i have been telling myself i'll change this setting on my tv for at least 6 years
Bluesky is shrinking rather than growing. It has no source of revenue. If it doesnβt grow, *it will die*. Constantly making it unwelcoming, saying who you donβt want here, setting rules for what other sites people should and shouldnβt use, and the like, will kill it quicker.
you will meet people in like, toronto, who can namedrop people like Aaron Peskin and Dean Preston out of sheer disdain for powerful political figures in californian cities
(the shock was at the brazenness of the statement and confession. everyone knew her position on abundance. it's why she was invited.)
"the abundance movement is borne out of people who trust los angeles' politicians" is a new one
Sounds like a difference of "literally a felony gun charge" is totally compatible with gun differences being "far more minor than everyone pretends"
Those would love absolutely nothing more than to have an armed group as their opposition. Itβs way easier to bomb, shoot, etc., people with guns than people who are unarmed.
and requiring people to spend time modifying existing guns in expensive and inconvenient ways is near-optimal state-level policy.
Look at the price and the lack of reviews (read: poor sales) lol, this is a regulatory success. And if they ever got prices down, regulators would clamp down harder. Theyβre not being manufactured and sold with great economies of scale. AIUI, itβs mostly hard to fully ban these for conlaw reasons,
Yes, and the Nazis banned animal cruelty if you were curious what that kind of policy would look like.
Yes, every AR-15s and every machine guns were very different until the 1994 assault weapons ban started. After that, every single one in existence became very similar. Then, in 2004, they suddenly became very different again, because apparently US licensing policy is what dictates object similarity.
omg I'm so conflicted about whether or not this is too unsafe to retweet
Unlimited and practically unfettered immigration
it sounds like blueanon conspiratorial thinking
And it isn't tricky at all for end-users, honestly. In C, to access the hardware random number generator on any Intel or AMD CPU, it's just: (making sure you #include ) unsigned long long n = 0; _rdrand64_step(&n); // or rdseed instead of rdrand return n;

is it that italian restaurant in arlington
we will do anything except give smart people green cards
we can import whatever we lose
fascinating
When you look at Bluesky activity stats, things aren't great. But bots have gotten worse here in my experience, and so I can't help but wonder what "actual" activity metrics would look like.
they're so mean and entitled there :(
This really seems like the beginning of the end of the open web. Devastating for archiving and research.
it's very obviously fake
it's 100% fake though
Are DPC++ (and SYCL) safe w/Intel struggling right now?
I still can't get over this. It's like if the Saudis droned Clarissa Ward after she filmed something that made them look bad, then blamed her and accused her of being a Houthi commander.
the saudis were less brazen with jamal khashoggi. insane.
I want to know what was really going on with this guy
Trump allowing Subaru to export trucks to America at a 15% tariff is the most lesbian affirming thing he will ever do
Look I went on /r/ChatGPT and some of this stuff is genuinely sad to read and upvoted hundreds of time by people deeply emotionally connected or feeling assisted by 4o, not even relationship stuff. Damn.
power where she can vote directly on US foreign policy decisions" which seems like a big deal
"getting involved in the party allows you to influence things, as AOC demonstrates" rebuttal: "aoc did not vote to defund iron dome" not only are these two things completely unrelated, but to the extent you can try to force a connection between the two points, it's "AOC is now in a position of
Hi Jon this is your lawyer speaking. I am advising you today to keep posting this shit
Thank you!
It goes both ways: I'd have voted York in the UK bc I wouldn't think it could have that much pollution, given that I've never heard of a soul living there before.
"The hack ... is feared to have compromised the identities of confidential informants involved in criminal cases at multiple federal district courts. ... "It is not immediately clear who is behind the hack, though nation-state-affiliated actors are widely suspected."
They're super easy to do w/a Google Form, too!
Inexplicably, Animal Art Crimes did/does SPSB auctions. When I asked them if it worked well, they said it did!
If he fully owned the home and sold it for cash today, after taxes, and invested every cent into itch.io, it wouldn't meaningfully make the site any less scrappy. You can't do too much for a site operating at Itch's scale with just $1M.
I mean, it's not inaccurate. You can take a mortgage out for the cheapest decent home you can afford in SF and at the end of the day, that's great, but not really an indicator of financial wellbeing. E.g. it may be the case that he can no longer afford the mortgage after the Visa & MC pushback.
Qualcomm just runs a somewhat tight ship. I'm surprised they've gotten this all major OEMs on board. Geekerwan interviewed some of the team and they shared how they force OEMs to stick to their tuning iirc. Maybe at a firmware label? because all OEMs still have their own adjustments I believe
Today's "strategic" trade tools become tomorrow's immovable fiscal fixtures. I saw this firsthand in last admin. Despite knowing they were poorly designed, we were unable to eliminate *ANY* 301 tariffs Trump 1.0. Once tariffs become industry protection, they develop their own political constituency.
incredible description
fantastic post
marco rubio's google history right now: "what does the bls do" "econometrics explained" "jobs report template" "r tutorial for beginners" "r tutorial for beginners no indian instructor"
1) that was fast 2) the second order effects of this are going to be catastrophic if congress does not intervene
I am hopeful, but I was also hopeful many years ago when a child was seemingly cured in Mississippi and it resurfaced after 27 months. Seems like the child in the study w/who has been undetectable the longest is still 10 months shy of that.

really cool how denial of water and energy, and the complete flattening of like 95% of gaza, were just forgotten
those videos of russian air defense systems misfiring
I mean this is just Zitron being Zitron. If these companies shifted consumption away from GPUs, it's not like the economic activity would disappear. It would just shift to something other than GPUs.
I suck at cropping
Iβm surprised Trace doesn't have more, considering BARPod & Singal.
forgot these stats were viewable. did not think I was this annoying π (n.b. Iβm using clearsky)
Rude.
funny how when a democrat is in office, the papers are covered in pieces demanding he be bipartisan in everything he does, but when trump is like "the democrats are my enemies and i will cheat the american people in order to crush them" its like "wow donald's impressive winning streak never ends!"
UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has revealed its plans to review the rules for increasing capacity at Heathrow Airport. βοΈπ

@whstancil.bsky.social had it right---this is the minimum we should demand from state electeds until the nightmare is over
fursuit porn was recently restricted on a major platform, which cited issues w/processors, fwiw
Welcome to ZomboCom
Truth social infiltration is obviously more effective than trying to hold up the sky on twitter. Twitter is still great at niche stuff, but it shouldn't be a daily driver social media site unless you know what you're doing. Electeds should be on absolutely everything

where do I begin

"nor K dash 9" A likely story.
I have seen this happen on multiple occasions!
Believing Trump as the anti-christ is a bit like believing newtonian physics, definitely false but yields excellent predictions about the future
The vaunted "grind to a halt" has actually been happening. it's just, y'know, not something that actually works.
in the bob harper club, ML derivatives have more swag than haskell
its crazy how microsoft fumbled the phone market so bad not even the best phone OS ever (windows phone 8.1) could save it
every day I weep for the loss of windows phone
Zoning truly is the enemy
People running their own personal US FP right now: Trump: β Musk: β Vance: β Hegseth: β Graham: β Rubio: β Cruz: β Colby: β There seems to be little to no coordination between them
The sweetest thing I saw at AC. They were dancing along!
sorry for not posting I've been at anthrocon
these are all obviously true if you have any serious familiarity with his story beyond the vibes

I think "lying with statistics" is bad regardless of motivation and that when you do it, you should feel bad, rather than attack people who call you out.
I mean, as Amazon has grown, time has also passed, which means there are now fewer children than there were before, electronics have improved and allowed video games to displace toys, and many small retailers in the rust belt have retired because those communities have gotten old & lost population.
sell them with (e.g.) AmazonBasics branding. It's not that Amazon is copying these small businesses, it's that Amazon is essentially doing a branding agreement with a different small business that's competing in the same market.
Amazon sort of does that? There are factories all over the world that sell private-label products. That's how store-brand products work. Amazon "competes" with successful products by looking for good-quality private-label products and, if they're good enough to have the Amazon brand on them, they
I would be really surprised if Amazon destroyed more small businesses than it created. Supermarkets can only store so many goods. Amazon has made it possible for me to discover and spend money on so many small businesses that I'd never have seen otherwise.
This work may finally prove that MZM is an excellent toy model for quantum computing... and nothing more. It's no wonder I didn't bother to write much about Majorana 1.
Obamacare dramatically expanded Medicaid and we saw the political dividends that yielded
(And the top quintile voted for Zohran & Mamdani much more than it voted for Cuomo.)
Past $225K you're in the top ~10-15% for household income in NYC, let alone personal income. My bar for rich is being in the top quintile.
Almost definitely not wrong. Past $225K/yr of personal income, the majority supported Cuomo.
Theyβre threatening me with cruel and unusual punishment
Ballot exhaustion was pretty rare in 2021.
i'd buy that explanation if we were looking at last-round results and not first-round results
see?
Calling Obama a Muslim socialist incessantly was probably the biggest mistake the right ever made
At least Cuomo is going out doing what he craves mostβbeing forcibly rejected by all the younger women in New York.
ok maybe cuomo gets blown out to such a degree that we don't have to deal with the suspense. phew.
