  • everyone hates AI

    Jump

  • If it's something like Google or Windows that's suddenly started generating AI "answers" or whatever when you just use your computer as normal, does that get counted in those statistics?

    I bet it does, and I bet it accounts for a huge percentage of it.

  • Cuba running on fumes as Canada considers sending relief

  • "Blockaid" is what it does. "Blockade" is what it is.

  • Oh thank gawd, cause I thought for a moment pedo fascist had taken over.

  • No, like Moriarty.

  • LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in

    Jump

  • IIRC, the last time I used a new install of LO for the first time, it asked me which interface I preferred instead of defaulting to the old one.

  • How do I block a community from showing up in "all"? [Solved]

    Jump

  • cue X-files theme

    Not sure which frontend or app you're using, but at least the default web UI should have a block button for you, as it does for me.

  • Self-hosted voice assistant with mobile app

    Jump

  • I don't like the guy's breathless over-enthusiasm, but NetworkChuck has a video on how to integrate LLM-based voice assistants with HomeAssistant using Whisper and Ollama.

  • Nearly 500K Louisiana voters on inactive list ahead of new closed primary

    Jump

  • Closed primaries are cancer. Disappointed, but not surprised, that a shithole like Louisiana is switching to them instead of away like any sane place should.

  • US group allegedly ran fake law firm and court proceedings to scam immigrants

    Jump

  • At least one of the co-conspirators is apparently in Colombia, so my guess is they aren't white.

  • “All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”

    Jump

  • I didn't mean to imply that tall buildings were torn down, and the analysis doesn't refute the point that a whole bunch of (non-tall) buildings were torn down.

    I simply couldn't find better matching images, posting from my phone in the few minutes I had to spare.

  • “All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”

    Jump

  • You were perpetuating harmful misinformation. You are not entitled to demand it not be refuted.

  • The great businessman

    Jump

  • Does anyone really think he did it by accident due to sheer incompetence, as opposed to on purpose as a component of some kind of crime (fraud, money laundering, etc.)?

  • “All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”

    Jump

  • The obvious point of your comment was to imply that there's an excuse for the US' car-centricity, and there just isn't.

  • “All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”

    Jump

  • Your intuition is completely wrong about that. The US had an extensive system of railways and has since demolished a huge percentage of them.

    American cities also used to have things like walkable towns and streetcar networks, which were destroyed in the '60s and '70s in favor of parking lots. America wasn't built for the car; it was demolished for it.

    Case in point, downtown Houston:

    1940s:

    1980s:

  • Say NO to Mandatory E-Bike License Plates and Registrations [California]

  • Shooting it would probably work.

  • TIL: Suicide Rate in the United States Just Hit Highest Point in 75 Years

    Jump

  • Trump and this are both symptoms of the same underlying problem.

  • TIL: Suicide Rate in the United States Just Hit Highest Point in 75 Years

    Jump

  • "Ignorant people are less fearful" is such a nonsensical shit take.

  • Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AI

    Jump

  • A C compiler in two weeks is a difficult, but doable, grad school class project (especially if you use lex and yacc instead of hand-coding the parser). And I guarantee 80 hours of grad student time costs less than $20k.

    Frankly, I'm not impressed with the presentation in your anecdote at all.

  • Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission

    Jump

  • I understand they say the modified ads are offensive, but it's still kind of annoying that the article doesn't include any side-by-side comparisons so we can see how bad it actually is.

    Also, after getting blown off by their bullshit "highest internal team," the developer needs to escalate to their legal department by suing for defamation.
