The giant eye is painted in Ukraineโs colors, Kyiv burns inside the reflection, and the tear does the rest. It turns one wall in Cardiff into a whole emotional weather [โฆ]

Lake Chad reached its largest extent during the Holocene. Really, it was almost an inland sea. To distinguish this body of water from its modern form it's often referred to as Lake Mega Chad. As a parent of meme obsessed teens, this makes me very happy.

This addon shows whether your browser is connecting to the website with ipv6 or ipv4 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipvfoo/
Sometimes it gives 4 even though the website supports ipv6, because maybe it got ipv4 info earlier than v6?
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber The closest they've ever come to a consistent definition of intelligence is something that can do economically valuable work.
Under that definition, what he's proposing is that you would rent the ability to do work, at all, from him. And that is in keeping with the ai/vc set's stated goals and past actions.
@jenniferplusplus @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber yes! This is a thing I keep coming back to in how I feel about what's going on. The effort here is to build the ultimate "rent a shovel" service where the entire economy is dependent on an oligopoly of cloud providers to functionally do work.
I can live with a lot of things I don't like, but that's basically anathema to me.

there are so many "edge case words" in english (and most languages, but i only know english), like how more than one ox become oxen, or how removing almost all of your data leaves you with a single datum. after you speak, you haven't "speaked", you've spoken.
i wish companies would occasionally insist on doing this for their neologisms. it would be very funny to me specifically (and my opinion is, of course, of great import).
now that you have a second kindle, you have two kindlen. after i zoom you, we won't have "zoomed", we will have zaam. can you bing something for me? let me know when you've bung it. i need to sync that to my galaxies S26.

Back in my hometown. Sitting at my usual cafรฉ at my usual spot, listening to Elliott Smith. I feel like 19 again.

The hardest thing for the media to wrap its hands around over the last year is that
โญ๏ธDonald Trump has no plan
โ for anything, ever.
Time and again, national pundits and the White House press corps invent a logical Donald Trump who sets, announces, and later โchangesโ real โpoliciesโ or โplans,โ
failing to convey what is clear to anyone who is actually following events closely:
โ ๏ธIn each public appearance and social media post, the Mad King Donald Trump spouts a string of words,
devoid of meaning or purpose,
that may or may not represent anything at all.
๐ฅEvery single thing he says may, at any given time, be taken as an official hard-line policy of the US government,
the opening gambit to a long flexible negotiation,
-- or a random pronouncement that will be never be mentioned again.
Itโs impossible to know in real-time which is which โ especially so if youโre actually in the US government and in charge of translating his words into actions and plans

This needs to be acted against NOW. If people on Discord managed to get up in arms enough to get them to chance course, we should be better prepared for then them to make them change course
Here is an 
@heisecheise Security article about Discord trying to distance themselves from this company that Open Collective is now integrating into their platform:

I don't know what 
@opencollective and 
@OpenSourceCollectiveOpen Source Collective (OSC) are thinking with this move, but this situation needs to be reconsidered. This is going to have a massive blow back when the actual users of Open Collective realize what's going on.
