the best argument against all this ai shit is that a sizable chunk of the population clearly comes to believe Computer Has Feefees And/Or Is God and that is extremely bad

You must treat the computer with respect, because the more humanity you see in anything, the more of humanity you will see in any person.

Microsoft should release a product called Windows 0 which has no features at all except the required platform to run windows applications, connect to the internet, etc. and never receives any updates except security fixes (which it will need far fewer of due to having no features)
Please and thanks

Businesses that fail must cease to exist. If a business is so important that it cannot cease to exist without society collapsing, that business should have been broken up or socialized substantially earlier than the point of failure. but in America, businesses can't fail, they can only be failed.

A fitting moment to bring back this old transit meme. However they’re powered—gas, hydrogen, electricity, or driverless—leaning on cars instead of investing in quality public transit is still a poor long-term strategy.

Feinberg’s first real test will be the CCA acquisition decision. The CCA is a program with no defined mission or role.
So this leaves him with a tough decision: waste a billion dollars on a useless weapon or to cancel the program and risk the wrath of the donors..

Full video of the launch t.me/militaryruss.... Colleagues are positive it's SS-18 or Sarmat (they are quite similar). My guess is that Sarmat is more likely. A launch from Yasnyy logical after last year failure in Plesetsk. As for SS-18, it hasn't been tested for a while (2014?) so why do it now?

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

"Maximizing their house's value while shattering the finances of everyone else is just upper class Californian indigenous ways of knowing and we must hold space for them."
While @resnikoff.bsky.social's article has some valid criticism, part of the challenge underscored here is that the YIMBY movement needs to continue to engage with justice orgs and listen to the lived experiences in dialogue. Swooping in and telling communities what to think is the wrong approach.
