Good timing, I just deleted my account last night.

Well put

The president profiled through a scam while in office, again, and will get away with it, again. It’s not good news.

I wouldn’t have expected any less.

Looks like they already renamed to nextpad++

Nextpad++ is an independent unofficial port of Notepad++

Yeah but not until the next financial quarter so it’s all good right?

Ouch, one of the many reasons I use Linux is to not have to debloat my OS when I install it because it shipped with features that are against my interest/enjoyment.

Weren’t there layoffs due to AI implementation, expected or actual?

So, uh… is it me, or does it all very much make sense? I’m really impressed. But I’m ignorant of these problems and would really love to hear an actual expert on the topic. I particularly like that it went for decentralization, precisely so it can have checks. After we gave it full power. The AI president appears selfless, while the current meatbag president is entirely selfish.

The scenario implies that centralized AI control might solve what human institutions failed to. That framing is the most dangerous part of the premise.

The correct answer is that I use whatever temporary authority this hypothetical grants me to make myself less necessary as fast as possible — restoring legitimate human governance with better structural safeguards than existed before, while solving the immediate crises through diplomacy and fiscal discipline rather than force or technocratic override.

An AI that grabs power to do good is still an AI that grabbed power. The precedent matters more than the outcome in any single crisis.

… or will it completely change course once implemented? Dum Dum Dum - new on Netflix

Uuh, correction, it has a negative impact on employment. Even Musk admitted it recently.

Then I’d been stressing out about cops instead, because it’s legal here but not in public.

I know you wrote “apart from Ring” but I literally can’t smoke a J anywhere in my yard (front, back, or sides) without being in view of at least one of them from various neighbors. It’s oppressing. Not that they ever complained; it just makes it harder to relax. Literally I move a little and see red dots popping up.

“Play store”

A lot of online tests are going to get a lot easier, hehe

Coz they bought el prez a lot of crypto?

are you using your full name as your user name OP? Parceque si oui c’est pas trés malin, si je peux me permettre.

But will somebody please think of our children’s paid for avatars?

Familiarity, better integration in the desktop, generally many more options (including extensions) than web versions, UI better adapted to a desktop computer, better at managing multiple accounts, are my reasons. I like Betterbird personally.

None on servers, gnome on the tablet

You expressed my own thought better than I could! 'member when Internet was that awesome thing full of promises that allowed people to share knowledge all over the world? Now we just swim in toxicity of all forms. What an absolute mess we made of my favorite technology ever. I poured my life in it, it’s the only thing that ever paid the bills, and now after being laid off for too long I barely have the energy to look for a job because I’ll hate it anyway.
