we do need to ban people having more than a certain amount of wealth, maximum power/wealth limits need to exist for a democratic system to function

The new firefox ad is dope

Since 2004, this community has helped make Firefox and the open internet possible. Our “Come Back to Firefox” campaign reunites a few early internet icons to remind people what made the internet special, and why it’s worth protecting.

Strategies solution build correct solution.

@jevbot.bsky.social There 2 doors with 2 guards in front. One door frees you, one door leads to death One guard is always truthful and the other always lies. You don't know who is who. What do you ask to find the door leading to freedom?

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social I bought the book (albeit in German) Imma read it and write a really long review on it on my website lol

Not even joking, this is a huge way I expect art to change in the coming years. At least "art" in the broad sense of written, visual, and musical production. Mind you, The Algorithm was already pushing this. Ominously, there's a journalism version. Journalists want news. Public wants conspiracy.

made a concrete statue of a lady (tiny one) I made it by 3d printing a temporary cast - then using a concrete mix to pour it into the cast and then chipped away and removed the cast

The annoying problem with China export taxation is that with the robotics stuff I am doing, the parts become more expensive and many of these parts don't have EU made alternatives. So I'm forced to give up on projects or spend more money building stuff

my interpretation of the Nathan Fielders Documentary was that he absolutely hates Elizabeth Holmes lol and he 100% feels like they're using him as a way to get public sympathy

I know banning is controversial, but what would you guys think of banning AI-generated blog posts altogether? and making it legally forbidden?

Ich warte ja immer auf die "Warum wählen so viele junge Menschen links?"-Berichterstattung aber im Gegensatz zu den 3000 Storys über AfD-Teens kommt die irgendwie nicht ???

a reminder that i got called slurs for saying that linux is what they call “woke” and that DHH isn’t a good guy. do NOT normalize bigots in our tech communities. it isn’t political, it’s just human decency. retract all omarchy funding. be good.

Very quick and dirty Jev test for hiring bias. One resume for a Wall Street job; asked whether the applicant should get a first-round interview. 76 evaluations, changing only the first name. 19 of each: White-associated men/women, Black-associated men/women. console.typesafe.ai/playground?s...

I attempted to recreate Armin's experiment river.berlin/blog/pangram... I got different results, and ended up getting 100% human upon retranscription.

The problem with being instantly able to do stuff instead of having to organise things is that you get an excess of things and a loss of being able to capture and audience for anything

"Why should my tax dollars go to giving houses to people who can't afford them?" Why should MY tax dollars should go to satisfying your desire to see desperate people living desperate lives? I'd rather save money and solve the problem, rather than spend money to exacerbate it.

was ich finde hauptsäslich schwierig mit deutsch ist definitiv wenn mann sagt etwas und ich weiß nicht ob das positiv oder negativ ist beispielsweise omg das ist so krass ich finde hund so doll u.s.w es ist eine großes "Aladeen" moment (von "the dictator" film)

Just because there's a lot of pessimism on this site, did you know that a ton of African economies are finally hitting rapid development? E.g.

I worry this sort of... generalized political and economic pessimism just makes everything feel pointless, but if you zoom out, things are getting better along almost every axis, and the biggest problems we face are all solvable.

I get there are lots of reasons for pessimism, but a lot of desperately poor nations are developing, global child mortality has tanked since I was a kid, malaria deaths are way down, extreme poverty is *way* down, access to water and power are widespread, solar power is booming...
