curious as to whether any of you are using codeberg. with glitch shutting down i need a new way to share open source code that also takes my consent (or lack thereof) into consideration with any AI strategy (which is in part why i'm not considering github)

Dammmn thats nice codepen.io/kiranpate1/f...

You're so close

Yeah, man, I’m sure the reason leftists hate AI is because they don’t know how it works and not the fact that it’s built on theft, used to displace labor and more surveillance/oppression. If they knew how it works and used it they’d think it’s cool/s My god my fellow tech folks are dense sometimes.

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

@erikras.com building traffic lights using XState and a custom React renderer that renders tsx as smart bulb commands 🚦🤩

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

Teach a robot to fish and soon you won't remember how to.

Watch this ICE officer casually raise their rubber-bullet gun to shoot an unassuming Australian journalist in the back from behind as she does a standup at the LA protests. Now consider again who the “lawbreaking terrorists” are in this situation. bsky.app/profile/dell...

Who is running an indie tech conference this year? Let’s start a thread!

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!
