Online shopping was supposed to be a bargain between shoppers and retailers where shoppers would look the other way while retailers fucked their workers, and in exchange the shoppers would receive greater convenience and a less expensive and tedious shopping experience.

How’s that going now? https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/its-getting-harder-to-return-thingsand-its-making-shoppers-mad-38b2fc55

The workers already got fucked, and now it’s time for the shoppers to be put to the grindstone to bleed for corporate (mostly private equity) gains. Even the WSJ is covering this.

@chrisstoecker An idea: A "simple" way to curb AI development could be to limit energy consumption for AI companies and their data centers. This could probably be ordered quite easily by the governements.

@accessnow wins for “Fostering Change in Human Rights and Technology.” For years, they’ve worked hard to be the team companies and lawmakers can't ignore when tech policy and human rights collide. https://www.accessnow.org/ (2/6)

That "oh so powerful AGI everyone is developing that could kill us all" works on electricity. Just cut its power supply.

(Yes, another "I resigned from Anthropic today" is scaremongering on the hellsite.)

If you really love CSS and want to get involved with an open source operating system—and more specifically app framework—that doesn’t use AI and really pisses off white supremacist homophobes, I would love your help!

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like node.js effectively ended up merging the vibe-coding vfs implementation that caused all the drama a few months ago? Just in a different set of pull requests that were still 14k lines long?

Red or blue, states across the country have adopted anti-SLAPP laws because they recognize that free speech deserves strong protection. North Dakota should too.

An anti-SLAPP law would keep North Dakota from becoming a magnet for frivolous lawsuits aimed at silencing speech.

So this means they're going to release the Palestine Action protesters, right? Right?!?

"Britain’s package of measures was announced on Tuesday in Parliament by Ed Miliband, who became foreign secretary in July. It represents the clearest shift in British foreign policy since Andy Burnham became prime minister that month.

“Today marks the beginning of a new approach,” Mr. Miliband told lawmakers. He said that the British government “agrees that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank — perpetrated by settler terrorists.” All too often, he added, “the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this and worse.” "

Imagine the shit people may think of something if "without it" is the bst possible marketing move.

Whoa. @libreoffice unleashes “no AI as a feature” and breaks download records.

“In one week, the installer was downloaded more than 1 million times — not counting updates via Linux distribution repositories.”

Great work, LibreOffice team! 👏🏻
