I'd be less of an ML skeptic with a solid "this is how it transformed our entire business for the better" customer story.

So far all we've got is "it taught us people like to drink coffee in the morning," "helping the feds commit atrocities," and "bias laundering."

I think I am going to post all of the sketches and the pitch that I submitted for a 5e Spelljammer project I called “The Astral Tide”.

I never heard anything back, and I know it isn’t going anywhere, so I think I just want to put it into the wild. Maybe it will inspire others.

I wish I knew more about urban farming. Since I really want to do more around Urban Farming in Cyberpunk.

Like - I know a fair amount about *gardening*, and I know a fair amount about *farming* - but not an expert in either - nor the unique challenges of Urban Farming
I am fairly certain that this is the motto of most PbtA game

i for one did not know a significant number of republican men in the house of representatives live in the building like they're ducking security. presumably they gather after hours around a campfire to share a can of beans and a song

@allisonwilens A teacher said tht teachers wld quit if RSOs are gone. I told her thts good, we need teachers w/compassion & grace who see kids as kids, not threats or criminals. In partenering w/ppl living w/disabilities, environment & sense of dignity are the biggest factors in behaviors.

Capitalism concentrates our living spaces to the point where our brains can no longer conceive that we live in a community, and then traps the benefits of a people who don’t understand that mutual aid and community accountability can be a viable alternative to police.

Starting now, the @washingtonpost will uppercase the B in Black to identify the many groups that make up the African diaspora in America and elsewhere.

The Post will also use other racial and ethnic identifiers as follows (per company email):

Not as much as the relationship density suggests, I'd wager. Unlike other web giants who actively expect worldwide traffic except when they are barred from operating (then they cooperate with the local government to pass along user data), Uber only expects traffic from locations where it is enabled, reducing the overall infrastructure needs.

Video not taken out of context. Pushback not an overreaction. What you see happening is exactly what's happening. Straight from the horse's mouth. It's just that the horse either doesn't understand the implications of its tactics or DOES NOT CARE.

Hint: it doesn't care.

it's a bold direction, really. I've wondered when Linux would finally catch up with Windows, but this new direction of "keep old stuff working, but make it really annoying" is really bringing it up to parity with Windows 10.

Telecom needs to be nationalized and treated as a public service in Canada.

“Take control of the network shared by Bell & Telus that has been subsidized, given favourable regulatory treatment and was even partly publicly owned for many decades.” 👇

There's a good bet that soon SSL will be fully required by major browsers. This is good for security, but it's also symbolic:

Now you need someone's permission to put up a web server.

Now, LetsEncrypt is great and grants SSL certs freely. But what if they go away?

I am definitely not fond of all the bloatware in Ubuntu for sure. I tried it again once the dock could be moved to the bottom, but I still couldn't get myself to like it. For now, I'll stick with Mint. Access to all the same repositories, much cleaner in general, & the GUI is familiar enough.

Also - I think it's an important setting knob! D&D can't do low magic - but other games can - and so how magic is stored in *items* vs stored in *people* vs stored in a mystical world (captured by spirits, fae, rituals, or whatever) matters a lot.
silverwizard
OH! Also - Unknown Armies even makes this worst by making *all magic* be made by people, or cast by people. And part of the horror is that there's no magic that isn't *humans*. All the fucked up and horrifying stuff is because *humans have poor impulse control*.
