You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything?

That’s how the internet was.

I’ve learnt for my next trip, going past Officeworks for their bags of single serve TimTams and catering serves of Vegemite for people so I’m not carrying around half open packets of Tim Tams

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

Add me on Retro Photos with friends.

So a new social media thing called Retro is a thing and was made by one of the former Instagram designers, and is meant to be anti-social media because your friends and family matter? retro.app/@bencurran

I can’t wait for this to become “retro” and for techbros to insist if you can’t code that way you can’t get a job in <whatever acronym they’re using for the big tech companies now that somehow still excludes the biggest tech companies because they aren’t fashionable>

The LLM actively reduces the available context for the information it provides, which is bad.

But even worse, it *trains people to accept information without context*

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

We’re being told here that you don’t have to declare, the visa waiver system will check and reject you, that’s when you’ll find out. But that could be media sensationalism over here. We do love putting the boots in

Same issue took out a good chunk of the Australian parliament a while back, Section 44 Crisis. You have to renounce your citizenship and that can take weeks. Had to hold a bunch of by elections to resolve it.

One of the common concerns I’ve heard is that some people have British citizenship via parents/grandparents, despite being born in another country, and don’t even know it. They would be required to enter the UK on a British passport and have never even held one. That’s a problem.

Jen, why does your user profile contain a 42Gb file?

Or descriptions of files that are unbelievably small -
* Smol: 1kb-4kb
* Teensy: < 1kb
* Ittybitty: < 64b

Once, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology.

Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"

Game On: A Feature Documentary about Brenda Romero Help Theresa Loong finish her documentary about Brenda Romero: visionary designer and mentor, shaping the future of game creation!

Brenda has been my friend and mentor for 15 years, and not a day goes by when I don’t think about SOME piece of advice or random aside or thing she said and probably forgot about that fundamentally changed the way I see the world. I’m confident this documentary is going to be a banger. Back it.

This is the most desperate thing I’ve ever seen a CEO do in response to a competitor announcing good news.

The world’s richest and yet its most pathetic CEO.

Tis a mystery!

Pretty much came here to say this one. It’s just so well done, I loved the progression of them in Daniel’s office with Jack playing with a ball, to learning to juggle, to successfully juggling, to Teal’c also juggling 😂

I had been looking at the stickers and wondering which months I was missing, turns out only 1 because I just missed Feb! No Jan sticker from last year?
