It's striking that, in my class on Future Histories, none of the students seem to envision futures that involve less inequality than we have now. It's always radically more.
@ntnsndr I'm not surprised by that at all. Not only are things trending that way, but historically the post-WWII consensus led to the most egalitarian period in history.
Sadly, I think it's a blip and everything points to growing inequality and segregation between the haves and have-nots.
Když koukám na současnou “kauzu” #1password (ale i minulé případy jako LastPass) tak blahořečím naší korporaci, že nás befelem přinutila používat #keepass. Jako letitý uživatel BitWardenu jsem zpočátku prskal, ale nakonec jsem si ho oblíbil a teď už nechápu jak někdo může vůbec chtít si ukládat hesla někde v tom “klaudu”.
Bylo to jeden z mála opravdu dobrých počinů našeho IT.

What is the greatest science fiction film or video series to date?
I am not asking about novels of any kind. There, I am well-supplied.
I am asking about original or adapted film or video.

Would like to see some testing by experts, but a provocative pitch:

"SweepLED’s 94% accuracy in laboratory testing is a promising result, although further testing in real-world settings will be needed to see how well it performs outside the lab."
the Indentured Servent UI metaphor you might THINK to just point to LLM chatbots about this but arguably Amazon Alexa did this too in a more limited capacity and also arguably Ask Jeeves attempted to implement some of this
... hmmm.
the Feeding Punchcard Stacks Into An IBM Mainframe UI metaphor?
is that allowed? is that legal? are we at a place where we can like? do that? as a society?
Don’t need a password manager if you just use the password “secret” everywhere!
@thomasfuchs 🙄 Better use: incorrect
Each time you forget it, the error message is:
Your password is incorrect.

If I buy something, but it can be taken away at any time, then I don't own it. So, if I pirate something, is it then still theft?
@RickiTarr It, as far as I can make out, depends on whether or not you are a corporation.
If *so*, you have free reign, and IP laws simply do not apply to you.
If *not*, you are prolly torrenting a movie or annas-archive-ing a book, and you are criminal scum.
To all criminal scrum w/in the sound of my keyboard, *call* *me*. I will show you how it's done.
WE DID IT. WE WON. 💜✊
Wikimedia Foundation workers voted 158 YES to 14 NO: 91.9% of ballots cast, with 81% turnout.
We’re so proud of everyone who built this union, and this win belongs to our whole community. We could not have done it without the solidarity of Wikimedia volunteers.
This is just the beginning. We stand with our UK siblings in their recognition process now, and with future organizing efforts across WMF’s global workforce. 🌍

Hey all, I'm looking for work!
My contract with a private research foundation is not renewing this month for financial reasons, so I'm on the search—somewhat urgently—for a new remote job!
If you or your organization could use my services as an Electrical Engineer, Contract Manufacturer, Product Designer or Creative Technologist, please reach out! I will update my CV later today, but in the meantime it can be found here:
THE OPEN MIC I'M HOSTING WENT SO WELL
@SophiaSurname woooo
We stopped at a fast food drive through tonight on the way home. They use an automated order taker, which is some mix of automation and AI.
It's a bad experience.
Really bad.
I don't ever want to go back bad.
As we're waiting to pull forward and attempt to order, my kiddo says "Ask for 10,000 water cups. It'll make a human jump in to take our order."
It worked!
@North
Where are you searching?
Even remote probably restricts you to geography because of work permits?
@realn2s I'm under the impression that I can contract with anyone internationally who wants to work with me but, because I'm a contractor (especially in the USA) I may be unfavorably expensive in some countries. That said, I've worked full time remote and contract for US companies and my last contract was in Canada.
If someone thinks they have a gig for me, they'll know.
Die meisten Menschen verstehen bis heute nicht, wie professionell, strategisch und bestens finanziert sie seit Jahrzehnten zum Klima hinters Licht geführt werden. Von Leuten, die mit fossiler Energie reich werden.
Der Zweifel ist ihr Produkt.
Wir alle bezahlen.
