  • (not op, but) Hear me out — what if it’s actually okay for me to use those “free plan” chats? Like, I’m not from US where most of data-centers and companies located, I’m not the one paying with my electricity bill and taxes for those “free” llms — average american Joe is.

    Dunno if this meme popular outside of post-soviet counties, but it’s closest analogy as I see it:

    Meme explanation

    I believe it was made as anti-capitalism propaganda, which is kinda ironic, considering how divided poor worker class and government people in USSR were (google shops “Berezka” that was only available for upper class), but I digress.

    Usually accompanied with slogan (which became name of the meme):

    This gentleman will pay for everything









  • Slavic languages notoriously have gender for every object. In russian “friend” have two variants, one for male gender, one for female. Same at least with Ukrainian and Serbian. So when I translate sentence to English (which only have one word for “friend”) I subconsciously use default word + she/he to empathize gender.

    It’s annoying habit, cause when I say or refer to “user” for example, I always assume it’s “he/him”.

    Guess same for your colleagues.










  • I have no clue why that triggered people so much. Never stated that I have any problem with that, nor that I need any help solving it. I leave my apartment like, once per month and cause living in EU - there no need to “travel” further than opposite street to buy anything I may need.

    On top of that, point was that it’s issue for other people in general. Explain how to setup tailscale to your grandma, I dare you.
