a guy on one of those e-scooters almost killed my son, who coincidentally, was going to his job at a bike store.
had it not been for his helmet, he could have ended up with severe head trauma, paralyzed or in a coma. a co-worker was also biking along and got him to the hospital. the guy in the e-scooter ran away & disappeared.
in #nyc it’s usually a new generation of yuppies on those e-scooters. they think traffic rules don’t apply to them. never a helmet in sight.

Blood in the Machine
The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech
Hardcover Edition
496 pages
Published in 2023
by Little Brown & Company
The true story of what happened the first time machines came for human jobs, when an underground network of 19th century rebels, the Luddites, took up arms against the industrialists that were automating their work—and how it explains the power, threat, and toll of big tech today.
The most pressing story in modern tech begins not in Silicon Valley, Seattle, or even Shenzhen. It begins two hundred years ago in rural England, when working men and women rose up en masse rather than starve at the hands of the factory owners who were using machines to erase and degrade their livelihoods.
They organized guerilla raids, smashed those machines, and embarked on full-scale assaults against the wealthy machine owners. They won the support of Lord Byron, inspired Mary Shelley, and enraged the Prince Regent and his bloodthirsty government. Before it was over, much blood would be spilled—of rich and poor, of the invisible and of the powerful. This all-but-forgotten and deeply misunderstood class struggle nearly brought 19th century England to its knees.
We live now in the second machine age, when similar fears that big tech is dominating our lives and machines replacing human labor run high. We worry that technology imperils millions of jobs, robots are ousting workers from factories, and artificial intelligence will soon remove drivers from cars. How will this all reshape our economy and the way we live? And what can we do about it?
The answers lie in the story of our first machine age, when mechanization first came to British factories at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Intertwined with a lucid examination of our current age, the story of the Luddites, the working-class insurgency that took up arms against automation (at a time when it was punishable by death to break a machine), Blood in the Machine reaches through time and space to tell a story about how technology changed our world—and how it's already changing our future.

Van a cerrar en pocos dias https://gog-games.to pagina con una enorme cantidad de juegos drm free piratas sacados de gog. Aprovechad si quereis descargar algo ahora, es una pena pork no conozco ninguna otra pagina con una base de juegos tan grande y accesible para jugar pirata
PD: abstenerse discursos morales, no suelo jugar pirata pero me parece que estos tipos de paginas deberian existir por varios motivos.
uuuugggghhh, this is a bit late, but I haven't seen any posts about it... apparently Incus and IncusOS, both of which had a zero-tolerance policy toward LLM use, "now tolerate the use of [LLM] tools"
The change to their contributor guidelines was committed on June 16, which was included in release notes for Incus 7.2 and Incus 7.0.1 LTS.
https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/contributing/introduction/#for-contributions
https://github.com/lxc/incus/commit/54bae0e4d4eabfe0f1a1127b5fb0dfc986720654
Most of the new policy elaborates on the idea that code should be "submitted by human beings" (submitted) who "fully own their contribution" (lol) and are "able to reason about it [and] explain why things were done a particular way".
You know, "responsible" vibecoding, a thing that totally exists... assuming you can ignore the myriad ecological/social/legal/technical/etc issues related to the production and use of LLMs, you're cool with using fashtech, and you want to pretend that all your contributors are immune to use case creep, deskilling, hype, "ai" psychosis, etc.

I know many people have already dunked on this, but I have to add my own two cents because what you’re talking about here is creating a self-sustaining community, and if the 1% were interested in doing that we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Minnesota Supreme Court rejects Mike Lindell’s bid to recount GOP gubernatorial primary
I'm super proud of how the #openstreetmap community responds to things like Trump's executive order to rename Lake Ontario: the name remains tagged according to what is commonly-used in the communities nearest the feature, and they add a separate tag to note the name that appears in official records of different jurisdictions. So, you could seek out an app that uses the official US name, but most apps will use the common name.
