INDIA: IL MOVIMENTO DEGLI “SCARAFAGGI” CONTINUA LE MOBILITAZIONI E SI ESTENDE. GLI AGRICOLTORI SI UNISCONO ALLA PROTESTA https://www.radiondadurto.org/2026/07/23/india-il-movimento-degli-scarafaggi-continua-le-mobilitazioni-e-si-estende-gli-agricoltori-si-uniscono-alla-protesta/ #News
I took two photos, each showing the back of moisturising creams from the pharmacy, which lists ingredients alongside a product description and more.
I asked #GoogleGemini to transcribe the text on each photo, create a comprehensive profile of each cream, then based on that profile recommend which one I should use on a dry, flaky rash. Gemini strongly recommended Cream B.
I copied the photos and prompt across to #MistralVibe, which recommended Cream A. And that's because NEITHER OF THEM KNOW.

It’s a bit like observing Hitler in 1939, assessing that he cannot even defeat the Soviet Union much less conquer the world, and concluding that he’s nothing to worry about.

Trump is doing nothing to protect the US from out of control AI.
One bit of paperwork filed to California’s privacy agency lets you tell hundreds of data brokers to delete and stop selling your information. Here’s what to know about DROP. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/what-you-need-know-about-californias-drop-tool
Trump has repeatedly and explicitly told the public that he intends to interfere with the US legislative elections in November, and a lot of reactions have taken the form of “well he can’t so it’s not a problem.”
As in, “Trump lacks the legal authority and anyway he has struggled to occupy and pacify even a single US city so he’ll probably fail at this too.”
And I cannot emphasize enough that he’ll still try, and still has a non-zero chance of succeeding, and still can do a lot of harm in trying, and still will require effort to thwart.
There's apparently scammers going round pretending to be Mastodon admins, demanding people "verify their identity".
Do not click on their links, do not give them any info. It is a scam. Genuine Mastodon server admins never demand verification like this.
Here's a guide to how to recognise and avoid various kinds of scams on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:

@FediTips @amministratore Good thing I run a single-user instance
Also, fun fact, while zoom lenses today are very commonly used as a convenient alternative to multiple lenses in still photography, they were mostly developed for cinema, where "zooming" during a shot is an effect that can't be achieved without the ability to vary the focal length on the fly.
@mattblaze Dolly Zoom says hi.
Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Half Assing It Pin. Can you imagine whole assing something? In this economy? No thank you.

Afaict, Guardian is "remembering" that you've been there - like how the paywall at the Nation works.
So if you're clicking on a link I posted and saying "Nina I can read it just fine" - try clicking two more links.
I just did it incognito and if I keep the previous windows open, it trips me up at "sign in or no go further" at the third article.
ofc, if I close ALL incognito windows and start over, I get the first two clicks with the optional sign in wall before the mandatory one.
@rsf92 He's a trillionaire who exerts an enormous amount of influence over the government and public opinion, so IMO he should be relentlessly confronted and mocked.
@KevinCarson1 what you say it's true, except the technicality that's he's no longer a trillionaire.
Nevertheless, I think anyone who doesn't know yet that he's a fool, won't be convinced by any amount of criticism and mockery, specially in public spaces like this, I've personally had more success in one on one conversations.
In any case, your criticism on the original post is on point, and to think some people think this guy is a genius!
I took a look at this “Sabrina Carpenter” person and it appears her music is very mid and her looks as well. What’s the appeal?
@slims You think Sabrina Carpenter isn’t so good looking? Shall I walk around with a bag over my head for the rest of my life?
