  • I know Charlie isn't the most well-liked on here, but I enjoy most of his videos, and tbh his first video on the topic was the first I had ever really heard about this specific initiative. After watching it, I watched Ross's video and subsequently shared it with several of my friends. Also, you have to give Charlie some additional credit for how much attention he gave to the topic over recent weeks. I think he's put out 3 separate videos at this point and even reached out directly to PirateSoftware.

  • How indeed

  • At best, that's reductive and at worst it's completely wrong. I get that this was probably a joke answer, but I feel like this misconception is unfortunate since it misrepresents ancient Egyptian culture and also undermines the impact of the unique evil of chattel slavery that was practiced in the US.

  • It's an interesting concept, but aside from the scalability issues mentioned, I don't think demographics are necessarily an indicator of a judge's biases cough Clarence Thomas cough.

  • I 100% agree with the idea that rap is certainly not the only genre to glorify violence, drugs, etc. But the specific song choice is not really a great example in my opinion considering the last verse is

    C'mon you gotta listen unto me

    lay off that whiskey, and let that cocaine be.

    This song always struck me as a cautionary tale. Nothing about the song really seems to glorify the behavior.

  • Tool-Assisted Speedrunning the Boring Parts of Animal Crossing (GCN)

    Jump

  • For this specific HN post, speedrunning is a bit of a misnomer. He used similar tooling to effectively add support for a physical keyboard and additionally a bunch of keyboard shortcuts that are capable of inputting custom text, songs, and fabric patterns.

    There's a YouTube video where the author showcases this. It's pretty short and a really interesting watch: https://youtu.be/Yw8Alf_lolA

  • I do have enough time, but I don't have the self control. If I could hold myself to an hour a day, that would be fantastic, but I inevitably get myself too addicted and end up spending closer to 4 hours a day. At that point, all my other chores aren't getting done. As a result, I haven't played video games in several years.

  • If we convict him just one more time...

    Jump

  • That's a fair point. I was under the assumption that they were still using the "invasion" thing since that was what they leaned into for the deportations. I can definitely see them going with "rebellion" instead.

    Seems like there is some (temporary) good news on the topic at least:

    A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Thursday directing President Donald Trump to return control of the National Guard to California.

    The order, which takes effect at noon Friday, said the deployment of the Guard was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority.

  • If we convict him just one more time...

    Jump

  • I appreciate you being upfront about your source, lol. Here's some info from AP News to help clarify a bit.

    Typically the authority to call up the National Guard lies with governors, but there are limited circumstances under which the president can deploy those troops. Trump federalized members of the California National Guard under an authority known as Title 10.

    https://apnews.com/article/california-immigration-national-guard-newsom-trump-lawsuit-aedf8cdd95ee899c9559d5e54a2e4833

    The relevant part of Title 10 is explained here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/12406

    Which basically says that the federal government can deploy the National Guard when

    the United States [...] is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation

    So Trump is (falsely) claiming that the protesters are helping Mexico/Venezuela/Wherever to "invade" California. Which is obviously complete horseshit, but unfortunately that same excuse has been working for his other fascist orders such as the deportations to CECOT.

  • Why can't the world have more of this and less of... everything else that's going on right now? 😕

    I don't really have a point, it's just sad that humans have the capacity to do such cool, fun, creative things, and instead we're burning the world down so computers can churn out garbage and blowing each other up because we're different from each other.

  • Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model

    Jump

  • But with the rise of AI, the dynamic is changing: We are observing a significant increase in request volume, with most of this traffic being driven by scraping bots collecting training data for large language models (LLMs) and other use cases. Automated requests for our content have grown exponentially, alongside the broader technology economy, via mechanisms including scraping, APIs, and bulk downloads. This expansion happened largely without sufficient attribution, which is key to drive new users to participate in the movement, and is causing a significant load on the underlying infrastructure that keeps our sites available for everyone.

  • Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model

    Jump

  • This is part of the larger problem that AI tools are trained on (and profit off of) content that is produced and hosted by others who are now seeing their traffic change from humans to bots. For content sources that pay for hosting with ads, this means a loss in revenue to pay for hosting. For content sources like Wikipedia, they are seeing their hosting costs increase significantly due to the increase in bot traffic. Even if you want every website that depends on ad revenue to fail (which I don't entirety agree with), AI is still damaging the open web in other ways. Websites like Wikipedia for example may soon be forced to lock content behind logins or leverage aggressive captchas just to fight the bot traffic, which makes things worse for those of us that still prefer to use actual websites over AI summaries.
