people have been calling LLMs 'a solution in search of a problem' for a long time but perhaps its implementers have simply become unable to comprehend UX as a concept

like practically speaking I'm sure it would receive pushback, given how it's become such a cultural and ideological grandstand on the developers' part, but if I wanted to sell people on my novel technology I would focus on leveraging it in useful ways instead of confusing bullshit like attie

yeah I didn't want to say it but like....... it's kind of funny, isn't it.......

spinning up your own translation service is not a trivial matter but aesthetically this is like hotlinking the images on your company website from Photobucket

I don't talk about bsky much because we've all seen this movie before, but it is incredibly funny to me that the platform is The Product + yet if you click 'translate' under a post it just sends you to Google Translate

when your ideological/political movement is centered around the idea that the powerful should be allowed to victimize the less powerful, turns out this kind of thing becomes inextricable from it

in fifty years 'pedocon theory' will be a major lens for understanding this period

they can boil it to find out

I always forget ff6 has a yet in it. I always forget his name is essentially 'cryptidbert'

is it good when civilization is largely divided into 'those who have experienced such suffering and responsibility as to age them before their time' and 'those who have been so insulated from it that they are spiritually 12' and the latter group has all the money

How Canadians pay for fossil fuels with our bodies | The Narwhal The affordability crisis brings about talk of the price at the gas pump, but more Canadians are realizing the cost climate change is taking on our health

The Narwhal is launching a cross-newsroom series today on the costs of climate change, and who is and isn’t covering their fair share. It’s called Who Pays?, and the first story is about the toll on human health: thenarwhal.ca/climate-chan...

This is indeed a despicable piece, filled with errors of fact, but this one stood out to me since comics are my beat: Maia Kobabe’s “Gender Queer” does not depict any such thing and the assertion that it does, after years of litigating and relitigating every panel in the book, is frankly libelous.

this is honestly not the first time I've heard it compared to pn03... B-list games are back babey

Us skittering across this uncertain world

americans really love to self-eulogize about their evil country

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

(romantically) I'll have your guts for garters

friend, the linked article is literally about Cory Booker, a major figure in the Democratic party apparatus, doing this. I don't care if you were in an argument, or imagined an argument in the shower this morning, but I'm not going to derail reality to roleplay the other side of it for you

and this in service to the fact that the current dominant politics of the DNC are those of a private corporation, with a seniority-based system of promotions and a set of goals that are more careerist than political

I do think 'anonymous people having arguments online' and 'official statements from a political party's leadership' are two very different orders of magnitude when it comes to like, requirements for messaging discipline and cogent strategy

see, but the secret sauce is that you can call anyone who criticizes the party a 'non-voter' and then you've placed them in a position where they have to clarify their voting record. a large portion of its use is just to be a thought-terminating cliche

'who started it' is not an important point here but you should be able to apply a critical lens to the entire party, not just some random people you found annoying

friend, this is about something centrist dems have been doing since at least 2016

many happy returns!!!
