Hyperbole.

Did “Barrack accuse men” or did he address the hesitancy amongst some men?

I agree that it would be insulting to think Black people should vote for a Black person, but I would think a Black person not doing everything within their control to avoid a Trump presidency is reprehensible.

Plug in to my burner?

The term fascist dictatorship is subjective. I’m not going to have a silly argument about what it means to you and how that differs from what it means to me.

Get in to what exactly?

This is the answer.

There’s just no fucking way you should go to a protest with your daily driver, secure or not.

I also wouldn’t go without any form of communication. You need to be able to receive information from organisers. Maybe go with a buddy who has a burner and not take anything yourself, but expect to get separated if you’re in a larger group.

I personally wouldn’t be too spooked beyond that, but of course it depends on the level of “activism” you’re going to be involved in. As in I wouldn’t dick around taking the battery out, and I’d save relevant contacts in the phone.

They’re not going to go all CSI miami on your device and your contacts. If they ask you to unlock your phone they will just be looking for selfies of you doing something incriminating.

I didn’t see that myself but I’ll take your word for it.

Personally I wouldn’t know how else to react to a black person who wasn’t planning to vote for Kamala.

That’s subjective.

I think it’s a little disingenuous to describe the mood as “berating people into voting the way you want”.

The US, the leader of the free world, is now a fascist dictatorship.

I’m very frustrated, worried, and angry. When discussing it with people who did not take action to avoid this outcome, it’s very difficult for that frustration not to leak out.

Depends how “you” is defined.

If you’re talking about your ghost, then no that can’t be copied because it’s an imaginary thing of which there is no evidence, a projection of your mind if you will.

OTOH if “you” is just a collection of memories stored in a physical structure then yes, a molecular level printer could reproduce it.

The bobiverse series of books encounters this question. Probably my favourite series.

I think that most people with stressful frustrating and difficult jobs could make a good argument that they indirectly improve the material conditions of humanity.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s because if that happened someone who’s nest is currently being feathered by the inequity of the present system would receive less feathers for said nest.

I think most jobs are like this.

The entry level stuff is pleasant and manageable and easy, but if you progress far enough to make money you produce value by managing unsolvable problems which is stressful, frustrating, and difficult.

Yeah look I’m not an AI advocate at all. If I were confronted with this my first instinct would be to manipulate it in a spreadsheet because they can juggle data types like this pretty effortlessly.

The CSV / dates thing was just an example, but I still think it’s a good one. My assistant at work would 100% use notepad like this rather than using a spreadsheet.

It’s also worth pointing out that notepad + LLM would be a lot more flexible than a spreadsheet. Just paste whatever there and explain what you want in plain english. You don’t need to parse your request into regex or spreadsheet formulas. For you and I, we might have spent years interacting with regex and other things such that it’s a pleasant challenge when it arises. For 20 year old me it would have been a tedious impediment to whatever I was trying to achieve.

Loads of instances do not federate with hexbear.

Surely it’s only a good instance if you’re happy with a much less federated experience, to say nothing of the usual complaints people have of hexbear users.

Kid is lucky to have you.

I had a mum and a dad, and they did their best, but I wish they had been more interested with my well being in this way.

You’re doing great.

Fair enough.

You’re right of course.

Like the other commenter said for this specific problem you’d use a spreadsheet.

It’s just an example though and there are others, like maybe removing url encoding from a string or something.

Again this can be done in some other tool without much fuss, but the versatility offered by notepad will be useful for a lot of people.

I wouldn’t know because I’ve never mentioned it to anyone.

I think the idea is that you can use it for reformatting small sets of data I guess.
