When your entire business model relies of theft of intellectual property, it seems a bit hypocritical to sue an ex CEO for theft of intellectual property.

I still use the dice box I got from you for my weekly D&D sessions and I still love it. I was sad when you announced you were not making them any more but I can't fault your reasoning at all.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Even if this were true (which it probably isn't - they do throw out a lot of unsubstantiated claims), then so fucking what? A person's employment staus has no bearing on their eligability to vote.

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.

So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

To be clear, this is extremely evil and wrong-headed in concept, but also I'm telling you now that it'll never fucking happen for straightforward operational reasons, namely that you'll never get all those systems and databases to talk to each other.

I am a (normal) glasses wearer, and I've never hit anyone for real in my life, and even I would hit someone wearing those glasses.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

A number of months ago, many Americans online—myself included—began telling foreign nationals to stop coming to the United States (for now) for their own safety. The events described below are exactly why.

Stay away from America, friends. Don't come here.

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years.

That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”.

Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives.

This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Yeah I had the same frustration the first time I got there. Then need to figure out how to actually get in there!

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

Here it is, a compilation of all the names seen on the Commemoration wall at #StarfleetAcademy. There are 208 names all in all, 2 characters (Airiam+Peter Preston) are listed twice. 92 names (44,23%, red) are of previously known characters, 116 names (55,77%, black) are new. This was a lot of work!
