Even from a viewer perspective, this sounds depressing to watch. I don't really get what people get out of this.

The general public aren't investigators. The burden of proof is pretty low when you're looking for someone to rally behind. People would rally behind anyone the government dragged out, regardless of how legitimate the case was. Even if he turns out to be innocent, he'll still be a symbol because of his association and how the government has gone after him.

LLMs are very good at giving what seems like the right answer for the context. Whatever "rationality" jailbreak you did on it is going to bias its answers just as much as any other prompt. If you put in a prompt that talks about the importance of rationality and not being personal, it's only natural that it would then respond that a personal tone is harmful to the user—you basically told it to believe that.

Unless they're running LFS, I don't see the point. By the time the antivirus database is updated, surely an update will be available in the package repo?

The Linux ecosystem is built around package repos rather than manually installed software, so antivirus makes even less sense on Linux than it does on Windows. If there's malware it'll get removed from the repo as soon as it's detected.

Incest doesn't inherently cause genetic disorders, it just increases your chance of being born with recessive genetic disorders. Most of those disorders are mutations, and if the Garden of Eden is so perfect there probably aren't genetic disorders to start out with, meaning incest is fine from a genetic perspective. All the genetic disorders would be mutations later down the line. Maybe they're punishment for the original sin or something, to fit it into the themes of the story.

What incentive would a bank have to release their apps as FOSS?

You probably could create an open source banking app and use it to run a bank on a primarily open source software stack. But banks are not software companies, and they have no reason to engage with the FOSS world. We could think up lots of potential reasons for why a bank might not want to release their apps as FOSS, but the simplest answer is "why would they?"

I'd love to live in a world where free software is the norm, but we're not in that world. So if the bank has no incentive to do it other than the comparatively niche interests of the FOSS community, they just won't do it.

Yet they did remove other pedo instances from join-lemmy, so there's a good chance it'll get removed.

I worry that the cat is out of the bag on this. The tech for this stuff is out there, and you can run it on your home computer, so barring some sort of massive governmental overreach I don't see a way to stop it.

They can't even stop piracy and there's the full weight of the US copyright industry behind it. How are they going to stop this tech?

Leftists use the term liberal to refer to people who are moderates, e.g. the Democrats rather than the communists. Liberals often hold some progressive ideals, but ultimately believe it should happen within the context of capitalism and our existing systems.

Hexbear hates on liberals a lot, but they're hating on them because they're not progressive enough. It's not a right wing thing.

Hexbear is... a lot. It really does feel like they swarmed the last thread. I wish there were a way to lock threads to the local instance.

They seem to really take glee in harassment of "liberals". Their justification of "if we are harassing you you deserve it" doesn't hold a lot of water for me, because they seem to harass anyone who doesn't think the exact same way as them. I certainly get the hostility towards liberals, but while that's all well and good in their little quarantine zone over there now that they're in the larger Threadiverse their whole "dunking on libs" thing just makes lemmy an exhausting place to be.

And then they turn around and mock everyone for being bothered by their hostility. I want to like Hexbear, but I'm not sure whether they're good federationmates.

I hope we don't have to defed, but if Ada decides to it'll certainly be earned.

Have Lemmygrad users been causing problems on other instances? It seems to me it doesn't make sense to defederate for political reasons unless that instance is being actively belligerent. I haven't personally seen Lemmygrad users causing problems, but I also don't hang out in political communities much so I guess I wouldn't know.

Never got the resistance to /s. Some people just struggle with understanding sarcasm, seems an easy way to avoid misunderstanding.
