Only if you’re using the Chrome extension, maybe. This is just Google trying to kill even the memory of Google Reader by fucking with the biggest competitor to social media in Chrome.

Exactly as predicted back in late 2014 when it became obvious that the party was going to throw an entire election just to keep Sanders from winning the primary.

They’d shit the bed, Trump would win 2016, backlash to Trump would carry a nothingburger Dem to win 2020, their fecklessness would turn off enough folks to give away 2024 for Trump’s second term, and now we’ve reached the time of monsters where the future depends on whether the kind of folks who go to No Kings protests can be organized into a general strike.

Gotta spend it somewhere. Charge some batteries or else dump it into a load cell.

I got hired as a Linux Technical Analyst by a company that was re-writing all their old mainframe code for modern servers, three weeks later they told me they were moving me to Site Reliability Engineering.

I do not have the attention span for reliability engineering. They fired me six months ago for not being good at a job my ADHD makes it impossible for me to be good at.

Faraday cage, but it’s just a dog crate wrapped in aluminum foil.

As usual, shot placement is key. I imagine the navigation sensors are fragile enough that a small air rifle could do enough damage to disable them, but a .22 would definitely do it and maybe even be enough to lock up a knee or shoulder joint.

The hill country, of course. Long sightlines, rough terrain, low population, high ratio of guns to people.

Only secondhand, via reporting by the observers monitoring right-wing spaces.

It does suck when one’s formerly favorite author (Warren Ellis) gets outed as a sexual predator, or when the same happens to an actor (Cas Anvar) on your former favorite show, but there are plenty of other fish in the sea and I’m never going to run out of ethical creators to patronize.

I haven’t had a job that should exist since I was a tutor in college. Every position since then was either a fake busywork job, or tech support for people in fake busywork jobs. =/

Nah, if Youtube blocks adblockers then I’ll just waste my time elsewhere.

I’d love this.

Oh hey, that’s almost exactly the kind of cyberpunk dystopia that I grew up reading fiction about:

I mean, the Flipper Zero is just a computer with a few radios built-in.

I think the only one they share with most smart glasses is Bluetooth which might potentially have some vulnerabilities which could be exploited, but there are also expansion cards for the Flipper Zero that add everything from wifi and ethernet ports to high-powered IR blasters, so the real question is how vulnerable smart glasses are.

And the truth is, they’re vulnerable by default because they rely on corpo servers to operate like any other “smart” device. Any flaw in the security of the glasses themselves barely holds a candle to the fact that they forward everything to Facebook or some other big tech brand name with a financial interest in monetizing your data.

“AI Employee” is some seriously dystopian bullshit.

Save everything you want to keep

And not just the resources, those orbits are going to be cluttered with slowly-deorbiting junk too. Until we get around to making something that can clean them up, we won’t be able to put anything else there.

Oh yeah, the name is both descriptive and wildly scifi. XD

They’re a real thing, crystaline structures with an oscillating temporal component.

It’s the biggest bubble in history because corporate leadership consistently falls for the reification fallacy.

So-called “AI” (specifically, large language models) are massively-multidimensional maps of human language use. They can be used to draw humanlike vectors through the phase space of all possible combinations of symbols, but they aren’t intelligent because human intelligence doesn’t come from the use of language. Rather, language comes from intelligence.
