RE #NYT #BrokenTimes
"arguments against it illustrate a consistent problem with progressive stewardship of American cities" ⭕That's #bullshit‼️
There ARE other #Ballroom near the #WhiteHouse, so these are the 3 real reasons for the #EastWingDemolition #EastWingDemolished
1. #Trump "demonstrating" that he is in charge and does not need to seek permission from anyone
2. #Politicaldonations are "pay to play" corruption
3. #Distraction from the #risingprices #economy

6th century BCE ideology fuels 21st century genocide to prove their god has the biggest cock.
Totally fine and normal.

Oh, why am I spending my morning looking through the source code of a Chrom(ium) extension that clicks OK buttons repeatedly, you ask?
Because I have about 1,000 transactions from Stripe from our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal to reconcile in Xero and apparently the galaxy brains at Big Business, Inc., think that making you click a button 1,000 times is just fine, actually.
Fucking capitalists can’t even do capitalism right.

Does anyone know of some good resources of people who are calling BS on the AI bubble? I'm trying to get a proper convincing argument for someone I know who's fallen for it and would prefer for it not to rely on just one or two sources. So far I've got @pluralistic, where's your ed at, and @davidgerard on my mental list.

In response to our investigation that raised questions about the effectiveness of Boring’s pitch to build tunnels to ease Houston flooding, Musk said tunnels can be added if more floodwater needs to be moved. Engineers said it is not that simple.

BBC: US energy chief tells BBC nuclear fusion will soon power the world
"...Don't worry too much about planet-warming emissions, the US Energy Secretary has told the BBC, because within five years AI will have enabled the harnessing of nuclear fusion – the energy that powers the sun and stars...."

I had a crash that took down Firefox, so when I restarted it it was the newest version (an update I'd installed, but hadn't restarted after).
I just went looking through the settings pages, which is a habit I've unfortunately had to get into because #Firefox and #Mozilla keep adding new anti-user fuckery in their continuing quest to drive users away from the only product they make that anyone gives two shits about.
And lo and behold, this is the new fuckery I found. Enabled by default. And it reinforces the need to go check for this bullshit every version update.
Firefox, if you had asked me how to cut my already diminishing trust in you to do the right thing by your users to near zero, I wouldn't have even dreamed this batshittery up. It's so much worse than I would have suggested. I have all the crap turned off - silently adding new crap and silently defaulting it to on is 1995-era Microsoft-screwing-the-users.
You feel you need to add this shit? Fine. But show me a dialog asking me whether I want it on or not when that version first starts. Don't turn it on behind my back and HOPE I DON'T NOTICE.

Hello @ranx!
Let us be clear: under this proposal, there is no general monitoring of online communications. There will be no such thing as “chat control”.
Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected.
Detection orders can only be issued by judicial or independent administrative authorities at the end of a thorough process to assess necessity and proportionality, balancing all the fundamental rights at stake.
"sideloading" is a stupid made up term invented to delegitimize installing software.
Heres a bunch of other things I'm doing while "sidestepping" some supposed central authority:
- sideshopping (buying stuff from a store that isn't amazon)
- sidedining (eating or making food that isn't from mcdonalds)
- sidethinking (using my own brain instead of asking chatgpt)
- sidelistening (to my own music instead of on spotify)
- sidechatting (irl instead of online)
Y'ALL!!!!!!!!! I've been preaching this forever: DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING.
Thankfully, I downloaded this video before it got removed. Fuck corporate media.
It’s not fair to compare a state-of-the-art-AI-assisted proprietary tool from a trillion-dollar corporation with a hand-coded free and open tool from a small not-for-profit cooperative.
(The latter works.)
