Tell you what, being vocal about Health & Safety has been a very useful filter.

It's the same way being vocal about Codes of Conduct was 10 years ago.

Turns out, if somebody has an allergic reaction to proactive measures to keep a community healthy and safe, then they're probably not safe to have around in the first place.

If the idea of violent protests don't make you at least little scared I wonder how well you know history. At the same time, real change almost never happens without people putting their bodies on the line.

The right understands this far better than your average liberal/moderate. To be a moderate is to trust that existing systems will (mostly) work.

If those system fail? What then? To even consider this is moderate treason.

Wow - #LK99 not only successfully synthesized, but also showing larger levitation angle at room temperature than original paper, providing further support for the claims of room-temperature #superconductivity.

This is starting to get veeeery exciting!

“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”

This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

@micah the four kids on the right looks like they are really uncomfortable with whatever is happening.

@xarvos @solarmerps mesa does some special casing, assuming you are talking about graphics related things.

It’s probably a good idea to repost this incredibly prophetic cartoon from 2014 at regular intervals because every day I see people who still haven’t fully imbibed its message. Apologies if it’s old hat to you.

My daughter, who has had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this observation about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen:

@darley @HeavenlyPossum the concept of "work" adding value is inherently a way of imagining labour as a form of capital, regardless of who is the benefactor of that added value.

The "here whenever Twitter breaks" phenomenon is weird.

It's like a school friend who only wants to play with you when their bestie isn't about.

And they expect you to be excited.

And their bestie is a neo-Nazi.

@darley @HeavenlyPossum capitalism is absolutely what crate jobs, jobs only exist if you imagine labor as capital.

@directhex @mcc yeah, re-checked my sources, seems I was a bit mistaken. But the game bar does way more then it should, I kinda just imagine it as Interne explorer at this point (critical part of the operating system with terrible brand value).

@mcc @directhex yeah, every upcoming cpu I know of has some kind of core differential. This is the best source I found on quick notice (25 minutes in) youtu.be/9gCzXdLmjPY

@mcc @directhex on morden Intel cpus you have e-cores as well as p-cores, the game bar picks what process is placed on what kind of core. Without the game bar all processes share all cores.
