Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I have another #buyastrangerabook day offer to tell you about.

happy hump day

I see the papers which screamed ‘tAKe bACK ConTRol’ now want the UK to be nothing but an obedient servant of the USA

De vergeten factor in het AOW-debat: het brein De AOW-leeftijd koppelen aan de levensverwachting is logisch, maar vergeten we niet iets fundamenteels? Het gaat niet alleen om hoelang we leven, maar om hoe lang we mentaal fit blijven.

productiviteit zit niet alleen in knieën en ruggen: het aantal mensen met parkinson is in tien jaar met 30% toegenomen; een derde van hen is onder de 65. ook 10% van de mensen met dementie – in 2040 de voornaamste doodsoorzaak – is jonger dan 65 fd.nl/opinie/15879... | #aow

Ding-dong! The Dutch Fish Doorbell needs you to help migrating fish A Dutch lock is closed for the spring, and its employees want you to tell them when migrating fish come knocking by ringing a digital doorbell

Petition for fashion brands to start making women's tops long enough again.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Suspicious/convenient timing

He pulled the covers over his head and fell asleep.

And perhaps I'm wrong, and it's not that deep and there aren't any inhumane intentions. But even then it's still utterly, horribly c*ntish to do to people and proudly advertising that awfulness to the world, boasting about it like it's going to bring rent and prices down somehow.

...particularly strong feelings at that image. And I apologise to the person posting the picture because I know you weren't wating for a thread like this in your replies. I'm sorry. I'm just begging for people to make empathy okay again.

...seek to intervene and the Daily Heil gets a salacious story about a brawl and all the gammon can go "ha! see? told you!" as if >40% of them haven't been reported for DV. I know compassion isn't fashionable anymore but as someone who's had mental health crises (AND THE CHANCE TO RECOVER) I have..

Seriously, only people whose intention is that brown stuff hits the fan would come up with this. This looks designed for the person in the top right bunk to have a nightmare so realistic they end up "defending themselves" against the poor person in the bottom left bunk, after which the other two...
