Man almost every larger creative person I follow aside from trans & BiPOC artists now starts to promote their masterclass what is this shit.
The vibes are outstandingly rancid in a mlm way.
I do appreciate that the shop reused the box, though, and judging from the writings on the box (which didn't match my shipment) this was actually at least the *second* time that this box was reused!
Got my masks order in a reused heavy-duty cardboard box, the kind of cardboard that you normally use to ship machinery - except it was a manufacturer box for boxes of nitrile gloves.
Who ships nitrile gloves in heavy-duty shipping boxes?!

I’d like to speak to the architect that said “oh let’s place a giant window next to the urinals”
@baldur (Usually motivated by - at least the perception of - some personal benefit they are getting from the existence of said ideology and systems)
@baldur I suspect it's going to be very similar reasoning to the "capitalism is fine, we just need to regulate it" crowd - unwillingness to recognize that the ideology is fundamentally hostile to regulation or responsible application, and preferring to believe that the torment nexus can be contained if they draw the boundaries of what's acceptable *just* right.

The train I'm in just crossed the border from Spain into France. No announcement and I expect no one else noticed the moment. Freedom to disregard borders is a huge boon to those who have it. Many don't and many more are losing it.

Sleep deprivation
The sleep deprived being experience of feeling awake and then turning off the dark techno mix it is listening to and suddenly feeling extremely tired

What makes LLMs work isn't deep neural networks or attention mechanisms or vector databases or anything like that.
What makes LLMs work is our tendency to see faces on toast.

OVHCloud suspended my domain after two weeks because I forgot to click on the email confirmation 🥴
@emilyenco Ik heb zelf goede ervaringen met P20. Is niet de goedkoopste, wel vegan (geen dierproeven), en het enige dat ik kon vinden qua BDS is https://gaza.nu/brands/?id=1822 - dus ik weet niet zeker of die volgens je criteria wel of niet hieronder valt

ranting about regrets from signing up for democrat email lists
If there's one thing I regret from my early political years, it's signing up for ActBlue bullshit. OMG, I kept making this mistake all the way until Bernie ran for the second time, and they auto-sign you up to EVERY fucking democratic campaign in your area, state, country, fucking planet... its forever too. You can unsubscribe, but they've already shared your info with thousands of other campaign orgs completely independent from whatever you signed up to support. Signed up to support Bernie? Well, I hope you care deeply about whatever Nancy pelosi is up to, and like, every person she's ever gotten brunch with is running for office somewhere too, and They. Need. You. Please, NAME, we need you. I'm taking on trump. I'm taking on the republicans. Please, bro, your money... please...
I haven't donated to an ActBlue thing in YEARS, and I deleted my account, but I will never get rid of the emails. At least I'm actively burning this gmail account soon, but I've been working on deleteing this thing for years, and I still get actblue emails... data privacy in the USA is fucking atrocious. I regret ever thinking Bernie could win...
Honestly the only reason I haven't deleted this account is I still have a couple of banking things I need to switch the emails on, but all the banking stuff is in the USA and requires me to fucking call them, in the US, and it's so hard to find the spoons and time... but these shitty actblue emails literally all comes from different emails and they spam me so hard it will fill up my email inbox and I'll have to clear them or I won't get new banking notifications because I refuse to pay for google services anymore. Ugh, this is such a pain in the ass...

This is a comment on “AI”, tech regulation, and fascism all at once because some people only have one fucking playbook and that is to tell the rest to lie still while a bully is kicking them in the head because an actual fight would make more of a scene.

What so so so many people in tech and media forget (or ignore because they simply don’t care) is that not only is it impossible to discuss something with “nuance” when the other side is literally out to destroy you, but trying to “nuance” something clear cut is capitulating to those advocating harm
