 every time a software project changes it's installation method I have to update
 my install and update scripts which I wrote explicitly so I don't have to go to
 their website and tell the world that I'm thinking about using this particular
 piece of software

 I am not interested in being given money. Usually it means someone wants
 something from me, like labor or some of my stuff. I have all the stuff I need,
 why would I need more money? I like my stuff! I'll help out when people need
 help but I do that because I'm a good person, not because I want you to fucking
 pay me for it.
 
 I have all the things I need... except a deed to my house. apartment. oh yeah,
 they can kick you out for that sin. well, sorry, I couldn't find out at
 goodwill or in the trash bin, so I guess I'm deed-less. My deeds go unproven.
 How can I prove that I deserve a decent life in this particular roof, the one I
 find over my head, when I cannot prove that my deeds qualify me for a decent
 life lived under this particular roof?
 
 I mean, did you ask the neighbors if they want me gone? Am I really that
 smelly? Does my keyboard make "clickety-clack" noises all through the night?
 Does my cat meow and bother the children? Do my friendly smiles and waves make
 you uncomfortable?
 
 Have a decent life.

 I think it's more saying "LLMs are not significantly more harmful for the
 environment than other online activities"
 
 also stuff like this: [picture]
The average Google search uses 0.3 Watt-hours (Wh) of energy. The average ChatGPT question uses 3 Wh, so if you choose to use ChatGPT over Google, you are using an additional 2.7 Wh of energy.  How concerned should you be about spending 2.7 Wh? 2.7 Wh is enough to      Stream a video for 10 seconds      Watch an LED TV (no sound) for 3 minutes      Send 2 emails      Scroll on TikTok for about 4 minutes      Upload 30 photos to social media      Drive a sedan at a consistent speed for 15 feet      Leave your digital clock on for 3 hours      Run a space heater for 2.5 seconds      Print half a page of a physical book  In Washington DC where I live, the household cost of 2.7 Wh is $0.000432.  Simply reporting one extremely small amount of energy as a multiple of another can lead to bad misunderstandings of how serious a problem is. A digital clock uses literally one million times as much power as an analog watch. I could write a long article about how replacing your watch with a digital clock is a million times as energy intensive as a way of telling time, and that we can’t afford such a drastic increase because we’re already in a climate emergency, but this would basically be a lie and would cause you to spend time worrying about something that doesn’t actually matter for the climate at all. I see the comparisons between ChatGPT and Google searches as basically equivalent to this.

 One of the first video games I ever played was Dragon Warrior 3 for the gameboy
 color.
 
 The game starts with god asking you about yourself in a dream. This was the
 first time I heard the word "gemini" - At one point, she asks if you are M or F.
 
 Me, being a child, thought she was asking if I wanted to go "medium speed" or
 "fast speed" and I'm like, hell yeah I wanna go fast
 
 that's it
 
 that's the whole reason I'm trans
 
 at one point in the game I became a queen of a faraway land
 
 and I couldn't leave the castle without the guards saying "no no miss you can't
 leave, it's too dangerous for a battle-hardened adventurer dainty flower like
 you to leave"
 
 (I think they say you have to renounce your claim to the throne if you want to
 leave but I would rather fucking die)
 
 so I never got farther than that. Sorry world, but I didn't end up slaying the
 demon king, I sorta just walked around the palace and cried because it felt
 like the game was over.
 
 kids, amiright?

 fucking boss your friends around
 
 it's as easy as saying "hey I'm gonna go do this-or-that thing, you don't seem
 busy can you do that-or-this thing for me? I need it done by this-and-this time
 - oh you're busy? yeah no worries I'll go ask someone else. oh you're busy
 resting? doing girl healing? hell yeah next time invite me I'm due for a
 \"pizza and weed\" night."
