  • When people talk about punching Nazis in the face, they are talking (mostly) about people who were not even alive in the 1940s, let alone official members of the Nazi Party.

    That’s correct. That’s because they’ve learned the lessons of history.

    You’re the one connecting the celebration of bombing and “murdering” (I guess you think acts of war and judicial executions are murder) Nazis in the past to punching Nazis now.

    You’re the one who said ‘Nazi’. You could have said ‘racist’, you could have said bigot, you chose your word. You made that connection by choosing the words you did.

    I think it wasn’t OK to stab this victim even if he called the other guy a slur for Pakistanis.

    We agree, don’t stab the guy to death. What’s that got to do with punching Nazis? Do you think the victim was punched? Do you think the victim was a nazi?

    But others advocate extrajudicial acts of violence against “Nazis” where it’s their rules and perceptions that determine who is a Nazi and who is not.

    History, lessons. The people that visited violence against Nazis are heros or villains? Why is ‘Nazi’ in quotes now?

    Bombing Birmingham because it might have some people with Nazi-adjacent political opinions seemed like a logical extension of your train of thought.

    Only if you believe Birmingham is full of Nazis. Else, you got some weird logic.

    You were mocking me for thinking punching Nazis is wrong because it was celebrated to kill actual Nazis during war and for crimes against humanity 80 years ago. So let’s resume the bombings then.

    Correct, I was, I am. History tells us Nazis are good or bad? History tells us appeasing Nazis works or doesn’t? What does work against Nazis? The lessons are there, easy to learn. Bomb whom, where are you declaring there to be Nazis? Is bombing punching? I said punching is mild compared to what we used to do, that’s all I said. Why is the internet all gas no brakes all the time?





  • Those two examples are built differently despite what you’re trying to claim

    I claimed they were fundamentally different: nigiri sushi is a toast. Pigs in blanket, though the blanket should be bacon, is a sushi. They’re very different.

    Pigs in blanket is nothing like a corn dog, you take that back. A corn dog is clearly a Calzone being encased in all sides, and pig in blanket is delicious, 2 ways they differ.

    You show any Italian a corn dog and they’ll ask you "what is this calzone. I just did they said:

    Vai via, sciocco inglese!

    I think ‘inglese’ is Italian for calzone.

    Nigiri sushi is clearly an open-faced sandwich, especially since you can easily rearrange it into a sushi roll without changing the ingredients.

    This argument doth butter no turnips! Take a pancake batter, cook it in a pan it’s a carb ready to be made into a toast… Cook it in hot oil, in a muffin tin, you got a Yorkshire pudding, clearly different food despite having the same ingredients: toad in the hole is very obviously not a toast, or an open faced sandwhich: it’s a bread bowl. Same components does not mean same food. Take cake batter and don’t cook it, it’s a nice dessert soup, I prefer Victoria sponge batter to the cake. But simply heating it up, you don’t get hot soup, you get a robust platform to build a toast, or a sushi (jam roly poly). All fundamentally different.








  • Eh, I use Gemini to project manage my little herb garden. Low stakes, well trodden ground. It was the kind of thing I knew LLMs could handle for stuff I do know about, so I’m trusting it for something I don’t know about.

    Ultimately it doesn’t matter if my herbs live or die, I know I’ll kill them on my own though. Gardening isn’t a skill I want to actively acquire, I just want the herbs. It (the garden) is doing fine. I had some yellow leaves, the bot said to top dress it, I did, no more yellow leaves. So far so good.

    Anything beyond the well trodden LLMs are shit at though. I tried to use it to find a specific motorcycle part, discontinued by the manufacturer: it couldn’t. When I wanted it to shop for me, it failed. It seems to be doing well managing this non-commercial project for me.








  • First question: I am not backpedaling. I am not a patient or kind person, and my cruelty is not the subhuman Israeli variety. Telling me you buy Intel products immediately eliminates any chance of me thinking you can engage with me peer-to-peer as a fluent English speaker. I hope that makes what I was trying to say clearer, since it seems you struggled to understand the previous phrasing.

    I can work with that. Given that you do not know “I run Linux happily on intel, AMD, etc, etc.” Is a cromulent English sentence, you have eliminated any chance of me thinking you can engage with me peer to peer as a fluent English speaker. I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but that has been eliminated now too.

    Second question: correct, a future multimodal version of Meshtastic is a good, plausible, perhaps likely idea when someone feels like coding it. I’ll still never be involved under a brand name that scammed my fucking money from me.

    Thanks that’s all I needed. You are a deeply un-serious person with a deeply un-serious point.

    Just as an aside. If you have to lower the ‘cruelty’ bar to ‘Israeli Genocide’ in order go clear it, introspection may be required.
