#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.

@TheNeedling As an Iranian, I hope US reject their visa application, the men's team had shown in the previous world cup that they are not representing Iranian people. They represent the Iranian regime, and not the people.

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.

@yoasif @aral it's not misinformation, misinformation is spreading lies, it is not a lie. There is no evidence for either. But it is a likely possibility. Just like what media choose to report.

When there is investigation going on, you can not reject it. Until there is firm evidence.
I already showed you that IRGC is occupying schools and hospitals. That suggests something like a human shield stuff.

this is not misinformation.
