Trump Says Arch Must Be Built Because We Need Somewhere To Store Our Precious ‘Sniper Ammo’ - https://www.techdirt.com/2026/09/21/trump-says-arch-must-be-built-because-we-need-somewhere-to-store-our-precious-sniper-ammo/ "Satire is dead. But it’s been dead since the first Trump administration, back when people were “owning the libs” with a combination of horse dewormers and willfully contracting COVID."

@whvholst @suzi_1960 @altbot it also has been trained by stealing knowledge and curated by exploited people.

It's a thousandfold better writing our alt text by ourselves.

AI generated image of a herd of sheep in front of a glass door, in what seems to be great britain.

The sheep on the front has five feet.

On the glass door, a piece of paper which says the following : "Important notice about Barbara. This is Barbara. Barbara does not live here. Barbara lives on the farm across the road. Three weeks ago, a guest opened the door and gave Barbara a piece of toast. This was a mistake. Barbara returned the following morning with another sheep. The next morning there were four. By Friday there were eleven. Breakfast service was temporarily suspended. Please do not feed Barbara. Barbara is not hungry. Barbara is recruiting."

Behind the herd is a chalkboard which says, in a AI-loved font: "Good Food, Brighter Days".

What to do when your very union pivots to AI? It is not going protect you if you get fired for refusing to use LLMs! Found another union!

Government records are part of the public record, but digital information can be difficult to preserve, find, and use.

The Internet Archive has received an IMLS grant to develop ATLAS, a national program supporting preservation and access to local and state government information. The project will train 100 government and partner institutions and build new resources for the field.

"We're not even the product anymore, which is why all these companies no longer give a solitary shit about whether their stuff is good or fun to use. We're the raw material that they mine."

Remember if you have the money. Pick an #opensource project you like / use / adore and donate some money to it so it can keep exiting!

LLMs are fascist technology.

Note that I didn't say "cloud-hosted LLMs" or "LLMs that aren't local-only" or some other qualifier. I did not, in fact, stutter.

So California AG Bonta and his colleagues from other states were engaging in antitrust theater. Their "settlement" with the soon-to-be media giant Paramount -- that is, Larry Ellison and his sock-puppet son (and three Arab-oil dictatorships) -- is a pathetic cave-in. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/critics-say-california-got-too-little-in-deal-to-let-paramount-buy-warner-bros/ar-AA2cHhTk

Huge anti-ICE pasteup memorial in Minneapolis for those killed by ICE in the past year.
The pasteup is in the Whittier neighborhood, on the same block as Alex Pretti's memorial.

This is most worrying: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/environment/1520107/dolphin-found-dead-on-invercargill-beach-died-from-toxoplasmosis the idea that cat-dependent parasites can wash into coastal waters and infect our rarest, most precious taonga species is devastating. This is on us.

"Short nerds with high-pitched voices insist Conversation Simulator 2000 is going to turn into a living thing and wipe out humanity, and the only safe path forward is if they are granted full power to steward AI development. The world’s media hangs off their every word.

"Meanwhile, coverage of the actual life-threatening apocalypse only gets lower and lower every month. And the industry itself shows no sign of letting up in its plan to keep expanding the use of fossil fuels to feed data centre energy hunger. They’re fossil fuel cultists injecting methane gas directly into the heart of their machine god."

Shout out to everyone protesting at the Kennedy Center tonight.

#KennedyCenter #fascism #uspol

remember: if you want to do something incredibly unpopular like use LLMs in your project, start a discussion thread and make sure to flood it with the most noxious pro-AI guys you can find. if some of them are racists, that’s perfect! then when the rest of the community reacts strongly to you wanting to do something horrid and the discussion thread about it being filled with horrid people, lock the thread because it’s “too heated”. then you can do whatever you want because the discussion has concluded!

isn’t that right, KDE?

My comrade Hardworking Netizen is a retail worker who also does web development. They are also an anti Gen AI political activist, and trying to labor union organize their workplace. They are also #Covid safe.

Their message:

"hi all - I just worked a shift with major overtime and severe understaffing, and got a single 15 minute break in all of it - I only have $2 in my bank account, $20 would help me get something to eat. Thank you;

"Higher velocity = more good" is a misunderstanding premised on the idea that every piece of work on your Jira board is there because it adds value in some way.

Once you understand that the majority of developer tickets are actually negative-value, you will become enlightened.

A Paramount-appointed editorial independence board for CNN and CBS is worthless.

The fish rots from the head, and this particular fish is headed by a compromised oligarch with a history of throwing under the bus to advance his business interests.

WebKitGTK 2.54 has been finally released, and with it (among lots of other great things!) my patches adding support for fractional TouchPoint coordinates, PointerEvent capture/release through the DOM API, and fixing pinch-to-zoom handling and V4L2 video acceleration. It's been a while but it's out now:)

@phosh If you want to help us test this on @mobian please pull phoc (0.58~alpha1-1) and gtk4 from unstable. (4.24.0+ds-2).

Twenty-five years ago ten people set out to find whether a company owned by its workers could do serious engineering entirely in the open. We think the answer is in the commit logs.

All of it is upstream, where anyone can use it. Here is to the next twenty-five.
