Does this make me a bad person?

Of course they are kidding. People change, you can be a POS earlier and change to not be one now.

For what it's worth, I would have appreciated as a victim if my bullies seeked me out and truly apologized to me. It would've restored a little faith in humanity. I don't care now anymore, but there was a time.

Of course, any feeling that the apology was fake or forced would have ruined the whole thing and had the opposite effect.

You were lucky to grow up in an environment not triggering your natural human evil.

The main reason I didn't bully anyone was because I was bullied myself.

I'm 35 and when I grow up I want to be psychotherapist. However, I hate university. Fun!

Autistic/ND game streamers?

Jump

Azzu @lemm.ee 1y ago

I did for a few months/years, but I stopped a while ago. But you'd never have known I was neurodivergent except by watching me for a while, I wasn't advertising the fact. I assume it's the same with a bunch of other streamers, there are probably a bunch, but it'd be kinda difficult to figure out.

Apart from that, streaming I think doesn't particularly lend itself for autistic folk. We're just usually not as conventionally charismatic and entertaining. I never had more than 5-10 viewers, and I assume it's similar with others. You only get bigger if you have mainstream appeal, which I think is relatively unlikely for autistic streamers.

So yeah, I'm interested to see other responses to this thread, but I assume there'll be little.

The Internet Archive needs your help, seriously

Jump

Azzu @lemm.ee 1y ago

The reason this is as public as it is is because an archive like this is more useful the more is archived. If you manage it in an entirely hidden way, you basically won't get it accessible from the clearnet and are relegated to keep it on Tor or similar. And once you do that, a lot less people will use it and thus it'll be a lot less useful.

Also, they are not only fighting for an archive to exist, they're fighting for it being a societally acceptable thing to exist.

How did you become independent after living with parents all your life?

Jump

Azzu @lemm.ee 1y ago

Basically you just get a job in some way. I became a programmer and thus earned enough money to afford an apartment by myself. And then I just did that.

Most western countries also have some kind of social safety net. Dunno about Australia. But most often they wouldn't force you to live with your parents if you lose your job.

There's something uniquely different to not live together with other people anymore. For everyone I've talked to, including myself, living alone for a while was an incredibly important experience, not replaceable by simply "doing things for yourself".

Only when there's no one around can you truly figure out what you would want yourself. As long as there's immediate interaction, just even being seen doing something, there's some kind of influence on our psyche by this interaction. There's just some large difference to when you're completely independent/alone for a while.

Being able to do stuff like you say is fine and makes sense and is good preparation, but it's just not in the same ballpark at all.

That doesn't work, you can't train models on another model's output without degrading the quality. At least not currently.

You're the one who brought up runit and insinuated it doesn't have this problem ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Azzu @lemm.ee 1y ago

I don't know runit. Maybe runit didn't even have a way to delay or customize shutdown, maybe it always just waits 5 seconds and then forcibly terminates a process, resulting in you never noticing when a cleanup job was too slow. Maybe you just randomly never installed a particular program with a slow shutdown job while using runit. There's a bunch of reasonable explanations and possibilities for why this difference exists, and they can all mean systemd is perfectly reasonable.

systemd moment in the sense that someone not affiliated with systemd used systemd to write a stop job that doesn't terminate quickly? Or that you willingly installed software that brought along a slow stop job with it?
