But if you _do_ want some AI help, Graze has an LLM you can prompt to build you a feed as well!
Graze's LLM & feed builder also provides some explainability since you can look at the blocks that the LLM generates for you.

Friend of mine from work is on the local paper's website today, being all Angry People In Local Newspapers because the council refused him permission to drop the kerb outside his house AFTER he'd spent £1500 modifying his driveway.
And, like, I get where he's coming from, but wouldn't you seek permission before spending all that money?
@aral this struck me:
"Over time, people learn where those edges are. They avoid them. Not necessarily because they agree, but because pushing against them comes at a price. This creates a subtle but powerful effect. It shapes not only what is said, but what is explored internally. "
It's how the status quo is enforced. We see this with the UK at the moment and how folks are getting locked up for protesting genocide.
Folks not quite at the edges have something to loose so they look away.

Same in the US. This is why America will never change in the realm of racism because white men fear loss. They don’t want to lose their money, homes, etc. from doing “the wrong thing” for strangers, so they walk the line just enough to call themselves liberals or “the left” without making any real meaningful sacrifice for change. America is very much a posh mirror of Israel. White people keep white people in check and is why white supremacy, like Zionism, will remain in this country.

It will probably fail, as did libreoffice and collabora. Seems to be a repeat of poor strategy.
Secondo un sondaggio di YouGov diffuso da Tech Policy Press, quasi due terzi degli europei intervistati ritengono che sostituire i servizi tecnologici americani con alternative europee sia una buona idea, ma gli intervistati sono divisi su quanto sia realistico questo cambiamento.

🤔Now I need to buy two IMAX tickets worth of sci-fi books written by authors that aren't anti-woke, just to put my part of the universe back in balance.
🤔Actually to properly balance things out, I have to keep reading new sci-fi books until I find one that I can recommend to thousands of people.
@mekkaokereke
Fave authors since I stopped reading stuff made by cis men:
Kameron Hurley (The Stars Are Legion, The Light Brigade, Belle Dame series)
Cassandra Khaw (The All Consuming World)
Nghi Vo (The Chosen and the Beautiful, Siren Queen)
Zen Cho (Black Water Sister)
Neon Yang (Tensorate series as JY Yang)
Aliette de Bodard (Xuya Universe series)
Ruthanna Emrys (A Half Built Garden)
N K Jemisin (The Broken Earth series, Dreamblood Duology, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms)
I don't have a bright line between fantasy and scifi for a lot of these. I'm very attached to Hurley's books since she's localish to me.

And they are reacting to something real: Our “Western” societies have indeed become more pluralistic, less white, less overwhelmingly Christian.
In that sense, it was not some perfectly stable liberal democracy that suddenly fell into crisis (because such an order never existed).
Alphabetical clock
@catsalad Hello! I turned this deeply cursed idea into someone real and animated. I am so sorry.
Inspired by this post (https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/116268399785747534) I made an animated, alphabetised, deeply cursed clock.
