Which Star Trek though? The Orville continues the best traditions of The Next Generation and Deep Space 9 - challenging viewers with ethical dilemmas that are tackled without being preachy or just childish like new Star Trek shows.

Good luck finding anything new of value in the endless ocean of fake LLM engagement, industrial scale astroturfing and outrage farming. I can see Influencer Reacts To Made Up Stories From r/amITheAsshole: The Movie as the best possible outcome.

Hook: Pokémon Red/Blue

Peak: Shin Megami Tensei IV

I think you could have easily shared it to one of multiple US domestic politics communities on Threadiverse.

When you see some far righter saying EU is useless, this is how they’re getting those ideas, not because of foreign influence. 1 million signatures thrown out of the window with an insulting voluntary guidelines outcome. Fuck this shit and fuck EU.

Anthropic has also filed IPO paperwork and wants to go public soon. Losing customers over an unpopular billing change right before a listing would hurt its valuation.

Investors don’t want line to go down, even if it’s a line of projected losses. Capitalism at it’s finest.

Perun is Australian (but he covers invasion of Ukraine quite frequently).

This is with all the free compute they’re getting from Microsoft, who are MUCH deeper in the hole on their LLM business profitability.

Steam is already enshittified, you’re just not the one being screwed. I don’t think there’s any other store on PC that takes cut as big as Steam does.

What would it take to convince you that regular people are no longer in power, have felt this for a long time, and now are lashing out by voting for political hooligans? The longer we refuse to accept it, the worse it’s going to get.

It doesn’t matter what is right, we’ve just been shown who is in charge.

Does that make it legal? Cool.

Literally anyone can observe wording in BBC headlines (a side hobby for many) and come up with an image like this. Not really "caught".

I’m not worried about backups since all of Myrient content originated elsewhere. The true value of Myrient was how accessible and fast it was and that’s the hard part that this project hasn’t demonstrated yet.
