@maxleibman@beige.party Just today I got praise from two different higher managers for a concept I wrote. Not even my bosses, but my bosses‘ peers. The concept was OK, but nothing especially praiseworthy - but it apparently was the first text they read in some time that wasn’t excremented by stochastic parrots. Those AI losers are pulling away from me - but not in the direction they expected… 😂

@theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social The problem is that this request alienates a population that is intrinsically on your side: People who don‘t give a fuck. You can call me me he, she, it or wally, I simply don‘t care. Which is exactly why I generally feel a lot of sympathy towards people who challenge the status quo of caring about bullshit like that. But if you force me to take sides, I‘ll have a strong tendency towards not giving a shit.

@fesshole@mastodon.social Sounds like a very good description of software development using an LLM.

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange @forse@kolektiva.social Yes, you are mischaracterising my position. I am perfectly fine with referring to you using whichever pronouns you prefer. This is a consequence of me finding gender utterly irrelevant while still respecting your choice of seeing that differently. I draw the line when somebody expects me to care about this in any way. I don‘t. I will not introduce myself pretending that I care about that stuff.

@forse@kolektiva.social It is fascinating how you managed to neither understand reverend King nor me.

@heiseonline@social.heise.de Auch (oder gerade) als Benutzer von E-Zigaretten bin ich voll dafür. Und ich kann nicht verstehen, wie irgendwer jemals auf die Idee kommen konnte, dass sowas als Einwegprodukt irgendwie sinnvoll sein könnte. Das fühlt sich an wie ein Einweg-Auto, das man wegschmeißen kann, wenn man abends was getrunken hat und mit dem Taxi heimfährt.

@der_kleine_herr_b@norden.social Ich weiß schon, wie es gemeint ist, aber trotzdem muss ich es sagen: Wir waren nicht die Nazis, das waren unsere Großeltern und vielleicht auch die Eltern, je nach Jahrgang. Und wir sollten den Alliierten sehr dankbar dafür sein, dass sie dafür gesorgt haben, dass wir eben nicht im Deutschen Reich aufgewachsen sind. Sehr unangenehm ist allerdings, dass wir uns gerade echt keine Mühe geben, aus dem zu lernen, was unsere Großeltern erlebt und getan haben.

@TheMNWolf@furry.engineer @FoxesInLove@social.neonpaws.digital Pro Tip: Dip your anchovy fingers in a bit of garlic oil. It won't make the anchovy smell go away, but it will smell more delicious!

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange @forse@kolektiva.social I agree. People may signal their opinions in different ways. I personally think that trans rights are very obviously human rights. Yet I do not think that I have to start giving a fuck about people‘s genders in order to not be part of the revolting group who does so in a revolting way.

@CodingPhysicist@mstdn.social Finde ich jetzt wenig erstaunlich. In meiner Jugend hatte irgendwie jeder außer mir eine Mofa, und ich kann mich nicht entsinnen, dass auch nur eine von denen korrekte 25 km/h Höchstgeschwindigkeit hatte.

@radiologe@chaos.social Ehrlich gesagt finde ich es mindestens genauso bemerkenswert, dass gewisse Kreise einen Menschen als visionären Vordenker glorifizieren, der eine Krebserkrankung nicht hat behandeln lassen, weil er fest an irgendwelchen Schwurbel geglaubt hat.

@Gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social Yet I simply can‘t be an „activist“ for each group that would deserve it. I don‘t have the energy for that. The best I can do is to demand that people treat each other with respect - independent of the specific battles that everyone fights. And you know what? The „if you are not our champion, you are our enemy“ attitude hurts. A lot. And it doesn‘t help anybody involved, except maybe the Rawlings of this world.

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social I‘m not turning against anybody. I just don‘t want to introduce myself in the way that I‘m being asked to here and I resent it when this failure to comply is held against me. And that resentment will absolutely keep me from going out of my way to demonstrate solidarity. But it doesn’t mean that I suddenly become a hater of any sort.

@leipoa@det.social @der_kleine_herr_b@norden.social Ja, das ist genau die Definition von „Befreiung“, die ich hier angemessen finde. Wenn die Nazis damals nicht beseitigt worden wären, würde die Welt für uns sehr unschön aussehen. Ich bin für diese Befreiung dauerhaft dankbar und sehe es als Verantwortung der Deutschen an, ihre Rückabwicklung dauerhaft zu vermeiden. Leider machen wir es diesbezüglich gerade nicht arg gut. :-/

@dansup@mastodon.social Christine has definitely mastered the art of prototrolling, which is a portmanteau of protocol and trolling that I just made up.

@pallenberg Ich bin gerade so endlos genervt von meinem IT-Job, dass "100% remote" und "unbefristet" gereicht hätten, damit ich mich höchstselbstlich bewerbe. :)

@NanoRaptor These detectors are probably the most bizarre part of our current timeline. The one thing that LLMs get right is syntax, all of the problems have to do with semantics. And what do people try to use as a detection metric? The syntax. Can't make that stuff up...

@Lea_Noelle@blahaj.zone Well, then the only choice you made was the right one! "Masking" destroys the life of the masker, and it doesn't matter what exactly you are masking. ADHD, Autism, Gender Dysphoria or any other such thing... They all torture one the most when one needs to hide them.

@backupbear I have one especially for politicians: "May your butthole start to itch whenever you stand in front of a camera."

@ObsidianUrbex@mstdn.social This picture immediately creates a strong sense of unease in me. It's not some kind of PTSD as I've never been in such an institution - it's rather a testament to the well-executed opressive design used here. Creepy.

@Evo2Me@toot.community @lipow@norden.social Sycophancy as a Service

@sixtus@mastodon.social Auf LInkedIn gibt es auch Texte? Ich dachte, das ist nur eine Datenbank, wo man sich Kontaktfotos für Outlook runterladen kann?

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @adipoeserPursch@troet.cafe I very much enjoyed that presentation where the presenter himself got very confused because of the Sarbanes-Oxley-Act and Service Oriented Architectures. I want more of that.

@virgil_tibbs@norden.social @carl@chaos.social Hatte ich nicht so empfunden. Mir ging es mehr darum, dass man Dir auch Schuld unterschieben zu wollen schien.

@realn2s@infosec.exchange Bevor irgendeine Regierung uns hilft, dürfen wir uns eher darauf einstellen, dass jemand die Neuauflage von T4 als Option ins Gespräch bringt.

@rationalgarde @Odradek @Nachtflug Und endlich haben wir mal eine Situation, wo die Ansage "6, 7" zusammen mit einer abwägenden Handbewegung Sinn ergibt. :)

@mspro@fnordon.de Wir lesen "Eichmann in Jerusalem" von Hannah Arendt und fragen uns, wann wohl jemand ein Remake des Buchs schreibt, in dem einer von den Techbros im Glaskasten sitzt.

@MissConstrue@mefi.social @benjamineskola@hachyderm.io I agree, but I really don’t want to derail this thread with my opinions about sexual identity and sexual desire both being spectra for which binary ideas are quite unsuitable. :D

@benjamineskola@hachyderm.io @MissConstrue@mefi.social OK, that's an important aspect. Still, it's disturbing that an aspect like "stigmatisation" even comes up and that it needs a less "female" name in order to be taken seriously.

@carolina@norden.social Da es wirklich brechreizerregend ist, den ganzen Schlonz zu lesen, habe ich die entsprechende Stelle mal für die rausgesucht, die sich das nicht antun können:

@MissConstrue@mefi.social Wow. The fact that naming this in a way that contains ovaries leads to stigma of whatever kind is absolutely depressing. I would really prefer to live in a world where one could simply call things by a descriptive name instead of running into utterly deranged problems like that.

@Natanox@chaos.social @KaitlynEthylia@void.lgbt @lisamelton@mastodon.social @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social Both of your posts are absolutely on point and what you said is exactly what I wanted to say.

@Gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social See, even though I am an old white cis hetero male, I do care about a lot of groups that aren‘t treated properly. Women, immigrants, handicapped people, trans people - and many more my porous brain doesn‘t come up with right now. It‘s just impossible to summon the amount of active participation you demand for each of them. It‘s basic self care to demand justice in general terms in that situation. I want you all to be as happy as me.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @GreenSkyOverMe@ohai.social Cool, thanks a lot! I‘ll let you know about the surface tension problem as soon as I‘ve solved the issue with my power plug and the oversized receptacle I didn‘t think about. This plan sounded better when I was bigger.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @GreenSkyOverMe@ohai.social I‘ll be really tiny and use that as a chance to finally clean some finicky things I own. Would it be possible to get my pressure washer shrunk together with me? That one would really help when having a go at my vaporizer.

@buersten@mastodon.social Die Firma der Frau nutzt Sipgate, und das scheint wirklich richtig gut zu funktionieren. Den Account kann man auch auf der Fritte eintragen und dann die DECT-Telefone weiternutzen, das haben wir zuhause für die Homeoffice-Tage meiner Frau eingerichtet.

@MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.social Wow. I knew that Brecht was a remarkable person, but given the fact that he died at the age of 58, the caption implies that this minor inconvenience could not keep him from saying something rather profound after 70 years of unaliveness. That's impressive.

@carl@chaos.social @virgil_tibbs@norden.social Ich finde, dass man "Schuld" und "Verantwortung" nicht so flockig mischen sollte. Es ist nun mal so, dass ich als 1975 geborener Mensch nicht beteiligt war. Das ändert nichts daran, dass der Antifaschismus Teil meiner Verantwortung ist, aber ich fühle mich genau so wenig Schuld an der Reichskristallnacht wie sich heutige Polen schuldig für die Ostpogrome vor dem Krieg fühlen.

@Mela@zusammenkunft.net Noch mehr als die offensichtliche Dummheit dieser Leute regt es mich offen gestanden auf, wenn Leute so tun, als müsse Autismus "repariert" werden. Die Arroganz der Neurotrivialen kennt echt keine Grenzen.

@der_kleine_herr_b Nun, dass Du den Satz noch im Kopf hast, sagt einiges darüber aus, wie gut die Urheber:in in ihrem Job war. :)

@petrillic@hachyderm.io Yeah, the first thing that tech people should realize is that their job is being the mediator between a machine and a human being with a problem. You can't tell the machine what to do without understanding what the human's problem is, and that requires a lot of interaction with the human.

@rationalgarde @Odradek @Nachtflug Bei Deiner Zahl 2 fehlen mir mindestens Windscale und Three Mile Island.

@kevinrothrock@infosec.exchange @lisamelton@mastodon.social Who cares, look at the Dow-Jones!

@MissConstrue@mefi.social @benjamineskola@hachyderm.io It pains me to read that. It‘s also incomprehensible to me. I would think that any scientist of whatever gender must love the challenge of having two sexes to research, compare and understand.

@mo@mastodon.ml @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social It‘s not interesting to me and I‘ll try to use gender-neutral pronouns until somebody requests differently, anyway. I also have severe ADHD and will forget your pronouns just as fast as your name, anyway. The expectation that I need them in memory to not be called a lot of things I‘m being called here also is really stressful, but I agree that that‘s beside the point and not your problem. Just like pronouns aren‘t really mine.

@Gwendolyn@eldritch.cafe @theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social I am 100% on your side in the sense that I want you to be able to live as the person you are, in the way you want to and without being attacked. I hope I did not give you a reason to doubt that. Yet, your struggle isn‘t mine, and being told to introduce myself in a specific way feels just as wrong as being asked by religious people to behave however they think some god wants me to. No reason to start hating either you or the believers, but it‘s annoying.

@futurebird@sauropods.win It's so sad that, nowadays, the USA are all of that as a nation and none of it as a state. I sincerely hope that you people manage to turn that around again, somehow. It won't be easy, but there are so many good people over there that it should at least be possible.

@uvok@woof.tech Watership Down was definitely one of them, but The Secret of NIMH takes a close second place.

@eskensaskia@mastodon.social @Pearl22@troet.cafe Stabil, Frau Esken. Von dieser Art „Intoleranz“ brauchen wir noch viel mehr!
