You’d think the ’ships of the desert’ could cope with global warming. But no. Nearly half of Somalia’s camel-owning households have lost at least one to drought, research finds. In parts of the north of the country this rises to almost three-quarters. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sometimes I see something in nature and then spend the next several years waiting for the shot. Sometimes I never get it. Sometimes you see it and a week later you land it: I give you tonight's murder of crows in front of the sunset. 🪶

futute generations will look back on people in ice "uniform" the way previous generations looked back on photos of german national socialist trops; the only difference being the lack of faces for identification.

This is where I'm about to be a killjoy: The appropriate behaviour is to put your fucking phone down and haze that bear. I'm talking banging pots, calling it a bad bear (seriously, it works, I don't know why), and letting it know it is not welcomed. b/c this below is how you make a dead bear.

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

🧵 The web is disappearing 🕳️ From Pew: 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are ☠️ A new study in VANISHING CULTURE gives hope: 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine. 56% are preserved before they disappear. 📚 Read VANISHING CULTURE free from Internet Archive: archive.org/details/vani... ⬇️
Infographic titled “URLs Preserved in the Wayback Machine” based on a dataset of 5.4 million URLs. It shows 26% of web pages are dead and 74% are still alive. Of the total, 10% have vanished completely, 18% are endangered (not yet preserved), 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine, and 56% are preserved. The visual uses a flow-style diagram to show how preservation reduces permanent loss.
