In Australia, SEGA is pronounced SEE-GAH but in some other countries I'm led to believe it's pronounced SAY-GAR.
After intensive research I have found that SEGA is a shortened version of "SErvice GAmes of Japan", which sold slot machines to US military bases after WW2.
So SEGA is most fairly pronounced SER-GAY.
There you go, now nobody is happy

Good!
I'm gonna log off for a while and shoot psychic energy at Metroids or something because I'm exhausted beyond belief with *people* at this point.
My parting thought for now: I've said for a long time that AI in general and LLMs in particular erode trust. Enclosure of culture only works if you can break trust, and that's precisely what slopware vendors have very effectively done.

"The man who pulled the trigger had been provoked, they said. It was not the killer who was a terrorist. It was the mom who had just dropped off one of her six-year-old at school.
These individual lies are part of the logic of death squads. A murderer can go free because the government controls the story. And then the next murder is all the easier. And suddenly this is normal & people simply disappear."

Chaos in Tehran. Highways are fully blocked by protestors. Clashes between protestors and Iranian regime forces are ongoing for several hours already.

You can say "Have a nice day" without any problem, but using the phrase "enjoy the next 24 hours" can sound slightly threatening.
I'm reading now the history of the rise of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela (as depicted in the book "Comandante") and I cannot shake the feeling that his rise (and rule) are not that different from what emerging autocrats in the western world are doing (or trying to do) these days.
The tale & fate of Venezuela should be a cautionary tale for all of us... Let's see if we can learn from the mistakes of others or we'll be doomed to repeat them ourselves...

A second thread today about the murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis, with Trump's ICE officer Jonathan Ross accused of the murder:
Both Ben Meiselas and Aaron Parnas have just reported that they have received from Alpha News footage from the cellphone camera of the ICE officer accused of killing Renee Good, Jonathan Ross.

The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICEโs murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said โwell that sucks.โ
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.
