@thomasfuchs #1 even used to be called "an expert system" before the buzzwords got applied.

Oh, The Onion, you are a treasure.

Ugh. The future seems more and more dismal.

Trump October 2021: “On that horrible day of January 6, Ashli [Babbitt] arrived at the United States Capitol. She was shot and tragically killed. Today would’ve been her birthday. Happy birthday, Ashli.”

Trump August 2024: "Nobody was killed on January 6th"

So #weird

@thomasfuchs But, Thomas, I saw a video the other day where one drove on dirt and over a mud puddle and the owner was so proud they posted it online. And it didn't even shut down once after getting wet. See how amazing it is?

The gun-loving GOP wants to again ban guns from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. It's almost as if their 'good guy with a gun' rhetoric is *gasp* just complete bullshit.
Only problem is, Wisconsin is an open carry state with a state law _driven by Republicans_ preventing them from actually banning guns in the convention security perimeter.
The secret service will just do it anyway, of course, but... Leopards Eating People's Faces, etc.

Fuckwits.

"Raising the minimum wage would increase prices."

"Have the CEO and other suits take a pay cut instead of a pay rise and record profit-taking."

"errrr... Communism! Immigrants! Democrats!"

@thomasfuchs Hmmm... So it will be required to do original research and write an original thesis about its work? Fascinating.

MAGA/GOP after Kyle Rittenhouse jury decision: You need to respect the jury and the justice system.
MAGA/GOP today: tHe JURY IS A sHAM, THe justIce sySTeM iS RigGed!!

@Polychrome Yes indeedy. 8 espidodes. The US only initially got... 6? 7? of season 2, but they all eventually played on cable.

Many of the computer graphics from Max Headroom season 1 were created by Rod Lord, the same guy who also did the wonderful faux computer graphics in Hitchhiker's Guide (1981)

@thomasfuchs @jhulten @deco @drwho Their mothers were hamsters and their fathers smelt of elderberries.
Fact.

@jhulten @thomasfuchs @deco @drwho I believe they would argue that they are covered in this regard by 4 (technical modifications allowed) and 5c (no downstream restrictions). They retain the same rights (incl. modification) to the content once created as any individual who they distribute the content to under CC-BY-SA. (see also their ToS section 6).

Not defending them (I think this is morally shit, but probably legally allowed), just saying I don't think that's a valid avenue to fight them in.

@thomasfuchs @deco @drwho Also, deleting your account used to delete all your activity. Now it just removes you and marks your posts as by Anonymous.

Hi, Thomas.

I hear your concerns and want you to know that Apple understands. We absolutely could give everyone worldwide a consistent and less-restrictive environment on our mobile and tablet products. Or you could shut your filthy mouth if you know what's good for you.

Courage,
Tim

@thomasfuchs That massive heat sink.

@thomasfuchs Word. The money from those who can least afford it is just siphoned into the coffers of those who already have plenty. hashtag amurka
