What's the opposite of doom scrolling?

Spain just pulled off one of the fastest energy transformations in Europe.

I believe it is Sir Terry Pratchett day.

So, heads up, I'm seeing this post announcing palantirwatch.org being boosted a lot: <excised>

However, the site seems to be vibe coded and, while I've just picked stuff at random, most claims are lacking sources and/or just plain wrong. I think it is all generated by an LLM.

- For example, the "Court Dossier" page mentions a 2019 case "Kik v. Palantir", about a "former partner" suing them for stealing fraud-detection tech. But a far as I can tell, there was no such case.
- The op-eds listed on the "Media & Narrative" page don't exist. E.g., Alex Karp never wrote an op-ed for The Atlantic.
- The few links given are incredibly generic (e.g., linking to a Bloomberg search result for "Alex Karp" rather than an actual story) or incorrect (like the Palantir page on OpenSecrets.org, which should be https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/palantir-technologies/summary?id=D000055177, and the figures don't match the website's).
- None of the quotes on the "Karp File" page seem to be real.

The creator's other sites appear to be LLM slop as well.

edit: the toot is taken down, site is "under construction".

Employees at We Are Proud Fascists Who Do Fascist Things, Inc. are beginning to wonder if their company does, in fact, do fascist things.

There is a setting in Firefox (for Android) that makes it use Private tabs for links you clicked (in other apps).

This is great!!!

When I check out some random link on mastodon, then I normally don't want to share any cookies etc.

Do you?... By default? Really?
