Re: Greenland, sacrificing soft power you can use to control the whole world for some land you already have access to is the work of meme-addled morons. That they think it will politically benefit them for the midterms is an extra layer of stupid

By the way, @wikipedia.org is officially 25 years old and is indisputably one of the wonders of the Internet age. If you've never thrown them a couple bucks and you're able to, maybe consider it.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1

I'd beat 1+2 before so those were pretty straightforward. But for most of these other games I've just fucked around with robot masters. Until 11 which I've also beat. So I'm looking forward to seeing what the games in between have to offer.

I've been playing Mega Man games my whole life, but I've only ever beat a couple of em. That's changing this year, as I'll be beating the entire Mega Man classic series, on original hardware where I can manage it. Mega Man 1-3 down, and started on 4 this evening.

On LLMs, because transparency is valuable. The Oxide RFD on LLM usage, linked, aligns with usage of LLMs in Weaver's development. rfd.shared.oxide.computer/rfd/0576 No substantial human-facing writing for Weaver will be LLM-written. No AI-generated images will be used in branding or elsewhere.

I gotta give it to my guy Astyanax, but there's a lot of good stuff on this cart.

Interplay 1 also has the honor of containing the (currently) 655th best NES game according to @jeffgerstmann.com : Battle Chess. Course elsewhere on the platform we've also got number 16, Blaster Master. And number 26, RC ProAm. Even number 1, Mega Man 2 if we count discontinued hardware built-ins.

"What do you think we should do with people breaking the law who are here illegally," is a non sequitur meant to leave viewers with something familiar to be angry about so they can disregard everything else this person said. Y'know cause Renee Good was neither breaking the law nor here illegally.

So let's have the conversation "people will use these tools, how do we make it safe" rather than "how do we shame people enough to prevent them from using these tools."

...used in OSS, which also impacts how they're used in the industry. There's no way to prove positively "no AI was involved here." And even if there were, that doesn't help maintainers actually evaluate the change in any meaningful way anyway.

Ah it seems the discourse moved on while I wasn't watching. I remember zkat from my time on fedi and I have lots of respect for them. I hope they're able to recharge and come back to OSS when they're ready. I think there are lots of important discussions we could be having around how LLMs are...

I sat in a fucking court room and heard Apple imply that a naked cartoon banana was somehow inappropriate but somehow Grok non consensually undressing women and children is ok?? www.theverge.com/policy/85990...

Anyway I ain't looking to get directly involved in That Drama - and the Discover feed has kindly kept all my posts off it for years now. But I just found the confessional tone in that PR striking.

like I ain't shaming folks just for using it...maybe a little based on how they use it. Especially not OSS projects cause they have the benefit of being able to show that all contributions go through the same rigorous manual and automated checks so it doesn't matter how the changes were written.
