hey white people . if u dont know how to pronounce an ethnic persons name *google it* or if its someone ur talking directly to *ask them*. dont fucking do that "erm i dont know how to pronounce but __" or "im gonna butcher this haha" or "im not even gonna bother trying" . ur not funny. do u know what poc think when they hear u saying that ? u sound like a loser asshole and we dont want to spend time with u . im so fucking tired of watching youtube videos about media from my country and hearing those phrases. im tired of people saying that to my face . i respect someone who clearly looked it up and is tryong but says my name wrong over someone who just goes with whatever bad first guess they had without trying. u have too many resources at ur disposal to keep doing this. for the love of god just Fucking Try. if ur confused Just Try.

I highly recommend Forvo.com, the website where native speakers of a language contribute their time and voices to read words and names in their own language. It is a fantastic way to expand your world, open up your ears, and it's way more likely to nab a hit than just googling.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

estro-boi

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

every AI work tool out there is like "did you know you're wasting up to 90% of your time on pointless busywork that could be automated away? and i look inside and the "busywork" is like. learning how something important works or double checking the reading on the safety valve. AI companies love to say "why would you waste time learning that in the moment when, instead, you could always ask me about it later?" and it's like. the point isn't to "have access to that information", the point is to know it. The AI can only tell me how to fix that air compressor if i can tell it what the problem is, and even then its instructions might not warn me of potential hidden dangers or might not see that i've got my screwdriver on the wrong screw or might not even be telling me the truth. I need to know how the pump works. I need to know which lines lead where. I need to understand the system I am working with. If something goes wrong I need to know how to fix it, because by the time something tells me how to fix it, it might be too late.

Fail Safe (1964) never stops being relevant.

puppygirllaika

Also if you've never seen Fail Safe please go watch it. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen, it remains a personal favourite to this day, and especially if you are of the conviction that old movies tend to be stuffy and boring, this is legitimately one of the most tense, gripping, edge-of-your-seat suspense dramas you will ever watch. Even having seen it a dozen times before i find myself white-knuckling the arm of my couch through certain scenes, and on top of that the direction, cinematography, sound design, and action are all amazing. This movie uses close-ups and the power of silence better then any other I've ever seen. I think about this pair of shots all the damn time:

It also just. Has a lot of relevancy still today, and it's one of the things I recall most frequently when thinking about the efficacy of AI in the modern day. It's not about AI, it's about war, and weapons, and posturing of nations, and the way that secrets and hatred and dehumanization of our enemies and the increasing reliance on systems and automation, not just by machines but by humans told to act under orders and stripped of their agency, lead us into a future that no one is prepared for nor capable of preparing for, with the potential for devastating consequences. And it's a movie where you want to watch the credits all the way through to the end to feel the full impact of what you've just seen.

also +1 for having a character using forearm crutches throughout the movie who isn't a villain or treated as lesser, but instead as a highly respected, thoughtful, and considered leader. the crutches are never commented on, just treated as a totally normal part of his character. better disability rep then a lot of shit today tbh.

Anyway, you can find it for free on the internet archive, here:

If you want full access to Notepad, Microsoft now requires users to pay, with the new changes to 40-year-old software adopting the 'freemium

waynekiller

here's libreoffice, its similar enough to the microsoft suite to be useful to me.

its a free open source software. i downloaded this as soon as the AI shit rolled around and i stopped using MS suite & google docs because i was fucking tired of everything being online, but now if MS is gonna start charging for shit that should be free, only the more reason to use other programs. i know microsoft can be a little hard to escape but this is at least a start

notepad ++ it's free, it's slim, it has tabs, notepad but better in literally every way, you can customize it with tons of plugins, it's pretty much the standard in any IT company I've ever been at

nhaneh

absolutely going to add a thumbs up for Notepad++ - it does everything the old regular notepad does and far more, including tabs, while still being significantly more lightweight than the "updated" notepad that Microsoft put into Windows 11.

seriously the W11 notepad uses like 40-something megabytes of memory while running idle for some reason???
