i love when wikipedia articles are written by aliens
Hey Fedi I recommend books at the end of all my blog posts but I would love to recommend some more Fedi authors. Put your DRM Free link below if you don’t have an audiobook link. I listen to audiobooks exclusively and only get DRM free Ebooks. If you have audiobooks, put them in the replies. #Author#Writer#Books@bookstodon
As a surprise Christmas gift to #retrocomputing, I've pushed out a new version of my #Vezza#Infocom#zmachine#interpreter. This time it's a #CP/M build, specifically for the #TRS80 models 2/12/16... on glorious 8-inch floppies. My requestor and tester Ziggystar12 was kind enough to take a photo of Bureaucracy running on a machine with the 8-inch drives; a game that could never be run on that machine before even though it was contemporary! #retrogaming#retroBattleStations
How would you make the case for not calling an LLM "he" or "him" like it is a particular person without sounding like the Bene Gesserit?
For some reason it really bothers me on a deep level. What the heck is that about?
Oddly? I do not feel upset about the robotics team doing this for the robot they built. I think my issue is with the notion of an individual being ... mentally constructed who simply does not exist.
@Gargron@ErikUden I feel like this would be an appropriate place to post a gif or quote from Idiocracy, but … after watching that video, I just can’t bring myself to do it.
Die US-Sanktionen gegen HateAid sind inakzeptabel. Das ist ein Angriff auf Europas Recht im digitalen Raum. Wir müssen den Digital Services Act (DSA) verteidigen. Die Bundesregierung darf HateAid nicht alleine lassen, sondern muss jetzt jede Unterstützung anbieten.
Die Sanktionen gegen den ehemaligen EU-Kommissar Thierry Breton sind auch ein Angriff auf unsere Europäische Union. Die zögerliche Anwendung des Digital Services Act (DSA) durch die EU-Kommission von der Leyens muss ein Ende haben.
Sometimes you accidentally come across truly excellent people. Had trouble purchasing a gift online from Oh Jean Records in Fitzroy. Emailed them and Zach from the store went above and beyond to solve the issue for us late here on Christmas Eve.
If you’re a vinyl record enjoyer and in Melbourne or want to buy online, the service level and belief in what they are doing is clear. In the immortal words of Molly Meldrum, “do yourself a favour!”
Explained: How Israel is redrawing the West Bank to prevent a Palestinian state
Netanyahu "has previously boasted how he scuttled the 1993 & 1995 Oslo peace accords by boosting settlement expansion:"
“There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River. For years, I have prevented the creation of that terror state against tremendous pressure, both domestic & from abroad.”
If we don't post accurate info, if we consistently exaggerate, or if we misinterpret data, it only encourages people to ignore the COVID-aware warnings.
I KNOW this account follows the WastewaterSCAN dashboard and is aware that recent data consistently shows straight-down and straight-up trends in the last few preliminary days. They ONLY post when it goes straight up, never down.
This winter's surge in the US will very likely be our lowest in years. That's not minimalism--it's just accurate.
