They say AI isn’t profitable. That’s not true. Twice just this past week, I’ve been contacted and paid to fix problems caused by developers who relied on AI to configure servers. #ai

People have ripped jeans why no t a ripped phone. Get that cracked distressed screen look that says “apple ain’t done nothing to impress me in years” Acid washed inverted pixels. Very chic.

“Do not engage in a winter campaign in bitterly cold areas. You will lose not just your army, but most likely your throne.” - literally every military historian ever “GET IN THE CAR, LOSERS, WE’RE GONNA INVADE MINNESOTA IN LATE JANUARY” - the Trump administration

My god, this is Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy. He wrote on instagram “I was tackled by #ICE agents & surrounded by about 50 #border #police. Just for taking photos. I tossed my camera to another Photographer to make sure it wouldn't be confiscated […] [Original post on masto.ai]

Spending the morning restringing my guitars and the 8yo asks if I have any vintage guitars. I do not. But then I thought about my 1996 Strat and realized that it is 30yo and that if in 1996 I had a 30yo Strat, a 1966, that would be considered vintage. Anyway, time is, as always, a mindfuck.

Got ripped off on an online purchase over the holidays for about $44.00 Sent dispute to bank/visa. Bank disputes my dispute and rejects. Just got off the phone to learn the person who reviewed my dispute lied about the answers I provided in their dispute form as cause to reject the dispute […]

#breaking Lionel Richie has given me one of his Grammys. Mr. Richie told reporters he had made the presentation “as a recognition for Patrick’s unique commitment to dancing on the ceiling.” I called it a “a wonderful gesture”

@lily @terminaltilt One of my arguments for #libreoffice now is : it can run on your computer without internet connection.

“How TiVo killed live TV” Sadly, this is a podcast and not an article so I can't comment on the premise (I'm incapable of listening to any podcast where I could possibly hear Nilay Patel's voice). But the headline struck me as interesting. The Verge:For a while, it seemed like everyone had a […]

A reminder to everyone that the protests in Tbilisi, Georgia, have been nonstop for over a year now with violent government crackdowns and masked thugs like we have here. But the Georgian regime has failed to break the nation's spirit, and the Trump regime will not break ours.

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy! If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from […]

WATCH — @nikkiglaser.bsky.social : “The Golden Globe for best editing goes to… the Justice Department! And the award for MOST editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News: America’s newest place to See B.S. News.’”

I mean, they aren’t wrong. There could easily be 100 or 200 dozens there. I do almost admire brazenness of putting the understatement DIRECTLY under a photo that clearly lays bare the understatement. Almost feels like internal sabotage (I’m sure there was an angle that made crowd look smaller).

The Morgan Library in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan contains an amazing trove of books, art, and sheet music. Although I visited for the architecture, I especially loved learning about Belle da Costa Greene, the AfricanAmerican woman who, as J.P […] [Original post on pixelfed.social]

getting bitter at people for being absolutely horrified at this absolutely horrifying thing rather than at other absolutely horrifying things is generally pretty pointless. 1

I saw a bunch of people saying they want AI to improve govt bureaucracy. My dude, the problem has never been the technology

This is humiliatingly weak and pathetic. The dominant national ethos has become one of weak insecurity. It’s like if Frank Burns was a white nationalist.

In 1980 the United States led a boycott of the Olympic games in Moscow due to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Sixty countries joined the boycott. The 2026 World Cup is mostly in the United States. [Yes, this post is about Venezuela.]

Bondi should charge Maduro with denying the legitimate results of a democratic election. Be good to get some precedent on that.
