Yeah man, that Thomas Jefferson guy was a real unhinged fuckwad.

I get the skepticism, but where’s the profit in using NaCl as a catalyst in pyrolysis? If anything they’d be pushing a new and exotic catalyst that they can own a patent on.
I hope this is as successful in the field as it is in the lab. We have a massive global plastic problem and anything that can help is needed.
Most people with jobs do have to open office documents frequently.
I work in IT and hit Spam on everything I perceive as spam.
Poison all the data and fuck spammers straight to hell, tyvm.
A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.
WTF why? Do XCode devs not use their own product or something???
Supposedly they have experts and think tanks at their disposal to help them in these sorts of endeavours, for what?
Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.
In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.
“We gotta cool the oceans down, that’s why I support nuking them!”
-Coming soon from the party that suggested nuking hurricanes
“We had authors and artists, but AI is so much more efficient they’re unnecessary.”
LLMs are coming for artistic and creative functions first. Is human creativity and artistry unnecessary?
Historically automation was on rote/repetitive tasks. This is a bit different.
So…Biden castrated the railroad union and it’s now functionally pointless. Any union that cannot strike or perform its own negotiations is a paper tiger.
It’s not better if your master stops his friend from beating you and throws a scrap from the table. All he did was remind the unions and employees who the master is. Next time they’ll be just as dependent, if not more so, on government intervention.
Railroads now know they never have to negotiate again.
Who, other than a kid in school, would willingly spend time with someone who “holds shit over your head”?
When that person is your parent. We don’t all get to choose nice and supporting families.
My mother would do that. I don’t tell her anything beyond how the weather is anymore.
Is something wrong with Gorillaz now? Demon Days was the shit.
It actually is protected free speech in the USA to promote violence. It is not protected free speech to promote or incite violence with the imminent threat of harm.
The American Nazi Party and the KKK won their SCOTUS fight over that, thanks in part to the ACLU.
I don’t even know if it’s technically copyright since if you’re not sharing it you’re not infringing on their market, marketing, or product.
Meta is a publicly traded company - that doesn’t mean they have business arrangements the outside world doesn’t know about. They’re held to public reporting obligations and have a Board of Directors hand-picked by Zuck (since he still has the majority control of voting shares).
A transaction like that is done in secret all the time, each and every day.
If they did the contract would be under an NDA. No way for us to find that shit out - you just have to watch the enshittification happen as the early birds get paid.
Good point, and this raises an interesting topic: is there much value to old data from a link aggregator like Reddit when so many services are no longer available and the old links go nowhere?
Services like Facebook or Twitter are seemingly not as exposed to that type of issue since they’re less reliant on external content.
Money knows no borders.
All judicial systems are at the beck and call of the well-heeled. Expect jail time - the rich are reminding the poors about who holds the leash.
That’s a great way to kill user engagement before it even starts.
Banks are private entities and can choose who they wish to do business with. You have no inherent entitlement to use their services.
Banks have been doing this forever - you just care now a person on the right is complaining.
Easy enough to do with PowerShell and just leaving the box running.
