I like how every OS update I've had to my phone and PC in the past 18 months has made a new basic thing that's worked forever stop working each time. In the AI vibe coding world your choice is either current security or a working device.

15 Floor MD run
Sinking team + Mersault
Omg I finally finished a 15 floor mirror dungeon run. My team was hella scuffed and I only did 34 of the adversities instead of 50 but damn I thought I was hella cooked.
I made a new daily game!! It's called NonoDaily ✏️
It's all about Nonogram (Picross) puzzles :-)

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

I was detained by ICE, one of the agents asked me out on a date and I feel scared I (26.f) am originally from Russia (Russian mom/Ukrainian dad) and a couple weeks ago at a Target parking lot, I was on my phone speaking in Russian to my mom when two guys in masks, wearing Border Patrol uniforms stopped me. They asked if I spoke English, I said yes, demanded to see my ID so I gave them my driver's license and passport card. They asked me questions like what am I doing here, what is my legal status (yes I am a citizen but they should have known that given I just gave them my passport card), what do I do for work (I work for the VA) and how long I've been here, etc. They told me to sit and wait in the back of their vehicle while they checked my IDs. While I was detained, one of the agents who stopped me told me to unlock my phone and give it to him so I complied. He checked it for a few minutes then gave it back to me. Now last Thursday night, last week, I got a text from a number I didn't recognize but as I was expecting a call that week, I answered it. When I answered the guy on the other line asked me "am I speaking with [my name]" and I said yes. He then tried making small talk, asking how my day was, etc and I answered his questions. I then asked him who he was and how he got my number but he seemed to try and dodge those questions. He then asked if I'd be free on Friday night or Saturday night. I told him something along the lines of "maybe but I don't know you". I then pressed him again, asking him how he got my number, how does he know me, etc. He then admitted that he was one of the Border Patrol agents who detained me and checked my phone. He went on to say that when he was going through my phone, he noticed I had Bumble and Tinder so thought he'd just take my number and try to contact me directly.
I felt sick when he said this but told him that this was inappropriate and if immigration enforcement needs to contact me, they do have the phone number and details of my family's lawyer, and I could he reached through those more formal channels. He the said that this wasn't an "official business" thing, saying he knew I was single and looking to date, he said I was cute and liked how I "obedient" (literally the word he used) I was, so figured he could just shoot his shot by trying to ask me out directly. I told him, "I'm sorry but I don't think this is really appropriate". He then said, I "got to get back to work now so just think about it", then hung up. It's been a few days since and I guess it's just sinking in how messed up and inappropriate this was, and I yeah, I feel scared and shaken by all this, being detained itself was terrifying to think where I'd be taken to or what would happen but at the same time, I don't know how to feel if I'm overreacting, underreacting or what. Edit: Thank you for all the support and advice. Also, for those who asked in my DMs, yes my dad and I are naturaalized US citizens but due to past immigration problems, my mom is not a US citizen but she is a legal green card holder.
This post is very popular on Reddit today and I figured some people here might like to see it
TL;DR a woman was detained by ICE and later one of the detaining officers reached out to her in and attempt to take her on a date
He said she he found her attractive because she was "cute" and "obedient"
Trying to ban "from the river to the sea" is almost identical to trying to ban "Always was, always will be"
Imagine a political party trying to do the latter - they'd be rightfully driven like a tent peg.
Caving in to a foreign influence operation because it's easy is pathetic.
also reinforces my view: it's all built on theft. like the LLMs themselves.
Their DAM solution looks like a thinly-reskinned godot.
I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Criterion releasing K Pop Demon Hunters is a net benefit for everyone - those who like the movie will get a really good home release of it, those who don’t care about the movie will benefit from Criterion having a certified money maker that they can use to help fund more obscure/niche releases

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: “3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.
The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)
turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company
we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running
"Holy shit, look at me, I'm doing something that just a year or so ago I found really hard and stressful and confusing, but it's second nature now."
Generative AI deliberately removes this, entirely, from learning.
Imagine an entire generation of people who would look at the Frieren angle thing and literally not be able to understand why artists would respond with a flood of support and advice.
A workforce trained to normalize generative AI is a workforce that *will not be able to understand* people talking about creativity and pride in gaining skills and the value of their labor. It'll be alien to them.
evangelicals are such a joke. 100 years of patting themselves on the back about how they're totally gonna recognize the antichrist when he shows up, now a LDS-alligned torture porn billionaire literally named MR BEAST is building a child financial enslavement app and they sleep
wow. sydney's very own bloated roid rage ICE thugs. What a fucking display
-Cop grabs guy with his hands up by the shirt
-Cop trips over his own bike, dragging guy with him by his bag
-Other cops start viciously *punching* guy as the unco bike cop drags him along?
Would almost be funny if it wasn't so disgusting. Psychos.
Assaulting people while they pray peacefully in public is a new low for the Australian police. Shame on them. #Herzog #Gaza
It can be difficult sometimes to distinguish between social cohesion and common assault

AHHHHHHH!
Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.
Even pre-Musk, Twitter's percieved influence was always outsized, largely because it was where journalists/wonks etc. hung out, which is also the main reason, imo, why these people will not give up the platform, even as it just becomes Stormfront with added CSAM and scams
