Just imagine thinking that the Twitter clone run by transphobic crypto lovers is too liberal. How.

Just ran across "annoying Bluesky liberal" as a phrase, and wow. Like, my dude, you have no fucking idea how annoying or how liberal it gets if you think Bluesky is too far.

Hell, I'm so annoying, I treat "liberal" as an insult that punches from the left!

#MutualAidRequest

Goal:
$0/$70

The beginning of the month is an extremely difficult time financially for @LukeOrion and I. On top of staying sheltered we have to deal with a few important bills (including our phone bill). Trying to raise $70 so that we can order some food and other essentials to cover until the 9th when our EBT for the month comes again. We're out until then and currently out of food. Luke and I are a disabled trans couple who are unhoused and have been trying (and struggling) to stay sheltered at an extended stay hotel.

Please boost for us, thank you!

Happy Pride!

It's really a form of green-washing.

It wasn't people needing air-conditioning (which is relatively energy-efficient compared to e.g. heating), but policy failures of governments in Europe and elsewhere that have led to this point.

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116696574148710922

I really truly despise "memes" like the one used in the quoted post because _even back in weather like in idk the 1980s in Europe_ wide-spread air conditioning would have saved thousands of lives in each heat wave.

Protection from both heat and cold should be a non-negotiable human right.

Like this is a luminary in the field, mocking his critics for making a prediction he finds risible when that prediction HAS ALREADY COME TRUE. He did the thing, and it went badly, in the way that everyone who is mad at him was saying all along that it would go badly. But he still thinks that he's right! This is not an unrepentant dumb guy being dumb, this is one of the smartest engineers in the field BECOMING dumb right before our eyes. That ought to scare you!

Sigh. OK. rsync discourse:

This is not a story about “vibe coding” or “slop” or regressions or even open source sustainability or whatever: it’s a story about mental health.

The timeline of Tridge’s response in particular can be broke down like so:

1. AI skeptics say "LLMs create difficult-to-evaluate defects, even if you're careful"
2. Tridge introduces defects even though he was careful
3. he gets yelled at
4. His response is to say "you dinosaurs don't appreciate how *careful* I was!"
