I’m in a pretty bad fucking mood but I kind of figured that was more my problem.

Maybe next time they’ll lose by even less! That’s about the best progress I can hope for in this country in my lifetime.

A couple of multi-millionaires would pay you to stop and then you’d implode.

Still a net win for everyone else though, I support this.

I’d take it. Truly mastering any single skill is almost certainly beyond my ability anyway.

I’m only okay at some things so being okay at all things is a total win.

Democracies around the world rightly shouldn’t tolerate the blatant corruption and manipulative business practice of American tech companies.

I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.

1440p at 120Hz+ is superior to 4k 60Hz and is much more achievable for most hardware anyway. That’s the sweet spot in my opinion.

For media 4k is a pretty big upgrade from 1080p though.

Municipal governments go where the people are.

People need to leave Twitter, that’s the real problem.

Oh yeah!? If I’m so dang smart why am I not generating 100 billion dollars in value?

YouTube also decided that every video should be ten minutes long and made the algorithm recommend videos of that length so everyone had to start making their videos ten minutes long even if it made no sense to do so.

Maybe it only allows people with an iPhone to ring your doorbell. Everyone else has to knock and then the doorbell just teases you the whole time to shame you into buying an iPhone.

I’m convinced it will be easy to sell solar to the Right once it is marketed as ‘off-grid independent self-sufficient energy’ instead of ‘green energy’.

Instead it is a message to tyrants: The US is for sale, you may loot and pillage as you desire. The law cannot and will not stop you.

They are for your instance admin but not the whole fediverse.

What I’m still not sure of is this… When these websites die will the LLMs stagnate with no new data to use for training or will they somehow keep up with new technology and eliminate the need for certain basic questions that would originally have required human input?

the FCC was looking for feedback on the hate of data caps

A Republican lead FCC (Ajit Pai or some other smug fuck) will never mobilize the FCC to curb unfair and unreasonable data caps.

I only go in the server room to t-pose in front of the giant air conditioner to cool off.

Soak in some gorgeous views and learn about your local waterways. Reconnect with the land around you.

Good advice while those things last I guess.

A republican majority lead by an authoritarian effectively ends any possibility that climate change can be slowed or reversed within any of our lifetimes. Don’t think of it as the hottest summer on record… think of it as the coolest summer of the rest of your life.

He’ll executive action everything and bypass the legislature entirely. Who will stop him? The courts?

Facial recognition confirmed he was a criminal and the scanner confirmed he had a gun! Of course we opened fire instantly. How could we have known it was just some guy with a water bottle?
