I mean, I’m not about to leave Lemmy, this place scratches an itch that only old Reddit and Digg gave me. But competition for the steaming greedy shitpile that Reddit’s become is welcome to me, better to keep them on their toes after their awful anti-user antics.

Wtf are we even doing there? Even if we’re trying to sell out Ukraine, I don’t see much happening without Ukraine at the table. The motivators are going to be sticks and carrots. The best carrot I can see the US getting Ukraine is peace or ceasefire alongside the cessation of some of their land. But that ignores that Russia broached peace agreements twice in this mess. So it’s not possible to trust anything Russia offers (kudos on that 4D chess, Putin, you pathetic slobdog).

That leaves leaning on the rest of Europe and continuing the resistance as the only viable option. Unless we give them sticks, which would be insane and fully exile the US as a pariah state from the rest of the free world. It would kill trade and drop us into an instant depression. Which they might think they’re fine with, but that’s quite a shortcut to the guillotine.

Left and right sides of PA, too, please and thank you

The founder of Path is a young man named Marshal Webb. I wrote about Webb back in 2016, in a story about a DDoS defense company he co-founded called BackConnect Security LLC. On September 20, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity published data showing that the company had a history of hijacking Internet address space that belonged to others.

Less than 24 hours after that story ran, KrebsOnSecurity.com was hit with the biggest DDoS attack the Internet had ever seen at the time. That sustained attack kept this site offline for nearly 4 days.

Fuckin’ yikes. Some serious skeletons clearly visible for everyone to see if that’s the echo to the call.

Double edit: spare a buck for Internet Archive if you can, y’all, we need this shit if we’re going to hold civilization together.

Today’s ruling is likely to be appealed by Griffin, first to the state court of appeals, and then ultimately to the state Supreme Court, which dismissed an earlier petition from the GOP candidate as premature.

Shit’s exhausting. Not that we should let ourselves actually get numb or exhausted from it, but you really have to admire their lack of scruples and complete dearth of any moral character.

Haha considering just how much irrelevant third-party training data you’d be looping into a format conversion, this metaphor really is spot-on.

It’s brave individuals like yourself who are doing the lord’s work 🫡

Yeah, I’m actually kinda curious to see what it would do, since the command is pretty nonsensical. Probably just an immediate failure along the lines of “/ is a directory”?

Fair, but even if it is commercial, the project being open-source is a huge step in the right direction. Specifically for DeepSeek, it has a number of censored topics like “Tiananmen Square” that it refuses to speak to, but because it’s open source, unaffiliated third parties have been able to start spins of it that reintegrate said sensitive topics.

Perfect? Definitely no, but I’d say it’s almost 50% of the way there compared to the awful nature of ChatGPT/Google’s models. And it also made people realize that this is possible, so there’ll be more people taking it in a good direction that otherwise might not’ve tried.

Aww, probably Hannah. As much as I would want to be surly or jealous of someone else finding their person, I could use some positivity in my life.

Yeah, this meme is a complete whiff, just seems edgy/hipster-y while ignoring the fact that nobody really cares because GNOME is a great DE.

Isn’t the debt ceiling limit about to snap again?

Unfortunately you’re probably right. Anything even remotely connected to politics has gotten so cult-like that “nuh uh” has become a valid defense for most.

Jesus what a cringy comment

We have acknowledged that the Selzer/Des Moines Register pre-election poll did not reflect the ultimate margin of President Trump’s Election Day victory in Iowa by releasing the poll’s full demographics, crosstabs, weighted and unweighted data, as well as a technical explanation from pollster Ann Selzer. We stand by our reporting on the matter and believe a lawsuit would be without merit.

They better stand by this. It only takes another news org or two to cave without pushing back with pressure before they can effectively silence anyone by threat alone.

Either that or it’s Yankee Candle holiday time in the Wiseau household

It truly doesn’t matter. As mentioned elsewhere, the Supreme Court will play whatever Calvinball rules are needed to make it happen, logic be damned. The fact that “corporations are people” and “presidential immunity is a complete defense for provable crimes” are said with legitimacy is proof that any faith you hold in the rule of law is null and void.

Is that color named “Susan Collins”??

This, and further exacerbated by this post where they take no accountability.
