technically I guess it's between Cosmic latte and Desert sand

or "light grayish yellow"

..I had to look those up but it's definitely not a plain white

well it's supposed to be the "passive" you (or "indeterminate" you)

but I think anyone can learn to notice the pattern of comics with this particular odd color style ^(assuming^ ^you^ ^would^ ^want^ ^to^ ^learn^ ^it^ ^for^ ^some^ ^reason,^ ^and^ ^if^ ^we^ ^ignore^ ^color^ ^blindness^ ^or^ ^other^ ^similar^ ^problems^ ^etc)^

the trick is of course to look for the most disliked comments. Here's a couple

All humans are basically pure evil.

You are probably cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals more than three times a day.

Older men having sex with sexually mature teen girls is fine

DUI laws are too strict. It shouldn’t be all or nothing at .08 BAC but more severe punishments for more severe inebriation. .08 is pretty low and people who drink regularly can function fine at that level.

The Lemmy users who call themselves “Leftists” are garbage human beings

And most of them aren’t really that left. Trying to talk about abolition of police and prisons is something they would never agree to

wait, is this a roundabout way of calling yourself a garbage human being?

What started it I think is this twitter post praising trump and the republican party: https://xcancel.com/andyyen/status/1864436449942110660

He later doubled down on it (if I recall correctly) and the company has generally been making some highly questionable decisions since

There's also that Biden basically sabotaged the democrat campaign by stepping down only at the last minute, and then proceeding to pressure Kamala to not distance her campaign from the Biden campaign

The new one by openai, "gpt-4o image generation"

it's funny how you can tell at a glance exactly what model generated this image, just based off the background color

found this update from 1 month ago:

what the actual amount of progress is seems to be buried under bureaucracy-speak but I got 3 useful sentences out of it so far:

Configuration via group policies

MS Office can remain installed in parallel, until October 2025

Goals for october 2025: LibreOffice should be the sole standard office software on around 70% of the state administration's IT workstations

so to me it seems they're currently slowly doing a MS office -> LibreOffice transfer, but they're still all using windows (as the use of "group policy" implies)

Some dark urge found me skim-reading a recent AI doomer blog post. I was startled awake by this most unsettling passage:

My wife wrote a letter to our infant daughter recently. It concluded:

I don’t know that we can offer you a good world, or even one that will be around for all that much longer. But I hope we can offer you a good childhood. [...]

Though the theoretical possibility had always been percolating somewhere in the back of my mind, it wasn't until now that I viscerally realized that P(doomers reproducing) was greater than zero. And with other doomers no less.

Left brooding on this development, I drudged along until-
BAhahaha what the fuck
I can't. This is beyond parody.

Completely lost it here. Nothing could have prepared me for the poorly handwritten wrist tattoo.

Creating space for miracles
Doom feels really likely to me. [...] But who knows, perhaps one of my assumptions is wrong. Perhaps there's some luck better than humanity deserves. If this happens to be the case, I want to be in a position to make use of it.

Oh how rational! Willing to entertain the idea that maybe, theoretically, the doomsday prediction could be off by a few days?

I'm not sure that I ever strongly felt that I would die at eighty or so. I had a religious youth and believed in an immortal soul. Even when I came out of that, I quickly believed in the potential of radical transhuman life extension.

This guy thought he was getting clean but he was actually replacing weed with heroin
I really convinced myself that "doomsday cult" was hyperbole but uhh, nope, it's 107% real.

you can also 'trivially' derive the quadratic formula using completing the square, but does anybody actually do that instead of just memorizing the formula?
