They went out the way they played all year, unable to hit, unable to catch, and leaving their starting pitching out to dry

I've unfollowed so many Buffalo media members on here recently because they're using shitty AI images for their content. It's not that hard to just add a text overlay to a video by yourself. AI overlays look like shit and are so low effort.

Using AI images in your substack or whatever makes me infinitely less likely to read. Find a non-AI stock photo or Creative Commons image or draw something in Microsoft paint

 Are Linux and Open Source Un-American?
Community
by Steve Coe
on February 21, 2001

Jim Allchin, Microsoft Windows operating system chief, was quoted in an article about open source last week. I advise any Linux user to go and read it if you haven't already, as it's great comedy material.

According to the hive mind of Microsoft, open source should be made illegal. There's no way around it, this is the bottom line. Want to write your own code and release it into the community? Congratulations, come with us Sir/Madam, we have this nice little grey room for you. Don't worry about the bars on the windows, they are there for our protection in case you somehow manage to write a graphics viewer or a Perl script to terrorize the world.

Ordinarily, a mere underling like Mr. Allchin wouldn't be taken too seriously, but Microsoft speaks with one voice, and we all know who he is channeling.

As a member of the Linux and Open Source communities, I am appalled and outraged by his comments and wish to respond. The article shows Microsoft is scared. Very scared. So, will they build a better product? Nah, to hell with it, they'll just get the government to outlaw the competition.

America.gov launched today--a DOGE initiative to use AI to deliver public services. Child lying facedown on a frozen lake as the image accompanying the question: "How can I invest in my child's future" is just incredible. Way to go AI
Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

While it would normally be exciting to see all these polls with good momentum and to see race projections moving blue, I can't help but feel it's all a mirage because what's actually happening is polling is functionally dead

This story has really annoyed me. These tech billionaires LARPing as aristocrats bestowing their noblesse oblige on the local peasants. Just think about how many sports clubs you could fund if you taxed Facebook properly.

there is no single field called "tech". there's normal tech, evil tech, and cult tech, and all tech companies exist somewhere within that triangle.

Of the 14 songs that broke the same record "Choosin' Texas" just broke, nine of them were this century and six were in the last decade. Is a hit song still a hit if it climbs to the top of streaming charts and gets algorithmically stuck there for sixth months?

I tried this Signal registration w/ no phone number option 1) it was easy 2) it requires $2.99 payment to reduce scams, you can pay w/ a Google Gift Card (that you can buy in cash) if you took every other precaution (fresh phone/google account/delete logs, wifi only) that's close to a real burner
