I switched to Firefox on Android about a year ago, with ublock plus. It helps, but doesn’t solve the underlying issue.

I tried finding the original article to see what it looks like for me. And it more or less matches the above, except I think I have more screen real estate on my phone.

The horses have left the stable (diffusion)…

Sorry, bad joke.

I agree this will be bad. Dead Internet theory is just the beginning.

And they’re all going to raise their hands in dispair when they get hacked, scammed, exploited, or sued.

If you’re eaten by a snake because you sound like a frog, I will enjoy the scientific paper that results.

Okay. Having trouble compartmentalizing. One the one hand, SLS needs to be cancelled. Five years ago. On the other hand, it’s likely Musk’s wet dream. Wish somehow SpaceX could be wholly separated from him.

Sharpie. “not made in Canada”.

Maybe a sticker that says Harper left over from the Stop Harper signs. I dunno, I just spitballin

I can sense the tail twitch

Same think happening directly north, in Manitoba and Ontario. Weird spring. Rain is coming.

It will, but the image has to be in the body, not as the top link. A bit hacky.

Also thanks for sending along this content – very cool!

Mod the bossfights out of Witcher 3 or BG3 and they’d both be awesome

3m of precipitation is nuts

Any significant communities impacted? Scrolling through my subscriptions list and I don’t have any in my list.

Yes. However, a reduction in languages is usually linked with major authoritian episodes. For example, the rise of Latin associated with the dominance of the Romans. Or English, French, and Spanish with colonial dominance.

Any future reduction in language diversity will likely, unfortunately, be linked with such a period. Wouldn’t want to live through it, but it’s probable it’ll occur at some point, if you give us a long enough timescale.

Reminds me of a professor I had in undergrad, who liked to go on tangents. One day he says: “oh, someone remind me to tell the story of how I made gold in a particular accelerator.”

So one day someone asks him, and he starts the story: “well, first you start with platinum…”

Everyone rolled their eyes as platinum cost 3x more…

I remember when Mandrake was a young distro – a redhat derivative – and they (gasp) chose to compile for i586 instead of i386. People were like VROooooOM! And a bunch of other people were like: why would you target CPU instructions that not everyone has?!

As far as I know, there are still rad hardened 486 chips being made for satellite applications. But my info may be a few years out of date.

The 486DX was the last cpu I truly understood (i did things like disassemble code for it). After the pentium instructions were added, I kind of stopped tracking changes to instruction sets. Now I’d be lucky to follow someone else’s assembly with the help of tools. It was a good time for me, back in the day.

Down the rabbit hole I go! Send snacks!
