Sit with this for a second: If the White House had its way, all the immigrants in this country would be dead -- at least on paper. WaPo reports that the Trump administration had plans to classify 2.7 million living people — including some U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents — as dead as part of its immigration enforcement efforts. The plan reportedly fell apart after pushback from Social Security Administration employees who were tasked with implementing it.

Do they still make these things? I think my mother's bathroom is the only place I've ever seen one...and this one has been in use for over 40 years.

The US gov't will end up bailing out the AI companies by taking an ownership stake in them and Bernie Sanders will be instrumental in selling this to the lib/left side of the spectrum.

My #1 rule of politics is "you cannot trust a politician." I've yet to find an exception to the rule.

I was laid off last month due to cost reduction so I used this unexpected « opportunity » to give a boost on the renovation of my house. Doing everything by myself allows me to keep it on a decent budget but I will need to go back to work in a few months 👀

I’m a software engineer with 17 years of experience on distributed systems. I’ve been writing Rust for 6 years (prior to that PHP/NodeJs/Go). I have a good experience with CI/CD, DevOps, Databases & IaaS. Very much opened to learning embedded systems.
Open to remote part-time contract or employee status (max 4 days/week) with occasional travel.

Hopefully the Fediverse will work its magic ✨

"this is one of the smartest engineers in the field BECOMING dumb right before our eyes. That ought to scare you!"

That's the "AI" issue in a nutshell. We all rely on each other, on each other's skills and abilities. And we're just destroying capability left and right.

@glyph I never want to cast shade on addicts for being addicted, addictions are fucking awful.

I absolutely will cast shade on addicts for insisting I should be addicted too, and for transforming all of society around the idea that my being addicted is a good thing.

@hynek The only reason I can't quite fully cosign this is that LLMs are teaching us something interesting about the entire concept of "code quality". LLM-extruded slop frequently ticks every mechanistic checkbox we can think of in terms of "quality"; it's properly formatted, has high code coverage, appropriately commented, meets various "readability" bars, usually has a low to moderate cyclomatic complexity. It's "good code" in the way that we have been trained to perceive. It just doesn't work

FIFA's ban on reusable water bottles at the World Cup is a reminder that the international football (aka soccer in the US) organization isn't just corrupt and greedy -- but also indifferent about fans' well-being.

Looks like one of our first co-op projects is going to be a de-google cafe. I know I have seen great stuff here on that topic -- can anyone who has done one suggest materials, plans, approaches, resources that were helpful?

This is an important development -- a new tractor company selling machines that encourage repairs by the people who use them, rather than expensive control by a corporate monopolist.

We need to make this a trend, not an exception.

Has anyone successfully used Amazon wish lists to buy for people in another country? Or are gift cards easier?

I’ve compiled a wish list to help me replace items lost in my move (which is virtually everything) but people keep reporting issues.

I am without spoons & need the easiest options plus I don’t want to make it hard for kind people who want to help me out.

I genuinely have no idea how we can justify penalizing anybody for cheating anymore. Our society has invested so heavily in a technology that is demonstrated to cause significant problems, has inadequate safeties, with the exclusive purpose of usurping human contributions and intellect.

We didn’t just cheat off of our neighbor’s test, we cheated off of 1M different neighbors’ tests simultaneously in a span of ten seconds and we called it “progress.”

Our betters have spent decades shoving IP law and their warped ethics of digital ownership onto those of us who create but lack the power to enforce our own rights, and then they disregarded all of the rights they pretended to hold sacred the moment they could save on labor.

Then our bosses told us that we could use these helpful tools to do things faster, immediately before they started requiring us to use them for “efficiency.”

Capitalism is anti-human, and it always has been. “Work hard and gain useful skills” they said. Fucking liars.

In Sudan, Mohammed Ahmed Wad Al Sak reports, women displaced by war are creating intimate DIY films about rebuilding lives, teaching children, starting small businesses and refusing to disappear.
