@angiebaby I am looking for a torrent client which advertizes itself as AI crawler. So I can legally download everything.
Uh-oh, it's germinating.

It is 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative calling for a ban on "conversion therapy" (here meaning, pseudoscientific attempts to "cure" LGBTQs) is less than 250,000 votes from success. This is astounding, the votes have like, *tripled* in a week.

The page says voting ends "May 17", and I wish I knew if that meant "at midnight tonight" or "midnight tomorrow" or what. Uh. Do you know

Germany is ~6,000 local votes from endorsing it. Are there 6,000 Germans on this website

Man I love being part of the Norcal Haunters. We had a workshop this weekend and I built this delightful friend for my living room. 🌱😬💋

I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service.

If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them.

If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever.

This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.

Announcing Desert Bus Express!

Hey friends, At the end of last year’s Desert Bus for Hope, James and Andrew teased a smaller event that would be happening in May, and we’re happy to share some more details about what we’re calling Desert Bus Express. Starting on Friday, May 23rd, 2025 at 4pm PDT, for 24 hours, we’re going to be driving the virtual Desert Bus from Tucson to Las Vegas. Instead of donations extending our run, we’re aiming for the biggest impact we can make in a single day, all in service to the BC Cancer Founda

Desert Bus for Hope

GOD Gemini is so much worse than normal voice assistant when you're driving. It won't shut up and it's constantly asking you to interact with the screen.

In the past a design team would go in and polish up these interactions for efficiency and safety. But nooo we had to give control of your phone to the stochastic stumblebot.

I made a mouse meme sickos version for our discord: Squeakos
