Is that you, Rowan, manager of TechTown?

No. It’s not like businesses that are open 7 days a week require all of their employees to work every one of those days

I’ve found it precisely the opposite: Monday is like a Thursday (so experientially two Thursdays and two Fridays) with a free day to schedule doctor’s appointments, car fixes, and all the other little things you’d normally have to take PTO for but now do not

here’s an actual article about it instead of just a random picture and text

Same

I didn’t realize people were hating on Timberlake, but I did find this

What is the benefit of putting a git repo site on activity pub? It’s not like the underlying git repos are shared that way. I don’t get why this would be a lift for hosted repositories. I’m certainly not storing my code on Jim’s basement server.io

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read this year.

These things are not mutually exclusive. The fact that Russian propaganda bots swayed a large percentage of American republican fascists in no way debunks the bots. It just means that it was an effective propaganda campaign.

They’re literally doing that right now, though

Respecting democratic norms is very important. That said, I don’t know that citing US imperialist clout is the best way to get the so-called American “left” behind the incumbent administration if said voter were already looking elsewhere or not planning to vote

PBS NOVA is great. That playlist has 20 documentaries on it about a range of topics, most just under an hour long, one that is just under two hours long.

Even if we do bootstrap AGI. why do you think it’d become a singular central authority? And maybe you should update your fantasies. If you want a pretty glorious look at the concept of space habitats as havens for the spectrum of cultural modes humans can create, I recommend Alistair Reynolds The Prefect, which takes place in the Glitter Band, an environ of thousands of space habitats in the Epsilon Eridani system

Is there any indication that this desperate ploy to reframe any criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza or recognition of innocent Palestinians’ basic humanity and rights as purely foreign propaganda is working at all? It’s absolutely craven

Executive Editor Kevin Merida said journalists who signed a harsh condemnation of Israel would not cover the war; The newspaper’s owners criticized the decision, and Merida resigned

Good, fuck Kevin Merida

I don’t see how the tag => file path will be workable. As you add and remove tags, your actual file system is going to go strait to hell. Dear god I don’t want to think about what that would be like to browse from the terminal

In the decentralized network of the fediverse where freedom of association is king, you’re free to start your own instance that will federate with everybody. Of course, the other admins are as free as you are and may decide to not federate with you. Such is that degree of freedom.

This video tours Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) image of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). NIRCam’s high resolution detects tiny knots of gas leftover from the star’s explosion, as well as light echoes scattered across the field of view.

The only objective purpose in life is to spread your genes.

Not even that. It’s not like you’ve failed at life if you don’t have kids. You just haven’t spread your genetic information. Saying that its your purpose to spread them implies it’s the genes purpose to be spread. Genes simply are, they don’t have a purpose just like you don’t; evolution has just given organisms behaviors and mechanisms that make it very likely that they will be regardless of that lack of purpose.
