Good.

I’m absolutely against #GenAI. I do think that machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks have a place in this world, but what most people mean when they say AI is complete garbage.

The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger

As generative artificial intelligence tools continue to proliferate, pushback against the technology and its negative impacts grows stronger.

WIRED

Man, this seems really bad.

But at least our government isn’t pulling back on the #cybersecurity we need to protect this information!

Whew!

Leaders from countries all over the world are starting to look at Free and Open Source Software options to move their local governments and cities away from the proprietary lock that American tech companies have on them. They no longer want to have to rely on America. Personally, as a Free and Open Source Software advocate, I love to see this. Many of us do. But a question for Trump supporters: How the fuck is this making America Great Again?

I know that I'm preaching to the choir, but Trump supporters are absolute fools.

How bout Project 2029?! Do it!

This morning I ran 5km! Outside, with hills, non-stop. My first 5k in a long long time, my first ever where I felt I could keep going afterwards.

The shoes I bought at the start of this running journey have officially worn through, but they got me to that 5km.

How bout Project 2029?! Do it!
@VeroniqueB99 Ranked-choice voting.
@VeroniqueB99 love the plan, but doubt the dems
@VeroniqueB99 I would add to Project 2029: Eliminating ICE, investigating its operations, and prosecuting those agents, supervisors, and other personnel who have committed or participated in human rights abuses. I would also add: Passing legislation to update immigration reform so that we don’t ever have to go down this road again.
@CAman hellz yeah 👍
@VeroniqueB99
I would add a few other things to the list, starting with, repeal the PATRIOT Act.
@VeroniqueB99 this post from Bluesky summed up my view of the current leadership of the Democratic party.

@VeroniqueB99

Democrats? Feh. Good cop, bad cop, both cops.

@LevZadov wow...if everyone is sooo disenchanted, then why don't we trash the system and change it?
@VeroniqueB99 @scottwilson
Pretty sure Democrat leaders don't want any of those things.
@FritzAdalis @scottwilson whut? Naaahh cmon! If what you say is true... then voting isn't going to solve anything and the only thing that will is a good old revolution explosion annihilation type event...😬

@VeroniqueB99 If it isn't pretty much entirely net negative CO2 emissions, none of these other points stand a chance to make a substantial difference.

(The tax credits for purchase or lease of EVs & hybrids is on the chopping block in the senate version of The Big Bloody Bill, set for either July or September. If you lease, check the fine print for and actual rate lock-in.)

@janisf fair point. They'll add it. (I think?)
