@emilymbender Sometimes it feels like these people are trying to create a world from science fiction stories. For example, in Star Trek when they ask the computer something and it just gives them the answer. They don't understand that plenty of science fiction has no basis in reality and/or are terrible for how our brains actually work (like you've pointed out).

That or they are just greedy bastards that are looking to exploit anyone and everyone for a profit.

No nyt alkaa kyllä jo kansalaistottelemattomuus väpättää: Espoontorin ja Entressen välillä ei ole enää väliaikaisia valoja vain autoille, vaan nyt ne laitettiin myös kävelijöille.

Miksi?

Niillä ei ole edes järkevä ajoitus vaan järjestys on kiinteä autot, autot, kävelijät.

50+ ihmistä odottaa ja ihmettelee minuuttitolkulla jotta ~5 autoa hiljoksiin körryttelee yhteen suuntaan ja sitten ~15 autoa toiseen. Tämä ei ole mitään muuta kuin kiusaa julkisilla kulkeville!

In Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web.

While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to establish a new abstraction layer on the web. Where Zuckerberg with his Metaverse failed Google is starting the next attack: Your website, your work no longer matters.

Well it matters as (unpaid) raw material for their synthetic text extruders but not as cultural artifact you can share with others.

This is a literal revolution but one against the participatory web, against us: The goal is to take away the web and guide people into Google's abstraction on top of it. An abstraction they control and moderate. It's about monopolizing access to information.

If you care about the web, about people's ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-Googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don't use their browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment.

I'm still angry/mad that the display/model tents in stores aren't actually just a tent for your pet that you can buy.

@quixoticgeek the local supermarket megacorp sells 500g bags of frozen chopped onion, you just have to pick out the detritus that late stage capitalism considers 'food'

I often do similar to the above substituting rice for red lentils, heaps of sweet paprika, a dash of cumin.

The butter and the stock cube does the heavy lifting for just about anything you could throw in there

"I know the consequences of Ebola," said Noela Lumo, who began making masks by hand after hearing of the outbreak. In parts of Congo, masks are scarce survival tool. In the privileged West, some leaders speak about PPE with dread www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

New site: google just killed search https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/

yeah, we know. We saw a massive drop in SO/Wikipedia traffic over the last 2 years, so yday's announcement was just closing the deal. Google has officially killed the web that was made of links. It is now a giant box that steals web pages/images/videos from all websites and pretends to know everything with its model and weights often with lots of wrong information. I hope this madness leads to a better search engine and EOL of Google.

@natematias Great! The cultural differences are astonishing. In my region (eastern France) as in eastern Europe, we don't heat it for syrup. We drink the fresh sap as a medicine (and it tastes like one). You can buy it in the supermarket but have to keep it refrigerated. It doesn't keep long.

People here believe that the important ingrediences for this "spring detox" get lost by heating. And we stop collecting it when the tree begins to open buds: a way of reciprocity to let the tree its

"This thing that can only be meaningfully addressed by collective action, coordination and mutual concern, what if we conceived of it exclusively in terms of individual responsibility?"

While I'm firmly in the camp of "you can't solve systemic problems with individual responsibility"

A lot of systemic problems, when you trace them back all the way, can be legitimately blamed on individual oligarchs who should absolutely be held responsible

@mhd

I'm not sure the zither player actually sold his soul here - he did not sign anything, nor did he make a verbal promise.

But he _did_ risk his life for this, and maybe that was the Devil's temptation for those who were less resolute.

@TheBreadmonkey Happy World Bee Day!
Although I’m a bit cantankerous about it as it’s honey bee based and honey bees are not endangered.
Thanks for the shout out.
To be honest since I first came across World Bee Day I’ve laughed to myself every time I’ve uttered the words wondering how no-one in the UN or Slovenia (the instigators of said day) must ever have encountered a bidet.

Ystävän polttarireissu Kroatiassa alkaa lähestyä päätöstään. Muista poiketen matkustin paikalle junalla ja bussilla. Lähdin Ruotsista maanantai-iltana ja olin perillä Dubrovnikissa torstai-iltana.

Voin sanoa että kolmen vuorokauden matkustamisen jälkeen Adrianmeren näkeminen oikeasti tuntui merkittävältä.

This is the way.
