lrp: Make Bigots Afraid Again. All of them. Racists, misogynists, anti-semites, islamophobes, homophobes, transphobes, etc. We probably can't entirely rid the world of them, but it would be great if saying such things aloud would end their careers and force them to go into hiding.

Sorry man we just can't keep on going like this. Can't have people speaking like this, especially people in positions of power. This can't just be fine now

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

...Yeaaaaah. And not a single one of them moved from the starting line once the game started. -_- I was hoping it was just a well-coordinated group of friends...

lol yes donny, that's how democracy works.

LRP: Well now I feel justified shutting that thing down every time it tried to install. -_- I just did a system-wide search to make sure, and searching for "nvidia app" took me to a ToS pop-up asking me if I wanted to agree and install. Nope. Searching for nvidia directly IN apps, no result :D

HEY GANG - DID YOU KNOW THAT NVIDIA JUST PUT ALL OUR GPUS INTO REMOTE ACCESS MODE FOR SLOP AGENTS TO CONNECT TO? NVIDIA APP > SETTINGS > FEATURES > ALLOW AGENT ACCESS > OFF TURN THAT SHIT OFF

....If nothing else, it's nice to wake up on a Monday and find that every single notification I got from our ticketing system is a ticket I handled having been closed automatically due to satisfactory resolution with the client asking for no further followup.

*looks at those numbers* Aaaand this is why exactly one person saw my entire face while indoors between the time I left my house for GWF and returned home (for like 5 minutes, they came by my hotel room where I had an air purifier going all weekend to drop something off).

PMC estimates that approximately 1 in 60 Americans are actively infectious with COVlD. Risk varies considerably by state and county. If you're not already doing so, you should use a computer to visit pmc19.com/map and get county-level estimates. THREAD (3/5)

Yes yes everyone is riffing on this but like... the entire premise. "an impossible task" to think of three special things about your child? "a hard problem"?

cool, cool

Oh right, that's why I hadn't done the Hildibrand quests on this alt. >:|

I guess I've gotten enough rest post-con because now that I'm not just collapsing from exhaustion multiple times a day, back to the regularly-scheduled "lying awake all night stressed and frustrated and self-loathing". (Actually that was 1st night of con too, en route I got a fic comment reminding

He has brought honor to the Great Protector. :D

Back to this tonight and lol. Having flashbacks to when I first got here, had zero warning, but a friend was online so I was msging him like "OMG LOLOLOL I JUST GOT TO THIS *HILARIOUS* BIT" and he was all "Ah, yes, that part..." and said nothing except that there was an solo duty coming up...

definitely not 7 rabbits in a trenchcoat@pantswarrior.bsky.social · 4d ago

Not directly related.... ...I don't know if I have the spoons for this tonight. -_- Rather less pain today from eating/drinking, but still so drained and dehydrated it's hard to focus, and uh. Kinda gotta focus for that one. XD

Surely this couldn't have been developed or financed by some rich man-baby who's still mad he can't have apartheid

just saw this absolutely cracked ad during the michigan game about how thanks to aoc and ilhan omar, white people can't show their faces in public anymore

Why does everyone want you to vote early? And what makes it different from voting on election day? We break it down for you ⬇️

The stickers are amazing this year, they let me have two since I was having trouble deciding between space bunny and frog princess, but there were at least two others i would have gladly chosen if not for these two. XD

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

My honest assumption would be "Why do disabled/chronically ill people ask for food/gas/rent to be affordable? Those things shouldn't be important to them."

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 4d ago

I’m not sure I understand what he’s going for here.

Needs no comment really

Okay seriously what the heck. I just got an email that was CC'd to a bunch of people, all of whom are deans, department heads, or the org president. Except me. I thought it was because they wanted me to post the news on the website. It was not. I just... somehow ended up on this list of VIPs...

....Who's been reading my work emails

1Password launches a way for AI agents to log in on your behalf without seeing your password

I had intended to make a "nameless but actual canon NPC" alt awhile back, but the description/"name" that amused me so much was too long: "Conniving Ne'er-do-well". This guy is a contender though. Definitely not too long, and I could main DRG and PCT. XD

...Hmm. As per previous discussion about possible inconsistency in the pronunciation of his name... for what it's worth, I'm playing through EW on one of my alts and watching the cutscenes since it's been awhile, and he introduces himself as "YOO-lus". Will watch for what the others call him...

*eyes that new FF14 announcement* Apparently by "new login" they mean logging into the game itself with your player account. I was already logged in but sitting at the character selection screen for the last couple hours, and .. well, there's no queue, hahah.

Being in the GWF discord is damaging me and between that and other stuff I want to deactivate everything I've ever posted on the internet but I would feel bad deactivating a bunch of my accounts when people I just friended might think I unfriended them instead of just wanting MYSELF to not exist.

because it is relevant to my work, I have tried very hard to educate myself on how AI works, be fair and measured in how I evaluate it, and regularly test new tools to confirm or debunk my priors and tbh AI haters are just nailing it with less work like 99% of the time. keep at it folks

Gretchen Leigh 🇨🇦@gretchenleigh.zone · 7d ago

I've come to the conclusion it's fine to just be blanket anti-AI right now. We can have the nuanced discussions about local models, limited usage, etc. later. It's simply not possible to have those discussions right now. The current emergency is AI as fascist movement. We need to fight that.

Have been in so much pain since yesterday, breathing in gasps because of it. Normal kind of pain, but after a few days without... :/ Of course it's because now that the con is over, I had to start eating/drinking again. Not doing so meant I had no strength, but I wasn't dealing with actual PAIN. :/

Funny to see this because earlier I saw that trending topic about "AI demand" raising tech hardware prices, and that's hardly accurate phrasing because the only people "demanding" AI are the tech bros who are making it and trying to push it on/sell it to the rest of us who don't want it.
