Being trans is inherently a rebellion, transitioning is seizing your freedom.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Mozilla is using Google's proprietary LLM Gemini to overwrite Volunteer translations. That's not only a great way to destroy goodwill but also to poison your community. What are you doing @mozilla.org and why is it always some "AI" shit?
Mozilla's Betrayal of Open Source: Google's Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support MozillaMozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla | Youssuff Quips
TL;DR: Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets. Although Mozilla has experience in attracting open contributions for data sets in projects like Common Voice, Mozilla is using a closed data set to overwrite open contributions. Since (paid) Gemini queries do not train the model, Mozillians can expect to correct errors every time the bot automatically updates an article.

That's always been the case. They care more about optics than reality. That's why so many of them will say stuff like "Oh if you pass enough then that's fine" or whatever. Of course, that's unacceptable still, because who gets to determine what "passing enough" is?
There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation—
They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

15 years ago, America allowed SCOTUS to declare corporations unparalleled power in the Citizens United decision. 15 years ago, Obama was busy drone striking civilians and building up Tom Homan's ICE. This country has been losing the long game by refusing to acknowledge it exists.
One theme here is the speed of American institutional collapse.
“It took Erdoğan 15 years to do what Trump did in 100 days. If [Americans] do not accept the fact that this is a long game, and it will be brutal, I think you won’t have the patience and stamina to bear it.”

Stop calling them AI chips

Trump is sending the most advanced US-made AI chips to China.
Putin absolutely loves Trump's new National Security Strategy.
Trump pardoned a Central American strongman who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the USA.
This is NOT America first. It is Trump first and his dictator buddies next.

Bethesda needs to be mean again. A shirtless old junkie should always be grabbing your wrist and telling you "listen here you piece of shit, you need to go join a guild and progress a little into that questline before I even think about telling you about the plot".

As I settle more into Linux I realise that half my problems are because I am
