Niestety, ale z anglojęzycznej adaptacji książki „PROPAGANDA” musiałem usunąć wiersz Wisławy Szymborskiej gdyż nie znalazłem jego tłumaczenia na język angielski. Trudno, sam nie czuję się ma siłach by przekładać poezję.

Who is your favorite celebrity in the fediverse? They don't need to have a large number of followers, or even a Mastodon account, but I'd like to hear about some famous (or semi-famous) folks who are actively participating in federated social media.

I had some leftover egg whites, so I decided to try making a homemade yolk-less mayonnaise for the first time.

I have never made homemade mayonnaise before. New skill get!

It came out a bit too lemony, but still tasty. I call this a success.

Anyway, behold: my First of Mayo!

@vitriolix well, I wouldn't. But I didn't have leftover egg yolks, I had leftover egg whites. So I used that.

Za 10 dni mam spotkanie pomaturalne. Minęło już 35 lat i z niektórymi ludźmi spotkam się po raz pierwszy od 1989 roku. Z jednym rozmawiałem przez Messenger i to było dziwne doświadczenie. Po pierwsze - ma zupełnie inny głos. Po drugie - strasznie nudził. Tak strasznie, że chciałem skończyć jak najszybciej. No i zacząłem się obawiać tego spotkania. No bo co będzie, jak wszyscy będą tacy nudni? Może w tym wieku tak już jest i nic nie można na to poradzić. A potem przyszła jeszcze bardziej przerażająca myśl. A co jeżeli ja też jestem takim nudziarzem? Może będę do nich pasował jak ulał... I tak chcę tam pójść i się przekonać. Najwyżej się uchlam i wtedy na pewno się będę dobrze bawił.

It's 2024. This is MSNBC asking you not to read A People's Guide to Capitalism https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/russia-trying-exploit-americas-divisions-war-gaza-rcna149759

> A favorite theme of Russian information operations is to paint America as a failing democratic state, according to U.S. officials and researchers

Does that make an agent of Russia for not believing in America the way I believe in people?

Then a source even admits that Russian propaganda has no impact on the direct political unrest. What is the point of these outlets if they only spread FUD?

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@jalcine it always baffled me that whenever there is something like this going on — say, Russia trying to exploit the divisions in the USA — inevitably the solution peddled is:

> stop examining the divisions and trying to understand the underlying causes!

instead of:

> we need to fix the underlying causes of these divisions, post-haste!

It's like if someone found a vulnerability in a piece of software, and the response is "don't you dare tell anyone!" rather than "shit we need to fix this!"

Torment Nexus is inevitable; if we didn't make it, someone else would.

It's good it was us, because we can deploy it least unethically.

It is of course unfortunate that it kills a person a day, but we estimate that within a million years it will have caused slight enjoyment for over9000³²² people.

The amount of pleasure is, clearly, incomparably higher in the long run than the amount of current suffering caused by it.

So we had a moral duty to create and profit from this here Torment Nexus!

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@molly0xfff static HTML websites.

Without infinite scroll, MiBs of JavaScript to render a single-page information website, the slowness, the badly reimplemented in JS scroll, the accessibility issues of all that, and the general jankyness.

With links working immediately, instead of a weird half-second delay because every link is now overloaded with fifty different event handlers that are not actually needed for any of the functionality.

And with the "Back" button working.

Yes, every news article about a company laying off staff should be paired with a note on the company's profits, right there in the headline.

Tech companies have realized that their AI models are trained on children and are enabling CSAM so they're going to try to iterate their way out of it regardless of the wreckage

@drahardja oh yeah, that's a good point. And they kinda sorta do, but currently as far as I understand on the input (prompt) side.

Of course running these kinds of filters on the output side would be way more expensive to the service, so that won't happen unless they are forced to.

But yeah, this is an interesting thought!

If #DNS is so great, why is there a .int, but not a .float, .char, or .double? 🤔

rysiek,

@mvilain dunno perhaps that's a bit stigmatizing? As if people deeply knowledgeable about technology or networking could not have social skills and be generally, you know, nice people? I have plenty of counter-examples in my social circles.

@th ah, that makes sense! That's the main bell I suppose? Biggest ship I sailed was a ~40m barquentine, it only had the bell near the helm station.
