This article is weird. France isn't switching to Linux because Windows is bad - it's switching because Microsoft is a US company, US companies fall under US law, and thus simply cannot be trusted with EU data. Windows can't "solve" this. There's no "fix" here.

lol I genuinely enjoy a superhero skyfight cgi mess, but this would have burnt me out of all my goodwill if Disney gutting marvel’s visual development team hadn’t already incinerated it
threads is really bad guys omgggg today their discourse is "now that all the artists get fired from the industry will they lower their rates to work on *my* amazing project for which I can offer nothing but will TOTALY be worth it, btw if you don't I'll pivot to AI so you better 🔫 😊"
The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!
Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!
I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

So grateful that people in my online community feel the same way about AI and tech bro schemes as I do. Such a massive relief.I’m surprised that I share values with so many people. Not validating so much as it’s not isolating. Too much of life is isolating. At least I agree with good people.
Coffee breaks are greatly enhanced if you can step outside and watch bees while the kettle boils ☕️
These days artists are expected to be thick-skinned, circumspect, non-reactive, non-political, non-controversial and completely inoffensive. And also sales people, promoters, etc. when many of us have massive anxiety issues and self-doubts. There's not much room left to be just fallibly human...

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.
She missed these trials by a few months.
One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.
I feel such a hole inside.
In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.
Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.
