It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

The Vulnerability Apocalypse is here, and computer security is about to get a whole lot worse. Here's what you can do.

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not EVERY sentence(just 90.... maybe 95% of the time)!

I forget if I was 4 or 5, but when I realized that I wanted to grow up to be Gonzo the Great from the Muppets. Though to be honest I turned out somewhere between Scooter and Kermit.

FYI

Wooot Stardew!

‘"The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships," Piff [the study author] said.’

Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?

Please check the air quality before exercising outside (and possibly even inside). I saw several joggers today out during what I understand to be dangerous air quality levels for that activity. I'm not a doctor, so if you quite fairly think I could be full of nonsense, please look it up yourself ☝️🧐

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...

Doctor: "Are you sexually active?" Guy: "Well, I'm an alpha male and have a podcast about masculinity." Doctor: "A simple "no" would've worked."

Evil isn't a mental illness. These people have made choices to be cruel.

Big Tech is organized crime. Most people won’t engage with that statement. They don’t want to confront what it means — how huge the problem is and how hard it will be to fix. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. Big Tech is organized crime.

Congress is considering a bill that would stifle free speech online and leave all of us vulnerable to online surveillance. Tell your representative: Censorship doesn’t keep us safe.

Real heroes do exist.

I know I just posted about this, but I thought this response was even funnier.

Even Gail left Twitter. There was a time that following her there was my main reason to stay, but I’m done now, too. You should be done too. Nazis are evil.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

SNAP helped 42 million people afford groceries each month in 2024. They each got about $6 a day. Take a look at this economy. Does it really make sense that we just took $6 a day away from 3.5 million people to give billionaires more tax breaks?

SO THRILLED to share this first look at #StudentsOfStrixhaven! Our new D&D 5.5 Actual Play will explore the planes of @magic.wizards.com and travel the Omenpaths with my incredible players @claruspolaris.bsky.social @luastardust.com and @latinosagainstss.bsky.social youtu.be/fC-IDDtev5U

Court holds Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews. Seems significant. "A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate 'independent, new, and substantive statements' by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites" the-decoder

Picking a favorite is tough. F.A.S.A.'s Star Trek, Shadowrun, and G.U.R.P.S. all come to mind, but in this moment I'm feeling nostalgia for T.S.R.'s Marvel Superheroes www.classicmarvelforever.com/cms/ Which I played in the early 90s when I was still actively collecting comics.

It's good to see Bluesky can listen. Labeling people was never the answer. (Honestly I think this is just a manufactured problem to try and control people that don't fit certain norms) Bluesky's current system is adequate.

“The open internet as we know it allows people to access information anonymously, privately, and securely,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @pcmag.com. “It’s in danger by lawmakers who have good intentions but are writing broad laws.” www.pcmag.com/explainers/...

It's great that we're arresting SOME of the people involved in this, but why aren't we also arresting the people that stole content to train the LLMs to make these crimes possible? This is only dealing with half of the problem.

So in the wake of Google's full AI embrace on the search end, they've allowed Gemini to create Shorts from other people's videos, both horizontal and vertical. Here's how to disallow your videos from being used for it (for now) #YouTube #VSky #FuckAI www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3c8...

When security agencies harm rights in the name of "protection," they become the threat. Civil society, legal community, activists, oversight bodies: we must ramp up the fight against normalized surveillance abuses. EFF’s new guide is here to help. Join us. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We need Dems who will push the overton window on economics back to where it was when the U.S. economy actually produced a decent quality of life for everyone. Not "Centrists" who just Kowtow to the billionaires who just wreck things.

Typical hypocrisy of the anti-sex-work crowd. It's all about the power to control and profit off the porn while denying control and profit to the creators. (In the case of AI porn the "training data" is the creator not the LLM or the prompt. The AI is just a tool to steal control)
