your regular reminder that the guy with de facto ownership over the entire Rust ecosystem outside of the standard library and core is very proud about being in Peter Thiel’s pocket (and that post is in reference to this article)

e: on second thought I’m being unfair — he owns the conferences and the compiler spec process too

oh I’m absolutely keeping this article around for the next time some fuckhead tries to call me paranoid for correctly calling out some utterly obvious shit as 1024 bots coordinated by 3 guys on discord with shit to stir

that sounds amazing! the cans of alcoholic whipped cream I’ve got are non-dairy (so technically whipped topping, also don’t refrigerate it or it’ll go terribly wrong) and vodka-based and now I really want to try making some bourbon whipped cream

[–] self@awful.systems 11 points 7 months ago (3 children)

fuck yes. try it with alcoholic whipped cream if you can source some!

this is a gentle reminder to posters in this thread that the fediverse in general is nowhere near secure from an opsec perspective; don’t post anything that compromises yourself or us.

with that said, happy December 4th to those who celebrate. post commemorative cocktail recipes here.

e: remember, they call it the fediverse cause it’s full of feds

Since 2010 we have been working with what I call augmented intelligence. So I am now working with the team behind the scenes to create truly the AI version. Not AI in the sense of making up stories — but imagine if you now take, whether it be news or opinion, and you have a bias meter so that whether the news or the opinion, more likely the opinion or the voices, you have a bias meter, so somebody could understand as a reader that the source of the article has some level of bias.

they let this fucking guy near transplant patients?

In the aftermath of an LGBT hate incident, the then-CEO of cloud computing giant Digital Ocean told upset staff his mentor was a member of the KKK as an attempt to explain why they must bend their values because "we love the company"

(Obligatory, “oh thank God it’s not the game engine”)

that was my exact reaction when the thread popped up — it took me a couple seconds to realize the article was authored by Ed and not some asshole in the gaming-to-fascism pipeline still upset because the Godot engine rightfully bans assholes from their collaborative spaces

The government worries Ireland may lose its position as Europe’s top data center location. Frankfurt in Germany is currently second but has similar power problems, exacerbated by recent AI demand.

it’s so weird how this keeps happening, but the corporations behind it claim to be sustainable and people keep believing it
