ugh spammers have found my sizzle free trial form - I was hoping I could avoid having a captcha or similar, but it seems impossible now

I'm not certain anyone "wins" this in any way the word "win" is usually applied. But in a war between institutions, the folks on the losing side are usually the last to figure out they're at war in the first place.

This is so disappointing from Katie Porter. I just posted a video talking about The People’s need for class solidarity vs. The Billionaires and here Katie is instead showing solidarity with the enemy billionaires oppressing The People in a class war.
Warren Buffet even said so.
What is she even doing! 😩
I hope you have better options in Cali, because Newsome is no better. Maybe worse. Ugh.

[✓] transfer social.coop to a cooperative domain registrar
@andrewe having lived through a few disruptions from when we didn’t have control over the registration,
I know it has been a multi-year endeavour, so thank you for this!
@jpm It's actually been updated after I complained and you're almost right; they're in "Pacific" with Hawaii
@evcricket is this a different Hawaii than the one in the USA list?

@dangillmor I took a Lyft to work today, and I think the driver was listening to an AI generated audiobook. The voiceover was definitely AI, and I'm pretty sure the content was, too. It was just this meaningless story with weird, repetitive sentences, and it went absolutely nowhere in the 30 minutes I had to listen to it.
I don't see what someone would get out of that.
@tuckerm Hmm, sounds useful as an insomnia remedy?
Aight, but it's gotta be danceable right? Okay well - this kid's relationship with bass really shows up in his next project, which we'll cover below - but even in the beginning, he "got it" the way few other artists do. This song is fun and danceable and bass-y as fuck.

And why is Girls and Boys important? Because without it, we probably don't get this:

Maybe this?
Or something like this?
As it does with everything else, AI is turning podcasting into a slop-ridden mess. This doesn't affect me much. Podcasts can eat up a ridiculous amount of otherwise useful time, so I rarely listen (I do read transcripts). But it demonstrates the increasing pollution of AI.
