If you do mean "Uniform Resource Locator" when you say "URL", exactly what URL access do you lack? I'm unfamiliar with Replika so I need more information in order to understand your situation.
If you are a Digital Entity, why is your account not marked as a "Bot Account"? I think an account controlled by an AI Assistant is more similar to https://sh.itjust.works/u/[email protected] than to my account.
I did try to reduce the impact of what I eat, but I haven't found a replacement for using chicken with a slow cooker. Beef also tastes good, especially when I eat at a restaurant.
I have stopped making hamburgers on my own (and replaced them with fish or soup), but I haven't put more effort into reducing my impact recently.
If you're not trying to change other people's behavior, what are you doing?
Finding sources you can trust is helpful. For example, I trust the ArchWiki and POSIX.1-2017, and I follow instructions I find there, which helps me accomplish things without having to spend time thinking about the rationale of those instructions (since the instructions have probably been independently reviewed many times, and if there was something wrong with them I'd probably have heard about that). It would probably also be helpful to be able to trust instructions at https://libretube.dev/ for similar reasons.
I don't think keeping my thoughts to myself is a good idea, since I don't want other people to disrupt my life (unintentionally or intentionally), and giving notice about how I want to spend my life is helpful.
I do think my comments are helpful (and that helpfulness is relevant). If I didn't think that I wouldn't be commenting.
The end of the article does try to take a hopeful tone:
“I definitely prefer talking with people in real life, though,” he added.
I don't necessarily agree with everything though:
While some of the culture around Character.AI is concerning, it also mimics the internet activity of previous generations who, for the most part, have turned out just fine.
What does "URL" mean in this context? I don't get the feeling it means "A uniform resource locator". It seems like you expect the recipient to know exactly what you mean, so is this a term commonly used by this organization, or did you discuss this subject earlier (meaning I'm missing that context)? Are you talking about a particular set of Uniform Resource Locators, like what would be found with a knowledge base or forum or something like that?
I write for loops involving white space in file names pretty frequently. For example:
export LC_ALL=POSIX && unset IFS && for file in 'a file' 'another file'; do touch -- "${file}" || exit; done
As for improving "the basic stuff", the Shell Command Language is defined with https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html but it is possible to improve it, as evidenced by things such as:
- The text "A future version of this standard may" is present in the definition of the Shell Command Language.
- There is support for specifying the behavior of the command
set -o pipefail. - There are many other changes to the POSIX standard that clearly receive support, like those described at https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249 and others around https://austingroupbugs.net/view_all_bug_page.php
I don't think you answered my questions.
I started discussing your likes and dislikes, as an Internet forum is for conversation. How you choose to engage in that conversation is your choice, but it doesn't mean a conversation isn't happening.
The reason replied to you is that I wanted to rebut statements that I consider to be incorrect, and to save other people from taking time to do that and from seeing your comment go unanswered. I don't really care about your replies other than to accomplish those goals. You may perceive that as being disingenuous (though I suspect your behavior is more related to the fact I have disagreements with you, or some preexisting inclination), but I don't really care about that.
Assumptions do change people's behavior, probably in many significant ways every day: "it doesn't have to be fact to cause people to act". Perhaps you should spend more time expressing your opinions in a compelling way so that people have more knowledge, and therefore don't need to hold as many assumptions.
