Exactly - parents are NOT the only influence. And kids will work harder to get access to things they're not supposed to. Especially here in the red states, if ppl start to believe the propaganda that it's somehow ISIS tactics are now patriotic. Some WILL get access to it. So we have to prep them

It'll be a good test of how easy it is here to slide by on just hating the D's. Strangely, I do not see any of the big signs locally for Paxton. And they LOVE their signs around here. The lawn signs just say "vote RED".

Well - there are thousands of churches around here. And many are large and empty 6 days of the week. I understand why you'all want to make Osteen out to be the worst offender, but I was trying to highlight someone that did real good, with zero expectations of going beyond "furniture guy".

It works well if you run the Jellyfin on something with more power (for transcoding), and then run something like libreELEC on the Pi and use Add-on. The Jellyfin (on Proxmox) works great, but I didn't like libreELEC layot, so I'm building a KDE Plasma Bigscreen to see if it's better... We'll see.

All the work we've done in software engineering to hone the process of development - we could still apply that in the age of LLMs and increase the quality. Instead we get "faster at all costs!" from the top and throw quality out the window. I've seen some bad sh*t people shove through with AI

I think this is the biggest threat!!!! We are so used to being manipulated by "marketing" we let it all slide for the sake of a $$$. But what really should be illegal is any tool that presents itself as human or human-like. It's MATH with some really big compute behind it.

I remember when even saying "gay" was taboo, but as we've learned more acceptance, we try to learn how people want to be called. I think it's a process that requires a lot of grace. But that shouldn't overshadow the danger that that group of people are facing. Turkiye could be Paxton in Texas...

You know that, and they know that - which means it's the usual projection. So who is their target this time and why is it a Democrat?

Baima Li @laimab.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Every time they try to anthropomorphize the tool, they give people more confidence in allowing non-determinisitic math to be "more correct" than humans. It's designed to overpromise so we rely on it more. Eventually it might kill us all - but that would be because we let it.

When Gloria Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, the honorific “Ms.” was virtually unheard of. Unmarried women were referred to as “Miss [father’s last name]” and married women as “Mrs. [husband’s last name].” “Ms.” was an assertion of individual identity. Women who used it were widely mocked.

Every time that same portion of the press decries "cancel culture" they claim that it's out of concern for the targets, "what if they're driven over the edge by the cancelation," etc. I'm sure they'll find some excuse to speak differently about this.

Also need to note that one publisher who doesn't want to read Cooper doesn't require us to suck up all the water / land / noise to get him through it. We could stop most of these build outs until we actually have the "need", and stop the techbro marketing-induced desolation frontloading.

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

This is what I think as well. The disability community, like all communities targeted by majority, is not of one mind. Even those with lived experience don't all believe that P2025 is a real problem. By taking the spot, tho, she is beholden to the powers of The Party - no matter what she thinks.

The idea that adopting AI means doing layoffs is a sales pitch to justify replacing your payroll budget with an AI token budget. AI can perform certain tasks faster & cheaper than people but that doesn’t mean it can do entire jobs better than them. Smart companies are figuring out this difference.

I remember vaguely older people complaining, but never knew what the real changes of Vatican II were. I just remember our priest wouldn't let us kids sing in the folk group during Mass... Catholic church is inherently conservative - I can't imagine how rough "we need more tradition" is.
