First monarch of the summer

I've been raising the caterpillars we find in our yard, using only milkweed grown in a tiny spot, for several years now. Last year I released 18, this year I'm already ahead of that number. We also have swallowtails after the gardener added golden alexander

I created a release for Super Note prototype in #high_impact. If you're currently on Windows, you can test it now (I'm not entirely confident in my MinGW compiling setup / Linux+Wine on my side).

Press P to open the menu and see other controls.
There's not much for now (3 rooms, just to test different lighting, persistent music and stuff) but here it goes anyway!

@glyph Perhaps understandably, he glosses over the thing that got him fired: being dumb enough to tell a reporter that when he got to the VA he discovered it was an agency full of good, effective people that was working fine

fastcompany.com/91330297/doge-

Now that he's there, he says he finds himself surrounded by people who "love their jobs," who came to the government with a sense of mission driving their work."I would say the culture shock is mostly a lot of meetings, not a lot of decisions," he says. "But honestly, it's kind of fine— because the government works. It's not as inefficient as I was expecting, to be honest. I was hoping for more easy wins."

A new Indian shop opened up in my city and y'all, being able to buy a full tub of malai kulfi is too much power to bear.

(not to mention the gulab jamun, kheer, burfi, gajar ka halwa, and that's just the desserts!)

You noticed how google search became unusably shit a few years ago?
Turns out that was on purpose

The recent court documents showed that Google's internal testing demonstrated that significantly worse search results would not harm their business operations. This apparent immunity to quality concerns stems from the company's dominant market position, which the recent federal court ruling
addressed. "Since Google doesn't have any real competition, it can make the best information hard to find, forcing users to stay on Google for longer and interact with more ads," Papadimitriou said. "This is dangerous for consumers, most of whom think the best results
appear first."
The strategy appears to be working from a business perspective. The study suggests that poor organic search results actually benefit Google's bottom line in two ways: they make paid advertisements more valuable to users seeking accurate information, and they force users to refine their searches multiple
times, exposing them to more advertising in the process.

The statement “why would I bother to read something someone couldn't be bothered to write?” almost perfectly captures so many peoples’ feelings about #AI.

And it evokes @pluralistic’s reminder that although AI probably can’t do your job, an AI salesman can probably convince your boss that it can.

In the end, this technology (or rather the market for this tech) is aimed squarely at its least noble use: cheapening and degrading human labor that doesn’t fit neatly into a balance sheet.

@wyrdscience.bsky.social I had such high hopes for a horror-themed dungeon crawl boardgame by GW. I was one of the lucky few to actually get both expansions as well.

Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-w

An illustration of a forest spirit in the middle of a body of water,  the forest on fire around it. Deer-like, with leafy entwining antlers, its eyes glow against the black flowing void of its face and tail that trails in the wind, transforming into flame. Smoke billows in front and in the distance, the creature’s reflection a shadowy distortion. Surrounded and engulfed in flames, the forest spirit stands with a silent calm amidst the burning destruction of its home.

My gas utility wanted me to fill out an online survey.

What do we do well as a company that keeps you a customer?

Be a monopoly.

What could we do to better serve you?

Be acquired by a public entity (municipality, etc.) via eminent domain to be operated solely in the public interest by publicly-accountable individuals.
