Naming your AI supercomputer “Colossus” is the science fiction version of naming your surveillance company “Palantir.”

WATCH THE MOVIE TO THE END, YOU MORONS.

I didn’t think I’d see something that simultaneously warrants the #aviation and #furry tag but… here we are.

(Let me know if anyone knows who the artist is.)

(Also don’t meow or bark on the ATC frequency.)

Forced to log into Instagram, and add the date of birth for pet bunny account(who has since passed away a few years ago)

With the date set to 1970, the dead bunny is now approved by the Australian government to be old enough to operate social media accounts.

“No web standard should require you to agree to an advertising company’s ‘terms of use.’”
Yes, yes, yes!💯

“So, in short: you now have an LLM running on your machine, and any website you visit can make use of it, and whatever processing resources it requires.”

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:

1. Do not do age verification.

2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

working in technology right now is great, the most PT Barnum motherfuckers you ever saw are all like, we have invented a time machine, and now 78% of all discourse is required by law to include endless hours of strokey-beard waffling about the endless political and social and economic implications of time travel and the deep impacts on our whole society and how we all must take time travel very seriously and shovel all our money into the time machine furnaces or we will be stranded in some terribly unfashionable decade with no snacks or friends and we’re all so busy worrying about that we’ve somehow failed to realise that there is no fucking time machine

You're not supposed to use the 2-in-1 shampoo because it violates the Unix philosophy

I saw the silly lil creature in a toy store yesterday, had to draw it

I'm also reminded of how absolutely pathetic it is that all these insecure manchildren want to pretend to be hardcore, edge-y, and cyberpunk....my guys, I'm out here hacking my biology with unapproved or even illegal application of pharmaceuticals as I take on the most wealthy and powerful individuals on the planet by living a life that they have declared both impossible and a crime. Oh, and I also smooch other gender criminals while looking badass with an undercut while people say that children merely seeing me will shake the foundations of the current world order.

Just saying...being trans is pretty fucking badass.

"COVID-19 spreads year round. Here’s how to track it."

Tea Burns: "Even when local risk levels may be lower, there’s still good reason to mask up at any event...

"Just because local risk levels may be lower, that doesn’t mean that people don’t get sick. People can still get sick, and it may not even be a SARS-CoV-2 infection, but it could be another respiratory pathogen. Masking up is still, for me, the standard because every time you mask up, every chain of transmission that you break is a life saved either from an immediate death, from an acute COVID-19 infection, or slow death via Long COVID and organized abandonment."
