Kristin Sinema started out running as a Big Ol Lefty and we saw how that worked out, infinite credulity is not the calm savvy energy you think it is

american politics is so incredibly right-wing and capital-captured that its not hard to affect the vibe so when shit is sus how many heel turns are necessary before you start considering that maybe people picking up on warning signs have a point

[ lionel ritchie voice ] im getting shit

Housed

i dont know how many people are using activitypub but it is fascinating how there are just these weird separate worlds out there. through the mod panel i basically got to see where the groypers are and theyre not federated with people we're federated with but theyre federated with each other and tehre are probably many such cases

been learning piano since march and ive made a lot of progress but what i would rally like to do is get to a point where i can just kinda fuck around

@davidgerard the only reason any of it seemed Easier To Use than ap was entirely down to "not decentralized, at all"

new users: it is dangerous to go alone

take this: :bta:

@ATLeagle I don’t know. Maybe it’s your vertical hold setting. Maybe youre thinking of bench appearo? They are kind of the same guy

@ATLeagle I mean, he was tall. Chris Cuomo just eulogized him by calling him tall it was weird.

The fucked up thing about “people are reacting so strongly because violence happened to someone who looks like them” is no one looks like him. Bro was a giant muppet left out in the rain

i want more people to push back againnst the gotcha of "but isnt the left on the side of everyone should be nicer and get along" with "no, we were never that"

mark andreesen is above all driven by a vision to reshape society so its illegal to make fun of his head

@AnarchoNinaWrites tangentially: blister in the sun has an almost scientific jankiness to it that suggests violent femmes had some incredible grasp of music theory to know precisely how much to skew it

@AnarchoNinaWrites i remember when i picked up boys dont cry from the record store and was initially disappointed that i couldnt just mope out to it but then hypnotized by the intricacies of the compositions

The tricky thing about #foss life is you can keep tweaking things to your liking and once this becomes habitual you’ll wind ip with something totally transparent and effortless for you and utterly inscrutible to anyone else, and then when you have to use anything out of the box its baffling

Incredible. Apple Intelligence summarized BBC news to claim Luigi had shot himself. This not only had not happened but was not something BBC reported.

AI news summaries are a terrible idea because "just making up shit" is basically an unsolvable problem in LLMs

@davidgerard Wikipedia is one of the best things online so

well this had a good run

'The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."'

theyve failed to find a consumer use case anybody cares about but they've found a b2b market in the pursuit of making everything shabbier

@AnarchoNinaWrites @TheRoot @latest-TheRoot dang the article is even more facile than expected and if tiktok is any indication the thirst is not just a white woman thing

bsky is getting absolutely monstrous on the mod side, completely circling the wagons to protect j???? s????? while bulk banning palestinian users who are minding their own business

@AnarchoNinaWrites i read that initially as not representative of human sentience and agreed with that as well
