If it makes you feel any better –even "Schadenfreude" is allowed this time round I guess– this is a great time to go around yelling: "Hate to tell you told you so!" #whatcouldpossiblygowrong

Lead moveable type for printing used to be stored in large wooden drawers in cases. Capital letters (or majuscules) were stored in the UPPER CASE. Miniscules were stored in the LOWER CASE.

This is from a publisher's review backend, but this should be just.. you know.. generally available, for life. Just wondering where the feedback would go in that case. Somewhere between dev/null and higher deities, I suppose?

A widget titled "How was your experience today?" to pick a mood from awful, bad, OK, good, to great. Below that a button with "Send feedback".

Century+ duration electronic data preservation is in fact an unsolved problem, but magnetic tapes set read-only are as close as we have right now. This is a massive, active research problem at Amazon, Google, Microsoft, others. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear... Some tape can be replaced, not all.

Journalists should be insistently pointing out that tariffs are controlled by Congress, and they can revoke the President’s authority over them—and lots of other things!—the moment they grow a spine. The abject gutlessness of Republican legislators is the real story here.

There is hope: anti-vaxxers only need 5 years to finally catch up with 140 years of science and research. How hopeful for the world is that?!

This just pisses me off. I know that kind of posturing, that tone. It's deeply reminiscent of some ass-clown adults from my childhood, and other ass-clown employers I've had. Trump and Vance are gonna burn bridges. They're gonna ruin our international alliances. They are repugnant people.

Trump is now an aide in Russia’s regime change plan for Ukraine. Europeans need to act NOW, not after the German elections, to make sure Ukrainians have an alternative. All the worst came true and there is no other way to put it than that the US is in Russia’s team now.

Fascist dekt niet langer de lading. Als Europees extreemrechts denkt dat MAGA Amerika wél een bondgenoot zal zijn als wij ook veranderen in fascistische, zwakke en verdeelde autocratieën, is men volstrekt naïef. Maar vooral een stel landverraders.

I guess I would feel better about Google's new willingness to use AI for weapons and surveillance if I thought the country leading in AI development actually *was* a democracy guided by core values like equality and respect for human rights. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“There’s a global competition taking place for AI leadership within an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. We believe democracies should lead in AI development, guided by core values like freedom, equality, and respect for human rights,” Hassabis and Manyika wrote. “And we believe that companies, governments, and organizations sharing these values should work together to create AI that protects people, promotes global growth, and supports national security.”
