"the fediverse was filmed in front of a live studio audience"

so is there discourse on more social socials about how labour has claimed pink in this election? #nzpol i think it's really interesting, possibly their boldest policy?

might be spring but there were still snowy peaks visible from the skyline track yesterday

@billbennett@mastodon.nz they just lower the price of butter and raise the price of kerosene and rags

a real opposition party would say that if this govt creates an immigration test, they will make sure that half of it pertains to te ao māori

@cstross@wandering.shop @DJGummikuh@mastodon.social @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange the easy answer here is that the tactic was suggested by ai

@tante@tldr.nettime.org "we should at least be ~exploring~ child labour, so when the board asks why we aren't putting more kids to work we have an answer" 😡

politicians who have the guts to say that if we properly funded* cycleways for even 3 years, nobody would have anything to complain about

• like, more than a rounding error in the transport and health budgets

@donkey@mastodon.nz @robl2044@aus.social ha, already had that exact convo with someone yesterday. "that's a $325 million seawall with a $25 mil bike lane on top"

@ptoothfish@beige.party @mu@mastodon.nz @etchedpixels@mastodon.social fewer kids, fewer elders, fewer citizens should be exposed to social media algorithms that said, if ID verification means zero bots and fewer sock puppets, then it will make the algorithms safer

@mhoye@cosocial.ca we all wanted to use bsd all along it was just more convenient to use debian 🤷

human intelligence agencies, full of bright sparks on a living wage, able to help answer all of your questions, copilot your tasks, design your slides, and write your scripts amen

@isaacfreeman@cloudisland.nz noooooice!

@donkey@mastodon.nz @robl2044@aus.social given the bridge over the railway it probably cost more than that, but he grudgingly took the point

@sugar@goblin.camp hey hey it's #GoblinWednesday !

@allrite@masto.allrite.at @liamvhogan@aus.social pain as a service allows us to collect valuable customer feedback in real time

@elilla@transmom.love @mhoye@cosocial.ca running with a hacked systemd what could go wrong

@zebratale so basically if you threaten reality check radio you lose your job. very back on track.

@bennomatic@appdot.net kind of like how we use :name_of_gif_meme: here

@amp@kind.social @vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net @philpem@digipres.club apple thought the same, TextEdit.app still doing it

@prozacchiwawa@functional.cafe @arichtman@eigenmagic.net definitely worth embedding some friendly prompts in your invoices!

@K4_713@nonsense.direct "but i really want to be a novelist"

@K4_713@nonsense.direct paid for a 300 word story, you can bet 260 of the words are fluff

@antoinnesterk@cyberplace.social yowsa, that's beautiful. full size to get in close

@vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net @tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org wasn't BYTE in there too? ah, not apple-focused. i remember treasuring the few issues of nibble i had

just when you think sony has lost the plot, they're right back with a double hit reminder that they still hate their loyal customers #DiscGate

thunderstorm! #wellington

"i learned so much about fungi that i forgot the name of god"

@cy @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green first thing i thought of, too. wouldn't be surprised if this is that, upgraded

AI will leave *all of us* behind

introversy

@bennomatic@appdot.net regulation is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. we didn't need the cliff in the first place. stop building cliffs!

why would you ever want to hide lion eyes? rock and roll is weird 🦁

i wish slack, or any chat client, would hesitate before sending a message that ends in 'n' with no other punctuation, because 99% of the time i've just fumbled the single quote for a contraction 🙄

@tante@tldr.nettime.org this is a really apt metaphor, thanks might literally explain the TESCREAL infatuation with fecundity, too

the prime minister is laser-focused on only good-vibe non-corruption kinds of things, please don't distract him with all of that investigative journalism carry on!

@chad@retro.pizza you can't have battery operated crayons without convincing everyone that they are mechanical first

@mhoye@cosocial.ca @freddy@social.security.plumbing unexpected turn at the end, which part is crowdstrike?

in case you're under any illusions about vibe coding being 'slop' like i was, that's mostly a copilot problem. with careful supervision, claude bloody code is a better developer, reviewer, and tester than any of my colleagues. there are all kinds of reasons to hate it, but for the shape of software i work on? it's stupidly, devastatingly competent. far out.

every now and then at work we need to spin up a skunkworks team to do some quick-and-dirty innovation on a project, and i'm always caught off guard when people don't remember what it means this thought brought to you by @futurebird@sauropods.win 's posts about huggingface and banana republic

RE: https://mastodon.nz/@ArrestJK/117373435731184624 this will be ACT policy by lunchtime, end the massive waste of holding in-person elections!

"There is no central register of British citizens or dual nationals, and information about a person's place of birth isn't enough to confirm if they are British" oops, they probably should have told y'all about that before selling you new, unnecessary UK passports 😂🇬🇧

@glyph@mastodon.social save the death threats. what we need is to hold the people pushing chatbots and agentics responsible for the harm they have caused, and to freeze any remaining funds to pay out as grants to artists and writers

it is definitely the parents' fault that social media companies have kidnapped their children and are subjecting them to mind-altering algorithms full of misinformation and slop in order to sell ads, all of which is perfectly ok to do to adults
