There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say that there isn't. Why don't you come on back to the war? That's right, get in it

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

The French Police are fighting the Firefighters now, who have joined in the protests. These thugs need to be careful they are outnumbered 50 to 1 and if the people actually fight back they are... Baisés As the French call it.

People keep thinking they can automate the type of admin work often done by women... bc they think their institution is a machine and not a brain. They think it can be recreated as a set of tasks executed w/ rules, and that we can skip the parts relying on relationships, memory, and judgment.

1/ 1318 meetings with fossil fuel lobbyists in Mark Carney’s first year in office. Another summer of Canada burning. It’s clear whose interest this pipeline is actually in, and it sure isn’t Canadians'.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney stand in front of workers in hard hats, smiling. News headline text: Carney designates West Coast pipeline as national interest project. 'National' struck out and replaced with corporate.

Some of you have been asking whether or not Vivaldi is affected by Chrome’s #AI API, which some websites are using for tracking purposes. The answer is straight-forward: no. ✌️ We disable all the Gemini-related code bundled in Chromium, effectively preventing websites from using this API in Vivaldi.

Agree, especially with your 2nd point about subsidies. BUT, the capital going into this buildout was mostly accumulated by the tech industry since recovering from the original dot-com crash. For years FAANG amassed war chests, and they finally found a place to deploy it. It would never be housing.

I completely agree. And the other side of the coin is how every FOSS project is being inundated with vibe-coded PRs and struggling to keep up. Especially where there are multiple maintainers or community collections like NPM, etc. I worry that the bazaar may not be able tp withstand the deluge.
