People using AI to rewrite software they understand into languages they don't know how to use confuses me more than most AI uses. Claude even has/had a button to do basically this for people in their webui.

Now what am I gonna do with all those free Internet disks?!

(solemnly) You've had mail.

trump: I am going to shoot myself in the dick schumer: woah there buddy. let's be reasonable. what can we do to help you through this tough time? we'll give you whatever you want

Healthcare should be a basic human right. People shouldn’t have to fear bankruptcy for needing the ER. They shouldn’t end up homeless because they became ill. They shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to get Medicaid. For profit medicine is cruel & punitive. Universal healthcare saves lives

If the govt shuts down, I could lose work. If it stays open at the cost of gender-affirming care, I could lose my child. I can replace lost income. I can't replace my daughter. @gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, don't sacrifice trans people on the altar of political convenience.

Consistently the most upsetting thing. He is absolutely correct here, there has been nearly no meaningful fight and if I had to bet, the Democrats will roll over today and fund everything he wants.

Tell me with a straight face he's wrong here

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Sorry I am being a little catty as I am under the weather right now. Here are the files, 128 pages! #hacking #hacker #history archive.org/details/fbi_...

Trump is laying the groundwork to come after your Social Security if he shuts the government down

Trump governs like an abusive spouse. "Well if you didn't upset me, I wouldn't have had to harm all those people. Look what you (Dems) made me do!!"

this is the speech you make before dumping Joker powder into the reservoir

The rug pull machine continues.

As a public speaker, if you look out and see an audience looking like this, you have lost that audience. Hard.

AUTHORITY FIGURES THEN: don't do drugs ME: you got it AUTHORITY FIGURES NOW: Cmonnn just a little AI, just a sniff, just a taste, everyone's doing it, all your friends are doing it, it's so cool, don't you wanna be cool, I can't trust you if you don't, cmon cmonnn

The lack of elected representatives plainly saying this is deeply disheartening. If, and big if the US makes it out of this; there will have to be massive reforms or this is just going to happen again. But just like the last two times, the Democrats will refuse.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

We are the baddies.

Becoming increasingly apparent the US has the GOP and the party that willfully facilitates the GOP. Sure would be cool if there was a real opposition party.

REMINDER.

At this point, if the Dems vote to fund this, there is nothing they will meaningfully fight for. Will be an interesting night.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

I really hope I feel up to playing ff tactics on the weekend. Don't think it'll be happening today.

What the fuck.

This whole section really.

The concept of posts "escaping containment" on a public platform always confuses me. If you're unhappy when this happens, maybe send a DM to the person you want to speak with instead?

Have to wonder what meta paid for this, given threads is basically a dead platform being propped up by IG.

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

Ngl, Stanley in Swordfish using a "worm generator tool" while playing with a cube rendering feels more realistic today than it did back then. Basically just vibe coding & compiz blowing the mind of a man with too much hair product. Almost seems current.

The Taliban have completely shut down the internet in Afghanistan to “prevent violations of moral norms.”

I found more joy in life this way.

I'm pretty sure Google TV is sulking because I hit "not interested" too many times on suggested content. It seems to have shifted to exclusively suggesting Tubi movies with wild names. "You don't want to watch any of this Disney stuff? No? Fine. How about 'return to blood fart lake' then."

There is such a huge gap in the online English Riichi mahjong market, it's interesting to see. It feels like an entity similar to @chess.com could come along, introduce a solid no nonsense client in English (and other languages), and dominate the market in a short amount of time.

Final Fantasy Tactics is so close now.

Cannot be repeated enough: this was not a voluntary resignation program. Workers were told they were more valuable in the private sector, that they might be fired from their jobs, that they could expect no reasonable work accommodations, that they would work for leaders who were undermining services

if you think we have that long; if you are putting your faith in a hypothetical and unprecedented electoral victory more than a year from now: you are either not being affected by these atrocities, or have no remote conception of what being affected is like. you are a deeply unserious person.

"once the Dems have the House and Senate in Congress they can..." reads like "as soon as we figure out Cold Fusion we'll be able to..."

I ask this every so often, but curious if I will get any new responses: Who are your favourite late night (North America) streams and what time do they usually go live?

Looks like I'm improving at mahjong, so that's fun. Won most of my online matches tonight on both MS and RC.

I really wish the updated Firefox Tenhou translation add-on worked on mobile. The old one kinda still works, but not fully. #mahjong

Baiman! #mahjong

If Covid were really over, or “no big deal”, masks wouldn’t anger people. No one cared when you wore a mask before the pandemic. People are irrationally angry at those of us still masking, because it reminds them of their failure to adapt. Of the risk they’re taking. They can’t cope with it.

Chronic illness flares can be unrelentingly cruel. It’s one step forward and three giant leaps back. I made progress this week. Published an article, was more active online… even washed my hair. My body? She said “not so fast”. Crashed out hard. Remember… it’s ok to rest.
