Barely relevant, but does anyone else find that article thumbnail is absolutely terrible? I was genuinely confused for a moment, not sure what I was looking at.

FWIW, I got it now, I’m not quite that inept.


Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there’s a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

I run into lots of websites where all I think is “this can’t possibly be a human writing this, right?” All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.


Makes sense. Only consoles I have are the switch, and the best console (because it’s not a console), the Steam Deck.


I haven’t played the new one, but I’m also a heretic who enjoyed Agents of Mayhem quite a lot. I’ve almost 100%'d it.

I also played SR:4 and Gat Outta Hell. Loved 4, never quite finished Gat Outta Hell.

My main gripe with the new Saints Row? It was a FortniteLauncher™ exclusive. I won’t buy it until it’s on a deep deep sale on Steam. I chose Linux, and they support my choice. Exclusives aren’t good for an open market, and I hate what Epic has done so brazenly to young audiences with predatory monetization, intentionally addictive systems, and dark patterns.


Alt-right playbook is, and always will be incredible


I quite like what Cory Doctorow has to say about it. (Author of Little Brother, coiner of the term “enshittification” (and much much more obviously))

Article

Podcast version


If a certain group of workers is too critical to be allowed to strike, then they’re too critical to be forced to work in poor conditions. “Back to work” legislation should not exist to bind the workers, but bind the companies.

“Sorry, you’re too important to Canada’s infrastructure, you can’t be allowed to mistreat your workers. As punishment for letting it get this bad, you must agree to ALL of their terms, and in return, they’ll begin working first thing tomorrow. Guess you should have been more agreeable BEFORE the strike.”

I dunno, forcing strikes to end in any situation seems dangerously close to forced labour. But maybe I’m just a dirty commie.
