People hate ICE and they hate Trump.

If we had an opposition party this wouldn’t be so hard.

This shows the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on end-to-end encryption and that it's only governed by Swiss privacy law, can provide to third parties. In this case, the FBI. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

Scouting America says transgender kids are still welcome after Pete Hegseth claimed they weren’t "We have transgender people in our program, and we’ll have transgender people in our program going forward,” the group's CEO, Roger Krone, said.

NEWS: Pete Hegseth said that trans kids can’t be in Scouts anymore. Scouting America told me that’s not true.

β€œScouting America remains steadfast in our commitment to providing a place for all young people to learn, grow, and thrive,” the org said after I asked.

The last few days have been a reminder that Republican party government is mostly aimed toward a return to unstable, arbitrary, personalist rule

If someone dumped a dog in such conditions, they would be charged with animal cruelty and the public would be howling for blood. They don’t treat human beings like animals. They treat them *worse* than animals.

TBH I’d like to start seeing large financial penalties, with NO bailout bullshit.
Also, egregious cases deserve additional consequences.
As a security practitioner, this on repeat while companies rake in profits is so ridiculous.

pentagon trying to force Anthropic to make killbots and threading to crush them unless they comply is among the most dangerous things this admin is doing. HOWEVER it’s hilarious that Elon is practically begging to make antiwoke Skynet and the WH is like β€œno haha Claude is better”

NPR is reporting the DOJ withheld Epstein files tied to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor and removed docs from a public database where Epstein accusers also mentioned Trump. Imagine what’s in the files they kept hidden when we know what’s in the ones they released..

So it sounds as if Starbucks is changing its policy and they can now kick you out if you're not a customer, which is inevitably reigniting public discourse about the need for third spaces, and you guys...libraries.
Libraries. Patronize your library. Support your library. Tell your legislators to fund your library. This is one of many, many, many reasons libraries are crucial to a thriving community.

This is what kills me about the AI zealots: okay, you got to 95% accuracy. Those are impressive numbers for a college exam.

Those are "things go boom" numbers in chemical manufacturing.

What happens when you speak for a bit too long at a city council meeting in opposition to a data center being built in your town? In Claremore, Oklahoma, a man was arrested and charged with trespassing.

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

The president of the United States is in the Epstein files. He has been accused of horrific despicable, crimes against children and women. He must be brought to justice.

You'll notice that I am very carefully riding the line in NOT saying AI is the same as NFT. It's just not.

But the vibes, man. The chucklefuck barnacles. The ostentatious proclamations trespassing even a toddler's understanding.

Excluding these people from the vibes is gonna need to be a Project.

β€’ IOh
We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.
Support
So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.
