Kinda funny how when Trump pardons criminals everyone gets mad but here when someone suggests doing the exact same it’s totally fine (because this guy’s on our side…)

Sir this is lemmy. Most people here just follow whatever the echo chamber tells them to. Thinking or referencing reality is typically not advised.
That animals have genders I don’t think is something that can be denied.
Many animals (for example smarter birds, such as crows and magpies) perform “for-fun physical activities” such as sliding and flipping, often in group. According to most dictionaries, that counts as a sport.


Honestly if they hired someone who refuses to use AI in 2026 it’s on them.


That “AI” is a completely dumbed down one with reasoning disabled. Of course it’ll make stuff up.
Then what about animals’ genders and sports? Are they not natural?
No, those are words for things that occur in nature, across many animal species.
Imagine believing this in 2026. There’s a reason most sports are separated by gender and it certainly isn’t “culture”.
I don’t think they’re for sale, more of a research thing right now, but the point is that the technology is there, it just hasn’t reached the market yet.
As for being liable to break the bones of onlookers… This is always the argument that comes up for some reason, same as self-driving cars. In reality, I’ve known my fair share of humans who are liable to break the bones of onlookers when things go wrong too.
Look at google’s last robots, they have them tying plastic bags and screwing light bulbs.
Apparently there’s basically no downside to waking up “naturally” to pee in the middle of the night as long as you get back to sleep right after. You naturally wake up in the parts of sleep where you’re almost awake anyway.
Also why are you talking about Americans? Is it like a joke or is the person actually American or something?
Probably because going by the amount of posts and comments about American politics, Lemmy is 95%+ American.
True, but then again there are so many such things. If I go into the woods for my own enjoyment and accidentally get lost requiring a rescue, am I being selfish? What about skiing, mountain climbing and all such activities? They all involve first responders saving your ass.
Hell by that logic anyone who drives a vehicle on a public road for any non-productive reason is being selfish.
Why, who are they hurting?


Because they don’t put the effort in.
Add a simple “the video isn’t served until the ad’s length has elapsed” and suddenly your only workaround is to spend 30s staring at a black screen.


I use it all the time as a kind of brainstorming tool.
“I want to do X (and details), can you tell me what tools or algorithms are available to me? List their pros and cons and give me some comparison”
Or on a somewhat recent project of mine, I has to effectively stub an entire library (but didn’t have to be done well), so I just told AI “take this page (the docs) and generate empty function stubs from it”. It doesn’t need to be high quality since it doesn’t run, it’s just to fool the dotnet engine.
I also tend to ask AI to add logging to some functions, since it’s annoying to do and impossible to mess up.
It’s the contrast I think. -20c outside, keep it at 19c at home then go to a public place and they keep it at 23-24c for some reason. No wonder I feel like I’m being slow roasted.


Of course you don’t operate the kernel, but the kernel operates the system.
My point is that there are many layers between the kernel and user and which you interact with depends on the person. The only common point between all these, at least for linux, is the linux kernel itself.
I get that the “axchually GNU/linux” is just a joke, but considering how much impact linux has versus GNU, it’s totally fine to omit it. You can totally just use busybox instead and you’re still using a Linux OS.


Then where do you draw the line?
The vast majority of people also don’t interact with the GNU tools at all, so GNU/Linux isn’t the OS either. KDE would be, or perhaps the distro itself. I’m not sure I’d call the OS GNU/Linux/Ubuntu/KDE. At that point might as well throw in firefox, for many it’s pretty much all the interaction they have with the computer.
Or what about the distros that don’t use the GNU coreutils? They are generally still called linux and still get to run apps made for linux, even with no traces of GNU.
This is the issue though. You say he’a a hero and the other half of the population say he’s a criminal. What makes you right and them wrong? Or the other way around?
If he is indeed guilty then that does make him a criminal by definition. As for being a hero, that’s subjective. One can be both a criminal and a hero.
