This looks really cool. I’m worried that people might call it a mixer, though.

  • During the US Presidential election: Yes

    Now? Not at all.

    IMO, they thought they were helping keep the narrative about Kamala positive (and before her, they censored criticism of a man so clearly demented and being shoved down people’s throats that it was laughable) but in reality they were just enraging their allies, making them into lifelong enemies. You can never come back from giving up your integrity and dignity to genocidal corporatist demagogues no matter how bad Trump is.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Those rules actually seemed pretty reasonable to me. Shitty, obvious uses of AI will obviously not win Oscars.

    Ahh the great hivemind pendulum where if something is hyped and has some notable cons, it’s time to throw it away completely and resist it without prejudice.

    This is happening with crypto too. To me, it just signals that a person is highly receptive to adopting whatever the hivemind tells them to think without question.

    Obviously crypto and AI have some properties that make them utterly horrible (especially in the hands of bad people). But they also have some properties that have the capability to revolutionize or accomplish certain things like no other technology can.

    No one seems to acknowledge this dichotomy when they’re unflinchingly under the influence of the hivemind. For example, I’m 100% positive that this comment will get downvoted heavily pretty sure I’d be ratioed for saying this on Mastodon.

  • Utterly backwards.

    This thinking actually leads to Elon Musk worship and the dehumanization (and eventual massacre) of poor people.

    This is what the most depraved sociopaths believe. They constantly repeat this lie to themselves to excuse themselves for utterly monstrous deeds.

  • You have to be trolling.

    You actually CAN tinker with atomic distros even more.

    Immutable distros offer penalty-free tinkering because of the aforementioned atomicity and rollbacks. If I screw something up, I can just rollback the entire OS or whichever parts I want.

  • Maybe he should try not making the most boring spy film I’ve ever seen. I’m not hard to impress either. I enjoyed “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” and tend to love the spy genre by default. So I was excited to see this but HIGHLY disappointed with it. It was boring at best.

  • Top admiral with a job waiting in the private sector worth untold millions says we need more warships to subjugate other countries and continue destroying the planet as quickly as possible under the guise of “defense” while 70,000 people a year die due to preventable illnesses.

    Calm Carving | The Making of a Wooden Pouring Vessel in Black Walnut - Precise Measure Technique - Samuel Alexander

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/27903191

    "I am back with another Calm Carving episode and this time, I carve a bulbous pouring vessel from some incredible black walnut. The walnut was sustainably storm felled from a local park, a few kilometres from there I live and is the perfect canvas for honing in on these techniques. This particular pouring vessel is the first 'final' from a design and concept period that I have been working towards and I am really happy with the shape. I made a few playful prototypes before getting to this final and I plucked elements that I liked from them to condense into this piece. I am looking forward to making more of these and producing a batch of them for a project that I will tell you more about in the future. The pieces will be 80ml, perfect for their intended use, but it means that I will have to make sure that each one is to size each time."

    A new model to explain dark matter based on observations of a distant galaxy that is far more evolved than it should be according to the standard model at such a distance.

    This makes me feel very insignificant. In very dense galaxies, imagine the evolutionary cycle of living beings with a quicker evolutionary timescale?

    EFF is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mark Klein, a bona fide hero who risked civil liability and criminal prosecution to help expose a massive spying program that violated the rights of millions of Americans. Mark didn’t set out to change the world. For 22 years, he was a telecommunications technician for AT&T, most of that in San Francisco. But he always had a strong sense of right and wrong and a commitment to privacy. Mark not only saw how it works, he had the documents to prove it. When the New York Times reported in late 2005 that the NSA was engaging in spying inside the U.S., Mark realized that he had witnessed how it was happening. He also realized that the President was not telling Americans the truth about the program. And, though newly retired, he knew that he had to do something. He showed up at EFF’s front door in early 2006 with a simple question: “Do you folks care about privacy?”  We did. A

    Restoration Rare Swedish Military Watch - Screw-making - Radioactive Radium - Lemania Tg195 - ASMR

    In this video I restore a Rare Swedish Military Watch from Lemania, a now-defunct Swiss watch manufacturer. This model was exclusively sold to the Swedish military during the 1950s, named "Tg 195" (which isn't truely known what it stands for) and it has a very special stop/reset and start function. While rare worldwide, it is slightly more common in Sweden due to its original distribution.

    Detailed restoration:

    I purchased this watch at an auction at a great discount since several parts were missing, preventing it from functioning properly. Additionally, I didn’t verify with the auction house whether the watch was working—I got caught up in the bidding frenzy! 😆 Tasks in This Project

    *Disassembly & Inspection The first step was to take the watch apart and inspect all the components. I needed to be careful as there was high radioactive radiation emitting from the watch dial and its hands. Something not shown in the video was an i
