giving up their rights by not properly licensing their comments here. Copyright is automatic in the USA. The problem isn't the licensing, its the fact that no court is properly enforcing these rights. And, too few governments have data privacy laws on the books.

    I'm not interested in relitigating those points though, I'm sure you've heard them. I guess I'm just typing that up so you know where I'm coming from.

    I do think your signature is valuable when it makes people consider who owns their data, and why the CC license is important.

    Personally I think you should put an explanation in your bio. I think your message will be served better if you can point to a pre-written explanation (or even an old style FAQ). But, I don't think you're obligated to do so. Its all gravy. People are going to fight you regardless.

    Did you see that post from that guy mad about a period character on slashdot? Lmao

  • Hm, interesting. So this guy was posting all weird on slashdot, and you remember decades later? And you carried that with you, and it inspired you to type this comment. That's a lot of commitment on your part for a stray period.

    That's pretty funny. Thank you for sharing.

  • I miss the old web, where if someone wanted to RP as a alien or a cat or something in all their forum posts, we just kind of rolled with it. The internet was strange and diverse.

    So many people are dog piling this guy because, in essence, he isn't conforming. He's including a little forum signature on his lemmy posts in 2025.

    Just ignore it and keep scrolling.

    I agree, but not in a "this guy is an idiot" kind of way, but in a "do whatever you want and keep the internet diverse and strange" kind of way. Let the guy have his small protest. Folks need to stop dog piling him. It shows up in many of the threads he's in, and judgments about his little signature dominate over anything he actually had to say.

  • oωo

  • Its standard practice for math equations involving spectral densities and Fourier transforms to use the testicles character for the independent variable.

    Fourier analysis involves measuring the sampled strength of the signal at different points in time. Its also related to ARIMA models. Essentially, you're inspecting how cyclical some data is, and the testies are points in time.

    By the way, there is an error in this meme, see the comment left by jjagaimo

  • R

    We can reject the null hypothesis that you are not a nerd at significance $\alpha < 0.001$.

    oh wait, shit let me run that again, my data frame is full of NA somehow, again.

  • Not just that, I like how they went with "radical change" instead of "wanton destruction" or "unlawful government restructuring".

  • Their wives also left them and they couldn't figure out why.

    Lmao.

  • I'm not a website administrator so I'm out of the loop. Other ways to manage bots? Like what?

  • Everyone knows those rules don't apply when youre dunking on the instances with opinions outside of the US state department's approved overton window.

  • This is the message of the enemy. I am not sure what there is to be done, but to say this:

    There’s nothing that can be done.

    is to give up. The only thing that we ordinary people can know is that the democratic party is unable/unwilling to form an effective resistance right now.

  • Hmm gee why would anyone post articles that are vaguely negative about the Democratic establishment. Right now they're fighting the blatent corruption going on in our country by doing:

    Don't forget all the things they did to protect federal workers like:

    But of course you can't forget the ways they got popular policy enacted when their man was in office. Policy like:

  • There's an avian flu epidemic forcing the culling of birds. Should we save the CDC/USDA/FDA? Nah, silence from the democratic party.

    There have been terrible airplane accidents. Should we get more staff for ATC and make sure the FAA has a director in a time of crisis? Nah, silence

    Should we allow anti-intellectuals and political agents police the language of science? Should we stop them from purging completed projects and scholarly papers? Nah, silence

    Should we do something about a madman firing 12 inspector generals without following process? Nah, silence

    Anything to protect career civil servants, keeping our government running and providing services to the people? Nah, silence.

    But the CIA front is where we draw the line.
