disturbing to think many seem to think we're building an artificial intelligence god. not a devil. in this "economy"? it's cheaper and easier to get ahead, with building a compelling deceiver, than a thorough thinker.

It’s a trap” testimony from Gaza "United Nations officials said in no uncertain terms that the famine in Gaza is a result of Israeli policy, with the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights Volker Turk calling it “the direct result of actions taken by the Israeli government”"
I was at the bar last night when a fat woman in a sleeveless sundress strolled in raising her right arm high. She had an exceptionally hairy armpit, which she displayed without hesitation as she called out, “Which one of you fine gentlemen will buy a lady a drink?” The room fell into an awkward silence as patrons suddenly found their drinks and table very interesting. I was at the end of the bar heavily intoxicated. I banged my fist on the counter and slurred, “Get the ballerina a drink!” The bartender, laughed a little, poured her a drink, which she downed. Not missing a beat, she repeated her performance, raising her arm and declaring, “Who’s buying the next round?” Once again, I enthusiastically pounded the bar and yelled, “Another drink for the ballerina!” Unable to contain his curiosity, the bartender leaned over and whispered, “Hey, it’s your money, but why do you keep calling her a ballerina?” I turned to him with a lopsided grin and said, “Any woman who can lift her leg that high has gotta be a ballerina!”
do the people getting mad at bsky about this know that pornhub has been inaccessible for people in texas for over a year for the same exact reason? RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:z72i7…
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
there will always be tech solutions for those in the know but tech solutions are ultimately the wrong kind of tool for solving social problems. internet censorship is a social problem

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has officially declared famine in Gaza City for the first time, underscoring the catastrophic humanitarian crisis caused by Israeli regime’s ongoing military assault.
I'd just realised, contrary to what many say, of their younger selves being so naive and foolish, even stupid; and contrast to a lot of the generalised generation put-downs, I'd not be telling my younger self off for foolishness, I'd be encouraging and reassuring of not-as-dumb-as-they-tell-you-you-are type sentiments.
Cyberpunk 2077 fans, here is something for you today. A couple of new mods were released for CDPR’s title that can unlock new hidden locations. Additionally, some other mods have enhanced other areas in the game. Thus, I’ve decided to collect and share them in one article. So, let’s dive in. The first mod removes …
Beings that are like in their late 20s complaining that beings in their early 20s are too young for them is just Makes zero sense to me. This age stuff never made sense to me. Really reminds me of those meme Tinder profiles of beings being like "MUST be UNDER 180cm and have BLOND HAIR".
Like, what about not treating others as an object? Lol. Like sure, I have an age preference (it's on my fedi profile), same how I have a height preference. But it's just a preference. I only really care about what a being is like, not how they look like.
And sure, it's okay to have like, a boundary. But at what point does it stop being okay? Like, say, only liking girls. Sure. Only liking cis girls. Ookay, sure ig... Only liking white cis girls... Okay, now that's a red flag.
And there comes a point where you have to draw the line. Where do you draw the line? Personally, for me, having a hard boundary on age is a red flag. But apparently that's something that's uncommon. Ig that makes sense, given the systemic issues.
And so I wonder. How much of this is fine, and how much of this is part of ageism? Where does this stuff start and end?
(Also, I have zero authority to speak of anything racism, so best I can do is to use it as a rhetorical device, sorry.)
My neice's husband is tring to start something - he's an incredible coder and very creative.... but his efforts to date have not gone far (though they seemed pretty-good ideas).
I looked into your site ❤ (I think it's very good ;) apart of: the d* sign is missing ;D that will make your site really really super even when you might not find the imediate monetary success) oh hell man, I'm also getting nostalgic the older I grow... I enjoyed your texts really, nearly all of them! maybe you are the one ;) with the worlds development "western" resistance is born (you feel it too, in the usa, don't you?) it somehow seems to be also connected through the social netw. BUT next step would be... 2 orga the international connection effectively. immaterial possesion is around en masse, even when there is no budget ;D

Hiiii if you were at my LA event tonight and couldn't get a copy of Lessons in Magic and Disaster because of the warehouse snafu, North Figueroa will have a ton of copies soon! Also there are signed/doodled copies at Vromans and Skylight 💖
I find it finny how the little things that I keep doing that others give me shit for actually end up saving my ass in dealing with enshittification that I then hear them complain about and I just tell them well, glad I don't have to deal with that because I predicted this kinda thing happening way in advance!
@jilotta avoiding proprietary software Avoiding software with red flags Avoiding using commodities controlled by corporations where possible (phone numbers, debit cards...)
@jilotta to name a few more examples I refuse to use mobile apps for things that don't need to be apps. I refuse to use a banking app. I always carry cash around. I prefer payments in Monero over fiat transfers. I refuse to use stock Android distros. I refuse to yield to "convenience" that would lock me in a company's grasp.
I don't actually care about "software freedom" or w/e. I am a code cursewitch. I can make the code do what I want whether they want me to or not. It's just that proprietary software just breaks more. It's almost never tested. It is almost always a nightmare to debug. The devs are usually impossible to contact.
And oftentimes, the extra effort of having to use a payment processor simply just makes me use something else that's less effort.
I'm thinking i will soon need to get a burner phone for the android stuff im forced to use, eg whatsapp and tax office signin app, then have a linux phone for all the useful stuff actually wanted.
In Australia, almost everyone pays with credit or debit card. I try to use cash, and notice:
- shop owners are so grateful to be paid in cash
- shop employees are terrible at working out how much change to give, often count it wrong even when the register or tablet tells them the amount. Due to never getting any practice.
for some reason, the self-checkout system doesn't accept cash, so they need to have a cashier that does nothing most of the time (because everyone uses self-checkout)
some smaller shops just don't accept cash entirely
@brettm in Russia, the bank doesn't get a percent anyway (afaik),
the government is way more invasive so not paying tax is more difficult,
and most don't care about the big brother that much (so what if they spy on me? I've got nothing to hide! do *you* have something to hide from the government???? what are you, a fascist?)
so none of the points apply, and credit/debit cards win because of convenience
sberbank (the biggest bank in Russia) also has this thing where you can "pay with your face". the bank literally collects your biometric data and connects it to your bank account. not like they have all of your personal data and all sorts of ID anyway. not like its a huge security hole
😮 just like China! I think in Australia it will soon be illegal for banks to charge the buying customer a fee. So probably thebanks will charge the business instead. Hopefully that will mean more cash discounts 🙂
@jilotta this conscious awareness of exactly what I rely on and making explicit choices while knowing the tradeoffs is what makes sure that I don't end up locked in or exploited by some company. When Google and YouTube started enshittifying, I just got rid if my Google account and started watching YouTube less. I simply do not rely on any of their products.
Now, the enshittification of the Google search engine is a problem, and while it does not impact me too badly, since most of the software things I do I just figure out myself without looking them up since oftentimes it's easier and faster and less error-prone, and for other fields I usually have fedi & friends, but there are problems it is causing me. Just, to a lesser degree. What is concerning is that I did start using ChatGPT mostly as a search engine now, which annoys me. There are certain things that are much easier to delve into if I get a surface overview of things that are hard to find. This is an actual problem, and I know it will bite me in the ass if I don't figure out a proper solution soon. ChatGPT is a temporary solution and I expect it to stop being viable for this in the coming months or years. I have been working on an alternative search engine, but been lacking the spoons.
I don't use Google Maps, I use OpenStreetMap. My phone doesn't have any of the proprietary Google services or apps. The only proprietary stuff it has are the qcom etc driver blobs, and Discord.
Discord is another funsie. I am in the process of working on and migrating to probably XMPP or something else (maybe DeltaChat) if Discord rolls out something even worse than it already has. And Discord is not even the primary way to contact me, hasn't been the past 4 or so years. I even just entirely dipped for 2 years at one point. And I can pretty easily dip now, too. Most beings I care about I have other means of contact to.
So, it's about evaluating the benefit of staying as well as the cost of quitting a given service, and making sure that the cost remains as low as possible.
@jilotta eg. I predicted SimpleX Chat being an insecure Nazi psyop before they even made it obvious cuz of their reaction to a vuln me and a few others discovered independently

Redmond PD and Microsoft claim force was necessary because protestors became “aggressive” and their action “threatened” others. “I was standing 10 feet away the entire time,” TRNN’s Maximillian Alvarez says, “and I saw nothing of the sort.”
The world’s largest authority on food crises declared that Gaza City, the largest governorate in the Gaza Strip, is officially experiencing famine. If the international community doesn’t intervene, the famine will spread - fast.
I just made a few improvements to #GAGSProject! they’re really just small UI things to hopefully make it clearer how GAGS works - like how to find the blacklist textbox and what the tabs in the search results do
my next project is going to be much bigger though: currently GAGS will only fetch the first 100 results when you search for something, because it has to fetch all of the results right away and that’s really slow (this is before it does the gender filtering btw)
but, I think there might be a way for me to lazily fetch results as you click “next page” instead. I have two different ideas for how to do this and I’m going to see if I can make either of them work. if so, GAGS should theoretically be able to fetch as many results as you want and it shouldn’t even be any slower than its current behavior
