A quarter million dollars to sleep in an egg in a deep hole on the moon.
…I think I’ll pass.

Fancy a digital chastity belt?
The government wants Apple and Google to stop you from taking or sending pics of your bits.
Intrusive scanning tech on your phone would block nudes unless you verify your age with biometrics or official ID.
It's creepy mission creep.

i believe people when they say linux has gotten better in the last few years. what i'm skeptical of is that linux Guys have improved. i will not use an OS where i'm at high risk of someone calling me stupid for not liking some aspect of the experience. i must be allowed to hate the computer
Because iOS stalkerware tends to work by requiring the target's AppleID and covertly making backups, which means that the stalkerware does not live on the phone.
@openrightsgroup.org You are a privacy org, but I have to give my home address to become a member?
Please provide options at this critical time when your org is most needed.
Thinking more and more that GenAI output shouldn’t be for humans:
“Write me an article about…”
“Make me a picture of…”
But as an interface for human language:
“I, er, want some fries, big, and a coke”
“that big too?”
“Yes”
-> [“friesLarge”,”cokeLarge”]
It’s kind of incredible that The Onion’s aiming to surpass the Washington Post in print circulation but I’m here for it.
robots will be allowed to compete in sports before trans women
Or you could just use x402 and pay no commission
I’m SO HAPPY x402 exists now.
No more signing up for accounts. Just send money directly.
Digital purchases, AI models, even MCP!
If you are an AI client or server developer, please implement this!
(And let me know so I can play with it and tell people about it!)

LONG, LONG OVERDUE.
Agents need this.
The web needs this.
Humanity needs this.

The search for AGI is a bit like the search for extraterrestrial life.
We already have an example for each - us.
Knowing we exist means that life could exist on other planets.
Knowing we exist means that there is at least one way to make low power AGI.

AI coding has revealed just how many people in our industry don’t appreciate that for any long lived code the cost of initial implementaion is absolutely dwarfed by the cost of maintenance. So much that for long lived projects we can consider: cost of code = cost of maintenance.
"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace
A zoomed in segment of a n8n visual programming layout. Shows a box “Remove card from hand”, which has processed 52 items, leading to a “Is hand empty” box which has returned false 51 times, and true once. (Meaning that an AI operation has been performed 52 times in series with no mistakes.)
Experimenting with AI reliability in multi step tasks…
n8n could do with being about 300x more debuggable 😅
Currently torturing AIs with enormous context…
Hard to to not anthropomorphise 😅

In my opinion "Twitter" is whichever place most embodies the poster's spirit, and that's here now
Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights
the existential threat of the banning of porn/what gets deemed as such would be catastrophic for so many Cool Internet Queers. like, beyond being a former OF girlie, a lot of my video art has explored queer nudity, sensuality, and sexuality, and it would genuinely kill me for all of that to go away
You can be sure the TERFs are writing to their MP. Are you?
A very simple diagram showing radar, a chaff cloud, a confused missile and an airplane. The confused missile is aiking for the chaff cloud and not the airplane.
THE CHAFF PROJECT
Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!
How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.
Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security's "death master file," which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result of being added to the death database, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.

Me in the national security team group chat
The fascists are moving too quickly. In two months it's gone from trans kids in high school sports, to cis people at risk of losing their Social Security checks and being sent to Salvadoran prison for protesting Musk's cars. This is not a slowly boiling frog - they *blew the frog out an airlock*
