I think with a lot of stuff like that, most people don’t care. Like I assume it’s the red and white side that you’re talking about but idk, and for sure I never see racists flying either set of colors which is why I think no one cares.
The Confederate flag didn’t fall out of favor primarily due to its meaning in the 1800’s, but moreso due to the contemporary associations.
This Week In Linux or BSD Now for tech I guess. -
The Iron Dice for history. German/WWII
Politics is hard, even non-American. Left or right?
Not that I recall. The trick to answering the question, I think, is to say a few nice things about about the organization, or the position, or yourself.
“I’m interested in working for a dynamic institution like Yoyodyne Industries…” or “As you can see from my resume I have a wealth of experience in spline reticulation…”
I found it was useful to write out my own cheat sheets of answers for common/likely interview questions, including some “personal experience”/“tell me about a time you…” type questions just to drill with.
It’s honestly trickier with overtly shittier jobs/orgs, like sales, food service, or cleaning. Kinda hard to say why you love Target or Walmart or McDonald’s. You can touch on how you like the product, but best to circle back to talking about your work ethic.
“Because I am capable of doing the work and can commute to the work location in a manageable amount of time.”
I’m deeply concerned about the rush to so-called “AI” and the use of synthetic text in all aspects of life, particularly when it substitutes for productive labor in policy generation and implementation.
Meme generation is not the same. Stock images are already trash, designed for bulk distribution as filler. If a machine can output an image that’s equally functional, no artist is deprived of the opportunity to create something meaningful, no onlooker is deceived into believing that a human mind orchestrated this camera angle or that brush stroke.
I am perpetually shocked at how many people don’t understand marginal tax rates, and I truly think ignorance of them is used to confuse people about how wages work.
Because it’s inherently low art, by which I mean the ideas communicated are barely above a snip of text. That’s not a bad thing, but it means a machine processing prompts can, with adequate discernment, produce an adequate output. It’s not short circuiting a creative human process, it’s helping you make slightly better stick figure drawings.
Memes seems like an appropriate use case for AI image generation.
I think he’s doing tricep extensions in the picture.
Shit we do that already and we ain’t even got the healthcare.
What if neither of you believe in expiration dates but one of you think it turned and the other doesn’t?
Man I’m trying to get through my cringe adult phase, I don’t have time to dwell on the past.
At least Shane grows a little.
Ha, I forgot about Nostr. That might actually be a useful application for blockchain.
He’s not a famous figure, he’s a child being exploited by his dad, and even on the page itself there’s nothing actually notable about the kid himself. It’s mostly salacious “controversy” about his gross no-name dad.
And actually encyclopaedias generally and Wikipedia particularly engage in value judgement all the time. Who is or isn’t a notable public figure, what is or isn’t a reliable source, etc.
Nothing about this child merits a Wikipedia entry. Maybe Encyclopedia Dramatica or Kiwi Farms or something else for the bottom feeders, but not a site that’s supposed to be for general human knowledge. GTFO with that.
If this isn’t a sign of the decline in Wikipedia I don’t know what is. Like it’s not even his channel it’s his dad’s.
Diffusion and overall brightness do make a difference as well.
Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That’s why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.
What was the appeal of Plex anyway?
I like some of it, but not everything. Customizable is good, but if it’s all preloaded and unmodifiable then it’s more a mockery of self-expression, isn’t it?
