"[T]he [State Department's absurdly inaccurate] map bears an AI watermark that signals that it was made with OpenAI. That would explain why the map's labels and borders are so wrong, and some of the strange formatting choices, but not why the State Department ... present[ed] it on a global stage."

Truthout@truthout.org · 6d ago

The State Department is taking strides to remake the world order — but can’t even get basic geography right at a global conference.

The extra maddening bit about the Bluesky app on an iPad, is that after you deal with everything looking like this all the time (because I have a keyboard and mostly use it in portrait view), you click a news article, and YEP, it’s stuck in this little rectangle too, as if it were a fucking phone!!

Aww yeah! Fucked that shit up! Used the saw to get the sides of the lip, the utility knife to score the inner corner and then broke it off. Needed more clearance so I carefully got a line going across, scored it good and it broke right off. No filing but that tool shaved off the last needed bits!

Rev. Deral "FreeLink" Fenderson@fendersonia.bsky.social · 2d ago

Maybe an eighth to a quarter inch needs to be shaved away? Awesome that it has a slight lip on this thing too. Just a little MORE plastic to remove. I guess it’s mine now? Or have that buzz/hum hybrid going on that made me want to unplug the other one. 🤷‍♂️🤪

I was mistaken, it’s “Silenstream” which is a fucking lie for the one I got at least

Sadly, no pleasant gurgle videos quite yet, as I’m fiercely fighting “yeah, no, that impeller is not going to make that much fucking noise in *this* apartment” There’s no “whisper” language on the box, but this isn’t anywhere near what I remember as far as acceptable! 😂 Gonna let it go for a bit.

Am I going to ridiculous lengths?? Ok, lemme back up. I put the other nicer power filter I bought in the tank and it’s SO MUCH quieter, but then because it could not NOT be a comedy of errors around here, the hood no longer fits because the spot left for *the set’s guy* basically fits perfectly!!

The black sandy bio muddy muck went in first and I spread it evenly across the bottom. On top of this was a layer of purple gravel followed by a layer of green gravel (5 lbs each) which is only beginning its mixing decisions. Next to get some treated water in here.

what are the Six Genders? wrong answers only

If we'd only had those cameras up we'd for sure caught those pesky reflecting pool vandals!

There's ten pounds of dry sand in there that has been deluged with water and drained so now it is an unweighed amount of wet sand that will remain so as it would be a useless process About to weigh out some wacky bio sand into it that comes with microscopic stuff in it to make tank start good. 😂

Well into it and past this point, already weighing different bits of “powders” in grams on a scale and shit (black sand… silica?)

Phase one has begun!

So yeah… haven’t felt it in a LONG while, but I think I’m giddy with that “kid in a candy store” feeling that gets mentioned a lot, and I think it’s true Like the anticipation of this stuff got me to do some cleaning that I’ve put off for so long and now that it all is IN MY FACE I’m full of joy

Well lemme tells ya, when I got silly ideas in my head about what to do with another Kallax unit or two, I'm glad I opted to just pull the trigger while the sale I had saved a little money with was still going. Not only did they take that $7 off back, they went and raised the price by five bucks!

NGL, when dude straight up said that he disliked AI but used the free model and did all the waiting in order to have an LLM write Android code to allow him to not give some corporation money to get a used machine running, never have this thing call home again, and oh yeah, multiple languages??

I need to send a tip to the nice woman at the local Petsmart who has now cancelled out two orders for me. So they were swamped yesterday, and my order did not get picked and delivered. And then I saw the *new* sale stuff. Mainly a 20% off online code. 😂

I came within inches of starting back in that game with a 40 gallon tank because HALF OFF but came to my senses this morning and upped the ante by 9 gallons—got a 29 to start and a 20 long that is eventually going to be plant heavy in the front big window with panoramic views for the catzens

Can't wait to see one of those autonomous delivery robots so I can kick the little fucker over

The S in KOSA is for surveillance

Anthony Moser@anthonymoser.com · 4d ago

By all means. I would add that we know it's a surveillance bill bc it's supported by surveillance companies. OpenAI makes software that encourages kids to harm themselves, X runs a CSAM generator. They are not motivated by kids safety, they just want more data on everyone

The window itself is north facing (well, 30 degrees east of north) so this apartment has never been incredibly sunny, which has actually helped keep it cool in the summer (doesn’t hurt that my floor is half underground) But I’ve wanted plants again. Used to have so many. Inherited green thumb.

I’ve triangulated and conglomerated with myself over coming to a blueprinted plan detailing perimeters of a deal with myself about nearing the end of the quick considerations of dispersal of the game changing surprise pre-death generated war chest lobbed my way. Many boxes checked. Fish/plants soon!

Welp! The iPad has become temporary de facto Bluesky machine around here. iPhone 11 Pro Max with two lines running down the screen had a good run. Just dropped it again and some new lines and a white bar have joined the crowd! 🤷‍♂️🤣 Time to hit Injured Gadgets and figure out what to get.

Wanna know why I'm so addicted to Mystery Wrestling? It's because it's full of silly weirdness and mayhem, and then out of nowhere, you get something like this.
