As the professor said,"If you did this, if you just press a button to ask an AI agent to do this for you, you’re showing to be completely irrelevant. So my question to you is, why are you here? Why are you at a university if you refuse to learn, you refuse to work hard, if you refuse to put in the necessary effort to develop critical thinking?”

One of the court reporting people on NPR said something like “This is a perfect case where all they had to do was point at the Constitution and not take up the case”.

I think Congress needs age limits more than term limits.

Here’s an archive link for the few who actually want to read the article.

LOL. I agree with all the fuckery, but people still voted (or didn’t). Don’t defend voters (or non-voters) who just keep voting for the same incumbents and same bullshit for decades. Be better, and expect better.

Seems that all the apathetic leftists who didn’t quite care enough to vote for Bernie, or other progressives in the primaries, only to bitch about their choices in the general have finally realized how important primaries are. That or more leftists are stepping up and running. Whatever the reason, I’m here for it and like seeing it unfold. Still not getting my hopes up, but it is good to see.

Oh man, I haven’t seen those parodies in awhile.

In the article:

Ford currently leads the industry in the number of recalls, and its quality ratings have slipped over the past several years.

But also in the article:

The automaker was recently named No. 1 in JD Power’s initial quality ranking for the first time in 16 years.

I guess one that I expected to see here is Sons of Anarchy. I thought it was great. I’m a little disappointed, but not surprised, that I don’t see either Letterkenny or Shoresy on here right now.

While there is a native bamboo to North America, even that won’t have the impact of a drone with explosives or a couple thirty aughts into the data power distribution for the data center. Even that’s pretty temporary compared with doing the same to the Epstein class.

Seems, at a cursory look, to be a pretty solid intro to PostgreSQL. As @[email protected] commented, people sleep on SQLite. I think a lot of people skip SQLite because they think they need more. Hell, just about all my personal uses are covered with GNU recutils.

In a morally bankrupt, economically stupid, historically corrupt administration, Miller stands proud near the top of this pile of shit.

A 2016 Nature study found the human eye can detect a single photon just above chance, while conscious sight needs about 5 to 9 photons.

I’ve said that with a previous date. Since then I figure I’m just more of a spectator to the downfall. Kind of like watching the climate collapse happen.

It’s the name the British came up with to shorten Association Football.

You aren’t wrong, but you aren’t going to have a sane conversation about Israel on Lemmy.

Thank you. Seems like the only sane take on this thread. We had years of Bush W. talking about TIA, cover stories on WIRED magazine on gov’t data collection, etc. For leaking about domestic surveillance, yeah, good job, but we knew that, but still good job. For the other stuff, textbook treason.

Full face helmet.

Democratic Socialist =/= Socialist.

Such proposals have raised predictable outrage from the rich, along with threats that they’ll move elsewhere where taxes are lower and dire predictions that their fellow plutocrats will refuse to move in.

Yet there’s scant evidence for these consequences. In fact, when Massachusetts passed a “millionaires tax” in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven’t — and Massachusetts has collected $5.7 billion for infrastructure and public education. -Robert Reich

I was listening to NPR a day or two ago. They were talking about a shortage of mansions in the Bay Area. While at the same time talking about a lack of affordable housing. We’re seeing the long term effects of not taxing wealth appropriately.
