I guess I should do a little post about my interests. - Motosports (NASCAR, IMSA, Trans Am, dirt + regional stuff at CTMP) - Sim Racing - Music - Hockey (Habs) - Baseball (Jays) - Gaming and retro tech (PCs, all consoles, Palm PDAs, old computers, audio equipment, you name it) - 3D printing

Gross

Downloading previously purchased content on an Xbox 360 should be considered a form of torture because holy is it getting to be a ridiculously slow process these days

There goes 6250 tonnes of CO₂ removal every year…

This is fucking terrible, no thanks Doug Ford

One of the most dangerous people in the world now owns a huge chunk of CBS News and CNN...not to mention all of the other Skydance media companies. Don't forget that Musk is also the largest single donor to Trump's Republican party. Oligarchs should not have this much control of our media.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

The Ford Government, everyone. www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

If you use ai generators, I hate you.

Maybe the BBC should get someone who actually knows what he is talking about then.

getting tired of watching people die for an Elon Musk scam

nice to get mask off with it

Actually laughable. I will never own a modern gaming console again will I?

If you run any kind of PHP application on your server... it's time to patch. Except... the patch is not here yet. Some info here: jackalsyn.com/posts/php-up... - but disabling upload progress *may* help, it's just not the full fix: session.upload_progress.enabled = Off

Wow what a beautiful play by Slaf, play of the week material

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

Watching this trying to figure out what the actual practical application of this technology is supposed to be...

Tfw you know you won't win without the Russians

"I don't go around mocking people" -Manlet who has literally mocked anyone who stood in his way of gaining power or wealth

It's not "amid intensifying competition for user attention." it's to boost the stock price. It's always to boost the stock price. Billionaires can choose to not make more money; they just don't

Really nifty move there for Bolduc to win the shoutout

Dobson with a scary puck to the face. I hope he’s okay too. Damn.

Powerplay looking a lot better tonight, thankfully

Montreal doing anything they can to not score on prime opportunities

Terrible to see that happen to a ref. Not even gonna say I hope he’s okay because he’s obviously not. But I wish him a speedy recovery for sure

Damn I didn't even know he was sick

Well this is garbage. They're leading the industry down a dark path.

YouTube Poop Market Value

We are soon going to have to come to grips with the fact that this shit is asbestos for the mind

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda

"Zelensky has gone too far" - Man who literally wants to travel to Mars

"You're a NIMBY about AI data centers!" Actually I'm a NOMP (Not On My Planet) about privately-owned fixed-location infrastructure externalizing the cost of burning hydrocarbons for energy. If they had to pay what this really costs society in health and climate harms, they wouldn't do it.

Also Fowler was a beast, takes a shutout all the way through the shootout

At least the Habs actually won that one

The machine did not "go rogue." The machine belongs to and is the responsibility of the people who own it. Hold those people accountable for their goddamn machine.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Still glad I dropped Spotify during the first Rogan debacle and haven't looked back. Fuck that noise.

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

What is with the Habs bruh

Wasn't able to watch the last Montreal game on TV and won't be able to watch tonight's either. These "TV/streaming deals" are dogshit. Why am I not able to watch one of the Canadian original six teams? Off to NHL24all I guess

Junior Caminero sweeping at Yankee Stadium

DA YANKEES LOOOOOOOOOSE

DA YANKEES LOOOOOOOOSE
