I was okay with NYT until I saw the completely unfair and unbalanced way they treated Sanders vs Hillary, promoting every negative story about Sanders and nothing about Hillary. Taking Hillary’s side on every issue and controversy. That was when I realized they just look liberal until there’s any real change to the oligarchy proposed, and that’s when the knives come out.

I have the files that I ripped from an online streamer but not a torrent.

Ps. Chat gpt DOES actively try to manipulate you.

I think mostly it just tells you what it thinks you want to hear. If you push it hard enough to tell you something, it will tell you that. Grok, OTOH, is explicitly trained to try to give you biased answers.

16 is definitely extreme, but having gone to war with YouTube’s junk to small kids and finding out there’s no preventing them falling down some junk rabbit hole, I’m pretty cool with it up to about 12.

Good to know. Thanks.

Judging from their guide there is a bunch of criteria, many which I don’t meet, so I guess I will be seeding freeleeches for a while.

Okay I will start like that. I read the FAQ and it looks like I won’t qualify as an uploader as I’m just short of the upload speeds they need and won’t likely be able to upload many things a month.

Side question, are you constantly managing your ratio or do you think that if I run all my sonarr stuff through the the private tracker and just leave stuff to seed indefinitely that I will be okay?

Those are the only 2 ways I can imagine having a child and not making some sacrifices, yes. Your insults do nothing to further your point.

Literally any non-ml instance would be a way better choice. Also avoid hexbear. The rest are pretty solid. I’m happy with speed of Lemmus.org, but lemmy.world worked fine for me too.

This is how they enforce the CCP’s social values.

They are just trying to be like the CCP, their heroes. Wait until they roll out their social credit system in upcoming Lemmy releases!

Well I studied CS, was a Unix sysadmin for a few years, then a consultant for a enterprise software company. But I’ve been in sales for 20 years, so that should count equally against me, although I do still have some linux servers at home. I’m probably still a bit overqualified for the task of signing up to the fediverse.

I’m happy there are at least some young people here.

Certainly my case. But most of the enshitification of Reddit happened just in the last few years, max decade. You’d think we’d at least have some 20 and 30 somethings.

Now do Trump

I’m impressed he has an era correct TV for each one.

Why would our age group be the only ones interested?

Why do you suppose this is? Are we just the only generation with the minimal tech skills needed to sign up?

Yes I understand this is coming from people who feel (probably rightly) that their parents weren’t good parents and didn’t do enough for them, and which may have said the things you mention.

But even taking all of that as true, those parents, as bad as they may have been, still made sacrifices for their kids. I agree that this is a horrible thing to hang over their heads, but it doesn’t make it untrue either.

I also agree you are signing up for this usually thankless job and should be ready for that. But that also doesn’t negate the fact that you are making some sacrifices to be a parent.
