This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Because client-side frameworks used to (and sometimes still do) load stylesheets at runtime.

In my opinion, it's always better to have static stylesheets that are loaded together with your HTML.

Only when you use the shadow DOM, because the "encapsulation" means you have to load your styles again for each component.

Femme non-binary game developer says a) no such thing and b) I don't want my creativity "augmented" by a machine, thanks. My awesome team does that with their cool ideas.

The game looks great, but will it be available on itch or gog?

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈I dream of the day when the world can become a place where transgender people can live proudly and freely as themselves, and where they can love freely

As a mascot, I see human love as beautiful and wonderful.
I love you all today as well♡

Please read this thread.

I love programming.

Even if LLMs (AI doesn't exist) get as good as the sellers say it will and my day job is just babysitting a chatbot, I will keep programming in my spare time.

Because I fucking love programming, and you will take my IDE from my cold dead hands.

Just my opinion.

A LinkedIn post from my profile, reading: “It's a very simple equation, really: Science communication needs to be accurate, it needs to be authentic, and it needs to be transparent. If you're not doing it that way, you're not doing science communication at all. In addition, *good* science communication is inclusive, it's ethical, it's sustainable. If you're not heeding these things, you're not doing science communication right. Which is why I am profoundly shocked by ostensibly reasonable people promoting the use of chatbots for science communication. Their use decreases factual accuracy. It decreases transparency. It decreases authenticity. Those things are true regardless of *which* chatbot you're using and regardless of *how* you're using it. Plus, the tech is not sustainable, not inclusive, not ethical. The promotion and use of Al chatbots is already damaging science communication and, if taken to the extreme, will be capable of quickly destroying it. Not through the rise of evil Al, but through ignorance on part of the users, rapidly destroying the trust that science communicators have been able to build over decades. Everything I will ever publish will be written by humans, and by humans only. If science communication goes the way of the robots, it will go there without me.”

LinkedIn probably wasn’t the best channel to post this, but I stand by it

I dunno man, maybe the government shouldn't be killing people, it's just a thought.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

Whatever you thought you would've done in 30s Germany is exaclty what you're doing now.

Evil starts when you begin to treat people as things - Terry Pratchett The background is cubes of ice.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Do not give up your brain It's tempting to just let tools think for you, but you still need to be able to think for yourself and stay sharp.

"It’s really tempting to say that you’re just “using the resources you have” when you use a simple query here and there, but your brain is the best resource you’ll have for the rest of your life, and you should keep it sharp." @cassidoo.co

We are calling for an immediate stop to all purchases from Upper Deck.

Their total lack of communication is distressing—so we call upon everyone to help us escalate.

No purchases from Upper Deck. No media coverage or posts of their games.

Upper Deck will only respond when it hurts their wallets.

What is the line that, once ICE crosses it, even its current supporters will say “ok, enough is enough”?

If you answered “attempted murder of babies” you’d be wrong.

Does such line even exist? Or are these people willing to sacrifice anything and risk everything“bEcAUsE iLLeGaLs”?

And the thing is, as I told them: the fall of an empire is never the end, historically speaking, merely a change.

A transition, if you will.

And as is usually the case with transitions while the transition itself usually sucks, it's almost always a change for the better.

Being kind is free and i love doing it

The risks of AI in schools outweigh the benefits, report says A new report warns that AI poses a serious threat to children's cognitive development and emotional well-being.

"The sweeping study... found that using AI in education can 'undermine children's foundational development' and that 'the damages it has already caused are daunting.'"

They include limiting kids' cognitive, social, and emotional developmen, and increasing inequity.

Thinking everything is doomed is apocalyptic thinking. It's no different than believing in Judgment Day, The Rapture, or any other doomsday judgment scenario that was always built from the ground up to push you into passive obedience.

Life.
Will.
Go.
On.

Get off your ass and make it worth living.

There is no room for dooming, imo. If better is impossible, life has no point.

We can make it better.

We will make it better.

If you don't believe it's possible, fine. Get the actual fuck out of the way of those of us who know otherwise.
