Just this guy. Computer nerd for work. 3D printing. Making cheese and pickles (not at the same time). Sci-fi. Anime. US-based. DMing me out of the blue to ask for money (wth?) will likely result in blocking instead of a reply, let alone money.

Yeah, and at the time we all assumed he meant that it was a bad thing. Now we know.

Anyone surprised by those chats has not been paying attention. At all.

Apparently, this includes their own board of directors.

Bets on if they'll take responsibility for things that at happened on their watch?

What they really worry about is the protests remaining peaceful..

Any talk of AI without mention of how often it's totally wrong is just marketing/propaganda.

So.. I'm not hearing a "no."

Random tangent.. Saw Bill Nye guest voice a recent Futurama. Ever do stuff like that?

Would you, if they asked? Or maybe something like random alien #3, a la Mick Fleetwood on Star Trek?

The talk of gas chambers is new.. Not new for old nazi fuckbags but new for this generation.
davedurant.bsky.social
They were told to call it that.

That sounds a lot like they don't want to (or can't) meet safety requirements but want to keep going anyway..

I'd be a lot happier if I could say (with a straight face) that this was at all surprising.. :\

I hope it sticks but history says one side or the other will break it before long.

I dont think he wants it open, so yeah. Settle in.

This sounds like good news to me!

And as much as I advocate shopping locally, that's not really what we're talking about here.

Countries like Norway are pushing education programs to help people spot scams & actual fake news..

It'd be great if states started doing that, too.

It's 100% about removing anonymity, for control and profit.

More for me then, I guess. 🍻

But, really, if I walk thru the fish part of the market and smell anything, I just keep walking.

Always the victim.

Don't care how much he's technically won or gotten away with; he's still a loser.
davedurant.bsky.social
Good, fresh fish doesn't really smell like anything.. If you can smell it without being up close & personal, you might be best giving it a pass.
davedurant.bsky.social
Soooo many lols.. I keep rewatching and laughing again.

Check local libraries or googs around for a local "makerspace" or "hackerspace".

They're not that expensive anymore and there are probably some in your area, if you're in the US.

Or you can spend a couple hundred on a nice printer and not give more money to bezos.

Are these just loud or do they make some sorta distinctive sound?

Happy to print some (locally.. not in your area) but a distinctive "ICE whistle" would be much nicer that just a 3d printed generic one..
