Much more stable

ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."

Time running out to protect Bitcoin from quantum computers, Google says Google has issued a wake-up call to the Bitcoin community to take urgent action to upgrade blockchain security as advances in quantum technology increase the risk of fraudulent transactions and theft.

To put this headline into perspective: a quantum computer would theoretically need a few weeks to brute force good encryption — quite an improvement over the billions of years required for convention computing!

However, the world record of longest quantum computation is 55 microseconds.

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.

It's been so interesting to watch this unfold. Barnes & Noble and other big book chains shut indies down in the the 1990s (and on) and then Amazon came along and ate up all the book market share. Now people tired of big corporations are creating demand for more indies

Tax the rich so we don’t have to

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

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.

Some mother fuckers always trying to rewatch Blade (1998) uphill

Every so often I would do a page of 8-bit Theater where part of the joke was how bad/ugly/amateur the comic page itself was. In theory this would go much faster than a normal page! In practice it always took the same amount of time because making a bad/ugly/amateur page with intent is also art!

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Correct

One of the text styles has a decoration setting that highlights the text, so in the Text Style menu, that entry is just a block of white due to (not quite correctly) replicating the highlight. It's "fine", I know which one that is in the menu, but I'd rather the whole menu just displayed normal text

SOS-ed into two different AT Arkveld hunts set up by a longsword user, while using a longsword myself, and both times it was the Shinji and Asuka synchro fight if Evas had counter slashes youtu.be/AtUuaL4R1IM?...

Affinity Publisher 2 question.

When looking at the list of Text Styles, the text of every entry in that list is styled like the Text Style itself.

Where is the option to make this list display every entry in one uniform style, y’know, like a normal list?

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm elections have been advised not to antagonise pro-AI campaign groups that have amassed more than $300mn to fight for the industry’s priorities. The warnings by top party consultants, corroborated by people close to four different campaigns and party strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity, come despite internal polling for Democrats showing widespread public support for tougher AI rules.

They're calling it the best democracy ever.

Literally got serious about doing Atomic Robo the day I read an incredibly dull and clunky comic with a robot main character.

And most of the plots start as “This is my version of X” or “If they had done Y right, it would look like this.”

the actual best bond song of the last several years is from, of all things, cyberpunk 2077's dlc phantom liberty
