Past, you should probably read that book you’re quoting.

Newspeak was the idea that removing words from people’s vocabulary would remove the thoughts from their head, therefore becoming an avenue for control. Despite the Sapir-Worf hypothesis being bunked, I don’t think it was at the time.

What words were they removing from your vocabulary, how do you believe it is controling you? Modern examples would be something like ‘Unalive’ I guess, but not really. Sponsors trying to get you stop using the word dead, and talking about death. But, unalive is a work around, not enforced, so not really newspeak.

Oh, who: Americans, see sources I guess they’re all American. Where: I’ve heard it used in Britain too, so ‘the American hegemonic cultural west’ I guess. Since when: not a clue.

For what it’s worth, I heard the term ‘fist bump’ specifically for the act of fist bumping long before I heard of ‘daping up’. When I hear ‘dap’ it has almost always, I think actually always but I can’t be sure, included one of those hand clasps. A fist bump is just a ‘fist bump’. It’s strange what percolates out from the dominant culture.

When I hear dap up I just think of that ‘in the hood’ series time stamp 2:47. Dap up, that hand clasp thing, no fist bump.

How to dap

The dap is a friendly greeting between 2 people to express solidarity.
It includes a wide variety of gestures, but it can be any handshake you have with a close friend. Most people create their own dap with unique snaps, slaps, and fist bumps—there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to dap someone up![1]

I don’t dap beyond fist/elbow bumbing, it would feel like appropriation if I tried. So, I can only point to sources. That hand clasp is very common from the ones I’ve seen in my sheltered life.

The elbow bump is because I’m often in gloves covered in chemicals… So elbows, if it has to be anything… Don’t dap me up, it’s awkward.

Ahem. Grand Champion, Breed Winner Regional, National Winner Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk is a tortoiseshell persian.

You know how I feel about people that don’t know the colour of cats Carl. Mongo is appalled.

No shame on you OP, it’s not your fault, your cat looks wonderful.

I used to giggle at the riders with their snoods in the middle of summer.

“Who needs a scarf in summer” I’d chortle.

Then I hit a bee with my throat at, we’ll say the speed limit. Now I ride with a snood even in the middle of summer. I’m ‘vizor up’ till at least 50mph, still haven’t learned that lesson.

No eunuchs? Why, what did they do?

Oh I know, but progressives were anti-genocide too. It’s the more centrist persuasion, to whom genocide wasn’t a deal breaker, I’m speaking about.

I reject it’s just republicans that will excuse this, there’s plenty of people in this very thread. One even said the quiet bit out loud: even if Platner raped her, it wouldn’t change a thing for them.

To the people that excused, and went to bat for, a genocide apologist… What’s a little rape? Honestly, I’m surprised so many are dropping him for this, maybe there’s hope yet.

I’m sure there’s something to be said about the perceived victims of the genocide, and the rape, but I don’t have time to think about it.

Now introducing Begleri: pocket astrojax!

Start like a butterfly landing on a fragile flower… End like a bulldog eating oatmeal. Best advice I ever got, after spelling the ABCs

They are well ahead of you:

In the round of 16, the US team was eliminated by Belgium after a 1–4 defeat. The USMNT’s lackluster performance stood in contrast with its energetic and creative showings earlier in the tournament, perhaps overshadowed by controversy surrounding FIFA’s stunning reversal of Folarin Balogun’s suspension due to his red card in the previous match.

You can tell they don’t understand capitalism very well, by their support of capitalism

There’s a joke I’m riffing off, that Christians read the bible to reinforce their belief in God. What do atheists read to reinforce their lack of belief? The same.

Sum total of my hardware:

Ugreen dxp 4800, the Pentium one. 32gb ram. My main box: jellyfin, arrs, immich, pihole, nginx, etc… It can’t go down. I don’t think I want an LLM here.

Beelink n100 16gb ram. Local back up, redundant pihole, immich machine learning… Generally under utilised, I’d like to move some services around, does proxmox have an auto balancer?!

Spare no name n100. 8, or 16gb, I can’t remember. Abandoned box, It’s what I would put the LLM on, I did have it reserved for a remote back up.

I think it would need a ram upgrade, see corporate AI pricing me out of personal computing. Currently Amazon has a Crucial 32gb ddr5 sodimm module for £280. Which is too high a price for what I’d use it for.

Oh, and I have an abandoned gaming rig with a gtx970, and some rPi0/3s

I’ve put Ollama on an n100 before. It obviously ate all of that box and made everything on it chug, and it was too slow for human use. But if it’s just generating logs, and resetting containers then I wouldn’t mind how slow it is.

I’ve been dreaming of local AI for a hot minute. Sadly corporate AI has priced me out of personal computing, and current hardware isn’t up to it.

Maybe my n100 could, I don’t really care how slow it’s generating the tokens if it’s just resetting containers and logging errors.

Does your setup handle automagic updates, how do you handle prompt injection if so? Or, just error correction/logging?

They did specify ‘country’. I don’t know enough American history, to argue when the country began, and when the genocide wiped out the first peoples.

I appreciate this isn’t an AMA, I don’t expect an answer. But, beyond rashes are there any other ill effects?

“America in the next 20 years will become, the first time in its history, a minority white country.” Paraphrased

Why is that bad, does Merica treat her minorities poorly?
