Even if gas was cheap, cars cost so much more anyway. Mass transit, biking, walking, and personal assistive devices ftw.

I’ve called people out for supporting NYT in any way in the past. People, this is the kind of organization you‘re laundering reputation for everytime you link uncritically or share a fucking wordle score.

NYT is full of shit at so many levels they think this is the article that exemplifies appropriate reporting. They spent hours trying to figure out how to weasel out of reporting this and still ended up with a piece that reads like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Six days ago:

Yeah. I think going simpler becomes platform specific AFAICT. So if you want to narrow scope it's certainly possible?

raylib is a pretty quick way to get started (not sure which platform but it has many).

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them:
— NO to KOSA
— NO to Section 230 reform
— NO to the SCREEN Act
— NO to the App Store Accountability Act
—NO age verification laws
—NO to digital ID systems

Trump’s Chance to Turn Things Around Tonight A conversation with Jonathan Lemire about what Donald Trump’s State of the Union address could achieve—if he doesn’t get in his own way. By Will Gottsegen

What’s the fucking point of the mainstream media?

One thing I truly hate about the AI period we’re living through is that 99% of projects are now “Check out a thing I slop coded, I have no idea how it even works,” versus projects like this, which tell the world “I am possessed of arcane powers and also totally insane, behold my works and tremble.”

I know of some ActivityPub stuff but not atproto. Not sure atproto is better suited for this either but I'd love to hear an argument for it.

I think I would lay my bike over the top and lock it like that. 😂

I can hear the cop in him yelling like it somehow commands us all to just do whatever he wants.

Early in my career I had an ex-highway patrolman as a boss. He lost it one day and stood right in my face screaming at me. He did not take my reaction to this well: I burst out laughing. Pathetic man. 🤣

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers

My friend informed me that working at EA back in her day was a walk in the park after her time at Insomniac. But I still want to believe.

I wonder if the devs working on the Burnout series experienced burnout.

tom homan is a bitch

I’d even offer to make a free platform for writers if people wanted to donate to support the hosting costs and a tiny bit of my time but at this point I feel like it’s not about alternatives, they just want to use substack and any excuse will work.

What’s even more confusing to me is when writers refuse to cross post to alternative paid platforms while acknowledging the problem with substack. It’s not that hard to keep your base while growing an alternative.

I’ve made it clear to the few substack writers I used to support. They can stay where they want but they will never get any money from me on that platform. All those “indispensable features” better materialize cash out of thin air.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

More people should listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

It’s all gross to me. We’re people. They hate that we aren’t machines that can’t say no. I think that’s really the core of it. And sure tech people are curious and impressed by the capabilities (not my argument) but they are missing the big picture

I have gotten back into shuffle mode. I sometimes skip a few but I have so many moments hearing something I haven’t heard in ages. It’s worth the weird transition between each song.

My iPod nano is almost out of battery 🪫 after blasting some RAtM for my train ride tonight but it is now showing Orbital playing “Planet of the Shapes”

I should definitely put more Orbital in my rotation.

And sure go win at some capitalism if that’s your boat but show me something technically new. Talk about it again! Or are those neurons dead?

So many techbros entire personality has become productivity. It’s like madlib growth hacking but with coding agents. I kinda miss when people would actually talk about technical details rather than their productivity. Why should I care how much value your bots can shovel for some rando shareholders?

Chuck, I regret ever giving you even one vote. You’re a spineless collaborator and look forward to seeing you lose your job. You should probably go to jail along with ICE: Stop enabling and endorsing “reformed” terrorism!
