how the fuck do i make the notifications stop? i got 2 notis even with my settings like this. I intentionally have notifications turned off on *everything* that isn't immediately important and still im getting these fucking things.

Not condoning the idea, but this seems incredibly short-sighted on the part of Elo/SRC given how cheap/easy it would be to vibe code a website, host it on a 15yo Optiplex and point a $10/yr domain at it. Pissed off web devs volunteering to assist with sites for their communities notwithstanding.

SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

@edzitron.com im trying to put together sources and info to fight some Cloverleaf shit here in Madison. Is there a better way to search your newsletters than just clicking on each of them and ctrl+F? The gist is Public Service Commission sets the rates that utilities are allowed to charge.

Fidelity’s Director of Global Macro saying that the AI trade has been “dead money” for three months, and that it’s inflationary, meaning (as I’ve discussed multiple times) that the more debt they raise the more expensive debt becomes and the more they build data centers the more expensive it gets

sent as private, probably because they don't want it anymore public than it is already, but this will be the best $37 anyone ever sends me, fuck you larry

Worth noting Hunter S. Thompson wrote, arguably, the best piece of traditional journalism in his entire career about Salazar's assassination. 'Rumblings in Aztlan' is still important reading. scribd.com/document/422925808/1297809321-Strange-Rumblings-in-Aztlan-small-pdf share.google/vm05Tb8Khzuk...

Rubén Salazar was renowned for his hard-hitting journalism about the Mexican-American community. While reporting on 1970’s National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War, he was killed when a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy launched a tear gas projectile into the crowd and struck him in the head.

Please read this. I know I post a lot of shit but really really really you should understand what's going on with the discourse on this right now and how essentially ALL tech media has failed to do its duty, taking press releases at face value instead of critically.

Free newsletter: The idea that we're nearing the creation of AI systems that we can't control and that pose an existential threat to humanity is a lie and a distraction from the tangible harms and problems caused by LLMs and AI labs' near-unlimited resources. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-alread...

This week, PlayStation announced that it had pulled out of publishing Hideo Kojima's next game, Physint. But the company didn't give a reason. So I made some calls. Here's why PlayStation bailed and why Xbox snapped Kojima right up: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

BREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain. @sbworkersunited.org has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.

I was so excited to get it without save states that I completely forgot to finish doing the star to get an xcam time

The Expanse. It's bold to claim that it exceeds the books but it's really something special (especially the audiobooks, Jefferson Mays is utterly incredible and genuinely influenced the show's casting imo) and if you watch it, at the end of season 3 realize SyFy cancelled it on that cliffhanger.

Luke Diaz@lukediaz.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The Witcher video games (2 and 3 at least). The books are good, just thought the video games really expanded on them.
