#Systemd has many cool and useful features. But it has on massive problem that irritates me to my core.

It does too much. When it works, it's great, but if something bad happens it taints too much of your system. While the age verification saga is optional right now, and seems harmless, it will grow like a cancerous tumour, and eventually, we end up in a situation that we have to decide whether to remove a massive part of our OS or just accept that privacy is a joke these days.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

It seems that LLMs are perfect tools for those who want to shoot themselves in the foot. Those who don't want to try to learn stuff themselves.

They are definitely useful, but the way some people uses them makes me think.

Yesterday, I experienced my first instance of AI ruining creativity of people who supposed to be creative. On a call, some folks complemented a designer for designing a cool banner with 80s feel. But I came across quite similar design on YouTube when I was listening to 80s jams. It was obvious that he used LLMs to generate the banner (which is fine), now all of a sudden, different people have similar designs. They are not unique anymore. They are becoming mediocre. 😭
To have an idea how horrible the Iranian regime is, just think about the fact that people of #iran, are thanking a pedo like trump and a mass murderer like Netanyahu just because they are the lesser evil in compare to the Islamic Republic.

hehe #IRGC just threatened Iranians outside #Iran, that if you say anything against the regime, they will confiscate your properties and you will face punishments.

Also send an SMS with the same content to people.

It gets worse. The created public channels on Telegram (since it is popular in Iran) to find and report people who are active against the regime on social media with the aim to execute them later on. They even joke about ordering the rope online in advance.

@aral Two months about 40,000 innocent and unarmed Iranians slaughtered on the streets by IRGC. I lost 4 of my friends there. I was stressed over the safety of my family. Yet, you didn't care much about it. But now, that there is a story twisted by media that might support what you want to hear. All of a sudden, you care about people of #Iran?

Give me a break, friend. All lives matter. Palestinians, Iranians, Israelis and all. Innocent people are just victims of brute politicians.

@aral chill my friend, I did not insult you. Second, it's funny how non Iranians think they understand the situation better than Iranians who struggled under IRGC for their entire life.

Just because IRGC supported Palestine (just out of political gain) doesn't mean Iranian people should be slaughtered by IRGC.

Currently, what you are doing is just selectively read the news from sources that support what you want to hear. But the truth is beyond that. 1/2

It's too sad that most people around the world don't understand how we feel.

I randomly landed on this video today. The pain that pierces through my heart in too much to bear.

Context for non Iranians: This is a montage of some of the brave people who have lost their lives in protests against the barbaric and brutal regime of #Iran in the past few years. It was released shortly after #kamenei was set to hell. The caption reads (roughly): “In your place, we will dance on the graves of these criminals.”.

Some of them were like 10 years old.
