i used to play dark ages way back when. what a nostalgia trip this video (and the follow up linked in the description) was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIFty-O4rOE

mandiamo Salvino in caschetto giallo a costruire un ponte sullo stretto di Hormuz così prendiamo due piccioni con un(a) fava

Sul pezzo più noto e codificato, Stella splendens, ci siamo ingarbugliati e non abbiamo ancora finito :-(

Ora Bronson esiste solo qui.

this world, that trains us not to listen to each other, even though there’s nothing more important than each other

may we create a world where everyone can speak from truth, and be heard, and be trustworthy because there is nothing to gain by lying

because even now, there is everything left to lose

@tess it does auto detect, at least in the sense that the language indicator will flash if it thinks you're writing in a different language, and will offer what it thinks it's the correct language on top (at least for me, from the PWA)

@joannaholman I was thinking about this just this morning.

It seems to me like a lot of people still have PTSD from the pandemic. We never, as a society, looked back collectively at the experience. The world rushed to move on and reopen, mostly for the good of capitalism.

There was a lot of great research done about air circulation in buildings. We could and should have mandated better air filtration and circulation in buildings.

Think HVAC systems and designs for vetter sir circulation.

We could have come out of it with new norms about social distancing and not overcrowding public spaces. Or making masks the norm for service workers and people who are sick.

A century ago we improved public hygiene by building sewerage systems. We made the diseases that come from drinking polluted water far less prevalent.

We could have done the same for public hygiene for airborne viruses coming out of the pandemic.

Instead, we got a rise in conspiratorial thinking, and far right populism.

Until now, my father has been paying nearly $50 a month for SoftBank's fiber-optic internet.

Even though it was so expensive, the ONU that SoftBank provides isn't an integrated router, so a bunch of machines in my dad's bedroom were giving off heat and light. He hated that.

So I suggested he switch to SONY's fiber optic service (which is half the monthly price of SoftBank) and decided to pay for it myself with my credit card.

I did a really good thing for my parents. It ended up saving our household about $800.

"Gaza is only the start."

"The new world order is one where the weak are obliterated by the strong, the rule of law does not exist, genocide is an instrument of control & barbarism is triumphant".

"There are no rules for the strong, only for the weak. Oppose the strong, refuse to bow to its capricious demands & you are showered with missiles & bombs."

Windows, questo sistema operativo geniale e funzionale, fa partire in automatico gli aggiornamenti piantandoti il sistema mentre stai lavorando, però la scansione antivirus la devi fare manualmente anche se impiega poche risorse. Mio Dio.

I've seen repeatedly people ask if, when the AI bubble bursts, it will leave useful things behind?

My take is that we'll probably see an all-time world record low prices on RAM modules that are not compatible with consumer computers 🎉

render distance very low today

who used all the compute?

my jacket smells like airplane cabin

There's a polite use case for LLM: scapegoating. When a colleague comes up with an obviously stupid idea, you can spare their feelings by suggesting that it's an LLM-made idea, and then mercilessly mocking the stupid idea.

After all, paying for LLM's therapy bills is Somebody Else's Problem.

@tess at this point it might be “too little, too late”, with how broken the trust is.
