I'm pretty sure most millennials were born in the late 80s to early 90s bc the alternative is that millennials were like six years old when 9/11 happened and that is firmly gen z territory

got a party to briefly drop by this afternoon but it's the graduation party for a coworker's kid that I've never met so I'm not really sure what the etiquette is with regards to gifts. a card I guess?

like everybody else I am having my mind blown by learning that Hunter Biden’s paintings are actually good

there is so much hope for a future where people don't have to suffer from their own body. but fucking copyright is more important apparently

"we need to stop this technology, but for medicine it's fine." fuck off; you can't have both. the cures you want are built on the research you want to stop. kill it and people with treatable conditions die untreated. regressive assholes. fuck you

these are getting weird

seeing a resurgence in Cop Logic about copyright in the last few years has been exhausting. this only ends one way and the temporarily embarrassed vivziepops will not like it one fuckin bit if that happens.

he looks like he's got an attack called thunderclap strike of sixty-nine harmonious fists with a whole cutscene

The reason people keep discoursing about bisexuals bringing their straight boyfriend to pride is this guy spawns in if you do :( In the phase 2 of the fight you have to explain the difference between bi- and pansexuality and he has a HUGE sword

House on the Highway (1/18)

It would be a nightmare to moderate but it would be neat to have local forums and atproto platforms run by the city

This is one of the biggest reasons we should have municipally-run online forums & also local + publicly funded and run alert systems! Is the radio really encrypted??? We fund them! It should be easily available to everyone!! bsky.app/profile/rjac...

xkcd 10k people but it's 1 person

they care so much about disabled people they will use us to justify violent sweeps then remove amenities for us and tell us they're doing us a favor all the while abolish PEMO and put the damn bathrooms back

The "every group chat has that one game design focused weirdo working on their group's fave game" future just fired shots across the bow of the live service present

Its interesting to watch people just now find out that Hunter Biden is erudite, thoughtful, and self-aware. Addiction doesn’t just happen to hopeless losers, and it’s a shame we still like to pretend it does as part of our “couldn’t be me” routine.

we might actually qualify for rental assistance lol. might apply for a couple of months so we can stabilize now that I have a job. I am honestly amazed we managed to pull through an entire year of unemployment together without losing our housing. we are absolutely decimated financially though.

is this motherfucker seriously carrying water for residential schools, the facilities primarily known in modern times for all the MASS CHILD GRAVES we keep fucking finding on their properties?

yeah this is just gonna be a parade of dudes eagerly telling us exactly who they are and frankly, we should listen.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Everyone who makes HR lady jokes seems to elide the fact that the HR lady is presented as a negative because she is who disciplines people for sexual harassment.

While I don't doubt the provenance, this sentiment is something I've heard exclusively from people who think they are leftists.

you know what makes me angrier than anything these days? buzzfeed listicles. i can't stand buzzfeed listicles

never been prompted to think about the state of Maine more in my life. I hate this. is this how people outside of Oregon feel when we're in the news

this is heartbreaking and so evil I hope there is a reckoning for Wilson and every monster arrayed behind him that bears responsibility for this. blood on their hands.

penjamin button, my wife's vape battery, has finally died penedict against all expectations is still holding strong however

i cannot wait for the era of vibe coding to come to the public sector and start creating a real existential threat to legacy dinosaur vendors like oracle

this is going to be a really bad few days for survivors of domestic violence and assault and if you know anyone that is sensitive to seeing shit like "(obvious act of DV) isn't really DV" you should check in on them.

the death of traditional publishing should be celebrated tbh. there is less gatekeeping than ever. it's genuinely wonderful that people can just write their own books more and more easily as time goes on, with so many tools around to help with structure, editing, typesetting, and cover design.

onedrive appears to be having Issues and because every single thing has been designed around it functioning correctly, I can't actually do my job right now. neat.

we really desperately need more than one single senator (who is 77 years old) that shows any interest in learning about and regulating technology rather than a bunch of senators who are happy to phone in pointless messaging bills that are unworkable

this is one reason that even though i agree with the gerontocracy complaints (sometimes), i will vote for wyden until he is 130 years old

as it turns out I've got a ghost in a jar for this ADP disables ClearType, and it is designed this way due to severe bandwidth restrictions in the period it was first made. it's not exciting but it is an answer to something I've said "huh wonder why it does that" about dozens of times.

fired up venmo for the first time in a year and my last transaction was giving someone 350 dollars six months after I lost my job to pay for their cancelled plane ticket to see us after we had to cancel our wedding for health reasons. man that just sours my day.

i feel like this every day now

lmao I see what @segyges.bsky.social meant about Turing having headed off conceptual objections to AI well before it was a going concern I should read Computing Machinery and Intelligence

Portland DSA seemingly going all in on Glonzo really alienated the shit out of me and the people I know. Not even sure where we can go now because we're clearly not wanted even if we wanted to put up with that.

I asked the nice man remoting into my work computer if I could have a Linux VM and he laughed and went "I wish" :(

why does someone remoting into my box mess up the antialiasing on half my fonts. always been a thing afaicr. no clue why.

I mean this was just yesterday. There’s really a pattern where actual data analysis does not support the impression of radical disruption you would get from journalism / social media.

oh this is definitely some kind of federal crime but it would be so funny

we have found it: the perfect glonzo issue

what's with "full time" not meaning 40 hours anymore. 40 and 37.5 hours might be close and both technically full time but that's like an entire bill's worth of money every pay period I'm suddenly not getting

why is the barbed wire fence around the rose city cemetery facing inside

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

cool thread with links to artists using this stuff in novel ways. there was actually a lot of this before when people knew LLMs mostly as that weird thing that makes trippy pictures of dogs all the time. simpler days with artistic frontiers untroubled by Discourse.
