I mean there are hundreds of radio stations out there that are just playlist bots

Basically no one listens to them

Not sure why a commercial radio station with listeners would take this direction

Mac has always been opt+shift+hyphen

Honestly for old versions of windows yes, you had to learn the arcane alt+0151, but I was already used to that for typing in french on a British keyboard. It’s now more like Mac with win+shift+hyphen

Android and IPhone, you just hold on the hyphen to get to them

And many word processors (and Linux via compose) turn a triple hyphen into one

Honestly this is one of the biggest issues with it all that you don’t really see talked about much

Artists sink a load of time into a piece of art they are proud of, and because AI has got to the point now it’s not always obvious at first glance to average Joe, so people rely on heuristics to spot it instead.

For this artist apparently it’s “yellows”

For anyone who takes photos (or even video now) even half seriously, photos with Bokeh and good lighting get called out now

You like making instrumental electronic or sampled music? Get ready for everything to be called AI

Even writing: I always used to like using em dashes—they’re a pretty versatile piece of punctuation for any casual speech style of writing. If you use an em dash now though, someone just assumes the text is AI. So I’ve generally just stopped; not because I want to, because AI and people (somewhat understandably) not having a better way to identify AI writing.

Hell, I made an excel sheet the other day to work some stuff out and someone asked how I got the AI to do it…

Now I’m not saying it’s everyone, but I’m seeing a group of people forming, who basically say anything they can’t immediately understand how to do themselves must be AI. I have a suspicion it’s the same demographic that would say “well I could do that” in a modern art museum or “all they do is press play” when looking at any kind of electronic music production.

AI? Sure that probably contributed

But Reddit has been pushing its users away for way longer than that though

Wait, so now the meta is that you have to have a model you can’t control to keep the bubble going?

ivory coast

Landlocked

Not strictly my rarest

But I remember taking a good while to actually achieve it (FTL)

Oh hey

What an actual manchild

People who are actually done don’t write several essays in a week and set up targeted DDoS

Imagine having such an oversized ego to think that your views are the only correct ones, and then that it’s your duty to enforce them on others in clandestine ways.

Particularly when those views are ultimately not much more developed than those you’d expect a child to hold

A GDPR style carbon fine needs to be a retroactively applied thing to these hyperscale companies.

Every thousand tonnes of carbon they put into the atmosphere should be taxed at 1% of their year’s revenue, not profit.

You want to put 100,000 tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere in a given year? That should cost you everything you make.

For scale: Elon Musk’s XAi data centres are currently puking 6 million tonnes out a year. That’s double the carbon output of the UK

This is a bit of a misread from where I can see

There’s more people upset about not being on the list

Authentik is great, super versatile, if not a bit of effort to get it set up initially

Lol the keywords list is hilarious, imagine publishing a list of things that rustle your jimmies.

The CVE list always cracks me up, there’s like tens daily

Holy shit have they finally updated it?

They had Guardian as mixed factuality for years

Unless they’ve completely overhauled all their rankings though, I expect a lot of the more subtle biases will still be present

Edit: from a year ago https://web.archive.org/web/20250816111509/https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/

And it had been like that for a number of years (I don’t make a habit of checking it regularly given my distrust of it)

I can’t wait for around 80% of features moving to this one and needing to perform some kind of ancient incantation to access the old version for the remaining 20%

Lmao just read the readme of the project and got all the red flags I need

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) Integration

I can forgive someone with a passing exposure to it not knowing, but MBFC is notorious for having biased rankings.

The regular example I use is the Guardian being placed on the same factuality ranking as breitbart (the nazi rag), but it’s not one case, there’s a general right-wing bias in the rankings.

The developer of this project is very clearly just trying to put their finger on the views of their users

Okay go

Here I was thinking they should have made it look crappier

Honestly you shouldn’t need to break the bank at all to be better than the built in speakers in most cases. I don’t want to say definitively because I’m sure there’s some basically scam products out there, but pretty much any sound bar will be an upgrade in 99% of cases.

A quick search shows a number of well known brands with offerings under £100, and one from a company I don’t recognise that apparently seems to have a number of positive reviews and available for £40

You’ll obviously get a further improvement if you go above the budget level, but that’s definitely not to say you can’t get a decent improvement over not having one at all.

If we’re boiling water why not skip the middle man and get a solar kettle?
