Podcast Special - An interview with Emmanuele, a developer behind the GNOME project This is a podcast special where we had an interview with Emmanuele, a developer of the GNOME project.

Igalian and @gnome.org maintainer @bassi.io was recently interviewed on the "Kernel und Kernobst" podcast where they talked at length about the GNOME project and how it's developed by hundreds of open-source developers. Find out about this and more at: www.trommelspeicher.de/podcast/spec...

It's the weirdest thing. Say these things work (they do not): Isn't the pitch that these things do shit for you while you enjoy life?

But these men do not want to (or are unable to) enjoy life. They want another hit from the slop machine. They are addicts and need help.

Imagine if your lawyer submits an AI-generated court brief so bad that the judge says "goddamn dude, fuck you" and rules against you before it even goes to trial. That is what actually happened here lmao

The game menu of Star Trek: The Next Generation, A Final Unity

The bridge crew of the starship Enterprise 1701-D, at the beginning of A Final Unity. You can see Riker on the left of the screen, leaning on the helm console; Data, at the ops station; Deanna, on the counsellor seat; Worf at tactical; and Picard at the very front, like he's going to jump out of the main viewscreen and straight into space, for some reason.

Lindsay Ellis β€” The Macabre World of Bodycam YouTube The American proliferation of body cams hasn’t netted us improved relations with the police, but at least it gave us a whole lot of content.

This is the first time they made me slap a content warning on a video. Merry Christmas! nebula.tv/videos/linds...
