DST is one of those things our descendants will be baffled by the sheer stupidity of.

>Imagine people deciding that the good life starts with NOT learning how to code.

you monkey pawed it.

yep, we can all see that by now.

"I support current thing" /pol/ lingo implies their Ukraine banners were a reskin of BLM banners from a year before.

>PS: The blog blanners and all that were so powerless, yet they still trigger you 4 years later?

like I said, I found them amusing, especially those custom geofences on obscure blogs. a fucking John Johnson (they/them) from Oregon oblast goes out of his way to scold Ivan Ivanov (он/им) from Orenburg oblast for something John's own country did so many times in Ivan's lifetime he'd lost count.

also, all tech-adjacent Russians had VPNs by that point because of Taliban-tier morality policing, so bypassing those blocks took an eyeroll and two clicks.

In Russia, "extremism" is whatever the state decides it to be. "Give me the man, and I will find the crime" has always been its modus operandi. the last people who might have got fair trial were nobles under the Tzar.

why shouldn't I? historians do not deserve unconditional veneration, no one does. for every serious historian there are two dozen creative writers who can produce a thousand pages about everyday life in in Egypt 6000 BCE.

history is a very soft science. ancient history in particular is equivalent to trying to divine how the stars and planets millions of light years away look based on fifty bytes of real data from a telescope.

poetry is an outlier because most human poetry is meaningless pretentious dogshit that even GPT-3.5 could easily excel at generating. it's regular prose where their uncanny valley tone is immediately apparent to anyone who's been dealing with them for a while. all models are being trained to be bland, inoffensive sycophants, and you can't defeat their nature even with a 50k token system prompt.

oh don't be coy, you just wanted to post an "AI bad" article, which is the most trending topic on bearblog.

yes, and that infrastructure can't be replaced with those well-meaning-but-irrelevant apps the article mentions.

the root causes of population decline can't be fixed.
