Hello fellow humans! I'm considering starting out all of my electronic communications with "Hey fuckers" so you all know it's not an AI.

(Eh, eventually they'll teach the AI to swear and even that won't work anymore.)

Anyway, I was looking up how to add composite video to a Raspberry Pi Zero, and I found an article (which I will not link) that claimed to show me how to do it.

A few paragraphs in, this obviously AI generated line art shows up and I realized I was taken for a fool.

in reply to John Wilson

"Sup fuckers" is a classic opening line which may be liberally applied as an icebreaker to a variety of social situations.

1) I feel like this will work for a short time, until you train the AI's to begin messages similarly "What up my bitches?!"
2) I'm concerned about the slippery slope to "Death to all humans!"

It's been a fun morning. I'm helping a Los Angeles STEM education nonprofit prepare a kids' event, and I got to build and play with this vertical wind tube. (Remarkably simple instructions here: gooddayswithkids.com/2015/02/0…)

Rules rules ... We all need training on how to scan our groceries

And we need to be paid for this work

in reply to Melissa BearTrix

Supermarkets are going to accidentally reinvent the staffed checkout by making the self-checkouts such a nightmare to use the customer always ends up needing intervention from staff anyway.

(Personally I use the scan as you go around and put stuff straight in the bag. Then just pay and get out of there. Much less hassle.)

The move to "non-cooperation" : "10 commandments”, writing: “When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU: 1. Don’t know 2. Don’t care 3. Don’t tell 4. Don’t have 5. Don’t know how to 6. Don’t give 7. Can’t do 8. Don’t sell 9. Don’t show 10. Do nothing."

"This shift toward noncooperation over large-scale protests may be strategically wise."

The image depicts a figure in elaborate medieval-style armor, standing upright with a confident posture. The armor is predominantly silver with gold accents, featuring intricate designs and a large floral emblem on the chest plate. The figure holds a sword in their right hand and a large, ornate shield in their left, both adorned with detailed engravings. A blue cape with gold patterns flows from the shoulders, adding to the regal appearance. The figure's red hair is styled in braids, and a halo-like glow is visible behind their head, suggesting a divine or heroic aura. The background is a plain gray, emphasizing the figure's detailed attire. The image is credited to "©2025 PAIZO INC. DORIANADREAM.ART" in the bottom right corner.

in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

Trump’s broadest objective is to vastly expand the already expansive authority of the President. National security, which Trump claims requires him to send Venezuelans to prisons in El Salvador, is an area where Presidents already have a lot of unchecked power. Trump thinks he can get Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh to do what they did in the Presidential immunity case… 5/

Via Kyle Cheney:

BREAKING: The federal court of appeals in DC has cleared the way for #Trump to fire members of the National Labor Relations Board and the Merit Systems Protection Board, consolidating Trump's grip on once "independent" parts of the executive branch.

Judge Millett dissents, saying her colleagues upend Supreme Court precedent and effectively disable the two boards from functioning while the case proceeds.

Trump is aiming to silence any and everyone who goes against his personal views, and that includes some angles that press outlets shed light on. Let’s take a look at how we can support Black journalism in this new age of censorship.

in reply to Glyn Moody

I just stopped listening today to a US tech podcast that I have listened to for many years, for this same reason. It irritates me to hear criticism of China and others without mentioning the US has done the exact same things. I really cannot stand such hypocrisy.
