53·5 days agoLook I want kids to grow up and be able to pursue any passion they want, but we have to ask serious real world questions here about Austerity and I am starting to think we should entirely cut MBA programs and in general business education.
I know that sounds extreme, but we have to focus on training kids on skills that will actually be productive, useful and lead to new breakthroughs. We clearly need to fund the hard stuff like art, music and theater or we are going to collapse as a society and continue to fall behind more competitive nations because we got distracted by fluff and empty ideologies masquerading as knowledge, MBAs being exhibit A.
They listen if you listen
In a fantasy world version of the US conservatives do that, in the real world US the minute you start doing that you have abandoned what it means to be a conservative.
What ICE is doing is way worse than what happens on the internet…? Most of the stuff on the internet is words, ICE is actually kidnapping, killing and deporting people.
You can put a clause in the license saying the software cannot be used for the dissemination of hate speech. The open source community has discussed this and decided it goes against the principles of free software and open source.
Says who? How can you authoritatively say the open source community has decided something collectively on this subject? That categorically doesn’t make sense on multiple different dimensions.
The Sony XM3 and other headphones in the series are a great option since you don’t have to choose, they have a headphone jack so you can go wired if you want.
Same thing with Shure Aonic 50s.
The best non-WEGO turnbased tactics game ever, winSPMBT/winSPWW2 (a descendent of Steel Panthers) is still in development and play by email is the main method of multiplayer.

Also, check out modern board games and their digital implementations, Yucata is great.
For board games in particular I recommend both the digital and physical versions of Scythe for the vibes you are talking about.

Lastly, if the rabbit hole of train games seems appealing the 18xx website looks great…
Conceptually what does this offer that the fediverse/threadiverse/lemmy/piefed doesn’t?
What then does it say about the actual value of this company and others like it?
If you want a hypercurated/focused reddit experience just join metafilter.
Somehow I don’t get the feeling the owners of Digg are going to be happy with the level of income Metafilter brings in to its owners however…
“We kind of opted for … let’s just keep building this plane as we fly it,” explained Digg CEO Justin Mezzell. “That means that it’s going to be very lightweight, and we’re just going to be aggressively shipping every week and just giving them new features as we go,” he added.

Ok, what content stream in what medium when viewed in a bulk popularity view like that isn’t 90% memes or equivalent?
I agree, I think something that has been lost in conversation about progressive politics and leftism more broadly (in US-centric circles at least) is that as much as people on the left disagree about absolutely everything, in general (with plenty of exceptions) politically left movements and cultural spaces tend to be far better at identifying common values and truths that are universal and holding individuals and communities to those values and truths.
Whereas on the right the endless stumping about valuing freedom of speech turns out to mostly be a mirage when it comes to innocent, vulnerable people being physically murdered on camera by the state, on the left institutions and individuals are much more often held to a standard of values and called out if they fail to reach it.
When people enter a space where progressive and left voices haven’t been systematically silenced and it is a new experience for them, they often react negatively and feel rebuked. I know some of my first encounters when I was younger with actually left spaces initially made me bristle with how willing they were to say no to things that weren’t healthy, to challenge oppressive structures even if they were so normalized they were invisible to me… it can be an uncomfortable process but ultimately more often than not leftist spaces actually try to do it and it that is a good thing.
I entirely agree with people having agency to decide when politics comes up on their feed and when it doesn’t, but the idea that we are all just being a bit too negative and obsessed with the news and we should cheer up is honestly insulting in 2026 given, you know gestures at everything. Everything is political, if you have the capacity to complain about being subject to “too much politics” be thankful for your capacity to experience that state of choice.
Also, and this is on a personal note, talking about politics doesn’t make me depressed, it helps me feel less depressed and anxious because I know other people feel similarly and the more educated I am about what is happening the less scared and confused I feel.
Why would they be doing it otherwise?
4·12 days agoI would prefer to title it “Gravity’s Rainbow Of Vibe Coding” as this is hardly a cycle, more like a denial committed with force that will eventually give out and cause regression into a shattering of identity.
If passed the bill would create a new utility category called “consumer-regulated electric utilities” (CREUs), with companies who build their own independent power infrastructure falling under this new designation. In order to qualify for CREU, the utilities would have to be completed disconnected from the main grid and built solely to serve new electric loads.

What conservatives want is for us to treat them like babies with tiny little fragile baby beliefs that we have to coddle.
I don’t care if you think differently than me, what I care about is babies demanding we take their hateful and irrational ideologies seriously while they simultaneously target vulnerable groups with at a minimum hate speech and harassment.
If we coddle conservatives this place becomes less welcoming to new people, that is how it is.
Solar is Fusion as a Service or FaaS technology.
I love how competent and thorough you think the people creating AI are.
AI is a self selecting industry of serial bullshitters, I am sure they claim to do all the things you say, but I am zero percent convinced of it until I see proof these kinds of anti-AI strategies don’t work.
What if we figured out the right prompt to get an AI to regurgitate its memorization of reddit and just copied that? Is that still theft if it was already stolen twice?
- More then Reddit this place is an echo chamber for the far left anti capitalist crowd. While I don’t mind a discussion, everything over simplified to EAT THE RICH was getting tiresome.
That must be so difficult for you compared to all the wonderful corporate platforms full of rightwing hateful trolls who genuinely harass people.
We banish you from this plane of reality, AI bubble!
