We did it: The EU Parliament continues to OPPOSE #ChatControl 2.0! 🥳 Thanks everyone for writing to representatives. 🫶 The next trilogue is scheduled for November, we must make sure that end-to-end encryption and private communication remains to be protected! #privacy

I'm sure there is a group of people whose tastes are shallow enough to be satisfied by AI music or art. Not everyone cares about the human element; they just want to be entertained by novelty. Its all just dopamine hits in the end.

Twitch and this place are literally the last internet social media sites I use, the last places that have any authenticity or humanity to me. And they are going to fucking ruin it. There really is no point in being a part of society anymore if everything is sanitized for advertisers' protection.

You are assuming he actually cares abut his family. These people lack the empathy for that. Kennedy would only care to the extent that it harms his career.

These RW morons don't know or don't care that the primary substantive issue of this ruling is to cripple Title IX protections against sexual assault and harassment...on the same day new Cornell allegations are being made public. The endless blabbering about protecting women is BS.

I wouldn't call it a success. Both the booster and orbital vehicle suffered engine failures. They initially scrubbed orbital insertion entirely but eventually changed their minds.

🚨🇪🇺 The #ChatControl trilogue starts on Tuesday & the EU Council is trying to pressure Parliament into giving up its opposition. We must stop them once again! 💪🏼 Because no matter the framing, the truth remains the same: There's no backdoor for the good guys only! ➡️ fightchatcontrol.eu

What the stats may bear that out (which I doubt), there is a huge problem with the waymos: there is no emergency stop button. At least a human driver wants to live and will try to stop no matter what.

VPNs make it safer to use the Internet. Governments are trying to ban them. With the continued global rise of social media bans and “age verification” bills, threats against VPNs have only escalated. Read the letter & take action @ DefendVPNS.com for our 2nd annual Defend VPNs Day of Action!

Not the same job, as the rewards have changed. I can't imagine feeling the same sense of accomplishment in reviewing/testing as I do in creating. It just becomes work without joy. I'm glad I'm retired, as I don't think I would like what software engineering will eventually turn into.

Yes. please give up your rights because it is too hard to fight for them. Discord chose this when very few countries actually mandate it. They complied in advance. Fuck them.

TBF, many games I see streamers play are best described as interactive movies with gameplay elements. This fits very well with the streaming format.

Hey, pssst! Many of your favorite shows are never released on Blu-Ray at all. And almost every Blu-Ray I've ever purchased has been full of preroll ads, sometimes unskippable. I love my physical collection, but it is not a substitute anymore unless you only love older movies and shows.

I think if you have a outside military invading your state, you are well past the point where laws matter. Unless this law authorizes your military to use physical force to repel such invasion, this law is nothing but meaningless posturing.

Your PC probably sat idle much of the time. I ran a PC with near constant compute heavy workloads for years (video encoding, simulations, etc) and it did heat up the room a little bit.

This is a gross simplification: What consumes power is transistors flipping on and off. It is that actual transition that consumes power; in the steady state they don't. In other words, it is actual calculations performed that generate the heat, and AI is insanely heavy with that.

In a nuclear war, the only way to possibly "win" is to strike first with everything you've got, because you won't have a chance for a second strike. And things move very fast. If Russia uses tactical nukes, you have minutes to decide if that is it or just the beginning of a larger attack. Minutes

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Either we win against online censorship bills & VPN bans, or we lose our right to anonymity online.

The Kennedy Center is a place for rich people to socialize and watch entertainment. That is the view most people have of it, knowing it mainly from TV specials. And that is largely my view as well. I don't care about it getting torn down, but I do care about Trump defying court orders to do it.

Correction: Kraft is donating $2m to "aid in the region". Israel is in the region. And what is this bullshit about buying your way out of this? A donation doesn't change what you believe or what you fight for. You're still a Zionist; you're still a coward.

Deaths of both Palestinians and Jews are bad. But only one side is committing a genocide. Also, I don't understand the argument. If Ms. Rachel is wrong to highlight the death of Gaza children, then you are equally wrong to highlight this family's death.
