Thank you to who or whomever updated this template!

I wish there was something that would make Republicans panic, but as their continued behavior indicates, they can’t be shamed, and they have all the law and all the money, so why would they?

Have to admit, I feel conflicted when I see a new (to me) meme/image/whatever on the internet that’s newer than 2023.

I think it’s ironic that in light of Discord’s announcement that they’ll be requiring hard ID (which can be gamed, and we’re all up in arms about), there’s a similar, real issue of who is and isn’t a bot that is really hard to solve without requiring hard ID.

I love webs of trust and that kind of thing and it would be awesome to see it implemented on the fediverse, but when it’s possible to cheaply spin up an army of bots and have them gain “authenticity” for months or years, even that can be faked.

It’s amazing that there are still things left for the devs to do in 7-zip

Kermit on the outside, Animal in my brain.

yes I’m in the US. No I don’t like that this is what has come to be. But, for a substantial portion of voters, what they see on their feed or on tv is what they think.

It’s no coincidence that billionaire Murdochs have manipulated the conversation on FOX News for decades, or that Jeff Bezos bought the Washington post, or that TikTok US is now managed by a right-wing organization.

What the billionaires own controls lot of what the non-billionaires think. Neutral media channels have either sold out, given up, or been strong-armed (a massive shout-out to those like 404Media who are trying to fill the void).

Thank you. Something stirred in the back of my mind when I read the title. Would have jumped down the rabbit hole if not for this comment 🙂

Popular, but not well-funded, or in control of the mass-media, or lording over our telecom infrastructure, or managing our content-viewing algorithms….

I think they mean that content addiction (which we generally see in a negative light and has negative consequences) is fed by content creation (which we usually see in a positive light and is something that gets encouraged).

Given how many lanes Houston’s highways already have I’m starting to wonder if the cars are the ones in charge there.

So you’ve never fallen asleep thinking “I’d really love to dream about X tonight”?

Humans? Nope. Some kind of actual AGI that doesn’t care about long time scales and can be lashed to a metal rich asteroid and flung out of the solar system? Still probably not, but it could maybe make it to some interesting intra-galactic destinations.

Put an NSFW tag on this!

Everything about this is nuts, but a special lol Kamala Harris on the far-left.

To me it sounded like someone was trying to manipulate the video or the findings or something. They could have gone with the much more straightforward “researchers observe signs of tool use in cow”, but they didn’t.

I think they make a distinction between acting on an object and merely using the environment. The first requires more agency, I guess.

Yeah the title is clickbaity for sure.

So many things from the Modern UNIX tools repo!

My daily drivers are: lsd instead of ls - colors, icons, tree-view, more formatting, dust instead of du for better formatting, jq for viewing JSON, gtop instead of top just because it’s so pretty

(I’ve aliased most of these, but there are a few toolchains that have broken)

Noklahoma?
