pet peeve: "good intentions".
if the intentions consistently cause bad things, then they just aren't very good. yeah, it's based on bad reasoning/understanding. it always is, that's how evil happens.
how else are these intentions supposed to be "good"? by making people feel good about themselves?
even people who think they "do evil on purpose" are just semantically confused. they still act according to their own values. though their…

It's cold, rainy (real showers!), and gusts of strong wind - but I needed to get some air. My wife wanted to get to the nearby shop for some bread rolls ... so we decided to do a 30min rain walk in full rain gear.

But it was - just - good! Rain jacket and trousers worked, same as head lamps. Shoes probably need some care. But good to know this now.

I keep thinking "surely there are good candidates" and then we inevitably end up with someone that's somehow two brain worms and three murdered dogs past a Nazi tattoo, who defends themselves by saying "well I didn't realize it was a Nazi thing because it was just the logo of the guy who wrote my favorite book"

maybe i should have a website again

A bipartite network of escort and individuals who buy sex from them in Brazil, extracted from a Brazilian online community for such ratings.

Edges are timestamped.

Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse
Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They'll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.

If you have a Liberal MP, you might consider writing to or calling them to let them know this is insane (for any number of very good reasons - you pick). As an historian, I can tell you that the archives are full of angry letters to MPs, cabinet members, and PMs and that at certain times waves of correspondence moving in the same direction have changed policy.
You might consider demonstrating too. A similar observation applies.

Finally, arriving at our our 10th province, Manitoba, and putting this series to rest means no more nightmares. Friendly Manitoba, it says so right on their license plates, also has hundreds of abandoned towns, but today we'll focus on Scarf. Named for William Scarf, not for winter clothing or the more recent term for eating quickly, the settlement began in the 1880s, started to flourish after train service arrived in 1907, and died slowly after train service stopped, with the last residents leaving in the 1980s. But in 2013, the regional mayor decided to sell parcels of land in the ghost town for $10. I wasn't able to find out if this plan to bring Scarf back from the dead was successful, but perhaps the area is cursed. In 2020, a tornado touched down near Scarf, killing two teenagers when their vehicle was swept off the road.

This is the 13th article that I’ve written lately on NTP and PTP timing with Linux.

I expected that to be rather pessimistic, and expected to see low microsecond to high nanosecond-range synci…

The whole thing is optimized for scams, deception and other criminal behavior:
- user interface that deceptively pretends it's a human you're talking to
- claims from companies highly exaggerate capabilities
companies and "experts" constantly hype "AGI" which they (funnily enough) do to both make investors greedier and spread fear and as a distraction because these algorithms can't actually do what they keep promising
- large-scale accounting and financial fraud (e.g. what Nvidia is doing with circular selling)
- biggest case of copyright infringement in history
Note: I think the underlying technology is really cool, and definitely has use cases and can be used for actually good things. But: some technology just has more downsides than upsides, and some should only be used by experts in controlled environments. Leaded gasoline, asbestos and chlorofluorocarbon are also all really cool technology.
In this case perhaps the techology itself doesn't do anything inherently bad, however the people making it are lying about what it can do, the people selling it are motivated purely by greed and the people using it (often forced to do so) are being deceived.
