It's Summer. Students are on break, lots of people on vacation, etc. Let's wait to see if the trend persists before declaring another AI winter.

Sincere effort based on sincere beliefs, or cynical combination of fear-mongering and virtue signaling meant to secure the catbird seat for them in a highly regulated and closed source future?

To think that not so long ago, this authoritarian, grifting man-child was hailed as the real-life Tony Stark. If the mask slips any further, even his remaining fanboys are going to find it difficult to defend him.

If they aren't stopped, they will soon acquire bronze age technology.

If Battlefield Earth taught me anything, it's that anyone can just jump in a fighter jet and start flying it like a pro.

I look forward to his conviction on multiple felony charges.

Police ready to enforce laughing gas ban in the Netherlands (nltimes.nl)

The Public Prosecution Service (OM) and the police are "ready to enforce the laughing gas ban," the OM reported on Saturday. Since January 1 of this year, it has been illegal in the Netherlands to transport, sell, manufacture, or possess laughing gas for recreational use. However, enforcement of this ban has not yet occurred....

Hey you! Stop trying to feel good and get busy creating value for your corporate overlords.

For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

The only reason why we all used third party apps for Reddit, is because their app and website is abhorrent trash. It’s great to have a choice, but Lemmy’s website is smooth to use. I know it’s mind blowing not to use a app for everything in 2023 but Lemmy just works.

I could never log in to any of the Lemmy servers I tried using Firefox on mobile. All I'd get is an endlessly spinning circle. No error message or anything... just the online equivalent of the middle finger. Finally I installed Connect for Lemmy and now I'm at least able to log on to Lemmy World.

Kbin, conversely, has proven to be amazing on mobile Firefox.

How do people disconnect from work when they enjoy solving technical work problems?

I’m struggling to disconnect from work. I’ve been working on an interesting problem for the last couple of weeks (compacting change data capture events from sharded MySQL servers into BigQuery). It’s an interesting technical problem. There are lots of optimization opportunities and novel patterns I can introduce....

Put those technical chops to work building something you'll enjoy at home, like a bitchin' home theater system with media server. Set up a pi-hole for your home internet, roll your own VPN, etc. Maybe even expand into home improvement (lots of problem solving and creativity required).

“One of the things that I’ll call out is, it’s important for us not just to enable that, but to participate,” he said. “To make is easy for them, to make this where they can make it not just a hobby, but a career."

What they really want: a sanitized official mod store that dominates over the Nexus and Loverslab. I'm not sure how they're going to pull that off, but I fully expect them to try.

Going to have to say Kbin, considering that every attempt to log in to one of the big Lemmy servers just results in an endlessly spinning circle.

He was no Ronnie James Dio, but Graham Bonet was a formidable talent in his own right.

Screw sand castles. I'm building the real thing.
