To my fellow middle-class, white, especially but not exclusively male and middle-aged people: The wokescolds, the hysterical feminists and anti-racists, the impractical anti-business leftists, the unelectable anti-police-state and pro-environmental activists were all right, and the fact that we tried to be reasonable and practical and conciliatory rather than standing with them when they drew their bright red lines in the sand is the reason that the world now looks like *gestures broadly*.

All those people saying “I was skeptical of AI, until I tried Claude and I was amazed that it could tell me this and this and this” sound just like

“I was skeptical of psychics, but then Madame Fortuna told me something only my dead wife would know!”

Human perception has certain well-documented flaws that confidence men prey upon, and you are not immune from these

It would be nice if police and construction crews didn't use the same "caution" tape. I'm out here wondering if my neighbor got murdered but they just had a new walkway poured

So Roku makes you agree to new terms of service waiving your right to sue the company in order to keep using the hardware you paid for, then three days later reveals a data breach.

I guess weʼve given up pretending that capitalism is anything more than open war of all against all at this point?

@anne_twain @sashin I apologize, I intended no disrespect. I don't believe that's a human-written article. My day job involves editing articles for a university magazine. The writing style here immediately felt off to me, much like an AI-generated image feels off. There is too much imitation of writing formalisms, too little specific information. I could be wrong. But I can't find a Linda Tran at Berkeley. Even if there were, why would a physicist be writing an article on human psychology?

@samueljohnson While I agree with the kernel of what you're saying, I don't see any need to insult people who may have gotten taken in — or to imagine that people who possess better-than-average critical thinking skills are immune.

@SuperSelena64@vmst.io I had that guy! Eventually I figured out it was a lot easier to play Gyromite by pushing the buttons on the controller yourself, and used the gyro spinner to carve crayons into interesting shapes.

The new state budget proposal continues to ratfuck state employees, existing teachers, and retirees, throwing a bone to teacher recruitment with 8% raises for *new* teachers and fellating cops with 10-20%.

As a commenter on Reddit pointed out, those undereducated kids trapped in generational poverty arenʼt going to arrest themselves.

TIL about a bacterium so tiny, it lives in a fly. But not just inside a fly, children, no — it's so tiny that it lives inside the *cells* of a fly. And its genome is so smol it might just be the smollest of them all.

And its name is Wigglesworth.

Installed iodéOS and so far it seems like a really awesome Android alternative. I like how much fine-grained control it gives you over the user experience.

But the installation process was a beast. Their install page tells you, incorrectly, that you only have to plug your phone in and run the installer. If I didnʼt have vague memories of flashing a phone 5+ years ago I would have had no idea how to troubleshoot why it was silently failing.
