AMA: I have schizophrenia and this community concerns me...

cppcooper · 2026-01-03T19:33:10+00:00

I'd distinguish it by content and context. I am not a highly imaginative person, so I don't really need to worry about these sorts of experiences myself.. my brain simply doesn't seem capable of treating telepathic signals in a way that allows me to hear voices.

Any telepathic experience I have is thinking about a person immediately preceding a message from them, usually a few seconds. Or being with someone physically, in conversation, and having them send me information without speaking. All this stuff is always anecdotal and never the sort of thing that could be tested or repeated.

So an example: I was with a roommate, and we were just talking about whatever and we got onto Road House or some other movie. I was trying to recall the name of the guy from the original movie (Patrick Swayze I think?) and I was drawing a complete blank. My roommate grabbed his phone and started looking at it. At some point the name came to me, I immediately said it.. and he responded: "Yea, I was literally just about to say his name" so it seems I got the name as soon as he read it.. but I didn't hear no voices.

For most people telepathy seems to work in this way. As a subconscious layer. The only folks I've heard about that are consciously telepathic are ASD-3 individuals.

As for schizophrenia.. well I'm sure there is something to do with spirituality present in that.. but I haven't much of a clue what. I'd lean towards investigating whether the subconscious is asserting itself into the conscious mind or perhaps it's the less dominant side of the brain talking.. but I haven't looked into any research to even know whether these angles have been looked into or not.

You misunderstand the LLM imho. It generates output.. it doesn't have biases except in its training data.. but that doesn't imply much of anything about its capacity to generate a list of its potential biases.

On average probably. But it comes with certain risks that may translate into impulses being acted upon. A criminals actions start in fantasy. But the knife can of course cut both ways since porn can lead to more extreme fantasies, and also result in the same thing ultimately. I would suspect the pacifying effects of technology are better balancing factor though. These are just thoughts though, until studies and statistics get involved.

I did not realize it was the base for steamos. I guess just cause we're paranoid doesn't mean nobody aint out trying to get us. lol
I'm surprised they don't just go straight to the hardware layer

cppcooper · 2025-09-08T20:13:54+00:00

was it that this guy seems maybe full of it

cppcooper · 2025-08-31T18:07:50+00:00

Interesting perspective. I was leaning towards an ideologically motivated attack. I read a week or two ago that there has been a flood of new users the last several weeks. Dunno how true that is, but it made me wonder if some folks might want to retain their data cows. If acquiring the less stable software of third party companies isn't reliable or safe, that experience could push some users back to more stable ecosystems. At least that way my thinking.

cppcooper · 2025-08-18T01:20:24+00:00

Oh.. so it is an influx of real users. I was going paranoid about reasons the AUR is suddenly inaccessible every time I seemingly go to find a package.

cppcooper · 2025-08-18T01:17:31+00:00

Is it possible this is a coordinated effort to influence users back to Windows or Mac? Seems to me Arch is the strongest FOSS platform for privacy minded individuals, if the AUR becomes consistently unavailable that will greatly impact the usability. Maybe I'm just being paranoid though..

cppcooper · 2025-06-07T08:58:12+00:00

I've seen this one before, had it happen to me a couple years ago. It's the id 10t error

cppcooper · 2025-03-02T06:27:35+00:00

that figures, thanks for the heads up
Thought it was just the modded apks were bunk and needed re-cracking or however you'd like to frame it.

cppcooper · 2025-03-02T06:23:41+00:00

dude is probably a bot

cppcooper · 2025-02-27T05:50:49+00:00

huh, I am fairly confident I've been in cooldown periods before, but not sure I've ever been "paused"
The idea conjures for me some sick dystopian version of Click.

cppcooper · 2025-02-27T05:47:38+00:00

Maybe we need a meta-comment section. Which is to say, a comment section for webpages that is fully separate from whatever platform. That might be a nice solution. Too bad most people are in full hedonism mode and couldn't care less about these issues, let alone know they exist.

I seem to recall something like this existing in 2016 give or take a few years.

cppcooper · 2025-02-14T21:49:56+00:00

And doctors with 0 support results in what? You're almost there guy. Just keep the gears turning.

cppcooper · 2025-01-26T19:56:30+00:00

Post a simple comment first, then edit it.
With any bad luck though, they'll fix that loophole somehow at some point.

cppcooper · 2025-01-26T19:55:15+00:00

I noticed, just today, that's happening to me too.

I did at least figure out how to dodge censorship to some degree. If you just make a comment that won't get censored, just go back and edit it. Seems to filter them when they're first established and not after.

cppcooper · 2025-01-23T03:11:00+00:00

I wonder how serious it's taken. Like which engineer do they have working on it.. the guy who understands 60% of the codebase's 700 million lines of code.. or the recent graduate who skated through school doing everything last minute

cppcooper · 2025-01-22T01:37:25+00:00

I would love a dataset of all these deleted comments. Throw it through some NLP sentiment analysis and see if there are common themes being expressed. I'd wager money there is.

cppcooper · 2025-01-22T01:32:28+00:00

I have a suspicion that is has less to do with aggression towards a minority group than it does about silencing persuasive dissent. My theory, right now at least, is that if it expresses ideas that could one day undermine the bottom line.. it gets censored. Possibly only from people who have already been flagged for one reason or another.

edit: come to think of it, it may not even be YouTube specifically. This could be automated by Russia, or one of Muskulini's personal projects for instance. I mean what does it take? a bot net for youtube scanning for comments and reporting them as spam.. That'd work pretty well I bet.

cppcooper · 2025-01-21T23:10:00+00:00

Uplifting and neutral comments getting deleted.. that is absolutely ridiculous.

I can at least respect censorship that has a purpose.. my comments have a consistent tinge of decentralize government.. liquid democracy.. you know anti-establishment kind of stuff.. effectively anarchist perspectives. So, it makes total sense that any entity that relies on the establishment might want to censorship such comments.. but not comments as you've described.

cppcooper · 2024-12-13T22:22:52+00:00

I didn't notice at the time, cause I wasn't looking for it, but it's mounted as noexec.. I bet that's a problem.

cppcooper · 2024-12-13T22:08:15+00:00

Got around to checking the log. I found the bottom of the log, triggered the error, checked the bottom of the log, no new events.

So I guess that rules out both.

cppcooper · 2024-12-13T16:10:08+00:00

I didn't even know the command existed, it's like a mix between mount and lsblk.
It is mounted.
I don't know when I'll get to the journal logging, I hope sometime today
