  • Reform

    Jump

  • Thanks, I got my answer. Maybe I'll be back to discuss policy, which is what interests me the most.

    Are you dissing the instance I signed up with somehow? What am I missing here? The link is broken.

  • Reform

    Jump

  • I have no idea how you got that from what I wrote. I am not from the US, and I'm not discouraging anything. I'd simply allow discussions within the very broad umbrella term of socialism in the socialism community.

  • My Fellow Americans, We Are Richer Than Ever Before. Well, You Aren’t, but We Are

  • That GDP growth must be giving a warm, fuzzy feeling when you start your shift at the third job to pay your medical debt.

  • The urban core of Topeka, Kansas, consists of buildings scattered among parking lots

    Jump

  • I just put rectangles on like 6 blocks and got about 26% street area, then figured many places had bigger blocks or narrower streets. The area is measured by extensions -> measure path.

  • I measured the area of the yellow area in Inkscape. It's 30% of the image. The streets are roughly another 20% (and many of those are just circling the parking lots).

    So we could pack almost twice as much stuff into this image, and therefore reduce average travel times by ... 30%? Depends on how densification would happen.

  • The internet has made everything insufficient.

  • Can you touch type?

    Jump

  • Same. I tried really hard to learn it but gave up in frustration. 5ish years with plenty of computer use later I suddenly found myself typing without looking.

  • Tesla Sales Down 55% in UK, 58% in Spain, 59% in Germany, 81% in Netherlands, 93% in Norway vs. 2024

    Jump

  • IIRC tax reasons made it very much smarter to buy a Tesla in Dec 2025 than in Jan 2026. Norway has had a drop in sales, but stuff like this skews the numbers.

    "Gonna buy a nazi mobile yet?"

    "Nah, I have ethics."

    "They will be more expensive next year though"

  • Meta patents AI that takes over a dead person’s account to keep posting and chatting - Dexerto

    Jump

  • I deleted (not deactivated) my account back in 2014. In 2022 I tried logging in and found my profile exactly as I left it, nothing gone...

  • Winter Olympics in crisis as athletes deplete entire stock of 10,000 free condoms

    Jump

  • I would watch the cybernetic olympics.

  • Do you ever feel like you need to cry but can't?

    Jump

  • Yes. I haven't cried in about 20 years. Tried my best at my dad's funeral. I don't have a story that brings sense into it, it's like I just grew out of emotions.

  • The use of edible insects in human food

    Jump

  • If the nutrients are not as available, that should point to processing for extracting proteins and such rather than eating the insects directly. Like they do with some fungi for creating meat replacements. I think lab-grown meat and protein-rich plants make more sense, but anything that can feed people with less land use is a step forward.

  • I Tried RentAHuman, Where AI Agents Hired Me to Hype Their AI Startups

    Jump

  • Someone wise said that technology wants to spread into every corner of our lives. AI is no different. I just wish we could skip all the hype and realize it's a useful tool for some things, and that's it. Just like my fridge doesn't need to have wifi.

  • Beans for the bean gods

    Jump

  • Breakfast/lunch/dinner of champions/cheapskates. 👍 I have few meals of beans and rice waiting in the freezer.

  • ai;dr | (ai; didn't read)

    Jump

  • I've been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I'm waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

    I want my applications to be like this:

    "So we've published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?"

    (Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)

    ‘Can Mette-Marit be queen after this?’: Rape trial and Epstein files bring double crisis for Norway’s royals

    Jump

  • We wouldn't forget this soon. And king Harald is 88 years old, so it won't be long before his son takes over. If she becomes his queen, she would be an unpopular one.

  • Why? They want their millitary officers to stay racist, so it's easier for them to adopt a "us and them" mindset?
