Maybe I'm a pessimist but this is going to really resonate with the people who are "looking forward to AI" because they read headlines, but haven't actually used any LLMs yet because nobody has told them how.

Good point, though I would counter that there's a lot of blustering about taking our country back but I haven't seen many serious attempts or people capable of actually planning and executing such a thing, and I've had a good bit of contact with what y'all would consider to be American far right rebels.

For all I know, the far righties talking about their revolution is about as productive as the tankies talking about theirs. Nobody sees a future in this country where the workers seize the means of production and we actually eat the rich, right?

I've enjoyed my time on the fediverse but have been disappointed with the leveling off of growth and lack of participation in niche communities. I still visit Kbin several times weekly, but it isn't like the old days when I would spend tons of time on Reddit. I have left my old Reddit account redacted and haven't started using it again, as that time is over. There are some communities and niche interests that unfortunately, it looks like Reddit will always be the main home for since we didn't hit the critical mass for people to move those communities over here. Because of that, I've started a new reddit account (with my real name attached, and started actively participating in those communities). For me, Reddit is no longer a place to anonymously participate in community discussions (because those discussions were becoming increasingly worthless alot of the time), but a place to participate with my IRL identity in communities related to topics or hobbies I care about. The anonymous community stuff is fulfilled by Kbin/Fediverse which I prefer now.

Hear hear, more consideration for social history of the ancients in general!

In September 2023, office badge swipes in the 10 biggest U.S. cities are at about 50% what they were prior to the pandemic.

 

It’s the end of an era! I still have a few that I never returned and just paid for, I bet one day they’ll be a novelty nostalgia item.

Oh man that’s terrible all around. Sorry to hear/read you are going through that Izzgo! A friend of mine had some kind of nerve searing procedure that helped with that kind of pain, any options in that space?

 

Rite Aid is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy as opioid litigation hangs over the pharmacy chain.

And the era of punishing pharmacies and distributors instead of prescribers continues…

 

The plane carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner paramilitary group, crashed as the result of an assassination plot but doesn’t appear to have been shot down by a surface-to-air missile, U.S. officials said.

Awesome loop building live collab between two masters of chill music. Even if you’ve heard this on a streaming platform, this video has parts that aren’t in the Tidal/Apple Music version. As someone who thinks he can sort of play the saxophone this video gives me feelings man

Very disappointed to see my employer on here with a D rating. Internal comms said we were out!

They are “inviting” mods to do even more free work in furtherance of Reddits profitability

This isn’t a problem. This is knowing how to reference community knowledge and technology instead of reinventing various shapes and sizes of wheels

I like the distinction between grief and anxiety. Never thought about it that way. I don’t have any answers just wanted to talk about this article and peoples thoughts on the feelings many of us have about the effects of CC and economic instability over the next 50-100 years.

 

Here’s what is collected by Threads, as well as by Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, Spill, and Hive Social.
