Oops, pretending to take the moral high ground is out the window as soon as MIC dollars are at risk.

While I’d prefer better off-by-default and making AI opt-in, this is the next best option. Good job Mozilla.

Solar panels and stored battery power seem perfectly suited for remote Indigenous communities, without need for continuously running a generator or making a long-distance connection to a grid.

Every part of this “Board of Peace” plan is designed to funnel money to Trump connected entities. Perhaps next meeting they’ll discuss opening Trump’s 7th casino attempt in the Gaza strip.

maybe these aren’t lists of what DHS calls “domestic terrorists” but DHS is making a lot of lists. They allege to have found the leader of Antifa too, lol.

Right? I think this is the answer to why people don’t get invested in a game like this. The publisher asks customers for money upfront, then continues to ask through in game purchases, forcing a connection to them whenever you use it all the while holding a button that can cut off access to everything you paid them for. The rational response is to refuse this skewed bargain, and play something better.

In January they were short on medicine, I donated some through a local effort. Fuel is the main thing Cuba needs, but not the only thing, every little bit helps I’d think. The Cuba flotilla doesn’t have fuel onboard, that doesn’t mean they are going along with US sanctions.

It should stabilize soon I expect… flights are returning slowly but people will and should be vigilant for the next week.

Kinda neat about the human responses… sure some are trolling but maybe we have to test our global expectations. In North America, a car wash tends to be this garage thing with either automated cleaning or a set of supplies to clean your car, and your car has to be in the shed to be cleaned effectively. But if washing your car by hand is the norm, I wonder if people in some countries surmise that the cleaning staff could just walk over with the sponges, buckets and hoses and stuff to the car, if you’re already 50 metres away from the washing point.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooo.

Canadian law holds strong… we’re sending a clear message: unless you’re a fossil fuel or mining company, we won’t accept corporate peekaboo as a reason to stop prosecution.

The same guy posted an AI depiction of himself dumping shit on Americans, so I wouldn’t take too much stock on the meaning of this dementia patient’s hallucinations.

I’d say it’s to help replace unhealthy addictions with a platform that’s smaller and less easy to fall into infinite scroll rabbit holes. Like nic-patches to stop smoking.

All Trump was waiting for was the stock markets in New York to close for the week.

Are we going to war with Iran today?

Steve Burke (of GN) described the absurdity pretty well, within the context of the currently uncertain Nvidia and OpenAI deal:

Nvidia offered OpenAI $100B in investment, money that it didn’t have, as long as OpenAI gave that money back to Nvidia to lease GPUs that haven’t been made, to then put in data centres that haven’t been constructed, which will be powered by electricity that hasn’t come online, to then rent to users who haven’t subscribed, to provide them features that haven’t come to fruition.

It warms me up a little to see at least a plurality of Canadian Conservatives recognize the harms Trump is doing to Canada, the USA and the world. It confirms that most don’t have their heads stuck in the sand or are a stooge like Jivani.

Might make some mods that support multiple versions stop at 1.20.1 but any new ones will be fine on the new ones, various API, helper mods, and surely some OpenGL->Vulkan translation ones will come in as needed.

As the article points out, this is the same Matt Jeneroux that said he was going to resign last fall. Is he takeback-ing it before committing to an official end date, cancelling the by-election? From the November article:

Jeneroux later clarified that his “exact date of departure will be determined at a later day,” but suggested it would be “this spring.”
