@AlSweigart @cabel The gambling industry? Actually that's fraud too.

@margaret are you ditching substack, or do you still love having your fans material support fascists because they pay you?

@peter But WHY? Why did they throw a cover over it? We know it's there. We know it fell down. We don't forget things existed once we can't see them anymore. It isn't alive. It's whole point is it isn't alive. So, why did they rush up there and throw, what, modesty covers on it? Which made it really difficult to carry.As you can tell, this video blew my mind. They rushed in like it was a code blue. We're doomed, and its anthropomorphization that will do us in, not the robots.

@gildilinie personally I use one on my router, one on my desktop and one in a vm plus tor if I am concerned about it.

@adamgreenfieldHow certain are you that it's slop?https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-cookware-got-worse-on-purposeNewell Brands bought Calphalon in 1998, promised nothing would change. It moved production to China, and closed the last American Calphalon plant outside Toledo at the end of 2023, 130 jobs.There are a couple of bits of nonstandard grammar here that I wouldn't expect an #LLM to emit. Of course, it's possible that Sapp did the opposite of what many people do: got an LLM to write the article and then manually edited it for voice to disguise its origin. But I've not seen an LLM being as consistently critical of big companies as I've seen on this site; presumably the big #AI companies don't want to get sued.@davidho @ckohtala

@agitatra @mekkaokereke not only in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela or Cuba, they were countries where the Spanish nobility went to sell and exploit African Slaves, which they hate and hated, they wanted a New Spain in the image and likeness but the Slaves were their only way to exploit those lands and at the same time they hated them because they were present on the streets, and in their daily lives.There is literature of Spanish nobility where he mentions this racist form of the time

Another famous case is the grimacing face (which I personally like a lot). Initially its design varied widely between platforms: It looked like a toothy (but happy) grin on some platforms, but like the pained grimace on others - so there was a lot of potential for misunderstanding. In such a case, the design is then usually adapted in a later version to get a better match with other platforms. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

@anderslund Nej, jeg bruger ikke maskinoversættelser. Men WPs formatering af Mastodon-opslag er ret wonky, så det kan se sådan ud.

@alice There are so many versions of this quote. Very true and prescient.“The ultimate moral test of any government is the way it treats three groups of its citizens. First, those in the dawn of life — our children. Second, those in the shadows of life — our needy, our sick, our handicapped. Third, those in the twilight of life — our elderly.” - Hubert Humphrey
