  • Secretaries of state urge Elon Musk to fix AI chatbot spreading election misinformation on X.

    Jump

  • I guess they are under the false assumption that the platform spreading disinformation is unintentional and undesired.

  • What rule or rules would you add to the ten commandments of web etiquette?

    Jump

  • I suspect these are not as famous as you think. Also, the formatting of your post is not as reader-friendly as it could be.

  • Thanks.

  • “A Terrible Vulnerability”: Cybersecurity Researcher Discovers Yet Another Flaw in Georgia’s Voter Cancellation Portal.

  • It's pretty obvious from the context.

  • [Serious] Best Pee Strat

    Jump

  • Drink a bunch of water (as in, as much as you can stomach or up to 32 oz or so) about an hour beforehand and you will really need to pee.

    This is what is required when a pelvic ultrasound is performed so that you have a full bladder at first but also need to pee so that you can then be imaged with an empty bladder.

  • Without irony, cops just nicked four Just Stop Oil supporters in the middle of ACTUAL race riots

    Jump

  • My first thought was, "They what? They stole protestors? Meaning kidnapped? But that's not how it's spelled....."

  • Be honest: have you ever lost your temper with a customer service rep? And did it ever help?

    Jump

  • Also, if you can and can do so without overspending, this is why it's best to use a credit card for all purchases rather than cash or debit. Can't do a chargeback if you didn't use a credit card.

  • My experience with System 76 a few years ago was similar. Perhaps the single worst purchase of my life. I had to send it back to them to fix the fucked up hardware (it had a loose power socket and a bad motherboard) more than once and each "repair" took months. The first time they sent it back, nothing had been fixed. It was more than half a year before the fancy laptop I got from them was in any way usable.

  • How do you feel you've aged?

    Jump

  • I'm essentially the same but with more wisdom/experience, less anxiety, and worse health.

  • Gunmen kill New Zealand helicopter pilot in another attack in Indonesia's restive Papua region

    Jump

  • “All passengers were safe because they were local residents of Alama village,” said Ramadhani, adding that the village is in a mountainous district which can be reached only by helicopter. A joint security force was deployed to search for the attackers, who ran into the dense jungle.

    So Papuans hired this guy to get them home, and when he did, their community murdered him. Guess Papuans need to learn to fly or never leave their homes if they live in a mountainous village.

  • Hotel to Search Rooms During DEF CON Hacking Conference

  • If I learned this after I had booked, I would be expecting a refund as well as compensation for missing the conference if I couldn't find alternative accommodation.

  • It's bizarre to me that the country doesn't have a line of succession for the next person to automatically assume the vacant position.

  • North Dakota voters will decide whether to abolish property taxes

    Jump

  • Property taxes are the base funding for numerous local government services, including sewers, water, roads, jails, deputies, school building construction and teacher salaries — “pretty much the most basic of government,” said North Dakota Association of Counties Executive Director Aaron Birst.

    I guess if that's really what they want to defund, then go for it, but don't expect any federal dollars.

  • Data centers got a huge tax break to create WA jobs. Is it paying off?

    Jump

  • "Environmentally friendly"? No, they use crazy amounts of power.

    "High-paying, long-term" jobs? Working in a data center may be in the tech field, but it doesn't offer what people think of as "tech money" and your opportunity for advancement is slim. Data centers also don't need to employ large numbers of people. They just suck up space and resources.

    Edit:

    The data center industry’s demand for electricity is growing so much that it could threaten Washington’s efforts to transition to a carbon-free power grid....

    The original bill required each data center to create at least 35 permanent positions at 150% of the surrounding area’s average personal income.

    A second bill, approved just a month after lawmakers passed the first tax break, gave recipients the choice between creating 35 jobs or just three positions per 20,000 square feet of server farm space, whichever was less.

    Oh look, I was right. Could have told you all that before the state wasted money on this.
