1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it. Then Idaho banned new city flags. So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows! Subscribe to support our journalism.

Idaho Banned The Pride Flag. So Boise Wrapped the Flagpoles Themselves In Pride Colors.
As public acknowledgements of LGBTQ life come under attack, local governments and citizen activists alike are fighting back in bold and creative ways.

The thing is the *entire internet* is different now than it was a decade ago (and, largely, not for the better). All of this is interrelated and there's no going *backwards* only forward. So work for a better future, don't angle for a return to an idealized past.

Here's the thing: there is no going back to a different era of Twitter. This doesn't replace it, Threads doesn't replace it, Twitter doesn't replace it. That era is dead, no return, it was a very fun 5-10 year window or so that dragged on past its prime until it dropped off a cliff.

We need more critique like this:"He uses a so-called “#opensource LLM” & that’s very much how he presents his values but OSS LLMs do not really exist. You can download some weights but cannot understand what went into them or really change or reproduce.. OSS AI is just marketing & openwashing"
