then there was the time they were legally forced to comply with a court order and divulge the recovery address of a user who was also an activist journalist
but you have to comply with court orders. and using a recovery address linked to your real identity is terrible opsec on the activist's part
no. the CEO praised an appointed government position due to the newly selected person's historic angle of fighting big tech companies like google. bc proton is a small tech company
but it was trump who appointed the lady, so it immediately morphed into "proton ceo is maga". it was baseless and dumb
as obviously imprecise, egotistical, quick-to-judge, and generally bad today's "journalists" etc. may be (and are, let's be honest), it's hard to fault them for reporting on the baseless flip-flops of too-soon corporate conjecture
what's wild to me is REN (portugal grid provider) did exactly the same thing. hours after it first hit their public comment was basically "extreme weather swings led to failing equipment that interfered with frequency" and some 16h later they go "wait nevermind forget that"
go ahead and dismiss reality and deny that words have meaning, just like every other knight fellow i've read recently
and people wonder why journalism is dead. you myopic sycophants choked it with handfuls of rocks
wait what if it's an unexpectedly shitty book
is it ok to return a book you thought you'd like but turns out uniquely garbage
this is just a hypothetical, i use the library
pope's infallible, catholics must follow 10 commandments, child-rape is widespread throughout clergy. honestly who gives a fuck about the rules? not catholics, dont @ me.
fuck it make trump pope. DO IT, MAKE TRUMP THE FUCKING POPE.
Dumbfuck Trump is as divine as anybody. lmao gods children right
youre free to use "feels like i gotta watch my back reading a max barry book tbh" as your next blurb fwiw
could be. it's just you've fucked my head slightly enough to worry you'd do something nefarious like hide a secret message in the page numbers. feels like i gotta watch my back reading a max barry book tbh
"It felt all very normal and logical while I was writing it."
...
Sounds like what a machine would say tbh
yeah who gives a shit
i mean it seems i know more than you, for what that's worth, and i also obviously know that this thing called "nuance" exists -- have you heard of this word?
dont worry i dont expect big famous microbloggers to be receptive to any kind of pushback, do what you do cait
tbh tho this one's been weird since the anime-like open, youre probably about to fuck me over here, too, huh
i wonder if you had to teach yourself to act crazy to write like this from charles' perspective or if youre just conveniently schizo. wildly different tone and perspective from the rest lol
actually, madison may was a sly one in that what I term the Barrymoment -- the point when a Max(x) Barry novel turns so sharply you get confused and forget then suddenly remember it's science fiction -- abs snuck up on me, nice one
now 1/3 thru machine man and i swear i'm ready this time
yknow i forgot some places still ink words to paper pages, this was the paginated ebook. in that case glad i didnt start connecting papers via strings and thumbtacks trying to find the message tbh
most i've interacted with here appear to be in it to stroke their own ego. the double standards, nonsensical claims, and blatant disregard for objectivity and definition of terms make it clear they're not concerned with helping
& i'm talking about profs and "climate" jornos, not NYT editorialists
and i once spent a month in new brighton
you can take the man out of the scouse but you cant take the bleak existential dread out of liverpool bay
That's why I never became a rock star; I had the looks, the talent, the drive, but they asked me at rock star auditions how good I was at beating women and when I said "not very," that was the end of my dreams.
The fun part about words is that they have meaning!
In this case, the term "recycled ocean plastic" means precisely what I explained to you. In other words, your claim is blatantly incorrect.
It certainly is odd that a self-proclaimed "journalist" apparently fails to grasp the English language.
i normally hate to kill the frog, but for all the folks bitching about "it", read this to yourself:
"this mfer out here baggin up mayonnaise like it hard drugs"
then decide if you want to complain about dialectal grammar
it's mimicking AAVE and apparently a bunch of people just got got ahahaha
i'd bet my second and third nuts the onion doesn't produce content using LLMs. i read this as a clear stylistic choice
they recently hired at least one person and AFAICT the listing is down
Fairly measured, I guess. Sensible, from an actively publishing jorno.
& sadly not enough. Journalists killed journalism, and as humans, they'll be unknowingly influenced by "leveraging" AI tools.
I'm glad the Bsky experience has taught me to stop defending and pursuing the now-bastardized field.
why bother "leveraging tools efficiently" anyway? what a waste of time.
just have AI write the whole thing, it'll be roughly as good as this schlock. every one of you should be embarrassed, mocked, and ridiculed.
truly pathetic.
sigh. Skyline Chili. And I hate you for posting this. Now I'm sad.
All the other American food I love is, to some degree, possible to find where I live. But Skyline was my favorite since early childhood, and my imitation is close but not perfect. The canned stuff is OK but exorbitant. damnit
yeah... and they're not exactly rare or hard to make perfectly. they'll get to taste these again
I have another story about accidentally crumpling the front end of somebody's brand new BMW while hauling ass out of that parking lot so I wouldn't be driving when the acid kicked in. that Music+ was a locus of chaotic power
