github.com/morluto/rea This is quite something... Reverse engineer even complicated software, and redeploy it for your own use. A whole new frontier of piracy and jailbreaking. Can imagine lots of good and evil uses here.

And for whatever reason, there's a decent Canadian contingent here but a very small BC one. The BC Election basically isn't happening on bluesky

It's going to be interesting if large companies start to sour on AI, now that it's being used to reverse engineer things like the entire Adobe suite and the PS5 console

1. Good thing Eby isn't running for governor then 2. Show me the income histogram for those cities and we will see where 190k sits

If you see yourself as progressive, you cannot claim poverty making $190k a year. It's just nonsensical. Ebys tax changes are very modest, and though it's taboo to say this, are necessary because of his populist cuts to the carbon and gas taxes

3) There remain people who are MUCH wealthier than you. There aren't actually a lot, but they are disproportionately impactful on all kinds of levels - including visible wealth signals, like yachts and such You don't get a yacht on $190k a year

Brett Favaro @brettfavaro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I think what distorts things is: 1) you can make 190k a year and, in the strictest definition, still be working class (i.e. your pay comes from labour not owning stuff) 2) being in the upper income brackets doesn't necessarily get you the nicest house. You get a house! Just not a mansion

Brett Favaro @brettfavaro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The BC NDPs tax proposals have kicked off a discourse about who counts as rich, which must come across as extremely tone deaf to people who are unambiguously not rich It is a simple fact that being paid 190k per yr statistically puts you among the highest income earners. You cannot argue otherwise

“Annihilating Iran”—which can only mean the widespread use of thermonuclear weapons against Iran’s nearly 100 million citizens—is, I’m afraid, the Chekov’s gun of Trump’s second term. He has spoken too often and too explicitly about unleashing such wanton destruction for it to be an idle threat.

I always thought that if a person sent an inanimate object to do harm, you would blame the sentient being, not say "tee hee whoopsie doopsie doo!" and have everyone go aw shucks But admittedly I am a simple guy

"tee hee our agents misbehaved! Oopsie doopsie!" That's a cyberattack. You cyberattacked us with your software.

Does anyone know what the deal is with Spookleys 4D Jamboree? The Vancouver Aquarium is playing it now, and everything about it felt like generative AI garbage. But it looks like it's a real show? Normally the 4D theater has cool stuff but this was shockingly bad

Is that the right way to fund a system? In my view, no! But there is no real political effort to change the fundamental funding structure. So that being the case, it is very important people understand what's happening here.
