honestly very funny to see the line "We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average" in a study paid for by anthropic inc
A reminder that transphobes are trash and a charm initiative after years of trash being trash is not particularly credible.
He went WAY further. He basically threatened to order the military to kidnap the Pope by including references to the Avignon Papacy.
Locus is of great benefit to both new and established writers. That’s as true now as it was prior to the Internet. It’s still a non-profit. Help it keep helping.
This post is going around again so I will add this excellent resource: leavesubstack.com
People quit nitro so hard that they're trying to convince you to come back.
Don't.
Keep canceling nitro, flood support with how much of a bad idea age verification is, keep hitting them where it hurts.
In the wallet.
Who is making the "big government" argument has flipped and to some folks the slow realization of this fact is gonna be quite messy.

Working in IT infrastructure, it genuinely puts a smile on my face to see someone trying to understand how best to use different infra/platform solutions. So much better than "management decreed move everything to Fargate!"
I was just thinking about the term modem when it occurred to me we used to give machines an audible voice to communicate. And now our voices are instead converted to bits to traverse descendant networks. I don't think it's particularly profound or anything.
Dude Where's My Starstone?
Yow!
It's really telling that when he meets with honest competent people, he comes away questioning his own side's disinformation. Same thing happened when he spoke with Governor Kotek. Yet more evidence of elder abuse by his handlers.
Can confirm, I did say this, over on Threads. I stand by it here as well. And everywhere else!

My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again.
They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks.
They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT.
We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.
Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered.
Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙
If you attended No Kings and feel the rush and felt community, I have a very, very, very low-stakes, simple way to do more:
Go canvas your neighbors and see if they have planned what they’ll do if ICE shows up. If you talk to a few and they don’t have a plan, make a plan together.
We're fortunate to have a lot of excellent local authors who do book signings. I suppose that tracks with "it's expensive." There's a big difference between flying for ten hours and running down to your local bookstore.
Hadn't messed with it yet. Maybe I'll just put crunchbang on this old laptop..
Shit. Didn't know that about Omarchy.
it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc
and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

I really need to patch the giant hole in my living room/kitchen ceiling and insulate it. But on the bright side, the cheap oil filled radiator I got a couple years ago can keep the bedroom toasty with the door closed. 54 F in the kitchen, 70 one wall away.
Get outta my head 😆! I was just playing around with awakened animal rogues and swashbucklers in Pathbuilder
Why should you care? Strategically, it's very important that CISOs and CTOs understand that the AI revolution means business as usual regarding security. It may make us faster when we improve our automation with AI, but it doesn't make us more secure.
Now I'm just wondering whether baptisms stack. If not, does the latest overwrite all existing? Or is it primacy? Has anyone ever tried to 100% baptism?
