Fun fact: there are more vacant houses in the US than there are homeless people. We literally have an empty, unused house for every single homeless person right now.

You can’t verify it because they didn’t provide any sources. Probably because any source on this would quickly show what a massive overreach these claims are.

Framework supports a bunch of open source initiatives, and some of those initiatives have figureheads that suck. Framework has basically stated that they are supporting open source as a whole and are staying neutral about the people running them. That’s a choice people may not agree with, I have fairly strong opinions on this myself… but there’s a huge gap between Framework’s actual statements and the author’s claims.

The “previews” are standard fare across most streaming apps and it drives me absolutely crazy.

Oh fuck off. Nobody is “astroturfing” AI hate.

Plenty of us hate AI for perfectly reasonable ethical, sociological, and accuracy reasons.

Just because some anti-ethical twats are doing something with AI impactfully doesn’t justify the use of disinformation on our side.

To be clear, the public is squarely with Pritzker: A new CBS surveyfinds that 58 percent of Americans oppose Trump’s National Guard deployments.

This number makes me feel a deep shame for my country. 58%? That’s all? That’s the cap on the number of people who see fascist military action happening in their own country and are shocked and disgusted?

What the fuck happened to us?

Holy hell that guy is the spitting image of my high school buddy Glenn (or at least what I think he’d look like a couple of decades later). I did a full double take.

Hey, come on, there’s no need to insult leeches.

ITT someone whines about perceived whining.

Fuck EA.

Well, at least they’ll finally go away after the hostile takeover. Shame about all the employees though.

I didn’t watch the video, that last part there is disgustingly on brand for him.

I’m a long time rails dev, and I gotta say seeing DHH as the face of this was enough to send me on my merry way.

Edit: ok, well also seeing mechahitler on the front page.

Neat.

Begging the question on all of these.

I never knew the number for my local pizza place, because I had a Rolodex and a phone book. If I needed to make a call I opened one of those two things. My modern phone contact book is just a better version of the same thing.

I use a gps to navigate routinely, because it gives me real time traffic alerts; after driving to any place a couple of times I can generally get there on my own, regardless of if I used GPS or a paper map to get there the first time.

I have never been able to remember birthdays. That’s why I have always, since I was a kid, had a calendar.

It is, in fact, definitely an opinion that we no longer need to remember anything because “tech”. Facts tend to be far less flexible.

I feel like you’re really grasping at wanting this to be true, but I gotta tell you I lived through all of these things being common and none of what you’re asserting matches my reality.

The number of things that I have to actually remember hasn’t really changed in the last 40 years.

Yeah it’s way worse than when we used a Rolodex to remember phone numbers, kept a map book in the dash, and took 20 minutes to transfer birthdays from last years calendar to this years.

I am about as anti-AI as one can get, but this is a bit silly.

The biggest band out of Bristol have told their record label to pull all their songs from music streaming app Spotify, in protest at its founder investing more than £500 million in a military AI company

The dlc is important to some, to each their own.

It is pretty shitty to fail to release something and then go radio silence about it with no real explanation, though. On top of the regional pricing issue too.

Too bad they botched the deluxe edition / season pass release.

Fuck them both.
