  • A FOSS swipe keyboard that wants user input

    Jump

  • Swipe in my experience does need work. I'm glad they're doing this.

    GBoard, before I switched, was like 95% accurate. I could trust it for blind typing. Heliboard with the google library is maybe 70% accurate and frustrating. "typing" in that last sentence was first "topping" the second "ripping" before I tapped it out.

    To this day nobody is as good as Swype was. RIP.

  • Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election

    Jump

  • What does blown out mean? Weird headline.

    The state's most prominent anti-transgender Democrat, Nasif Majeed, fell to progressive challenger Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform, by more than 40 points. Other anti-trans and right-leaning Democrats lost their own primaries as well.

  • Reddit decides to remove r/all

    Jump

  • They curate the subs that appear.

    All is everything minus a deny list (nsfw).

    Popular is a list of what they approve, or more recently it's the algorithmic feed.

    I only used my own subs for my personal interests or All to discover something new. It was, at least at one time, good for surfacing things I never would have looked for. More often things that didn't interest me, but that was valuable in itself.

  • YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But scientists found some of the best fixes are actually free

  • My mom had a reduction paid by insurance. Your case doesn't mean it can't happen, just your provider chain is being difficult. Keep trying or change you're provider if you can.

  • An apartment caught fire yesterday in Queens, New York City. A man died because firefighters couldn't access the fire hydrant. A car is now parked on the same fire hydrant the day after this tragedy

    Jump

  • I've never understood why they don't for roads where there is a parking lane. Or why the connection is perpendicular to the curb rather than parallel.

    However, as with most safety things I assume there must be a valid reason they have been installed in this manner for decades.

  • Ars Technica Pulls Article With AI Fabricated Quotes About AI Generated Article

    Jump

  • I hope for more. If they don't have something substantial very soon they've got some serious problems maintaining the standards they profess to have, and we all should question the validity of their content.

  • An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – More Things Have Happened

    Jump

  • I'm waiting for Tuesday. Their editor said they're looking into the suspect AI written article but due to the long weekend are asking for patience.

    Which, honestly, I find unacceptable. To let something that has the possibility of trashing their reputation to fester for 3 days while their audience has idle time to speculate and spread the issue is just irresponsible. Surely such a risk deserves priority treatment. They're not new at this. I'm doubly disappointed.

  • Erika Kirk Under Fire As Husband's Pal Leaks Audio Of Her 'Giggling' About 'Event Of The Century' After His Death

    Jump

  • This is a worthless story consisting entirely of peoples reactions in social media. What a waste of internet.

  • Ukraine war latest: Trump claims it is Zelensky, not Putin, holding up peace deal

    Jump

  • It's always whoever he spoke with last. As such any statements are meaningless.

  • The Oldest Restaurant in the World Just Turned 300 Years Old

  • Uninterupted? Sounds like this place has never closed, even during war, in 300 years. I presume exceptions for holidays and maintenance.

  • Is that even one potato?

  • Israel accuses Mamdani of antisemitism on first day as New York mayor

    Jump

  • From what I've read the new mayor has withdrawn all orders from the previous mayor following his criminal indictment on the grounds that they may be self serving to the previous mayor and/or made as political favors intended to avoid prosecution.

    I've also read the new mayor is reviewing each to see which are worth reimplenting in part or in whole.

    Whether or not this was a wise choice is up for debate, but it is no surprise that those affected were ready to pounce in order to score political points. Someone associated with the new mayor must have seen this coming for this particular religiously charged topic, and must have known the NY press would not be forgiving.

  • Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

    Jump

  • I think this is less the legitimacy of the tests but the hypocracy of the admin putting such importance in the thing then retalitating against lower level people when one of their own appointees fail.

    Insert "not like this" matrix meme here.

    "Vodka = 95% alcohol" -AI slop

    Jump

  • Yep. Distilled to 95% then cut to 40%. That's why they're so often flavorless. The slop here is the missing information to make this make sense in the context of the paragraph.

  • The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal

    Jump

  • The FBI said the information came from a “sensitive source with excellent access”

    So signal not compromised, but a member of the chats was leveraged to share its contents.

  • Democrat Eric Swalwell faces federal criminal inquiry for alleged mortgage fraud

    Jump

  • Every instance I've seen with actual details has been improper use of real property tax exemptions. In many states you get a discounted tax rate by declaring your home as your primary residence. If you own several properties you only get the discount on one, which is supposed be the one you live at the most (ie primary residence).

    The "fraud" part comes in play if you claim multiple properties as your primary. It's harder to do that if the properties are in the same state, but it's easy if they're in different states since states don't talk with one another. It's so easy that it's often accidental.

    We're talking a few grand a year in tax savings. It's ripping off your state by under paying and people in these positions should know better so it's harder to give them sympathy, but elevating what may be an accident to a supposed major scandal is a silly headline making exercise.

    And why is this happening? Retribution, of course: first person I recall being attacked in the manner recently was MTG.
