Fuck yeah! My homeland making me proud yet again.

The imperial hegemon trying to pin this all on its own genocidal vassal state is some wild deflection.

This may sound ironic coming from a web developer, but we really do need get away from using the subscription model for software. There are things that it makes sense for, but most software, it's better to just buy it once, install it, and keep using it.

Unstoppable technology of the future still begging people to use it

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of - new account fatigue - new app fatigue - useless upgrade fatigue - terms of service fatigue

Would respectfully disagree with the headline. Silicon Valley have never known, nor has it cared about what normal people want. The sole purpose of the area/culture is filling the pockets of rich white people.

This reminds me of a “multistakeholder convening” I was invited to years ago, intended the solve the problem of “lack of trust in tech.” When I suggested the real problem was that the tech industry wasn’t trustworthy, the bros looked at me like I had three heads.

Yeah yeah yeah, we know very well that PP would have been worse than Carney but that does not mean you stop critiquing those in power who are measurably causing harm.

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

Buying glasses that you can't wear within 100 feet of a school playground cause someone will rightfully rock your dome so hard it snaps back like a Pez dispenser. Or, not doing that.

In a talk with chief data scientist with Pfizer, it was machine learning and neural networks, combined w/ very careful data cleansing, that allowed them to develop their mRNA Covid vaccine as quickly as they did. Just a reminder that not all AI is gen AI.

Goons in superhero shows are funny. You'll have a famous superhero who takes down supervillains on the regular, and this random security guard thinks they stand a chance.

"America in the year 2077 is a land of advanced technological achievements... and terrible civil strife. As in any age, most ordinary people want only one thing - a happy, peaceful life." Quote from Fallout 4, accurately reflecting the real world as well.

Your regularly scheduled reminder that buying and selling is not capitalism. That’s trade. Capitalism is an employee generating $500 of value an hour but being paid $16.

People do not get that Carney's whole orientation, for most of his career, has been the health of the markets and shareholder value, not the wellbeing of people. In fact, he probably sees people as an expense to be managed. We are a cost centre.

Just a little reminder that security experts routinely say that biometrics are actually do very poorly as a security measure. Not just for technical reasons, either. Imagine a password that you can't change after being informed it was compromised in a hack on a company that forgot to encrypt shit.

I stand by my assertion that this guy looks like Carney.

it is wild to me to have a colleague say that using genAI to do a "first analysis" of a bunch of papers to get summaries and then engage with those summaries is a legitimate way to do any sort of scholarship like fucking hell how are you calling yourself a scholar

This is indefensible. Canadians must boycott the World Cup.

Good reason to never again use an operating system made by these Yanks.

We now have the phrase "wildfire smoke season" in our society.

Hot movie take: Ferris Bueller is a narcissistic asshole, and the way people love that movie demonstrates how western society treats narcissism as a virtue, and not as a vice.

In Denmark, it's big news that the unemployment rate is over 3%. Meanwhile, Canada's unemployment rate is 6.5%. My homeland may not be perfect, but it's a sure sign of what happens when your government and society prioritize workers over billionaires.

So this is why Perry and Trudeau get along. They've both sexually assaulted women named Rose. www.ctvnews.ca/entertainmen...

Absolutely true on all points.

A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.) This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):

How I feel about Covid, Generative AI, and Americans.

Of course you can. Being anti-war doesn't stop you from opposing any political leader in the world.

Whenever I see someone refer to Zionism as "Jewish supremacy" and not "white supremacy," I see a person who doesn't want to acknowledge all the damage that white supremacy does to the world, or confront their own white privilege.

Yeah no

A Prime Minister consolidating power he wasn't granted by inviting a fascist into government is deeply alarming.

If this is a real pic of him, then the Pope's a Blues Brothers Pope.

I can't believe that NASA has a huge budget, then chooses to use Microsoft software on a fucking moon mission.

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Honest question. Is Donald Trump really so fucking braindead that he thinks he has to sign his tweets?

This is catastrophic.

editor: you need to rewrite me: why editor: because we need plausible characters me: whats the problem editor: You're claiming its actually possible to turn the Iranian govt and the Catholic Church into sympathetic figures within 12 months???

Happy Anniversary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOgd...

Absolutely disgusting. Not surprising given the neighbourhood, but still absolutely disgusting.

As an aside US missiles need ammonium perchlorate. The only domestic source is a facility in Cedar City, Utah US missiles also need RDX & HMX. The only domestic source is a facility in Kingsport, Tennessee US missiles also need engines. The only domestic source is a facility in Pontiac, Michigan

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

It's absolutely hilarious to me that many of these big American tech companies revolve around advertising, yet they absolutely suck at a creating ads.
