Pascal: “I am having the best Christmas right now.”

Did everybody get this as a maths problem nearly every year in primary school, and again in high school when triangle numbers were brought up?

In response to another post about Project 2025

Congratulations nzmaa, you won. You’re going to live in my mind 24/7 for the next four years.

Well, we will know things will have gotten real bad when they start approaching sex offenders for fertility studies in an Operation Paperclip type arrangement

Now you’re not going to believe this, ladies and gentlemen, there was a time - not too longer ago in fact - where people called these metacrawlers, and they were beloved. People would say “Dogpile” yes, that might help, because - bare with me again - search was shit. But, comparing lot of different shit sources would generally give you ok information, and generally reveal at least a lot of different sources which could help find and gather information.

Now I’m not calling Kagi reputable in anyway, but if metacrawling helped with the situation before, maybe we should try it again.

Sounds like a pretty average day in the Linux community

I just assume at this point that Trump has promised him if he gets elected he’ll get to call himself a founding father and get to sign all the remaining copies of the Declaration of Independence

BRICS: For some reason, we’re going to make a money laundering collective for dictatorships and be shocked when people call us up on it and we’ll blame the EU

This worked out great for Lenin and Stalin who just skipped the middle step and outlawed the church, then put their statues everywhere

My bad for judging without checking 😔

Yeah, while it is true, lots of VPN companies are grifts just buying VPS’s and installing OpenVPN, this “Cyber security expert” puts far too much faith in HTTPS and probably never seen a lecture from the Black Hat conference

I listened to The Foundering on Sam Altman at the same time as listening to The Power Broker and they weirdly synced up.

• They only have one solution for everything, believing more of that thing will solve everything (“Just one more scrape, just one more scrape of everything that’s been said or published anywhere and our next model will be perfect.”)
• They don’t care for the destruction left in their wake
• They will walk over everyone, including their own family to remain part of the conversation
• The only difference is Robert Moses was constrained to New York

Impersonating exists, the difference there is if someone was impersonates you and says something defamatory, you can sue that person, what this article is suggesting is if I made an AI model of your voice I am not liable for anything I make that voice say

So you’d be ok with someone taking your fedia.io account and just posting whatever they wanted? I mean it’s just an account it’s not you is it?

OH HEY EVERYONE, EVERYONE, THIS GUY LIKES JSON

Fuck you and your unstructured garbage.

It’s very telling that they are moving away from the Nokia brand as well, probably looking to terminate the license agreement to recoup some costs

It appears that the flagship route didn’t work out for them (I rode my Nokia 8 for as long as I could, but the storage was giving me problems.)

Much like when Motorola went into zombie brand mode (after being sold to Lenovo) they leaned hard on the midrange which appeared to do ok, as well as their feature phones.

Google giving up on KaiOS was probably the other killer, money had to go into redeveloping their feature phone software.
