Shit like Palladium is going to be absolutely hilarious to dig up in the back of a used bookstore 20 years from now

He knows the promo rate on the maximum, unbounded scale subscription is gonna run out eventually, right?

No, that sounds about right for many Catholics I know in the US. I was trying to be charitable towards the intent of the practice and use it as an example of something similar to occult practice in mainstream religion. Of course it's diluted in content and commitment compared to more intense cults, otherwise their base of adherents would only be shrinking. And don't forget, the veneration of saints is something the weirdo Protestants hold against the Catholics, accusing them of idolatry! So I'd say it does stand as a lightweight form of "inner door" teaching, especially as the saints are pointed out as examples of how to live in accordance with the church's teachings here on the mortal plane.

The response has a high probability of being evasive bullshit, but will be worth archiving no matter what.

Sure John, let me know when you've got that set up. Something that retains my entire search/chat history, caches the responses as well, and pulls all that into the context window when it's time to generate a job referral. Maybe you'll be able to do something shotgunning together remaindered hardware this time next year? I'll be waiting.

Props to Lemmy for doing... something... with the katakana URL. Was still able to follow the link on Safari.

Even as someone herding along a few perpetually-in-progress Gentoo setups, piping curl into sh to install random stuff staggers me. I don't see how this can be taken seriously; the software and the surrounding hype complex come off as a gimmick to catfish impressionable high-schoolers who don't know any better. After reading this, I can only imagine that Omarchy is most frequently distributed out of a shoddy panel van parked at a judicially-mandated distance outside of school zones. "Hey kid, want to try some Linux?"

Nitpicking, but at what point do we start calling it race pseudoscience? Letting the creeps have even a tiny bit of legitimacy is too much, especially as mainstream outfits are working overtime to legitimize them.

On the other hand, bombing foreign data centers, likely located in densely populated urban areas, would be justified and morally upstanding if it seems like they might be incarnating the imaginary computer god! I'm glad we have such a nuanced thinker guiding our modern morality.

"Leaking rationalist-evidence-bits" is an unexpectedly top-tier euphemism for the aftermath of digesting Wendy's chili

How interesting, a volcel who only thinks he’s an incel. Many such cases
