Thank you, heartfelt…

Though, I see hope and peace, for some reason, at this moment, it recalled the following work: Introspection by Dane Forrest Obuchowski
The soundwork is also featured in a video-game: Strange Horticulture

Thank you! Of course, there are numerous people I did support and many other who are/were there right now. It’s priceless and radiates with good, awesome beliefs that someone got their issue solved and moved forward.

Yet, the thought that people who do not know the whole story, and just saw “banned”/“K-lined” will always remember that and do not consider/value your contribution at all, and the operators won’t even care about you anymore. Since everyone has their own beliefs and time available.

There was an operator (who’s name starts with letter K), who is an operator anymore, banned me 3 times in a row, in the #linux channel. It was in ~2020, and people remind me and share about it in another channels ruining my reputation to the point no one considers me serious. Yet, no one even asked me once, why the operator banned me in the first place. And you know why? Because they didn’t like my name! My name was “Artfaith”, and they put it to the reason of the ban itself! How is that alright? No one even thinks about it, and what they see is “banned”.

It makes sense the person is not an operator anymore, or not even joined to the channel the last I checked, but my reputation is ruined. Just 2 months ago, I was arguing with a person in channel #web regarding their questionable approach to library/dependency handling in programming, and shared my experience that would improve theirs current setup. And what you think? A person from #linux comments on my contribution out of the blue saying that I should not be trusted because I was banned multiple times. I start to arguing about it, called operators telling I get defamed, and bang, I am banned again…

I added people who troll me or ruin my presence in /ignore, but it did not help, because they start ruining my reputation behind my back, and it happened a lot, when someone highlights me in chat in a question to that ignored person, and what I see: “Oh. Yeah, they are a bad person then. I won’t listen to them, too.”

It’s more than a decade, and I neither nickname change nor discussion helped… Some channels prohibit alternative accounts like Libera’s IRC #linux, and that caused me to another trouble when I wanted to start from a blank canvas…

For another example of pure sadness that some Netop was actually waiting until I disconnect from Libera just to silently ban me, so that no one would see the “K-lined” message in their IRC clients! How sad is that…

Yes, it looks like I am 16 years old, but I am almost 40. There’s just so much I can do…

There’s much to this of course, where I tried to stay calm, I was trying to agree with these bans, re-read rules multiple times, I was careful, and nothing helped. A single mistake or even a slightest of it - ban.
I was calm, silent, shouting, screaming, sending polite, impolite, and overly lovely, and rude messages, they are just indifferent and don’t care. More to that, they just increased my ban to the year, just because I was not calm in the initial ban reason where I got K-lined from all channels, again, because I had issues in a single channel only.

This is all inhuman… this causes me dark feelings where I invested too much of time into this? Into knowing that the whole network sees me as someone I am even not? And don’t want to hear me out throwing me like biomass? Is that modern, human attitude…?
These chats helped me to stay social, too, because I am physically mute since ~2012, due to an accident, and just a few know non-verbal languages out there…

At least, my job helps where I am less social, and just try focusing on the work instead…

My gracious sakes… I so hope… no one will ever experience this… it caused me suicidal feelings, and you call that fun? I supported numerous, shared my personal experience I get normally paid for, in military and programming.

May I ask, do you live in any of the Baltics country?

Welcome, “programmer”!

Thank you! You asked what do I think.
Well, I think that you support the following:

- 1. Devalue artists work;
- 2. Atrophy developers’ experience;
- 3. Enshitificate the overall web-dev;
- 4. Deface and obliterate someone’s effort put into the modelss datasets;

I think that there are lovely magnificent systems already, for more than a decade, with huge Communities and love shared, you could support instead. For example, the most recent I donated to:

- CodePen, who stands for artistic, and creativity;
- StackBlitz (you can disable the opt-in awful Bolt LLM);
- JsFiddle (though, they were political once, they thankfully stopped being naive);

Yet you chose to atrophy the miracle known as an accountable , individualistic, creative, infinitely marvelous human handcrafted development, to achieve and discover…

Not to mention that I do not trust you, knowing that you will use my contribution to teach your models/system you build.

And, to clarify, sorry, I would never, and won’t feed your models and pay you for that, too.

And this is why it’s a sad time to live…
You no better, and hence, fck you, too, moron.

Not only that, but people changed, I believe.

I was literally banned from Communities I’ve been joined since 2007, that is Freenode , now Libera, and OFTC IRC public networks.
Netops just K-line people who raise LLM/AI issues over human effort, and even if you heat a single channel.
If you get in a trouble by protecting yourself against an LLM lover/troll in popular public channels, you get muted or banned. If you do it again, you get k-lined, regardless of how many channels you are in, and your reputation.

They won’t care about your past, your contribution amount for all the years, or that you have literally no issues and are totally supportive in other channels. They see you heat a channel, regardless the reason, they k-line you for a week/month or so, the most possible event.

I lost trust in some very known IRC network, and I now regret all the years I invested there. There are awesome, freaking marvelous people. Yet, the administrators and operators, who are friends with the netops, are ruining the whole network, and the communities like Linux, PHP, Javascript, Typescript, Networking, I wholeheartedly believe.

There’s hope there are still networks with actually Catalyst beliefs. And your years of helping people in chats, technically or psychologically, will actually stay valued throughout some few year at least… A ban for a quick heated issue? A k-line for a single channel issue with 30+ joined? This is inhuman.

In 2010 Freenode, it was the most welcoming and awesome public place to chat, find miracles, discover knowledge and stay social with people in similar subjects. Today? It’s just toxic, inadequate, and is maintained by sad people who probably, considering the age since my participation since 2007, have no children and love power, since this is where they feel themselves worthy.

I believed at least chats and forums will stay more human, where you could escape from the politics. I believed at least social networks that are not-so managed by popular vendors, will keep it more human…

IRC is centralized. If you use IRC, you must trust it. You must trust the Netops. Yet, as I mentioned, since 2007, in around 2024, I lost trust in Libera, unfortunately, since there are incredible, ingenious and awesome people…

In more legally supervized networks, like Discord/Slack/Telegram/StackOverflow chats, and systems like LinkedIn/GitHub you still may get a proper and accountable response from the administration. You still may comment on it in public and receive a fair attitude in response, and one of the reasons is that these do care about their public stance and reputation.

I donated to Libera, around 540 Euro or so, I believe, for all the years. And what? They could not care less.
Yet, I’ve been with Discord Nitro since 2017, and with all 4 cases I had there, they responded responsibly and carefully. Thank you, Discord support.

And, of course! Steam! Steam support is one of the most accountable I know, if considered the ratio popularity/responsibility, too!

If we consider IRC only here, nowadays, indeed, it’s just some people got indifferent and hateful. And especially those who have some kind of responsibility. These people, including Netops mentioned above, likely have less time to moderate and just remove people from their life.

Yes, of course, it’s normally just either lack of time of responsible people who moderate it. Or, they have personal issues like lack of children they wished but could not organize their life for it, dreams or wished tasks undone etc. And of course, the time today flies, and with so many information flying all the peoples’ lives, it’s a sure possible reason the overall moderation in non-supervized systems like IRC is just almost inhuman most of the times.

LLM/AI trends do not support them, but increase their moderation time against bots, and leave less time for actual human attitude, so they just remove actual people. block them, annihilate other from their lives. Just because it’s easier.

Yet, these, now banned, are still people, who just try to talk, discover, and stay supportive/human online. Who are not biomass to just throw away. These are people who you can talked with and find solutions together.

So, please be careful… on any network/system with lack of proper legal transparency that would protect you from power-hungry people, or just as a customer.

I am ~40, and nowadays I regret my choices choosing such venues that just dropped me as a biomass regardless my finite time participating and being supportive.

It’s not about communication or human there today, I believe…

I regret my precious life time investing in there…

Wonderful day!

Just in case, there’s a term in “anglicism”:

…word or construction borrowed from English by another language. Due to the global dominance of English in the 20th and 21st centuries, many English terms have become widespread in other languages.
Technology-related English words like internet and computer are prevalent across the globe, as there are no pre-existing words for them.
English words are sometimes imported verbatim and sometimes adapted to the importing language in a process similar to anglicisation.

Source

For more than a decade, I’ve been trying to learn Russian, mostly for the art and the job I have. And, I did notice that there are words, in common/casual speech that do indeed include pure English terms/words, or even adapted from.
There’s a Russian page for “Anglicism”, too:
- https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Англицизмы

It makes sense, since it’s one of the most easiest languages out there, with straightforward rules, with some exceptions you get on the road, and rare/archaic words you get eventually memorized in your own dictionary.
The Email messages are in the common/formal form/template even, you may know, too! I.e., header/body/footer/signature.

For example, I’ll try recalling some:

- “гаджет” ~ “gadget”;
- “дилер” ~ “dealer”;
- “фрилансер” ~ “freelancer”;
- “комп”/“компьютер” ~ “computer”;
- “чилить”/“чилю” ~ “chilling”;
- “таск” ~ “task”;
- “бейба” ~ “baby”;
- “чика” ~ “chick”;
- “аутсорсинг” ~ “outsource”;
- “секси” ~ “sexy”;
- “гайд” ~ “guide”;
- “булинг” ~ “bulling”;
- “трабл” ~ “trouble”;
- “маркетинг” ~ “marketing”;
- “постить” ~ “to post” (social network posts/articles);
- “гамать” ~ “to play a game”;
- “клатч” ~ “clutch”;
- “дедлайн” ~ “deadline”;
- “бит” ~ “bit”;
- “байт” ~ “byte”;
- “клуб” ~ “club”;
…
- or even… “эйчар” ~ “HR” (head hunter, employer)…

These I recalled now only, and I do believe it’s possible to write/base any English word in Russian.
Though, nowadays, my main is English, I was born in Lithuania, and Lithuanian language does also feature such words!
For example, “skenuoti” (to scan); “baitas” (byte), “seifas” (safe/safebox); “clubas” (club); etc.

Such a miraculous magnificent world of language development!

Do you actually want “fast” AI-sloppy maintenance/nonsense, where customers would get even more issues eventually, and ruin the reputation?

Adequate verification and careful, responsible attitude to changes requires time.
I am sorry, but I have no idea how you may “hate” accountability.

This is one of the main reasons art exist. To transfer a real feeling, experience over the time from an alive soul to soul…

A memorable piece from the 74th Tokyo University of the Arts Graduation Exhibition (Geidai Graduate Exhibition). Mao Watanabe’s “A Cute Mascot That Won’t Offend You.” Graduate School Design major. Exhibition room on the 3rd floor of the University Art Museum.
Source [warning: graphic]

The text inside the “cute mascot” states (translated using Google):

Sometimes we have to look at things that are not pretty and are unpleasant.
- “Because I don’t really understand.”
- “Because it has nothing to do with me.”
- “It’s kind of uncomfortable.”
As you lose sight of everything, eventually there will be nothing cute left.

Since isn’t it for everyone’s own, or credendo vides!

The main reason I am interested in art is communication… The soulful discussion about the reason, the truth, the life, the very purpose… A dialog between us, human, the people with souls and our beliefs, experience, desires, our mission… An attempt to express and listen to those who discover the world and life as a miracle…

To be frank… I try to always avoid anything AI in art however I can… because I instantly consider my finite life time…

Art helps me to find the very reason I appeared on this planet, in this Universe, in the infinite of time…
The effort in art expressed emphasizes the time as precious and finite resource we have…

The effortful unique human experienced artwork helps me to believe… to believe I must continue the faithful adventure for the reason other people do…

“Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything” nowadays, a.k.a. vibe-living, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square to prevent contagion, and then A.I. should resurrect you virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity…

Criticizing A.I. as a criminal plagiarizing machine that steals the work of artists without permission or compensation used to strike me as a bit hyperbolic…

The point is, I’m not saying all this to defend humanity. Humanity sucks. It’s totally terrible. I’m saying this because I believe in an old-fashioned virtue called Doing the Freakin’ Work.

Read the book, not the summary.
Write the piece, not the prompt.

Suffer like the artist you are. It ain’t easy, but if it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth doing.

Fudge AI in art, and creativity, or even technical responsible fields like programming.
And isn’t programming for human to control machinery, too?
I do still recall the book that featured Lisp, from MIT University we read:

Our goal is that students who complete this subject should have a good feel for the elements of style and the aesthetics of programming.

They should have command of the major techniques for controlling complexity in a large system.
They should be capable of reading a 50- page-long program, if it is written in an exemplary style.
They should know what not to read, and what they need not understand at any moment.
They should feel secure about modifying a program, retaining the spirit and style of the original author.

These skills are by no means unique to computer programming. The techniques we teach and draw upon are common to all of engineering design. We control complexity by building abstractions that hide details when appropriate.
We control complexity by establishing conventional interfaces that enable us to construct systems by combining standard, well-understood pieces in a “mix and match” way. We control complexity by establishing new languages for describing a design, each of which emphasizes particular aspects of the design and deemphasizes others.

It does not allow you to actually organize your own mind, to discover yourself, memorize, and learn.
Generative is empty. It’s noise. Do you like listen to and learn from noise? I don’t, and will never.

Obviously, there’s no creativity in AI, and especially in art.

AI makes no art, and there’s nothing to search for in it, also considering the amount of different people works and effort meatground into digital limited/sampled quantized data. It’s noise.

There’s no place for a machine in it, otherwise it becomes limited, lacking, and lifeless.
Art exists for people, us the humans to communicate with each other through time and narrow channels as general languages.

Again, fudge AI over effort. Effort helps to stay accountable, responsible, and to realize the significance and infinite marvel of art…
Art is of human for human.

Greetings! The character is mentioned in the very video I prepared the conversation excerpt from! In the video, after the music clip, the band artists discuss the circumstances, including the film Terrifier 3.

And though I haven’t seen the film itself, the whole conversation about AI, the sorrowfulness it inherits, and the overall death-like dark viewpoints raised for AI, by the artists themselves, are quite significant, I believe… you just try listening to what they actually tried to say…

Wonderful day!

@RareBird15@allovertheplace.ca , I am sorry, but just in case, the Communities/Member should have the following syntax, if required:
- !community@instance.test
- @member@instance.test

Meanwhile, I hope you’ll find what your you’re looking for, of course!

There’s a desire, and deep hope… There’s the very eloquence of confidence and… peace…
Ineffably magnificent work…
Thank you… heartfelt…

The following answer was for the initial question formulation, where I focused on the center of the photo:

Freaking awesome! I adore PHP! <3

Thank you, but this depends on the client. No such option in marvelous web-client Alexandrite I see.
Though, magnificent Thunder, I utilize on Android, has it.
